f:L.4118.1111 %/\C 1,0.111'.4.%1 Yesterday a special meeting of the shareholders of is compene was held At their once% 7, Great Wincheeti r toreet, Old Broad-street. Mr. Jois,l BISOWNI: in the chair. Mr• lit Nr, the secretary, reed the notice calling the meeting. The Cirentmos then said that before he proceeded to give to the shareholders any inform &ion with tespeet to the condition, progress, and prospects of their undertaking, he 1111 s anxious that they should understand that the present meeting was not one in conformity with the constitution of the company, but MOSe from the desire of the committee to' satisfy the natural anxiety of the English share holders upon all those points, so that the ;meet- ' one was not competent to pass any remluti in binding on the company. lie did not mention this to convey the impression that there was anything to be brought before them which might merit their ilisapprovol, and he assured them that every expression of their opinions met from the committee the utmost respect. The fact was, that they would not have been at all convened, had it not been for a delay which hid taken place in the issue of the definitive shares. He should first proceed to explain that delay which hail, he was aware, been irksome to the share holders, but ines defile, and then address himself to the other points explanatory of the nature of their property. The delay which he had mentioned hod its rise in the circumstance that several important companies had had disputes with the Prussian government upon the leg: lity of issuing their definitive shores without the payment of stamp duty. 1 was true that some com panies had issued them without the impress of a govtrn anent etamp, but had, by doing an, rendered themselves amenable to large penalties. The committee of the present company had, however, discovered the legal objection where on the point of issuing their definitive shares, and as • consequence hod to suppress them, and to get a fresh sure ply printed, forwarded to lierlin to be stamped, and aligned, as their deed yequired,— by the English board, by the board at Brussels, - Ind by that at Co• Lurie. There were now completed, and would be issued on Monday neat, and so end a grievance which had existed too long, but which hail been unavoidable. The next question was that of the delay which had taken place in the complete formation of the company, and as they were naturally anxious to learn when the company should cease to be ell cuninartnelite and become anooome—when the committee of wiere,llonee should become a board of direction, he should endeavour to explain to them the reason of the delay. It was thus. They had got a price set on their mines, and the Prussian government had recently deb mined not to sanction any prices which might be given while the company was eit,. , _.tritnentliv, but so soon as the authorities approved of them the company would be completed. That event he assured them was not far distant. lie hail now to speak with regard to the general state of the company's affairs, and to inform them that they were in this position. They had a capital of 40,0001., of which they had expended 22,0001., and had the balance in hand. They might inquire if the whole of the 40,0001. was paid up. and he had to inform them it was, with the exception of 4,2111. lls. 3d. due from the English shareholders, because the company had published an silver. tisement to the effect that the definitive shares would be issued on the payment of the last call ; and, as these shares would next week be ready for delivery, they might regard their capital es altogether paid up. Its return for the 22,000 f. which they had expended , they bad now in pro gress smelting works of an enormous extent, and two hun deed acres 01 a freehold estate on which they had an im portant ingredient in the successful working of their smelt ing operations, viz., a supply of lignite or brown coal ; they had also a large quantity of Were nfractaiee, or pottery clay, a material of great value in the manufacture of zinc. He was not saying too much when he stated that from the lignite alone they would realise a profit of several thousand pounds. The price which they had paid for this valuable estate was only 1,1100!., although there was growing en it a quantity of timber, to the value of 6014. The worthy CHAIRMAN having here explained the cir cumstances which had led to the appointment of a new me tallurgical manager of great ability, and to that of a highly skilful potter, proceeded to detail the progress of the works. They would, he said, in the course of six weeks be able to begin smelting with fourteen furnaces, and in a month after that period they would have fourteen more at work, and then another set of fourteen sod each set upon a distinct system, with a view to the final adoption of that/which would yield them the largest return and he was sure that, upon a baleoce of casualties, the pro prietara would find that the hopes held forth in the pros pectus were fully realised. They had seven mines worked by open cuttings, one of which was able to supply them with 1,000 toes of calamine ore annually. There was also another just opened, from which they would be able to get sufficient raw material for all their furnaces ; and he had just heard from Captain Phillips that, with the labour of Li men soil a horse and cart, he was, at the outlay of It ; per diem, able to obtain from the Margarita-Josephs Mine 30 toss of ore weekly, worth 4/. per too, and calculated to yield GO per cent. of line. Ile had, in conclusion, to state that their secretary (Mr. Hunt) hal examined the accounts kept at Cologne, and found them all correct. Mr. SIAN tv ooafirmed the statemeuts of the chairman. The Cum itieast, to reply to the questions of the share holden stated, that the company hail 500 men in employ ment-300 at the smelting works and 200 in the mines— that the eat of the mines had been as yet 2,0001 ; that there was a supply of ore at surface sufficient to last for 18 months, and that the mines were worked in the manner, and with the facility of a common quarry. Several shareholders expressed their satisfaction at so flattering an account of the adventure, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The petitionlOunder which the bank rupt now applied was dated July Gth of the present year, and was at the instance of Mr. Carttar, solicitor, Greenwich. It may be raw:ushered that after the previous failures his lordship had taken upon himself the renewal of certain debt., and it was said that the present bankruptcy was to re/ease himself of those renewals. The balance sheet, con sisting of forty f.lios, and estending from January 1819 to July 18.13, was prepared by Mr. J. D. Fowell, of Basing halirtreet , and contains the names of upwards of one hundred creditors (the debts contracted since the former failures), and *Lowed the following results : Debtor To creditors, 3,0861.; ditto on debts under former bankruptcy renewed, 8,7661. ; ditto under insol vency, 2,613/. ; liabilities under former bankruptcy re newed, 42,2607. ; ditto under insolvency, 4,6501. ; cash from relations, 3,395/. _ .

The last statute puts an end to these re newal,. The attention of the assignees must be particularly called to these renewed debts, particularly to the bond of 20,000/.

JUSTICIC Jaes .4Hy14..,' Labor, 40, merchant, and Guillaume Ca►l TheopAile Soup', two Frenchmen were indicted for forging an order fur the delivery of goods with intent to defraud. Mr. tarry prmecuted, Mr. Robinson was counsel for the prisoners. It appeered from the statement of the counsel for the prosecution that the prisoners were French exiles, and the amp of forgery was brought against them under these Mr minastanceis. It appeared that Labia bad hired a room in a beam in London Wall, and that from this address he had men se applicetion to a M. Dicier, a truffle merchant at Cayenne*, in France, under the signature of Soug.• and Company, Mr a quantity of truffles amounting in value to 1001., and they were sent accordingly, and came into the possession of the prisoners, and were disposed of by them. It was proved that the prisoners were connected together, and it was alleged in support of the prosecution that the Wising of the room and sending the order in the names of Sousa and Company were merely fraudulent pretence, to obt sin goo s, and that under these circumstances the prife nen w:re Amenable to the charge now preferredagainst them. Mr. Justice Talfourd expressed an opinion that upon these facts the charge of forgery could not be supported. The signature was, to a certain extent, a perfectly genuine oae, and it was Blear that there was some sort of connection between the parties, and he hardly thought that under the circumstances the act of signing the letter " &lige and Co," amounted to forgery. The jury, therefore, refereed a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoners were then charged upon a second lid let aunt with obt.,:ning goods by false pretences. The Mat counsel were engaged in the case. The evi dence was tLe same as in the former charge. It was also proved that the prisoners were in a state of great poverty, and that at the time they pretended to be carrying on the business of merchants in London Wall, they were in great distress, and that Source obtained • subaistence by earning a shilling a rin by making pasteboard, or some occupation of th.t description It was also proved that immediately upon the rterio of the truffles, the cases containing them were sent to a cottage at Welham-green, occupied by one of the prie seer - . countrymen, and there was some evidence that they were disposed of for 50/, of which cam gouge received Id/. and the other prisoner 40'. Mr. Robins's' addressed the jury on behalf of the defend ant.. and he urged that there was not sufficient evidence to show the they were cot actuated by the bona fide intention of eat eblietsiag liniments ax merchants in London ; and be called witnesses, who deposed that both defendants had borne a ;sod character up to the time of this transaction. The lam site: being in deliberation nearly two houn, re .

Mr. Justice Talroned 'hen sentenced Labat to eight and Souse to two months' imprisonment. made out. The Star Company, it was well known, bad used the greatest exertion to prevent the violation of the act, and did not hesitate to put on an additional boat, as was the case on the day alluded to, which was the meet busy of all the season, when there appeared to be occasion. He represented the insurmountable difficulty of preventing the rush of the public, who, in defiance of all expostula tion, jumped over the sides of the boats, and he contended that after all, if, as he would by no means admit, there had been a small excess, the extraordinary care shown upon all occasions by the Star Company, justified the expectation, that no penalty would be inflicted. Alderman Wire said he certainly gave the Star Com pany great credit fir the disposition they had shown to carry out requirements of the act which had been produc tive of an much good, and the provisions of which were so judiciously and vigorously acted upon by the two inspectors. He felt it to be his duty, however, to mark his sense of the necessity of a conviction in the case on which the defendant had pleaded not guilty, but under all the circumstances he believed it would answer the ends of justice to fine the defendant twenty shillings for carrying a great number than the law allowed, and five shillings a head for ten pas. mongers exceeding the legitimate number, with respect to the charge of having gone on the excursion without an ex cursion certificate the defendant must pay twenty shillings more for that infringement of the law. The fines and costs were immediately paid. MARLBOROUOH-STREET. George Collyer, cab-driver, was summoned by a gentle man named Carlton, residing in Curzon-street, for having unlawfully neglected to deliver a printed ticket with the number of the cab upon it at time of hiring. Mr. Carlton sa'd alter he paid the defendant his fare he told him he had omitted to give him a ticket. The defen dant said that was not his business, but afterwards he did give a printed ticket. The question to be determined wit., whether the defendant was not bound by the recent act to deliver a printed ticket to his fare as soon as the hiring took place ? Mr. Hardwick was aware that some difference of opinion existed as to the legal meaning of this portion of the act, but he had no doubt about the matter. lie was of opinion that the ticket was to be delivered at the time the hiring was made, and not during the journey or after the journey. He should therefore impose a fine of Ws. and costs. Mr. Edwin James, barrister, Pall-mall, was summoned by a cab driver, named lugleton, for refusing to pay his legal fare. The cab driver said he had been four times to the court to prefer the charge, but Mr. James had taken no notice whatever of the summonses which bad been issued from this court. Mr. Hardwick inquired whether Mr. James was present now ? A young man, who said he was valet to Mr. James, came forward, and stated that his master was too busy with his circuit, end House of Commons and House of Lords duties to find time to attend to the complaint. Mr. Hardwick remarked that the time of the cabman was quite as valuable to him as Mr. James's time. He really thought Mr. James should have shown more consideration than ta have put off attending to this cue for so long a time. NEW COURT.-YEBTEIDAL Btf.Ml TOL COMMON SILLSZANT. George Clash, 23, labourer, was indicted for stealing from the person of John Richards, a watch valued at 12/., and Godfrey St-red', • respectably dressed youth of the Jewish persuasion, surrendered to take his trial for feloniously re ceiving the same. Mr. lorry prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Metcalfe were for the prisoner Sewell. The circumstances were these : The prosecutor was, at one o'clock in the morning, upon the 2nd of July, robbed by four men upon Tower bill, who got away. Upon the 24th Richards being at the Thames police-court upon some busi ness recognised the prisoner Clark, who was there under charge for some other offence, and he was then detained and remanded upon the present one. Oue of the detective police then took the case in hand, and in a few days traced the watch to the possession of Jewell, who at once said that he had bought it from a Jew dealer named Caramalli ' upon the day after the robbery. The constable thereupon took Caramelli into custody, and upon his being examined at the Themes Police, Caramelli denied having sold the watch to Je well, and brought up another witness, who swore that young Jewell had given a different account of his pos. I session of it, and the result was, that the magistrate dis missed Caramel, and sent Jewell and Clark for trial. Caramelli, who this day gave his evidence in • very unsatisfactory way, still adhered to the same story. Mr. Ballantine, fur the defence, called several witnesses, who proved that Caramelli had offered a similar watch to a medical gentleman for sale the day after the robbery, although he denied haying done so ; and that to one wit- I nese, who remarked, what a nice watch you have sold young ' Jewell, he said yes, but I sold it too cheap. Jewell had all along said flirt Caramelli sold it to him, and never made an concealment about it. It was proved that Jewell bore a very high character. The jury acquitted him and convicted Clark, who was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIRD COURT.-lESTERDAT. BLVD= RULALL ClatNLY,ll4l.,qc Charles Wingrore, a very respectable looking man, sur rendered to take his trial, for wilful and corrupt perjury, committed by him before tho Judge of the liskridge County Court, in an action to which he was defendant, and Thomas Dodd Grave the plaintiff. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Rebtan prosecuted, and Mr. Ser. jeant Thomas, with whom was Mr. Carter, were for the defence. Mr. Bodkin stated to the jury the following case, which was fully borne out by the evidence of the numerous wit nesses who appeared on the part of the prosecution. The prosecutor is a small farmer, living at Langley Marsh, Buckinghamshire, and the prisoner is also a farmer and butcher, carrying on business at Gerrard'e.cross, in the same county. It would appear that some quarrel had taken place between them, arising out of the purchase of • cow by prosecutor. On the 10th of June, the prosecutor was at the Bull, at Gerrard's-cross, and was slightly the worse for liquor, but not very bad. After leaving the Bull, he proceeded on the road io the direction of the prisoner's house, near to which stood a public-house called the French Horn. Upon passing the French Horn, between that and prisoner's house, he saw a cask lying in the road, belonging to a brewer whom he knew. This he picked up and took back to the French Horn, where he stayed for a few minutes and had a smell quantity of beer, and he then went on his road and had to pass the prisoner's house. No sooner had he got up to the wall surrounding the garden than the prisoner jumped over, struck him a most violent blow 03 the nose, which knocked him down, and broke the bridge of it. The prisoner said that he would do it again for hien. Prosecutor got up and managed to crawl back to the French Horn, where the wound was dressed. Prosecutor Gun went to the prisoner's shop to ask him why he did it, and prisoner was about to do some further vio lence when his wife interfhred, and prosecutor left, the pri soner threatening to serve him so again. Prosecutor then went to one of the county magistrates for a summons, but being somewhat the worse for liquor the magistrate told him to come again. He, however, did not do that, but brought an action in the county court, laying his damages at 101. The prisoner, as defendant, was examined, and swore most distinctly that the prosecutor, the then plaintiff, was quite drunk and had fallen down, and that he had sever struck him at all, and that he had seen him for two hours at the French Horn getting drunk. The prosecutor being unprepared with evidence, the judgment was given against him, and then be took these proceedings. The witnesses examined this day proved that they saw the blow given, and that the prisoner had boasted to seve ral persons of having done so, and said he would him so again ; and, further, that prosecutor was not very drunk, and thct he was but • short time at the French Horn. The valet said he would undertake, on behalf of his master, to satisfy the cabman. The cabman said, besides his fare of 45., he had lost, at least, five hours each day he attended the court. Mr. Hardwick awarded 10s. compensation for loss of time and expenses, and 4r. fare. The money was paid, MARYLEBONE. • • - - Michael 31..Vutly,;Wil5711Teiter of a prize fighter, was charged with the following robbery in an omnibul, and it will be seen from the subjoined evidence that ladies while riding in public vehicles should carefully avoid being seated next to a person carrying a cloak. Elia. Rawlings, residing at N 0.19, Iligh-street,Newington Butts, deposed that on the previous afternoon she got into a Chelsea omnibus in Regent-street to go to Islington. The prisoner was at the upper end of the vehicle on an opposite scat. After a short time he crossed over and sat next to her, and when he was about to alight she was spoken to by the conductor, when she found that her pursue, containing two half crowns and five shillings had been abstracted from her pocket. The purse and its contents were then lying at her feet. She was not aware until then that she had been robbed. - . John Gould, the conductor, stated that the prisoner must have forced his way into the omnibus unrecognised by him at a period when two ladies entered it in Oslord-strect. He placed himself at the farthest end of one of the seats 'ear Mort!mer-street. Witne‘a was hailed by the prosecu . trix, and she got in, taking her seat at the other 'side, at some distance from the prisoner. He (witneu) knew the accused to be a regular pickpocket, and spoke over the roof to the driver, saying " I've got a young rat in the trap—l mean to look after him, and shall be sure to catch him." He (prisoner) had with him a cloak, which he laid upon hie knees, and putting one of his hands under the garment, operated upon the pocket of a lady who was by his side. Shortly afterwards he saw the prisoner cross over and sr at himself by the proseentrix, and observed him engaged in working away with his hand at her dress. At Quickset row, New-road, a baker got on to the roof of the omnibus, and ' while witness was handing up his basket to him, prisoner said, " let me out." Witness opened the door, when pri soner held out coppers fer the payment of his fare ; and he (witness) then saw a purse in the other hand. He pre vented him from making his egress, and saw him drop the purse close to the prosecutriz, who immediately identi fied it as being her property. Witness then gave him into the custody of police-constable 258 S. The prisoner, when searched at the station, had a hand some silver watch with a gold guard in his possession. In answnr to the charge, the prisoner asserted his inno cence ; he knew nothing about the purse in question. Mr. Broughton remanded him till Wednesday next, and he directed Inspector Chambers to make inquiry as to whether there were say former convictions against him or not. For the defence it was attempted to be set up that the prisoner being in pursuit of a tame squirrel the prosecutor run erinst him, and being thrown down, got cut. This the medical gentleman who attended prosecutor clearly dis proved. The evidence was very lengthy, occupying the court until late in the evening, and although of a conflicting character, clearly brought the charge home to the prisoner, who was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The Courts sat until nearly 8 o'clock to finish the business left, and were then adjourned until Monday, Sept. 19. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF OVERCROWDING A STEAMBOAT. Mr. Jesse Lutes, master of the Meteor, Gravesend steam boat (Stu Company), appeared before Alderman Wire upon two informations, laid by the City Solicitor, under the direction of the Board of Trade. Mr. Stuchbury, of the City Solicitor's office, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Dobson, secretary to the Star Cons pany, attended for the defence. The first information charged the defendant with having, on the 7th of August, unlawfully received and had on board the said vessei a greater number of passengers than the num ber specified in the river certificate, issued in pursuance of the Steam Navigation Act, 1651, the certificate having limited the number to 688, whereas the number on board amounted to 706, being an excess of passengers of 18. The information stated that the sum forfeited amounted to 201., and that • further sum of ss. for every passenger over and above the 688 was likewise forfeited by the violation. The second information charged the defendant with having on the 19th of August received passengers on board the same Teasel without having • certificate applicable to the " excursion" she was making, ailed an Excursion River Certificate, or a true copy thereof in distinct legible characters on board, and put up in some conspicuous part of the vessel, the penalty for such offence being to an amount not exceeding 201. To the second charge the defendant pleaded guilty by the advice of Mr. Dobson, who stated what appeared not at all to be doubted, that he could satisfactorily show that the transgression of the law with respect to the excursion river certificate was an error unintentionally made, and subject ing the defendant to • mere nominal penalty. Mr. Dobson admitted the proper service of the summons, and that the I certificated number was 688. Mr. Stuehbury celled his witnesses at once, as the nature of charges of the kind was sufficiently known to the magis trate. William Newnham, inspector under the Steam Navigation Act 18.51, said—On the 7th of August I went on board the Meteor at the Terrace Pier, Gravesend. Several passengers were taken on board there, and also at Rosherville Pier. I proceeded in the vessel to North Woolwich, where 108 per sons passed out, and 5 returned. They landed from the after gangway. We (my brother inspector and Kilby and myself) went on to Blackwell, where I counted 327 persons landing from the fore-gangway. 1 afterwards compared with Kilby end the result was I found that the number who had been on board was 706, an excess of 18 over and above the legitimate number. We do not count children is arms or very little children. Mr. Dobson who stated that he questioned the correct ness of the writing of the inspectors, cross-examined the witness, who said in answer to several questions, " I stood on the paddle-box at North Woolwich, and only counted those who passed out and gave tickets. At Blackwell I stood at the side of the gangway in the vessel. The col lector was on the barge 3or 4 feet from me. I could see every person who went out. If children gave up tickets I counted them. I did not count the musicians or ourselves. Mr. Stuchbury—Did you find any difficulty whatever in counting Witneet—None at all. - - - - Arthur T. Kilby, inspector under the Steam Navigation Act, ISM, said I went on board the Meteor to Newnham. I counted 40 persons who came on board at Rosherville. At Blackwell I saw persons leave the ,•easel, and I counted teem front the after gangway. I counted 276. I counted the children who gave up tickets ; no other children. Cro-,•examined—l have been in the habit of watching steam vrvielv At the Terrace•pier we observed great care upon the part of the captain. The majority of the boats do eserci - e great caution. Mr. Dobson—Have you not said that the Star Company are remarkable for the care they take to prevent over crowding Wiliam Newnham—l have made the observation. Mr. Dobson raid he could prove that the two inspectors were m;•taken, and that the Teat' had not on board even the CM which +he was authoiised to carry. The hooks of the company, which could not do wrong, would show by the counterfoils that no more than 6sd bad been on board. Aldermen Wire said that books could not, in such a case, be evidence. Mr. Dobson then called William Bright, collector of the Meteor, who said—l took money on the 7th of August from 685 persons. I made up my books immediately alter the boat had landed her passenger at Blackwell. lam quite sure there were no season ticket passengers, and 1 do not think there were any free passengers. There were great numbers of children on board. Cross-examined—lf a party has small children, I don't charge for them. I did not count the passengers. I could not The only means I had of ascertaining was by the counterfoils of the tickets. We had four musicians, who do not pay. nod two waiters sad a fireman went on shore as well. They are considered as part of the crew. Aldermen Wire.—llad the captain or any of the crew friend. on board iiiness.Llia to my knowledge. To the best of my belief every one who wu chargeable bad paid. Mr. Dobeon inbraitte4 that the charge was by no means 7AIT VILE RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this highly prosperous company was held yesterday, in the Assembly-room of the White Lion Hotel, Bristol. The chair was taken by the deputy chairman, JAMES jun., Esq. The secretary (Mr. E. Kenway) read the report, which stated that " the balance of account allows your directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum on the stock of the company for the half year, payable on the 6th September next, with a dividend, in the same propvtion, on the preference stock No. 1, and on the amount called up on the 101, shares. They have also ap plied the usual half-yearly sum of 7:501. to the depreciation fund. Your directors alluded in their last report to the in juries which the line had sustained in consequence of the severe floods at the fall of last year. They are now happy to say that the line has been restored to its former condi• tion, though at some extra cost, as shown by the half-yearly accounts." From the audited account it appeared that the revenue for the half-year had been 73,703/. I9s. Bcl. as against 61,0231. 4s. 91 for the corresponding period of last year.

Yesterday John IV7ll;;;tiopk7nr and Richard Dyke, privates in the lit battalion of the Queen's Company of the Grenadier Guards, stationed at the Wellington Barracks, were charged with picking the pocket of the complainant, and stealing some papers, his property, in Victoria street. Mr. Simonds, inspector of the B division, said that the complainant had also lost a pair of kid gloves and his neck handkerchief. Policeman Hudson, 80 B, said that between 1 and 2 o'clock that morcing he was in plain clothes, going into Victoria-street, when he saw the complainant pass out of Tothill-street into the Broad Sanctuary. He was the worse for liquor. Hopkins was walking on the left side of the complainant, and had his left hand actor his shoulders. The other prisoner had hold of the complainant by his right arm on the other side. The complainant tried to get sway from them, but they forced him toward the West minster Hospital. The prisoners were sober. The com plainant succeeded in releasing himself from them, and went to the corner of Tothill-street. The prisoners were then joined by two females. After being in conversation with them about three minutes, they followed the complainant, when, with the assistance of Dyke, they took him into Victoria-street. Witness, who was close behind them, then observed Hop kins put his right hand into the left-hand cost pocket of the complainant. He passed something under his coat, and received it in his left hand. He put what he had taken into his own coat pocket. Hopkins next said to cam plainant, " we must try if we can't get something to drink." Witness followed them, when, as they were bidding the complainant "good night," witness spoke to them. He told them that he was a police constable, and that he should take them into custody on the charge of picking the pocket of the complainant. Hopkins remarked," Did you see me pick his pocket ?" Witness replied that ho did, and stated to him that what he had taken was in his left-hand coat pocket. Assistance came up. They were taken to the station-house. Two papers were found in the pocket of Hopkins, which were identified by the com plainant, who stated that he had also lost a neck-handker chief and a pair of kid gloves. (The witness produced the papers, and also a pair of false locks found on Hopkins.) Mr. John Greed, Pitsburgb, Pennsylvania, U.S., said that his father was a merchant in that town. On the pre vious night he met the prisoners a few minutes before 12 o'clock. He could not say where, as he was a stranger in Westminster. He had been drinking, anal was not aware he had been robbed till he was spoken to by the o ffi cer. Mr. Taylor (Clerk to the Magistrate ) — The prisoner was charged with having assaulted you. Complainant.—Yes. Hopkins gave me a violent blow in the right eye. (The complainant's right eye was blood shot and much swollen ) Hudson said, that at the station-house Hopkins admitted he had struck the complainant. The complainant, in answer to the magistrate, stated that one of the papers was a French Railway Guide, which he received while travelling in France, and which directed a traveller what were the proper stations to go to in passing from town to town. The prisoners were remanded. SEGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the produce of l the British possessions in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 16th August, 16.53, is 245. 30. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 255. 1:d. Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 295. 19jd. The enrage price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar, jointly, is 255. 20. BRISTOL, AUGVST 19. SVGAR.—We have had rather a quiet market this week, and the transactions since our last are unimportant. This is chiefly owing to the poor supply of sugars on the spot, and the limited number of floating cargoes offering, as the demand continues good, and full prices could have been readily obtained, if there had been a larger amrtment at market. Refiners' produce is still in brisk demand at very extreme prices. Rum is wanted, but importers do not seem disposed to sell at present. METALS.—Mr. Monte's circular states that in rails a large business is doing. Welch bar iron : Some large purchases have been made on American account. Scotch pigs have fluctuate.' from 70s. to 675., at which there are sellers. Staffordshire pig iron: Some extensive sales have been made at improved rates. Spelter is without movement at 211. 7s. 6d. to arrive, October shipment, 221. ; the price in Hamburg is equal to 231. here, with a small stock. Swedish iron and steel : A moderate business doing. Copper is firm. Banat tin : The Dutch East India Com pony's sale of 112,000 slabs came off at Amsterdam on the 17th inst., the prices averaged 72 florins, equal to 125/. per tm delivered in the Thames. Tin plates are more inquired after COTTON.—Ltraspoot, AUGUST 19.—There is but very little change in the price of cotton daring the week. Occa. 'banally we have had a dull day, with limited demand, when the low qualities have appeared heavy and depressed. But upon the whole, although we have passed a quiet time, holders have not given way in confidence, nor can we make any actual seduction in the Neale of our quotations. The great weight of inferior quality mop perhaps have given a turn of advantage to the buyer in those descriptions. This would include not only inferior American but Surats also. Brazils and Egyptians are steady, and without change. Russian-Turkish politics, the harvest, the rate of interest for money at the Bank of England, and the probable ex tent of the American crop of cotton, have all had their due consideration, both bybuyers and sellers, and are daily ex ercising an influence upon our markets. Nor do we lose sight of that important question and its bearings on the consumption, which is now being agitated between the master manufacturers and their workpeople, namely, the demand for higher wages. The committee of brokers place fair Uplands at 61d., Mobile 6:d., and Orleans at 7 d., being the same as last week. 3,000 American, 640 Surat, and 140 Egyptian are reported to have been taken on specula• Lion; and 3,820 American, 1,410 Surat, 30 Bengal, GO Bahia, and 470 Pernam for export. Sales for the week, 31,900 bales WOOL—LTEIVI, AUGUST 10.—In English wools a good business has been done, and lut week's prices are firmly maintained. Foreign wools have also been disposed of in largo quantities, the tendency of prices being upward, though no material alteration cm be quoted. The woollen trade in this district is at present so good that all kinds of wool are in full demand. CORN.—Citnimsrohn, Aug. 19,—There was by no means a large supply of Wheat to-day at market, and although the day was fine, the demand for Wheat was brisk at an advanr? of 2s. to 3s. per qr. above last week's rates, and the market closed firmly ; the yield of the new Wheat is much complained of; the quality will be good. Wheat, red, 455. to 50s. ; white, 555. to Os. LINCOLN, Aug. 19.—We bad a small show of Wheat to day, our farmers arc busy with the harvest. Wheat was offered at last week's prices, but owing to the fine weather, our millers acted very cautiously, and what sales took place was at about Is. decline. Wheat, red, 19s. to 31s. ; white, o2s. to Os. LIVERPOOL, AUGI:81 19.—Several of the British mar ket, this week Are again reported lower for Wheat and Oats ; in others, seeing no valid reason to follow the extra ordinary downward movement in London on Monday last, have assumed rather more firmness, and refuse to sell under previous quotations. In many parts of Ireland the mar kets arc said tto lie so muck over supplied with Potatoes sa tc check any improvement in other articles of food tor the moment. At the same time we de do not learn that the disease is generally so virulent there as of late years, or so I serious as it is reported in the Southern Counties of Eng land ; and in Scotland, hitherto, complaints on this point are much less frequent, nor is the blight in this neighbourhood, although partially existing, of an alarming character. On Tuesday evening we had a change to rain, which, in the course of the night continued to fall heavily, and they prevailed in several other parts of the kingdom, but the weather having cleared up and continued exceedingly fine since, harvest in this district is now progressing favourably : very extensive operations,notwithstandiag, have taken place here during the last two days, chie fl y in Wheat and Flour, the former at very full prices, and the latter at 6d. per brl. advance over Tuesday's currencies; a number of cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn afloat also found buyers. This morning the trade does not continue so active, still we have a good consumptive demand for Wheats generally, at the extreme rates of our last market day, which, in some instances, were slightly exceeded ; holders were very firm, or more business might have been done. Flour in fair demand, but not so brisk as the two preceeding days, the above improvement being, however, maintained. Barley very scarce, none but low qualities offering. Malt and Beans unaltered in value er demand. Oats are dull, and the few panels at hand of new Irish are ld. per bushel cheaper. Oatmeal almost without inquiry to-day ; the ex treme value of new, 275. to 28s. per load. Indian Corn on the spot neglected, but several further transactions in car goes are reported. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from August 16th to August ISth, inclusive: Wheat, 7,213 qrs. ; Barley, 10 ; Malt, 36; Oats, 2,001; Pcas, 2.5; Indian Corn, 6.913 ; Oatmeal, 170 sacks ; Flour, 4,394 sacks, and 26.877 barrels. WAKEFIELD, Aug. 19.—We had some rain on Tuesday night, since which it has been fine, though by no means, brilliant weather for the harvest, which is now general in the Southern counties, but in Yorkshire it will not com mence until Monday, and then only in the early districts. The trade has recovered from the depression of the past ten days—Liverpool exhibits great firmness, and the panic which has existed in Mark Lane appears to have subsided. To-dny cur market is well attended, and a good sale for all fresh parcels of Wheat—with a small show of samples—at an advance of 2s. per p. from last week, inferior goes off more freely at an improvement of Is. per v. Barley nominal. Oats and Shelling steady. Beans sell slowly, but there is not quantity to have any material effect upon prices. Other articles as before. Imports during the week :—Wheat, 11,35 d qrs. ; Barley, 305 ; Oats, 523 ; Beans, 771. 6AILiD.
