The market for the English funds continue* to maintain a steady appearance, and present quota tions are without variation, compared with those last current yesterday. In foreign stocks, the principal feature is a decline of about 1 per cent. in Greek Bonds. English lines are dull. Preparations for the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks have commenced. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67fr. 57c., showing a trilling decline compared with the last price of yesterday. Consols are now quoted 93/ to* for money, and 931 to # for the account (September 9). The official business report is as follows :-Three pee Cent. Consols, for money, 931, 1 ; ditto, for account, 93j, 1 ; Three per Cents.

The operations in the foreign stock market to day are not large. Mexican, Italian, and Con solid& are rather better, while the Turkish Loan of 1858 and Greek have declined. The reduction in the latter amounts to 1 per cent. Venezuela Bonds are dull. Spanish Passive and the Turkish Loans of 1854 and 1862 are without variation. Some of the present quotations are as follows :- Turkish, 1854, 92} to 93} ; ditto, 1858, 72 to j ; ditto, 1862, 69 to ; ditto Consolidik, 501 to 51 ; Danish, 91 to 92 ; Greek, 331 to j ; and Peruvian, 85} to 861.

The Confederate Loan is steady, at 23k to 22} discount, and the scrip of the Italian at if to 11 prem. International Financial and London Financial shares are rather lower-the former at 31 to 4 prem., and the latter at If to 111 pram. General Credit and Finance are steady, at 11 to if prem. Hudson's Bay are quoted 2 to 11 dis. ; and Egyptian Trading, to 1 prem., being slightly firmer. It is stated that not the slightest importance is to be attached to the terms in which the Vienna press speaks of the Archduke Maximilian's nomina tion, and that not the least doubt can be entertained that he has accepted the crown of Mexico. Accord ing to one report, one of the first steps to be taken will be the contraction of a loan in Europe under influential auspices, for the purpose of giving a start to the new government, and the over due Coupons of the English debt, amounting to er Gent., will be properly provided for in the con ditions of the loan, which will, it is affirmed, be based upon the principle of avoiding any loss to the bondholders in the sum owing to them for interest. It is further alleged that the 110,0001. belonging to the bondholders, which was stolen by Miramon, will be paid to the British government without delay. About 25,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. The Ceylon , from Alexandria, has brought only 1,2771. inspeCie. It would appear from official sources that the Greek government will require a new loan for 800,0001., one-half for past and the other moiety for current expenses. The report that some German banking houses have offered the Spanish government a loan in order to cover the lose sustained in Manila is considered very problematical. The committee of the Stock Exchange has ap pointed Monday next a special settling day in the shares of the Company of African Merchants (Limi ted), and which are to be quoted in the official list. Compared with this time last year, the weekly traffic return of the South Eastern Railway shows this week an increase of 1,1121. ; and the London, Brighton, and South Coast a decrease of 1,6401. At a recent meeting of the proprietors of the Westminster Chartered Gas Company, Mr. Erskine May was elected a director by a majority of 50 votes—the number for this gentleman being 849, and Barker 799. We are glad to see the wholesome system of proprietors of joint-stock companies electing directors, instead of directors electing themselves provisionally until the next meeting. The French government shows a great desire to extend commerce in the East, having caused a circular to be issued to the different Chambers of Commerce pointing out the field that exists in China for inc eased trading operations. A telegram, dated Patna, August 21, states:— "It has been raining heavily since the morning, and it appeals still heavier iu the islands. Much fruit is exposed, particularly of Pyrgos and Gulf. The opening prices have not yet been fixed." A general meeting of the Ha for Granite Com pany is convened for the sth of October to consider the propriety of dissolving the undertaking. An extraordinary meeting of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway Company will be held at Brus sels on the 15th of September. The following is the estimated cotton crop of Turkey :—Anatolia, Caramaids, Syria, 550,000 kintals ; Boumelia, from Volo to the Dardanelles, 350,000 kintals; Cyprus and other islands in the Archipelago, 3 0 ,000 kintals; Georgia, dc., 30,000 kintals ; total, 930,000 kintals, or about 315,000 bales. And Greece will produce about 70,000 kintals, or 25,000 bales; total, 340,000 bales. We are requested to state that Mr. William Vaughan Morgan, of the firm of Morgan Brothers, of Bow-lace, Cheapside, was yesterday elected a director of " Time English and Irish Bank (Limited)" in the room of Mr. E. J. Blumettlial, who has re- MONDAY EVOITEO. There was a fair demand for money to-day, at 31 to 4 per cent. The applications at the Bank of England were upon a moderate scale. With the return of coin from the provinces the money market is expected to exhibit an easier appearance. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 931 to f for the 9th September, opened this morning at 93 3-16 to 5-16, or 931, and closed at 931 to f. For money the last price was 93/ to f.

It appears that the murderer of Miss Goodwin, on his arrival at Whatatandwell.bridge railway station, cm Friday morning, went to Mrs. Burley's, the Bull's Head inn, and bad two glance of brandy and water, telling the landlady that he should probably sweat a bed fora night or two, but that depended upon ancemehumes. He left a carpet; bag at the ion, and then walked to Wirksworth, calling at the Red Lion hotel, in that town, and had four " braediea and Nodes," the last of which he forgot to pay for. He then proceeded to the Grange and committed the foul crime. He wrote from Manchester on Thurs. day to say that be should visit the Grease on Friday, bat the letter has not been produced in evi. dance. After tise inquest on Saturday he was removed to Wirksworth lock-op, a great crowd lining the way, and , threatening vengeance on the culprit. The primmer con. I .used lightly about the weather and other trivial subjects, and seemed bent upon making hilliest( as agreeable corn- panion. On searching him at the !wk.,* a diary, liquor flask, pipes, tobacco, envelopes, sad about 12s. in money, were found upon him, together with the draft of a letter applying to see Miss Goodwin before he went abroad, On Saturday and Sunday evenings he did not rest wall, bat he partook of his meals with great heartiness. On Buda) he was mated in his cell by two nompanior, who came to see him from Bury, in Lancashire, and oo their return to Deaby in the evening they inetructed Mr. Leech, solicitor., to defend hint. The mother of the murdered girl arrived at Wigwell Grange on Saturday evening from Manchester. When the prisoner arrived at Derby railway statioa, pre vious to being conveyed to the county gaol, he met his father on the platform, the latter having just arrived by I train from Manchester. It is useless to say that the meeting was a distressing one. Prisoner gave his address , as G. V. Townley, Req., Hoodlum Vale, Queen'apark, Manchester. It was stated that his father is a commission agent, and that the murdered girl's father is a civil en. goner. The miamer we. brought op for examination at the Moot hall, Wirksworth, yesterday morning. The hall was densely crowded, and the greatest interest was manifested in the movegs. The prisooer, when brought into court, entered rsation with the solicitor who had been retained to defend him. He appeared to be perfectly calm and collected, and, after a long conversation with Mr. Leech, at down in the seat provided for him. He is five feet nine inches in height, and has a gentlemanly bearing. From time to time he gazed round th e crowded room, and to all outward appearance was the most noonecened person in the pleas. Before any evideace was Oka, Mr. Superintendent Barton :aid a letter we. seat by the primmer to the anardered girl, but he decliaed to give it up nukes the magistrates wished is. The letter would show that Vaasa was a premeditated one. Mr. Leash aid he could not resist the application if the magistrates wished it to be produced. Mr. Radford, senior magistrate—By all means send for the letter. . _ The magistrates then sent a written request to Captain Goodwin to forward it. The letter was received by the , unfortunate young lady ae the of the murder. The first witness ealled was the Eev. Herbert Harris, head-master of the Wirksworth Grammar School, who said —I knew the deceased. Her name was Elizabeth Caroline Goodwin. She was Y 2 years of age. The pri soner, whom I knew, called twos me about half-past one o'clock on Friday last. He mid he had called upon me as a friend of Miss Goodwin's. I saw him for the first time about six or seven months ago. Prisoner mid, I suppose you know of the engagement between Mir Gonalwin end myself." I said 1 was certainly not aware' of it, tut I understood that there had been an meat, but that it had been broken off. Prisoner said has written to me to break off the engagement and re fuses to see me. I wish to know bow matters stand." I mid, " Anything that I know is in confidence, therefore my tongue is tied." Prisoner said, " Who is this clergyman that has been stayiog at Wigwell 1" I replied, "A clergyman bee been staying &VOA( well, but I decline to give his name." He asked me if Mies Goodwin was at Wigwell, and I repair d that I believed she was, as I had seen her there on Wader day. Prisoner said, ' Sooner or later I must see her. I have set her free, but I must hear from her own lips that she gives up the engagement. She is of age and at liberty to please herself. I know lam not a good match, sad Ido not wish to stand in her way." Prisoner thee took some refresh ment with me, and it was Mau two o'clock. I told him I moat go to school, and if he would ma again at half past four o'clock, I would see him spin. He called again at half-past four, and I told him I thought that the best plan would be to write a note to Miss Goodwin, post it, and ask for an interview the next morning, or that if he went up to Wigwell that night I had uo doubt she would see him. He said he would do so, and on leaving my door he kilted me if I should be is all the evening. I replied that I should. Prisoner said he would mill oo me maim TLat was the teat thing that paned between us. I can't answer the question of Mir Goodwin being engaged to a ecrgyman, excepting from hearsay. Mr. Leech—Your acquaintance with Townley wen ex tremely slight Witness—l only saw him once before last Friday. Evidence to the same effect as that given at the inquest, reported yesterday, baying been taken, The prisoner was committed for trial at the next anOses, remarking, in answer to the magistrate's clerk, that he had nothing to say. howma WIDINSDAY. 01 MB THERSDAT.

The utmost distance at which the cable had had to be fished up for repairs was 21 miles, and be hoped that improvement' would be made which would prevent any serious accidents in future. After some discussion, the report was adopted, and a di vidend at the rat* of 4 per cent. per annum declared.

CART DRIVING ON • RAILWAY.—A NARROW Eectee..-7'h• other day, en extraordimuy incident took piece at the Lea Statics, on the Preston and Fleetwood Hallway. A farmer named William Kirkham, residing at Oatforth, was re turning from Preston, along with his mother, in • earlKirkham wee quite drunk, and on the road he picked up another farmer, named William Noblet, residing m Bartle, who also was the won, for liquor. The road on which they were travelling crosses the railway at Lea. A train had jut passed to Fleetwood when they got to the station, and although another wee nearly des for Preston, the stetion muter,. conceiving that there wee ' ample time for Kirkham to drive acmes the line with kis cart, opened the gate. The station muter afterwards went to some luggage, taking it for granted that Kirkham would drive over the line in the usual way. Instead, however, of doing thie, end notwithstanding the remon stranoe of Nobles, who made several endeavours to stop the hone, he proceeded to drive upon the line towards Pre.. toe. He had gone some distance when the Matlock muter heard a scream. He looked round, and observed the party driving up the line, and lug wife (who had come upon the platform at that moment) waived a train approaching from the direction of Fleetwood. Kirkham was still driving along the line, and would have been immediately overtaken by the train had not the station master's wits goes to the signal poet and put up the signal, and in this way stopped the approaching en i gins. Whilst she wee doing this the station-muter was endeavouring to stop the horse and cart. Kirkham was very obstinate, and could hardly be persuaded to turn round, notwithstanding the dangerous position he had got into. If the station master's wife had not brought the train to a stud at the very moment the did, there is no doubt whatever that Kirkham, his mother, Nohlet, and the horse and cart, would have been dished to pieces.

The particulars, as far as w. I can learn, are as follow .—Friday night was the benefit of. ; Mr. Charles Rice at the Royal Princess's Theatre, Saturday closing the brief but successful engagement of that intent , gent and versatile actor. One of the pieces brought foc i ward on the occasion was The Victims of Circumstances, i the character of Lepoire being personated by the trtnl- Jiciare. It happens that Lenoir° should be poisoned, and that the poinuotia ingredient—a powder—should be ei :ratty mixed with Lenoire's drink ori the stage ; in other words, in presence of the audience. This is the author's arrangement. On Friday night there was an innovation in the libretto, and, en it happened, r rather dangerous one. The pl..y went on smoothly sough till the poisoning scene, when, instead of • powder beiue used by the character whose duty it is to poison, • liquid was used, and that Ikrid was laudanum, a small vial full of which was mired with Lenoire's potations. The effect wee soon notice able on Mr. Rice who staggered through his part— which fortunatefy was sho-t —under an ilicreasing feeling of drownineen. He felt that he was the Victim of Circumataitres in a manner he had not bargained for—he became conscious of a mistake that was all but fatal. Of course, when the curtain fell there was an immediate in quiry as to where the landaettm tense from. It was found that it had been taken from the property-room, where usually no laudanum is allowed, and where it never was before. How it came there in the present cue is out known ; and how the laudanum came to be used instead of the powder is also • mystery. Mr. Rice recovered after the use of mild restoratives.—Caledonian Mercury.

THE WEATHER AND THE HARTEST.—The break in the weather which occurred in the early part of lase week was of an extent only sufficient to put a slight and partial check to harvest operations. The rain which fell was greatly wanted for the pastures sod root crops, sad has been highly beaeticial, though a good deal more would, for them, have been extremely acceptable. Notwithstami hag the long continued fine weather Um harvest is not no near a coach:sloe as was anticipated. A vast clearance has been made, and under the most favourable conditions pos sible, but there is yet no inconsiderable acreage to tie both cut and carried. The end of the present week, however, must see the close of the harvest in the district save only in mere exceptional instance". Al regards the result of the harvest, all opinions concur in prossoundog it to be our of the bout in point of quality we have been blued with for many yam; whilst as to bulk it is decidedly beyond an average. We hear nothing as to potato disease. As a rule, the ,lm pies are uuusually good. From the hop districts the returns speak in more favourable terms than last week. The miss, though all too alight for the requirements of the plant or the desires of the planter', have cleaned and refreshed the bine, and given it • fresh start ; and except where all respect was gone and the plant in • positively hopeless condition. considerable improvement has takes place. In the good and well cultivated grounds the advaoce is especially apparent, and many of our planters have the prospect of gathering very productive growths.—Seasem Adrert jeer.
