The August session of the above court was opened this maritime by the Right lion. th e L or d M ayor, t h e Ri ght lion. the Ref...inter, Aldermen Moon. Sydney, Sir It. W. Carrion, and Wile, the sheriffs undersherifts, and the usual city authorities. It appears by the first edition of the calendar that there are at present 10i prisoners for trial at this session. The Rec.irder, in his charge to the grand jury, said he was happy to inform them that none of thecae,' in the caten ate appeared to present any difficulties in point of law, and be only considered it necessary to call their attention to one or two of them. The first ease w • • charge against two perso-is named Tripe and Montague, of obtaining money by false pretences, and the charge became of some importance bscause it was conuected with the system of emigration, and involved the interests of the thousands of persons who were flocking to London for the purpoe of emigrating. Ile was not aware of the precise form in which the ease wad.' come before them ; but he apprehended it would comprise a charge against these persons of having conspired together for the pur pose of obtaining money by false pretences. The lake pretences imputed to the defendants would appear to be that they had held out to the public representations that • company had been formed for the purpose of assist ing poor persons to emigrate, and that vessels had bees ' chartered for that purpose, aid that spa the represents lions they o 'Mined mosey haendiferest parties, for which they never accounted. and it being suggested that the presentations they had made with regard to the com pany and to the chartering of the used' were false and solely used for the purpose of obtaining the money from the parties who were deceived by them. The penises who were defrauded were of a very poor and helpless clam, and it was therefore absolutely necessary that the law should step in and protect them from frauds of this description. It wee his duty to inform them that • mere false statement ! would not support a charge of obtaining money by false pretences, but it was absolutely necessary there should be a false representation of some existing fact which, in fact, did not exist; but if the grand jury should be satisfied that then) parties had represented that a company existed for the purpose specified, and that vessels had been chartered, with the object of fraud, and that no such com pany in reality did exist, it appeared to him that that would beguile sufficient to support the charge, and the grand jury would be justified in returning a time bill. The grand jury then retired, and the court proceeded to dispose of the haunts. of the session. IRELAND. DCBLIII. AVOIIIIT 14. A preliminary meeting of the friends of the Rev. Dr. Newman was held yesterday, for the purpose of taking seeps to raise 1121 indemnity subscription to cover the expenses of the late trial of "Achilli v. Newman." Archbishop Cullen presided, and among those present were three other Roman catholic pre lates, lettcrs of apology from some six or seven others having been read by the secretary. Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, M.P., Mr. C. (3. Duff', Mr. Lucas, M.P., Mr. Grogan, M.P., and some other rich members took part in the proceedings, and a committee was appointed to carry out the object of the meeting, the subscriptions to be raised to be styled " Ireland's quota of the Newman Indemnity Fund." Subsequently to the dissolution of the meeting, a letter was received in Dublin from a pro fessional gentleman in London, iu which he stated that the costs of the trial would far exceed t 4,0001. lie believed that 10,0001. would be nearer the real amount. The Gazette of last night contains the official an nouncement that the Queen has been pleased to appoint, by warrant under her Royal Sign Manual, Edward Senior. Esq., to be a Commissioner for ad ministering the laws for the relief of the poor in Ireland, in the place of John Ball, Esq., resigned. The mayor and town council of Belfast have availed themselves of the opportunity of a proposed ♦ico.regal visit to Belfast, during the sittings of the British Association there, to invite Lord Eglinton to a civic entertainment. The invitation has been so- oepted by his Excellency. The weather is still unsettled, with frequent and exceedingly heavy showers, a sky for the greater part of the day overcast, a very little ripening sun shine, yet still the accounts of injury to the crops are not many, nor very alarming. It is true that more or less damage must be inflicted upon at least the heavy grain crops; and, on the whole, it could not be said that the harvest prospects are at all satisfac tory ; but from one cause or another the hopes of the people have decidedly rallied. A marked proof of improved confidence might be observed to-day in the Dublin money market, in which the prices of all kinds of stocks and shares advanced from to per cent., and a most pleasing change from the gloom and despondency of the last six or eight days was exhibited. I subjoin from the provincial papers re ceived to-day the latest particulars about the potato blight (which has evidently assumed a milder form) and the general prospects of the harvest. The Northern 1114 in its weekly summary says: The alarm which, by oar reports of this day week, ap peared to pervade nearly every district of the province regarding the potato crop, would seem, by those of this morning, to have subsided considerably. It is, we admit. hazardous to speculate on the probable progress of a disease so mysterious es that by which this esculent has been attacked, year after year; but, as if the blight had now assumed a milder type, it certainly has not advanced during the week, nor has it, we are informed, in most instances extended beyond the stalks, from beneath which, although spotted, fine sound tubers are still being taken. Cereals of all kinds look well, and are either at, or rapidly approach ing maturity. The oat crop is particularly fine, and pro mises to he - above an average. We cannot yet speak with certainty relative to the yield of new Sax : what has been brought to market was prepared hurriedly, and does not afford a fair sample, but the general .mpreseion is, that the crop will be ezcellest, both as regards yield and quality. Complaints we have received of its pulling light in some localities, but thew we regard as merely isolated cases. The Newry TekgrapA enters more into details. That journal says: The potato stalks and leaves are partially discoloured, but symptoms of blight or disease decrease as you advance towards Dungannon, and we shield say that the crop in the neighbourhood of that tows is less affected than iu the vicinity of Armagh. Ws observe no harvest operations of say description along the road from Armagh to Dungannon, eze pt hey-making, and this only in • few instances. Some superior fields of barley and oats have been reaped in the county Armagh. The yield is considered an average, and the quality is unexceptionable. Several farmers, in the apprehension of the spread of the disease, are digging out potatoes before they have attained to full growth, and send us them for sale at market. It is feared that the wheat will, on the whole, turn out a deficient trop, though there are many fields which have escaped visitation from insects or blight. Both turnips and marigolds promise w-11, and even as regards the potato, the disease does not seem to be much on the increase. There are some species of the root, or some "sort," an they are popu'arly called, which are altogether uninfected. The worst feature in the ease is, that the most of the potatoes for sale in market are more Of less tainted—Out this again may arise from the digging out cf the injured portions of the crop in particular. The Leinater F-rpress, which is well informed in the agricultural affairs of the midland counties, says : The blight seems to have subsided very much within the last six or eight days, end as far as we an judge, the blight has, generally speaking, come to a stand still. Many fields, we understand, have been recently dug in the Queen's, King's Counties, Kildare, and the neighbouring district. To the eye, beforehand, they present a uniform dark look in the stalks and leave., giving forth the usual disagreeable odour; on brine brought to light, however, no more than from six to ten per cent. of the tubers exhibited symptoms of disease. We have heard a few complaints of worms and mildew in the wheat, but such caws are pure exceptional. Oats and barley will give excellent yields. Turnips, marigolds, sk well. A large area of the sugar beet has been sown In the Queen's County, but not as much as will answer all the demands of the company's manufactory at Mountmelliek, which has of late hail the addition of some experienced su perintendent■ from the oostinent. THE ELECTRIC TELEORAPIL—The arrangements for extending the electric telegraph to Heveet Castle, in Hampshire, are in progress, in order to communicate the arrival of the American, Alexandrian. West Indian, Bra titian, and Peninsular mail packets off the Needles rocks in the Isle of Wight, by which the approach of the packets to Houthampton will be known in that town two hours before their actual arrival.

Corsets at the close were quoted 99k to 1, both for money and the ac count of 13th beptember--• quotation which repre 'sent, the full advance of yesterday, but the bulk of the business was transacted at higher rates, the price at one time reaching 99k. In other stocks the rally is also progreminz, and the railway market has ex hibited-a decidedly improved tendency. The grand point to which the attention of holders and specu lators in stocks and shares is now directed is the state of the crops, as there can be no doubt that the chief influence affecting prices will come from this quarter. Now that the feeling of alarm as regards the difficulty with America has been allayed, a strong impression pre vails that undue importance has been attached to it, mainly owing to the frothy "leaders" that have been paraded in the columns of some of the United States journals, which never miss an opportunity of flinging a stone at Britain, and the bombast of which, though seen through at their side of the water, has led to the adoption of a similar inimical tone on the part of a section of the press here, which has thus assisted in increasing the general uneasiness. The question, in fact, has [rhea rise to a "newspaper war," and now that the first feelings of excitement have passed off; the simple character of the misunderstanding is more plainly perceived. It is known in the best-informed circles that there has not been the slightest disruption of the friekidly relations previously existing between the governments and representatives of both the United States and Great Britain. The communications on both sides have not merely been conducted in an amicable spirit, but eao greatest desire has been shown to pre vent the affair from assuming the magnified propor tions to which, so far as regards the amount of dis cussion bestowed upon it, it has unfortunately at tained. We have even heard it stated, as a proof of the entire absence of any angry feeling at Washing ton, notwithstanding the disquieting accounts of the fitting out of naval armaments at the other side, that no despatches whatever upon the subject have been forwarded to the embassy here. Alto gether' it would appear that the stern interpretation of the Fishery Convention so abruptly decided upon by our government, has met with a quieter reception at Washington than could have been expected—a circumstance, however, which does not in any way exonerate the Tory cabinet from the charge of rashly wounding the susceptibilities of • nation of vast power, and engaged in the closest commercial rela tions with Great Britain. At the same time we hear strong indignation expressed in well-informed liZrivast= at the ormalumasslii• sad *yea rr i seguage of Mr. Secretary Webster in his speech at Marshfield. The official record of business in the home funds embrace the following stocks, via —Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991 1, I. I ; ditto, for co count, 991, 1,1, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 100, 991, 1001. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 103, 1, 1021, 1031. Long Annuities, 1860, 81. India Stock, 277. Bank Stock, 224, 228. Exchequer Bills are nominally unchanged, the only operation being a sale of the March issue at 745. prem. India Bonds mark 87s. to 90a. prem. In the foreign market there were scarcely half a dozen transactions. The arrangement of the account has commenced, but it engages hardly any atten tion, compared with the heavy settling in the share market. The various bond. are gene rally firm, especially Peruvian and Mexican. We perceive it stated in the Mexican accounts re ceived via New York that the embargo on the com mercial houses at Vera Cruz which had at first re fused to submit to the tariff regulations of that port, in view of the fact that a different scale is in force at Nlatamoras, had cased by order of the general government, and the bonds which these houses had entered into for the payment of the duties were dis counted in the capital at 5 per cent. The sales are limited to :—Brazilian Old Five per 'Cents. (Small Bonds), 1021. I)utch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641, 631; ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 981. Peru vian Deferred Three per Cents., 691. Sardinian Five per Cents., 95. We learn from the Hague, in confirmation of the announcement made by us some time ago, that a bill for the reduction of the four per cent. debt of Hol land will be presented to the States General at the commencement of the new session, which will be opened on the third Monday in September. The Four per Cents. will be converted into Three-and-a Half per Cents., dissentients having the option ot being paid off, and the law will come into effect on ' the Ist of January, 1853. It will be recollected that a law of the 25th of June, 1844, provides that the Four per Cent. inscriptions shall not be liable to be paid off before the 31st December, 1852. It will be seen that this measure, which has been several times mooted, is of considerable importance, es the amount of Dutch Four per Cent. inscriptiones 237,409,500 florins, or 19,800,0001., the annual interest of which amounts to 9,496,380 florins, or 791,0001. The saving that will be effected by the reduction is about 100,0001. per annum. It appears that the financial position of the Spanish government will experience same improvement, in consequence of the measure recently adopted, by which the young men who are drawn by lot for the military service are exempted on payment of a fixed sum to the state. It is stated that the measure has been very well received, and that 51,000,000 rails, or 520,0001. sterling have already been paid into tho Bank of St. Ferdinand on this account, It is expected that the government will be enabled to effect a material reduction of the floating debt. Wednesday next, the 18th instant, has been appointed special settling day in the Stock Ex change for Cork and Bandon eighth preference shares. The money market is not so easy as it was, and rates of discount may be said to rule about a quarter per cent. higher. For money on call I I per cent. can now be readily obtained. At this penod of the year any unfavourable rumours relative to the har vest have a sensible effect upon the money market, the demands upon which for the prosecution of agri cultural labours, and our internal and foreign trade, have this week increased. Next week it is probable the demand for accommodation in the stock exchange will be considerable, in connexion with the settle ment of accounts. According to the recent railway directors' statements, the dividend on London and South Western stock for the half year will be at the rate of 31 percent. per annum; the Maryport and Otrliale, 3 per cent. for the year ; the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 2/.16a. per cent. per annum ; and the York and North Midland, IL per cent. per annum. The imports of specie and bullion this week in clude 87,0001. worth of gold by the Tamar from Sydney; 26,0004 by the Tasmania from Portland Bay ; 6.649 or. by the Agricola from Sydney ; 2,000 or. by the T. J. and T. Crisp from Launceston ; 323,230 &Is, by the Asia from Now York; 2264 by the Severn from the Brazils; 630!. in gold duet by the Propontis from the Cape and Sierra Leone ; and 2,1351. by the Iberia from Gibraltar, Lisbon, and Oporto; the Humboldt also brought over 450,010 dole. from New York, but this amount was for 'Jerre. The total value of the supplies to this market may thici be stated at rather more than 190,0001. sterling, being much less than the previous imports. The exports of the precious petals direct from London during the week ending Thursday last com prise a total of 136,194 ounces of silver, and 1,0001 ounces and 12,7001. in gold, of the aggregate value of about 43,0001. The account in detail is as follows: —Silver coin : to Calcutta, 32,000 ounces; to Ham burg, 8,935 ounces • to Belgium, 60,000 ounces. Silver bare: to Mara', 10,000 ounces; to Calcutta, 11,278 ounces; to Hamburg, 13,961 ounces. Gold coin : to Hamburg, 1,000 ounces; to Calcutta, 12,7001. The only other shipment of coin that has been re ported to us is a sum of about 10,0001. by the Balla rat for Port Phillip, by which the total shipments from the kingdom are raised to 63,0001, Although the specie movement this week is by no means so important as of late, it appears by our returns that lift =the following analysis of the railway traffic returns for the last week on all the lines in the kingdom : Aggregate amount No. of Average receipt received. miles apes. per mile. 1852.... £340,800 6,792 £6O 3 0 1851.... 367,753 6,438 65 6 0 1860.... 296,467 5,907 50 3 0 Tho Railway Times estimates the gross receipts for the whole kingdom, since the Ist July, as follows : Groan amount No. of Average receipt received. miles open. per mile. 1862 .... £1,837.644 6,639 £276 9 1 1851.... 1,964,668 6,316 311 2 0 1860.... 1,606,416 6,708 281 6 0 THIS DAY.

THE CAPE MAIL STEAMER LADY JOCELYN, in consequence of the bad weather which has prevailed dur ing the last few days, did not arrive from London, at Ply mouth, until Saturday morning. This very fine vessel is in respect to sine a sister ship to the Queer‘of the North, but is so improvement upon that vessel in respect to accom modation and beauty of fitment. She is commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Stewart, and takes out about 70 passengers and a general cargo. She also takes mails for St. Vincent, Sierra Leone, the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere, sad on arriving at the Cape proceeds to Calcutta. She will re turn early in January, 1853, being due at Plymouth on the 3rd of that month. Amongst the persons who came round to Plymouth iu the Lady Jocelyn wan M. Zorhab, the Turkish Consul General, who is also a director in the General Screw Shipping Company, to which the Lady Jocelyn belongs. M. Zorhab, in the COlllllO of Saturday, visited the feu at Mount Edgcumbe, and on his disembark ing at Mtlibay pier, he was honoured with a salute of 13 guns tram the Grand Turk, the yacht of Thomas NV. Fox, Esq., Junr., of the firm of Fox, Sons, and Co., Turkish Consuls at Plymouth. TUB DISPUTE WITH AMERICA.—A meeting of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce was held on Saturday, for the purpose of considering the present state of our relations with the United States. Sir Geo. Goodman, M.P., pre sided, and atter a good deal of conversation it was deter mined to adjourn the meeting to Thursday next, many of those present wishing for further information before taking action in the matter. AN INCIPIENT PRETENDER.—A letter from Neu bath states that the infant daughter of Don Miguel was baptised at the chateau of that name, on the morning of the 9th, by the Bishop of Wurtsburg, in presence of her father, the members of the family, and several Portuguese roble men. The names given to the child are Mans Isabella Entails Carlotta do Brawn Bourbon. BIRMINGHAM AND OxPost) AND DUDLEY AND WOLVRRH•MPTON RAILWAYS.—The half-yearly meetings of these two companies war held at Birmingham on Satur day; both lines being sold to the Oreat Western the meet ings were pro forma only, for although the shareholders are convened they have not even the right to ask a question. Two shareholders only, including the chairman, Mr. F. P. Barlow, were present, and the routine business of pasting the accounts, &c., occupied about two minutes. The con tractors are making great exertions to prepare the Oxford line for opening by the Ist of September, but so much re mains to be done that it appears doubtful whether they will accomplish it. THE MANCHESTER FREE LIBRARY, which has been established at a cost of upwards of 12,0001., raised by public subscription, is to be opened on the 2nd September. Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Charles Dickens, Sir E. Buiwer Litton, and oth, r eminent men, are to be present. THE OLDHAM ELECTION.—A third candidate is said to have presented himself in the person of Mr. William Cohbett, brother to the present member, and the gentleman whose name has been so much before the public during the last few years in connexion with the Queen's Bench prison. Mr. Cohbett's address has on , y been distributed privaely. SHOCKINO OCCURRENCE.—On Tuesday morning Mr. J. Bromley, farmer, Beaumanor, Leicestenhire, on getting up, missed his wife and youngest child, an infant of four months old, and on making a *earth about the neigh bourhood discovered her slippers on the margin of one of Mr. Herrick's fish ponds. Phis awakening his suspicions, he sent to Mr. Humphrey, the steward, to ask him to have the pond drawn off, and on this being done the unfortunate woman and child were found close by, having apparently been in the water five or six hours. An inquest was held on the bodice on the following day, when it appeared that deceased was forty-five years of age and the mother of eight children now living. For some time past she had been occasionally low and depressed in her spirits ' and was considered by Mr. Cooper, who had attended her about Fsbraary, 1861, as peculiarly liable to monomania, under anything likely to depress the vital powers, particularly in suckling. Verdict, "That deceased destroyed herself and her infant when labouring under a temporary fit of mental insanity."— Leierafor Mercury. THE CnoLam.—Two hundred and forty persons died of choler. at Warsaw on the 6th and 7th instant. The viceroy of Russian Poland has given to the committee of a charitable society 600 lbs. of tea for distribution to the poor. (THREEPENCE.

FALL OF A HOUSE. —Yesterday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the inhabitants of Church-street, Bethnal ; green, were greatly alarmed by the fall of a large building, No. 101 in that thoroughfare, used as a storehouse by Mr. Clements, a corn chandler. Happily no personal injury at tended the occurrence, which is attributed to the weakened state of the structure consequent upon some recent alters tins. -----• I)EPARTURE OF THE ASIA.—The Cunard royal mail steamer Asia, Captain Lott, left Liverpool on Saturday morning at half-past ten o'clock, with mails for the United Staten, Canada, Newfoundland, California, &c.

NEw FRENCH WAR STEAMF.R.—A telegraphic despatch from Toulon announces to the French Admiralty that the steam line-of-battle ship the Napoleon had, by aid of her engines alone, gone 111 and 12 knots an hour. The apparatus consists of four flied cylinders; the movement is communicated to the screw by cog wheels, and is capable of developing a force of 1,200 bone power. The Itloniteur says that the Napoleon is the most powerful vessel at pre sent afloat on the seas; it carries 90 guns, two months' provisions, and one month's water, for its crew of 900 men, and its stock of fuel exceeds 1,000 tons. It will be able to go, it is said, about 1,000 leagues in ten days and a half. " With such speed, and so strongly armed, the Napoleon," the Shalimar adds, " would offer, in ease of war the certain means of maintaining the communications of France with her colony in northern Africa." SINGULAR AND FATAL. ACCIDENT.—One day ladt week as a farmer and his wife, who resided near Csllington, Cornwall, were returning from market in a cart, the horse without any apparOnt cause, at a certain point of the road, ran backwards and upset the cart, and itself falling upon its back. On a neighbour coming by he found the man and hie wife under the cart and the horse on its hack, and on ' lifting the cart it was found that the woman was dead. The man was extricated, having exhrtsted his strength in his efforts to get from under the cart. BLIGHT AMONG GRAPES.—The Society of Phu. mac yof the Sardinian States has o ff ered a prize of 603 f. for the best essay on the following question: " To point out such menus as, by indubitable proofs of practical applica tion on a large *ere, may be shoan to be effi cac i ous i n pre serving grapes front the blight which is now prevalent, or in stopping its progress." The essays must be written either i n Italia n or French. They mast be still unpublished, and sent in before the end of January, 1864, to the Secretary- General of the Society of Pharmacy at Turin. Every sway is to bear a motto, to be repeated on the cover of a sealed note containing the name of tne author. The prize is to be awarded in December, 1864.
