ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 110 ME CIRCIIIT.---CROTDON, AVOIST 10. (Before Baron Bramwell.) TO ....is Jeffrey, who was coiv 'Artist the commencement of thu ?isms, of leldwously wounding withiutent to murder, was brought up for judgment. The herned Judge, in pawing sentence, said that the pri soner bad been couvicted of a very monies oirence. It ape peared that be had, without soy provocation attacked th tosecutrix, in whose boom he had hoes • lodger , and in. Jicted x ,orison injury upon her throat, and at filet be imagined that be could not have been of sound mind. Thera did not, however, appear to be any grounds for supposing that this was really the ease, and he hod consulted Mr. Baron l'ilaunell in reference to the case, and be concurred with bin, iu thioking that it was one that required a severe tun G , ofe. aud that it was necessary to prevent a dangerous pen., o.ich as appeared to be from haring au opportu -314 of d sang furtheriiiischief.

TIM MUMS WU resumed to.day. Rrjaint Rdlentil). and Mr. Francis were for the plain tiff and Serjeant Parry and Mr. Robinson for the defen dant. . . Toe plaintiff is the action is the owner of a cab, and the defendant is the well known distiller, who. the public aware, Las organised at his own expense and maintains• fire brigade with powerful steam engines for the purpose A emoting the regular fire brigade in extinguishing fires in the metropolis. The action was brought to recover compensa tion for injuries done to the plaintiff's cab, while standing man the rank in the Blacktriars-rusia, by en engine be 3ooging to the defendant that was proceeding to a tire, about twelve 'clock at night on the 15th of May. The cam for the plaintiff was that while the cab was standing upon the tank the engine was driven out of the New•cut at • furious pace, and that the driver, who desired to go towards the bridge, was unable to tura his horses until he got quite across the road, and be then turned sharply across the road, aud ran Naiost the cab and knocked it over, doing damage to the extent of 12/. or 141. There was the usual amount of contradiction that always occurs in these running-down cases, a Dumber of witnesses, firemen on the engine and others, being called to prove that the accident wee caused by the cabdriver pulling his c.ab off the rank in the way of the eugiee, and that if he had stood still the accident would not have occurred. The evidence was most con flicting. The jury retired at half-past two o'clock to deliberate, and after belog locked up several hours they intimated that there was no chance of their agreeing upon a verdict. At nine o'clock Mr. Avery, the deputy clerk, went to them and inquired if they were likely to agree, and they Mated that there was no chance of their doing so, end tt was arranged that at ton o'clock they should be discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A respectable-looking man, named Christopher Homan, sad described as as optician, appeared on bail before the Lord Mayor yesterday, charged with having stolen various articles toe property of his employer, Mr. Browning, opti elan, ill, theories. Mr. Wontuer again appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the defendant. The defendant was foreman in the employ of Mr. Brown ing, and it was his duty upon receiving orders from the pro secutor, or the manager, Mr. Blakely, to give the materials to the men and see the work was completed, but he had no sight to undertake any job or give any work out unlearn the order was first given to him. home information was, however, given to the prosecutor, who on Tuesday last made an examination of the drawer, attached to the prisoner's beach in the workshop, and there found the bode of a microscope, and in another part of the room, under the bench of one of the workmen, he found the fit, tinge for a microscope in the rough, and also some plans and patterns of a microscope. He also found some tools for microscopic work—which was a branch of the business with which Mr. Browning was not in any way con nected—called " jiggers," which with the other castings bad been made by the workmen on the premises, and cast from the prosecutor's materiaL Witnesses were examined yester day to chow that the usiterial and the labour had been paid for by the prosecutor, and that the prisoner had requested them not to let Mr. Browning see them. One of the witnesses, named Oweo, who made the jiggers, co being crass-examined by Mr Lewis for the prisoner, said the prisoner said both the pa tternsand thecastinp of the two jiggers were made from Mr. Browning's materials, and as far as he understood they were to be used in the prose actor's business. He was to have one himself, and as the defendant would not allow him to remove a gas burner to get it op, be was going to sat it up at his own bench, and the ether defendant was going to put up at his own bench. He had been in the habit of using a jigger at other places, in fact he could not do his work correctly without., and bad econplaived on second occasions to Mr. Browning at not having one, and upon being re-examined by Mr. Walther be said he had never seen snob an instrument used in Mr. Browning's establishment. Another witness, who made the patterns and turned the castings for the microscope lased, said the prisoner gave him the work to do, and raid he need not let Mr. Browning We it, and that he thought he should be able to make achromatic powers, and if Mr. Browning found be could do so very likely he would eater into that branch of the business, sod that the prisoner told him not to take too much pains over the work, so that it should not take too much time. When the prisoner's lodgings were searched some few articles were found there which were identified by the prosecutor as his property. His lordship committed the prisoner for trial, but ad mitted him to bail, himself in 10t.1., and two sureties in 501. sash. GUILDHALL A young man marred Atkiaeon was charged with obtain by mesas of a forged order, a quirotity of silk haodkx. duets, the property of Messrs. Ellis and Hubbard. From the 'sidemen at appeared that the prisoner had previously been in the employ of Messrs. Lee, and in that *rapacity he laid become acquainted with the mode of busi- IMO of the house, and also the warehouses with which the firm dealt. Coe day last week the prisoner presented en order requesting that three pieces of silk haadker chiefs might be supplied. No suspicion was enter tained, and the goods were supplied, nod the prisoner left. In a few days after Messrs. Ellis received a printed circular, informing them that a young man was obtain ing goods in the name of the firm of Messrs. Lee by means of forded orders. While the circular was being read in the office the prisoner was seen to pass into the warehouse, and • polies constable was sent for, and the prisoner given into custody. After that the prisoner did not deny the charge of falsely obtaining the goods. A gentleman from the firm of Pearson, Son, and Coro. pan►, said the prisoner mine to their house a short time ego and requested that a quantity of clothing might be supplied him, as the agent of Messrs. Lee, of Teigornouth. As the order produced was informal, and further that he could not give a reference to any person in the City, he was not supplied with the goods. A number of other witoesses gave evidence to prove that various otherhouves bad been victimised. . • Alderman Allen remanded the p risoner till Wednesday nest. SOUTH WARK. Thomas Chapman, a respectable looking man, area ebarged with obtaining money horn Mr. George Mansell, print, and proprietor of the Lamk:th Observer and South London Times, by mean' of fictitious and forged ad vertisements. Mr. Mansell said be fingered the prisoner as advertise ment collector at a salary of 15s. a week, and tea per cent. commission on all advertisements he brought. During the last few days he had cause to suspect the prisoner, and on inquiry he found that he had brought him one pound's worth of fictitious advertisernenta. They were not inserted, sod on inquiry he found that they bad been forged. He had not paid the prisoner the commission on them, but he bad one in his band purporting to come from Mears. Peter and Co., Waterloo-rued. which came to 1T,.. He had paid the pri soner the commission oo that, and had since found it to be a forgery. He then gave information to the p lice , and caused him to be apprehended. The magistrate asked if any of the persons wbase adver tisements they were alleged to be were present. Mr. Mansell replied in the negative. Ile wished for • remand to amble him to produce them. The priaooer denied the accusation, and said that he should Le able to show that the advertisement Irvin Mean. Peter awl Co. was genuine ; but as for the others, he only handed them in, but cot for insertion. He had not even charged for them. _ _ The impetrate remanded bim to enable the prosecutor to produce the necessary witnessee. THAME9. Jaems Retell vron . a bilt.l.cr and a tripe-dresser, was brought before Mr. Woolrycii, charged with sterling a gold watch and chain valued at la, the property of John Itayner, coffee/bolts/ keeper. At the time of the robbery the prianner was carrying on a good business at No. 93, Limehouse-causeway, bring with lin family and respected by and on good terms with his neighbours. On the 6th of July last the prosecutor, wbo has long carried on the business of a coffee-house keeper, in Hope•terrace, Three Colt-atreet, Limehouse, the prisoner and others, were in the Two Brewers public-house in Fore strert, Lirnehouse. All the parties were Oct the hest of terms, and conversing and drinking with each other. The prosecutor became inebriated. and the prisoner seemed very Wilollll about him, and offered to remove hie gold chain and watch from him neck and take care of them. The prosecutor aro& d not allow the prisoner to take care of his watch and chain, and said, "I can take care of my own property." The prisoner, however, persevered, and took the watch and chain from the prosecutor, who thought he had been robbed. and said. " Where is my watch!" The prisoner said, "Here it is ; take it home to your wife," and was allowed to keep possession of the watch and chain. The prisoner, however, immediately absconded with his neighbour's watch and chain, forsook his family, and was heard of since until yesterday, when he was met by a City police-constable named Sendai, No. 638, ill Birbopagate, who took him into esstody. A pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the prose nalOr'S gold watch and chain was found upon the winces. Mm, IBE EXPRESS; TUESDAY EVENING, AT; GUST 11, 1863. John flood, assistant to Mr. Francis Cotter, of No. 10, Shoreditch, produced Mr. R.syner's gold watch and chain, which the prisoner had lambed for N. 10e. Mr. Good mud he had coescientiona objections to the taking of KU oath, and claimed to make Lis solemn affirmation in the terms of the act of parliament passed io the sessioo of 184;2. He was questioned by Mr. Woolnch, and said he was Dot a Quaker, but a member of the Free English Church at Hackney. He attended the services of thet church. Scrip ture said, '• Swesr not at all,' He believed the usual oath orejnarily administered to witnesses in our courts of justice was taking God's name in vain. Mr. Woolrych permitted the witoeu to make his solemn affirmation, in the terms of the set of parliament. James Barton, a covetable of the K sli‘ision, raid the • prisoner had not been in Limehouse, or any part of the dts triet, since the robbery. He understood the prisoner had been teSwaesea, in %Vales. The prisoner, in defence, said be saw Mr. Rayner play. • ing at skittles on the 6th of July, and ho war no iotosiiuted that he fell down. Mr. Rayner then came in front of the • her, lad he kink his watch sod chain away, with the intro ' tion of delivering both to Mr.. Heyuer, but instead of doing so, raised :F. Itla. upon them. Mr. Woolrych-1 shall remand the prisoner until to morrow. ItOINTON AND ITi:HIN ItAILWAY.—TIin ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday at their offices, 61, Gracechurcb-street ; Mr. Colic old, M. l'., in the chair. The chairman moved the fol. lowing resolution :—" That a dividend at the rate of 6 per tier cent. per annum, lees income tax at the average rate of . rid. in the pound—being at Sd, in the pound to the sth of • April, mid 7d. from that date to the Ist inst.—and Id. per stock for expenses of management, be declared on I the Royston, Ilitehin, and Shepreth Consolidated Stock for the half-year ending 14 of August, 18113, and be paid forth with. Sir R. W. Carden seconded the motion, and it was ' carried unatoxiously. Messrs. John George Fordliam and Jueeph Sharpies, directors retiring by rotation, were re , elected. BELFAST AND NORTHERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.-- I The reiairt of the directors states that the passenger re ceipts for the pant six months chow a fair increase on the correepoadieg pelted of 1862. The goods traffic also exhi bited& ateady improvement. The total receipt. for the half year amount to 51,7531., against 50,5771. for the correspond ing half of 1862, showing an increase of 1,178/. The work. ing expenses have been higher than usual, partially caused by extensive repairs to the rolling stock and the running of two additional trains per day between Belfast and Carrick fergus in connexion with the trains on the Larne line and the abort sea passage. The rates and taxes are also higher. The amount available for dividend is 16,307/. ; the 4 per cent, on the preference will absorb a 200 i. ; and the dime tors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, amounting to 12,:e30/., be paid to the proprie tors of the ordinary shares, leaving 907/. for the reserve ' fund, which will then amount to 2,715/. The capital account showed that 1,092,6681. had bees expended, leaving a balance against the company of 77,835/. CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY. —The accoun ts up to the 30th June last show the amount received for the past six months to be 8,889/. 4s. lid., against 8,9061. 15s. 3d. for the correeponding period of 1862, exhibiting a slight de crease on the half-year of 17/. 10a 7d., which may be con sidered satisfactory, when the agricultural depression passed through is taken into consideration. An outlay was found requisite, preparatory to the opening of the Kin sale Junction Railway for traffic, by the purchaae of more rolling stock, erecting a new station at the junction, and the payment of 5004 out of 1,8001. for • new engine ; &leo a balance due the Cork Steamship Company for the iron bridge at lonoshannon, amounting in ell to 1,2761. Is. which the directors were obliged to borrow from revenue and charge to capital. The revenue account, mad: up to the 30th June last, shows • surplus of 3,2381. Os. 3d., after providing for all expense out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared on the No. 1 preference shares at the , rate of 51 percent. per annum for the half-year just ended ; and they aim recosmend the payment of the deferred war rants (No. 2 preference share.) for dividend due the half year ending 30th June, 1862. Since the last half-yearly meeting the directors are enabled to report the opening of the Kinsale Junction Railway for traffic on the 27th June last, and they hope to give a favourable report of the same at the next half-yearly meeting. The directors also state that the works on the West Cork Railway, from Bandon to Skibbeveen, a distanceof thirty-three miles in length, have :men commenced by the contractors, Meson. Wheatly, Kirk, and Co., of Manchester ; and the directors are informed that ten miles of the lied has already been obtained, and about seven miles of the railws,• made ; and the contractors state that they can open the line from Bandon to Dunmanway, a distance of nineteen miles, by next summer. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. CENTRA L RELIEF FUND. The weekly meeting of the Central Executive Committee took place at Manchester yesterday. The Earl of Derby presided; and there were present Sir J. Kay Shottleworth, Lord E. Howard, M.P., Major E Leigh, the Mayor of Manchester, and Messrs. A. H. Heywood, Wor rell Ashworth, R. Disclaims, C. L. Ashworth, J. R. Kay, AL Ross, and Roberts. Mr. Mecums, the honorary secretary, reported the balance io the bank, 317.1681. la. 10d., and that 1,373/. se. tid. had been rewired daring the week. No clothing had been received or distributed. _ _ Mr. Commissioner FAKNALL presented his usual weekly report, by which it appears that the utmost point of im provement has been turned, and that on the Ist inst. there was an increase of 1,299 persons in 27 unions receiving parochial relief. Grants were made to the following places :—Salford, 7501.; Pendlebury and Swinton, M. ; Brindle, 201. ; Choiley, 100/. ; Todruorden, 100/. ; Whitworth and Pscit, MO/. ; Roston, 120/. ; Chaddertm, 101. ; Newchurch, 1001. ; Manley, 405/. ; Stalybridge, 4001. ; St. Paul's, HAD well, 3.. W. A long discussion ensued as to the probable effect of certain clauses of the Public Works Bill on the employment of factory operatives. BLACICHUBN.—A large increase in the number of operatives engaged on public works having been mode during the past few days, the weekly relief returns show a 0011.5i derable decrease. The number of persons relieved io the union during the week was 6.613, at a cost of 3521. 9s. Id., against 6,674, at a cost of 3671. Ils. Bd. in the previous week, aod 8,891, at acast of 4811. la. lid. in the corresponding week of 1862. The decrease in coats on the week is upwards of 154 to the parochial authorities, while to the relief com mittee it is considerably greater, the industrial schools having been given up and the attendants put to outdoor work, of which they greatly approve. - - - - PRESTON. —The cotton trade fluctuates very much. Some firms are increasing the hours of labour at their mills, whilst others are curtailing then.. One firm, Ileum Ainsworth and Co., who have been working during the whole period of the cotton famine, have given notice that their mills will close when the present stoc► is worked up. The relief committee relieved during the past week 4,622 cases, comprising 15,631 persons, at a cost of 7501. lls. 10d., being a considerable decrease in comparison with the pre vious week. 852 chddien are at present being educated by the committee. Owner.—The chief constable's return of the state of employment in Oldham for the month ending Bth August shows an increase in the number of unemployed operatives. There are 118 cotton factories in the municipal borough, of which 31 are on full time with all hands. 41 on full tune with s portion of the hands, 25 on short time, end 21 stopped altogether. Of machine shops there ere 28, of which 13 are on full time with all hands, bon full time with a portion of the hands, Bon short time, and 1 stopped. There aro 18,605 cotton operatives, and of these 7,584 are working full time. 5,570 short time, 1,907 four days, 2,137 three days, and the others from one to five days—aud 5.451 are out of work. The maclituiata number 6,588, and of these 5,808 Sr. in full work, 530 on short time, mostly on four days a week, and 250 are out of work. The manufactories ■nd collieries in Oldham number 163, of which 50 are on full time with all h■uda, 49 on full time with a portion of the hands, 41 are on short time, and 23 are ebtirely stopped. The total number of operatives is 26.211; 13,669 are on full time, 6,741 on short time, and 5,801 are unemployed. There are 824 more on short time, and 1,737 more out of work than during the previous month. 211 C 11.1t1M11 CORN MIMI'. (From the Mark•laer Expet so.) Although there has beau ocearioual rain, the weather has been summer-like and favourable to har vest-work. as well as the maturing of the later crops. Much loss new wheat has cools to hand than was expected by this time ; but it seems it bears the test of the mill with • very satisfactory result, the flour hitherto made of dry samples being vastly superior to that of last year. And as equal satisfaction is expressed as to the probable yield, there is reason to be thankful that the backward spring, with its threatening aspect, was the precursor of plenty. A. respects spring corn, barley and beans may both be some what deficient, the formerpreseeting great variety of sample; but oats and peas will be good if not great crops. Ireland, which for successive seasons, has hung like a cloud is the west, is nicking her gatherings with still greater satis faction, though some rumours of potato disease have come from thence. It now appears almost certain that the United Kingdom will be better off in the yield of corn than for 800111 time past ; but with an enormously increasing population and decreasing stock, foreign help I will be 'gain needed to meet the increased demand. No serious break to barvest-labours has yet occurred abroad • but the potato crop, though remarkably free from dense, appears much lessened by drought in some parts of Germany. Prices, both here and on the con tinent, have but little eliaoged ; but a gradual decline has been going on in France in consequence of abundant offers at the several markets. From Odessa, however, accounts are yet more decided as to the serious local injury sustained in the more immediate neighbourhood from a temporary tropical heat. And this, with a very marked deficiency in Hungary, will lessen the exports of the Black Bea. Not much differeo.e can be noted in New York price*, but the tendency of floor continued down wards ; and this was the same at Montreal, the receipts being large. The arrivals off the coast since July 31 were 86 cargoes ; of which 46 cargoes were wheat, 36 maize, 1 barley, and 1 beans. The prices realised were as follows :—Marutnople wheat, 425. ; Berdianeki, 40s. 6d. ; Ghirka. 395. to 40s. 4id. ; Polish Odessa, 395. and 40s. ; red winter, 425. 6d. and 4sB. ; Milwaukie, 40a. and 425. Maize, 26e. to Ns. 3d. Barley, 23.. to 25.1. lid. Rye, 3 . 2 a 3d. and 335. 6d. for continent. Beans, 295. 9J. to 325. per qr. The sale@ noted last week were 57,933 qn wheat at 45r. Ild., against 52,750 qrs. in 1862. The London averages were 48s. 7d. on 1,943 qrs. wheat. The imports into the kingdom for the week ending August 1 were—in wheat 114,184 qrs., in flour 88,026 cwt. Monday in Mark-lane opened on a better supply of ' English wheat than fur some time past, but the foreign arrivals were scanty. The morning's contributions from Kent and Eerier were small, and the prices of old remained much the same as on the previous week, with but a slow demand. Several samples of new appeared, but not enough to settle prices or make a market. Some good Talavera was on offer, and some fine heavy common white brought 584. ; but inferior qualities were also on show, and some were sadly wanting in condition. The' foreign trade was retail at unaltered prices. With but little demand for floating cargoes, prices gave way Is. yer qr. On Wednesday there were 380 qrs. per coast, 10, iBO qrs. foreign. With favourable weather still ruling, business continued on a very limited scale, with prices much the lame for old wheat, as well as fur the little new on show. The foreign business was also much restricted, though prices were the same. Friday's returns were 410 qrs. coastwise, and 26,280 qrs. *foreign. Though some rain had fallen, it proving rather beneficial than injurious, the wheat trade was very languid, there being some of Monday's samples, both old and new, uncleared. IC was equally dull as respects the foreign trade, though prices were unaltered. There was a fair supply of country dour fur the time of year, but the foreign arrivals were moderate. Norfolk@ and other country marks were a heavy sale at nominally the previous rates. The demand for American barrels was languid, without quotable change ; and this was the case with town-made samples. On Wednesday there were 240 sacks per coast, and 15,010 barrels foreign. Though coun try marks were still quoted at former prices burlier was very difficult, and still more so in barrels, from the good arrivals. Friday's returns were 320 sacks cosstwise, and 57,770 barrels foreign. The very heavy . American supply and close weather were still against bunnies', and scarcely anything was doing, rates of Norfolks and barrels being nominal. - Very little British barley came to hand on Monday, and the foreign supply continued limited. A few more new samples appeared of rather more kindly quality. The little doing in foreign medium and grinding qualities was at the previous currency. On Wednesday there were 20 qrs. per coast, and 580 qrs. foreign. With but little demand fcr middling and low sorts, both English and foreign prices were well supported; but malting samples were not in request. Friday's quantities were 20 qrs. coastwise aLd 3,540 qrs. foreign. These light supplies kept prices for the lower de scription very firm, but business was quite retail in amount. The malt trade was quiet on Monday at unaltered rates. The week closed with prices nominally the same. There was a large supply of foreign oats on Monday, though but few English, Scotch, or Irish. Some specimens of grey new winter appeared from Kent, very good and heavy. The trade lost the buoyancy of Friday's market ; and, indeed, occasionally there were sales at rather less money than on the previous Monday in order to place more freely. On Wednesday there were 6U qrs. per coast, 640 qrs. Irish, and 17,720 qrs. foreign. Without an active de. mend Monday's rates for all descriptions of corn were fully supported, both in English and foreign qualities. Friday's returns were 80 qrs. coastwise, 640 qrs. Irish, and 22,9.40 qrs. foreign. There was then no change in the market, ex cepting that Archangel oats were leas in request, prices being from lee. to 19s. per qr. But few English beans were reported on Monday, 'and not many foreign. The trade was, nevertheless, slack for all descriptions, with prices much the same ; and so they con tinued through the week. The arrivals of Engliih peas were more abundant than of late, and there was a good supply from abroad. Among the English were more new hog-feed of gaud quality, and for these leas money was accepted by Kentiab factors ; but foreign were held at previous rates. There was no subee quest alteration. With a good supply of linseed prioes remained firm ; and so they did for cake. In this state the market closed on Friday. . . . . . . . . _ The seed trade remained very quiet. Red American cloverseed and tine canary supported previous rates, as well an new trefoil. Rapeseed was rather easier, some samples being damp sod difficult to quit. With harvest work in progress the country markets have been generally supplied with wheat on but a small scale ; but millers not being at all eager to get into stock, prices generally have continued much the same. Occasionally a market has denoted a slight reduction, as at Huston, to the extent of is. per quarter ; and the tendency in some has been to advance, as at Newbury, Is. per quarter. The Liverpool mat ket on Tuesday quoted the rates of the lrevioue day for wheat, which was Id. to 2d. per cental be ow the quotations of that day sn'oriight , dour being also dearer td. per barrel. Egyptian bears ware rather cheaper, but other spring corn remained as before. Maize dechoed 6d. per quarter ; mixed, to 26e. 6d. ; white, to 29e. 6d. per quarter. Or Friday there was no change, excepting that beans were rather cheaper and maize rather higher. No quotable change has obtained this week in the value of spring corn. Wheat met a good sale at Edinburgh at firmer prices ; but American was down at Glasgow 3d. to lid. per boll, and flour as much per brl. Other gram was unchanged in value. The Dublin market has continued dull, with prices scarcely sustained fur wheat or maize. Sons new oats ap peared of light quality, and sold readily. it being thrashed from the field. From Linoulnshire, on the same day, it was stated : "We are now having plentiful rains, which are doing immense good to turnips and pastures, but are beginning to be unfavourable for harvest operations in the way of cutting, which is checked and little pogrom made. But beyond this there is no harm, hut metier good. ll:avast is now geffeml here abouts." 8 iturday proved a splendid harvest day, sunny and breezy, with the thermometer up to 76 dega. in the shade at mid-day, barometer 30.10 in. slightly falling, most probably from the heat; wind B.W. Ou this day we think a good deal of wheat would be carried, but we expect to see the samples come forward in softer condition. The deliveries of new samples during this week have been of various qualities and condition. Dry rough chaf has goes into the mill from Essex weighing 8511 M., and some splendid nursery touched 661 b a, but there are many ,sciarse samples from that portion which had been laid by the heavy rains previously, and some of these only weighed 6111,5. The quality, therefore, will not be universally hue, as generally had been anticipated from the favourable reports of the crop. Prices ranged from 45e. to 58a., showing a considerable difference in value. As to yield, nothing certain can yet be stated, but opinions favour a good produce.—Mark Lane Express. INDIAN PINANCK.—THE APPROACHING RE PAYMENT We FOUR PER CENT. DEBEN TUBES. (From the Money Marker limier.) On the 10th July the Secretary of state for India gave notice that he Ras desirous of raising a sum not exceed ing 8.000,01)01. sterling upon the security of India Four per Cent. Stuck, to enable him to'redeem 4,824,500/. of India Four per Cent Debentures, felling doe on the Bth October next, and 3,172,000(. of India Four per Cent. Debentures, falling due on the Bth April next. The holders of the deben tures were to have the option of changing them into the Four per Cent. Stock, irredeemable for 25 years, provided they signified their assent by the 3rd inst. If they omitted to do so, they were to be paid off when their debentures arrive at maturity, viz. ' as already slated, on the Bth October sod the Bth Apr il next. It is believed that the holders of not more than one fourth of the 8,000,0001. of debentures have sweated to the proposed conversion into Four per Cont. Stock. The option has now expired. When Sir Charles Wood iutroduced his Indian Budget to thirty members who took the trouble to listen to it, be is re. reported to have said, in speaking of this traosactioo, that the Four per Cent. Stock had, "in the first instance," I been offered to the holders of the debentures that were about to expire, and if they did not accept it they would, of course, be paid off. Thus (added Sir Charles) " I shell either establish • considerable amount of Four pee Cent. Stock, or reduce the debt by paying off existing debentures." We drew attention to this remark able statement at the time, and observed that it would be as well to have it explained before the rising of parliament, but as no one in that enlightened assembly cares about Indian finathe, the matter has remained with out explanation. We observed recently that "the paying off of 5,0011,0001. of debentures would occasion some important changes in the money market, se it would probably involve the calling in of • large cute of money, which the Indian council bas lent on securities, while the holders of the maturing debentures, on their part, would have to find other channels of investment for their money." The result shows that the matter now stands very much as it was then put. Six millions of 'edam debentures. less only such amount as is held by the Council of India itself, are to be paid off. We assume that this will be done partly by meths of the balances which the Indian government have accumulated in Enlacd through drawings on India, and pertly by the sums paid in on account of railways. It would seem probable that se large • sum can only be paid off by a further reduction of the balances in the government treasuries in belie. The broad facts of interest are that, at the periods named, • total of 6,000,0001. of ludia Debentures (subject to the deduction already mentioned) have to be paid off. Their repayment cannot fail to promote ease in the money market, and to stimulate • demand for solid investments. The English funds, Indian railway stocks, sod Indian govern ment securities of all kinds, will, we should imagine, derive chief benefit. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH YORK HIRE. The directors of this company, in their report to be submitted to the proprietors, state that the sum of 42,1511. 4s. sd. has been added to capital under the several accounts shown at page 7. The revenue account on page fi exhibits a gross income from all sources, under agreement with the Manchester, Sheffield, ; and Lincolnshire Company, of 9u,v231. earned at a total expenditure of 34,511/. 7s. 7d. ; leaving a balance of 55,5111. 17s. 5d.; which, after meeting the in terest sod preferential dividends, will yield a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital. and the directors recommend that such dividend be de clared accordingly. A resolution will then be submitted for the creation, under the several acts of the company, of 260,0(At/. share capital for the purpose of providing the neces sary fund, for the construction of the works authorised, com prising the improved line to Thorne, the Bridge over the Trent, the Extension to Sheffield, and the Subscription to the Trent, Aocholme, and Grimsby Railway Company. The Sheffield Extension is rapidly spproachieg completion, and will shortly be opened for public traffic. The progress of the construction of the bridge across the Trent is not such as the directors were led to expect. The Board of Trade having approved the Plan for the protection to the bridge aim the navigation of the river, the directors hope there will be no further delay in the prosecution of the work. The Trent, Aucholme, and Grimsby is progressing, and will be ready for opening before the completion of the bridge. NORTH EASTERN. The directors of this company, in their report to be submitted to the proprietors at the nineteenth half-yearly general meeting, to be held at York, on Friday, 14th August current, state that the accounts for the past half year exhibit an increase in the receipts of 63,1121. over those of the corresponding period of 1862. An increase has taken place in the traffic embraced in each of the three depart meets, but it would have been more satisfactory if the re ceipt of this additional revenue could have bean regarded as an indication of a general revival of trade, after the severe depression expenenced last year. A oormiderable portion of the increase may, however, be attributed to the opening of new lines, and to the construction of new works for the accommodation and development of the trade of the district. The accompanying tabular statements show the receipts and expenditure in the first aix months of the years 1861, 1862, and 1863, from which it will be seen that the revenue of the past half-year has not reached the amount received in the corresponding halt-year of 1861 by 24,3121., although since that date 27 miles of new line have been opened ; and on those lines, and other new works, there has been expended, between January, 1861, sod Joon. ary, 1863, the sum of 1,040,704/. A portion of this atnouct has been laid out on works which an still unfinished, and therefore unproductive ; but the greater part has been spent on lines, rolling stock, warehouses, dm., which have been in use, and have contributed to the revenue during the past half year ; so that the general result of the half-year's working .howl that with the addition of new lines, and with increased facilities for traffic in all departments, the depression still existing in some branches of trade has been such as not only to stop the usual progressive increase, but to keep the re ceipts at a lower point than they were in 1861. These cir cumstances have necessarily exercised a prejudicial effect on the balance available for dividend to the ordinary share holders. The proprietors, however, have the satisfaction of knowing that their property is more complete and secure than it has ever been before, and that on a general re turn of commercial activity in the manufacturing dis tricte, they may fairly expect the receipts not only to attain to, but to exceed any point hitherto reached. The balances available for dividends on the revenue accounts of the different sections are as follows :—On the Berwick account, 160,722/. 7s. 10d. ; and on the Thirsk and Melton account, 1,5754 lls. ; on the York account, 52,1071. Bs. 3d. ; on the Leeds account, 13,7031. is. 7d.; and on the Carbide account, 36,7854 15a. The directors recommend that out of the above sums, dividends at the following rates be declared, viz.:—On the Berwick Ordinary Stock, at the rate of 44 per cent. per annum, leaving 5,0834 le. to be carried forward to next account ; and on the Thirsk and Melton Stock at the ate of 4 per cent, per annum, leaving 575/. Ils. to be carried forward to next account. Os the York Ordinary Stock, at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, leaving 3,81.17. 2s 3d. to be carried forward to next account. On the Leeds Ordinary Stock, at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, leaving 63.5/. 13s. sd. to be carried for ward to the next account. On the Carlisle Ordinary Stock, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum ; nod on the 4 per cent. preferential stock an extra dividend (to make the dividend on that stock equal to the dividend paid on the ordinary Lock), at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, leaving 6351. 15s. to be carried forward to the next account. The di enters have much satisfaction in reporting that the appli cations made by the company to parliament in the last ses sion have all been successful. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The directors of this company state in their report for the half-year ending the 110th Juno that the total traffic receipt. amounted to 2W3,746/., against 205.501/. for r he cor responding half of last year, showing adecrease of 1,755/. The net surplus revenue for the half-year amounted to 80,942/., out of which the directors recommended that a di vidend at the rate of 44 per cent. per annum be paid to the proprietors of the conaolidatedatock of the company, lec-ving a balance of 1,660 i. With regard to the traffic, there was au ionease of 3,1441. in the receipts for the third-clam passen ger. only, which was attributed to emigration. The goods traffic showed a decrease of 5 563/., being quite unpreceieuted since the opening of the railway, and couldooly beaccouoted for by the great prostration of trade ia the country. The di minished dividend for the past half-year woe not caused by the comparatively small decrease in the aggregate traffic, but from the balance brought from the preceding half-year being so much leas than usual for the first half of the year. In the taxes there was an increase of 1,600!., principally owing to higher poor rates. The directors i.aw no reason to be di*satistred with the present position of the company, the country having suffered seriously from the effect■ of three bad harvest* in succession, but they now looked forward hopefully to a plentiful harvest, in the benefits resulting from which it was expected that the railway would largely participate. The extension from Roecrea to Nenagh was now finis Led, and ready for the government inspector. The extension to Birdhill would be finished in the course of October next. The capital account showed that 5,448,041/. had been expended, leaving a balance of 42,41.811. to the credit of the company. ULS7 ER. The report of the directors of thin company states that the receipts for the six months ending the Roth of June amounted, for two months on 52 miles std for four months on 64i miles, to 413,046 i. against 47.151 W. for the , same half of 1562 on 52 miles. The receipts of 48,046/. included 8.814/. on the Dungannoe line, showing an in-' crease of 8891. upon the Ulster am! of 7901. on the Dungan- non traffic. A traffic •rtuogeme•t has been triad' with the Irish North-Western Company, in conjunction with the Midland Great Western Company, by which the lines in that district would he made to serve the purpose. for which they were constructed. The restoration of the subsidy to the Atlantic titeem Narigaron Company and the immediate resumption of steam communication between Galw►y and America could not fail. if aided by the aeration of tho war, to be of value to the shareholders. The traffic of the Duegannem bad not yet realised the expectations of the directors, Lut they were in hopes Data better understanding with the Irish North Western lompauy might lead to the early development of legitimate solaces of revenue over the line which have sot hitherto been enjoyed. The working expenses amounted to 26,1:34/. After payment of the work mg expenses and Pled charges there remained it balance of 16,458/. The directors recommended the increase of the balance by drawing 1,667/. from the reserve fund, and to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum—namely, 255. per share on the original shares and 12a. Gd. per share on the half-sharr, lees income tax. With regard to theCloues extension, the director had served the contractors with notice forthwith to complete the works, and that they would take such steps with regard to penalties as they might he advised. The capital account showed thset 1,002,0"9 , . hail been expended. The traffic receipt. for the half-year amounted to 56,8711., and the ex peer. to 20,634/., showing a balsoce of 30,0371. The reserve fund showed • total of 10,4071.

According to existing arrangements, the attack and siege operations will take place on Friday next. WOOLWICH, AUGOAT 10. This morning the Industry, iron steam vessel, was being towed to the Mercury, coaling-hulk, iu the har bour, "'ben she came slightly into collision with the Supply deem vessel, and struck her foremast, which was in such a rotten condition that it was carried away, and fell in three pieces upon the deck. It is fortunate that the accident occurred, as it is evident that the mainmast was un seaworthy. The gentlemen cadeta of the Royal Military Academy will return to that institution, after seven weeks' vocation, on Weil:mods, nest, and resume their studies on the following day. An additional class will be formed of thew pupils who obtained admiesion by the last competitive examina tion held at Chelsea Hospital. VALUE OF LANDF.D PROPERTY IN THE ISLE OP WIGHT. —The estate. of the late Sir John Cai ter were sub mitted to public auction at the Bugle 100, on Weduesdsy, and altogether comprised 1,079 acres of laud, situate hi the parishes of Carisbrooke and Wootton, several farm houses, cottages, and reversionary property of every description. The first lot consisted of Alviogton farm, Forest farm, and Reeds form, together measuring 715 acres, beeidea copy holds and quit rents, the rental at present amounting to about 700/. per annum, but as there was no biddiug beyond 22,700/, the lot remained unsold.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. A smart shower was experienced early on the first day of the week, bat it afterwards was fine and breezy, warm end genial. There was some slight drizzling rain on Monday morning; the afternoon was finer ; her. ;at inches, tber. ($8 deg., winds S.S.W. Our udvicee on Tuesday were as under from Spalding :—" Sill,* my last report the wea ther has been fine, foreleg the growing crops to maturity. The harvest will be general in a few Jaya in this district. We had a few shoe era to-day, with the appearance of more rain." From Hull, the same day :—" The weather during the week has been exceediugly warm, and the crops are fast ripening. During the night we have had some heavy raise ; wind west." From Ipawich, on the same day :—" Our farmers are very busy securing • glorious crop, and the scud ding clouds, which threaten rain, have kept a good mauy at home to urge forward the housing of such fields as are ready." Wednesday morning was threatening, with some slight showers; some heavy ratty bad fallen in various parts of the country during the peat sight and on the preview day, which checked harvest work materially. Our advice' from Newark state: "During the past few dye the weather has been unsettled, and • good deal of rain bee fallen, most opportunely for the grass land., which were suffering from the long drought. In the more for ward places both wheat and oats hove been cut, and there is eve") , probability of an abundant yield." Harvest work woo stopped on Thursday moron*, • good deal of rain having fallen throughout the previous night. The day proved cloudy and dull, but the after part breezy, and the barometer was ',lightly ribiag. Our advice' from Suffolk on that day state " With beautifully hue weather harvest has media rapid progress ; • large breadth of wheat has been cut, end a fair proportion carried. On Tuesday night we had • nice rain. Yesterday was flee, this morning we have showers, which, although interrupting wheatcarry log, will be of great benefit to the barley and root craps. Some early pieces of barley have been cut, and in a few days this crop will be ready for the scythe." From the same county nearer the coast it was remarked : " We bad • nice steady rain to-day, which will materially improve our barley crop, but will stay the carting of wheat, and prevent the early supply of new which stony anticipated bad the weather remsinded dry. The reports of our crops are favourable, and our growers consider it will be a yielding year." From North Wales, neighbourhood of Ahergebe, our advice' state: "The portions of arable roil grazing lands are about equal, and the crops look well, the wheat especially, beieg well fed and of a good bright colour. Har vest commenced on Thursday week, but only partially ; next week, if the weather (which is wet at present) should be fine and bright, like last week, wheat cutting will be gene ral." Friday proved • warm muggy day, with slight rain at one p.m., but it turned out tolerably doe throughout the remainder of the day. From Devonshire it was mated the wheat was in ; but much having gone to stack, must there remain fors abort time, as the weather ham not permitted NEW KIND OP COTTON. Cotton has been found in Cuba growing on a vine, which runs along and covers the ground. It is not very fine, but white and strong. As in the very hottest masons there are heavy dews in Jamaica, it has been sop pmed that tbia kind of cotton in likely to encased on the lands on which the tree and Sea Island cottons will not thrive. A very small quantity was tried in various parts of Jamaica, and some at the reformatory near Kingston. Through the kind attention of Earl Russell and the Foreign office, the Jamaica Cotton Company are likely to obtain a considerable quantity of the seed, as will appear from the following letters : Foreign-office, July 31, 1863. Sir,—With were.ce to my letter of the 2nd ultimo, ni directed by Earl 'tumult to transmit to you herewith a copy of a despatch which bas been received from her Majesty's Acting Consul-G.

S. Bourne, Esq., 55, Charing-arose. Havana, July 1, 1863. My Lord, —Immediately upon the receipt of your lord ship's despatch, No. 9, of the Ist ult., I set about procuring the 100 lb.. weight of cotton seed of the particular species, a specimen of which ass enclosed by the Jamaica Cotton Company ; but I regret to inform your lordship that owing to the difficulty of obtaining that quantity, I fear that 1 shall not receive it from the country io time for transmis sion by the inuircolonial mail steamer leaving this on the 7th inst., rid St. Thomas, for Jamaica, which is the only means of communication between the two placer. The seed will consequently be forwarded by the August packet to the Rev. Mr. Bourne. _ . _ The demand for cotton seed is very great here in Cuba ; it is extremely difficult to obtain any owing to the blockade of the Confederate porta. If the Cotton Supply Anocia- Um of Manchester would send me some tons of good cotton seed, it would be • great boon to the enterprising plantain here; for I am happy to report to your lordship that the prejudice &pipet the cultivation of that great staple in this island is being gradually overcome by the tine multi which have been obtained by those who have tried it. I receive constant ap plication for seed. I am not prepared to make the report which is ordered relative to the quantity of cotton grown in Cuba, but I shall do so as soon as I am in pomession of the data which lam collecting on the subject.-1 have, Icc., (Signed) 0.

It will be recollected that Colonel Waugh surrendered to his bankruptcy, and an order was made fur his release, on finding two sureties in 2,0001. each and himself in 4,000 E. The present application was to obtain his release without Leib Mr. Dudgeon appeared for Colonel Waugh, and Mr. Bulled for the official manager of the Eastern Bank. Mr. Justice Keating, after hewing the learned counsel on both aides, said his present impression was against the application, but he would consider the Act sod the authorities cited. His lordship deferred his judgment. LONDON CABMEN'S FRIENDLY SoCIETY.—The fourth anniversary of this society was celebrated yesterday by an excursion and meeting at the Crystal Palace, which was atteuded be a large number of cabmen and their families. At 3 o'clock a public meeting was held in the Terrace dining-room, presided over by Mr. Maxwell, a gee tleman whn has takeu great interest in the promotion of the cabmen's clubs, who was supported by the Rev. Hugh Allen, Mr. Delmer, J.P., and other gentlemen. A letter of apology was read from Mr. It. Hanbery, M.P. who was to have taken the chair. The chairman, in introducing the busies.' of the meeting, defended the cabmen from the churges of insolence and extortion so lavishly brought against them. He had had great experience amongst cabmen, and generally found thorn a civil, obliging, and iudustrious body of men, though doubtless amongst the mass there were some black sheep. but the many should not be condemned for the few. /Ir. G. Smith, the secretary, having made a statement as to the present position of the society, referred to the agitation which had been carried on for the last twelve months for the revision of the present Hackney Carriage Act. A few weeks before the clone of the session a petition, signed by 4,0(10 proprietors and drivers, was pre sented to the House of Commons by Sir Morton Peto, pray- Sig for committee of inquiry into the working of the pro s ut act. The committee, with legal assistance, had drawn up a bill contaiumg the amendments on the present act, which, if adopted, they believed would cause it to work satisfactorily both to the trade and the public. This bill , bad been taken charge of by Sir Morton Peto and Mr. Cox, who had held several interviews with Sir George Grey on the subject. A copy of the bill bail been left with him. and he hail promised to give it his best consideration, and he added that the government were prepared next session to unlit the que.tmi. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Dormer, the Rev. Hugh Allen, and others, and con. eluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. the parties assembled eliepereiug to participate in the amusements pro vided for them.

On reaching Yarrow Haugh, the party landed, and were seated /41110 thstanee from the boat, when the gun lay in the best's bottom, the muzzle extending & few inches over the gunwale. One of the crew, Thomas O'Brien Liddle, was engaged in the alter sheets of the cutter, getting the things ashore, while Thomas Gregory, who was out of but close to the boat, asked Liddle if he should take the gun satire. Little twice told him to let the gun remain. The boy, who was a short distance (ruin the boat, now Gregory reach his hand to the gun, enJ almost immediately after the piece went off. Gregory fell to the ground, and only said, "Oh, Tom, I'm shot!" Liddle jumped ashore, and seeing Gregory's hand bleeding, and thinking the wound in the hand the only one, bound it up. Gunner Cone arrived instantly, and finding blood honing from Gregory's chest, tore open his clothes and discovered a large wound in his breast.
