(Before Mr. Indies Bytes.) THE Ca= OF HEEL ENOLZHEART. Mr. Sleigh this morning applied to the court to postpone passing soutanes upon Mn. Bag hiked, who was tried yesterday for manslaughter, sad who was aoquitted of that offence, but convicted of a common assauh, until a future session. The ground of the application wea that the pri soner was in the family-way, and that her acoou c hm ase t was imminent, and that, for the sake of the future off/main of the primmer—to whom it might be a source of misery all its life that it should have been born in a gad—and also having reference to the pieseat condition of the primmer, it was advisable that the sentence should be postponed, and that the prisoner should not be called op for judgment notil after her confinement, and that, in the meantime, she should be admitted to ban. Mr. Justice Ryles said he had coaaidered all the matters mentioned by the learned counsel, and he had consulted the offioar of the court, and bad ascertained that there was a preoedent for such a course as that which was suggested. BS would, however, further consider the matter. Gawp( James Langley, omnibus conductor, surrendered to take his trial upon a cliarge of manslaughter. Mr. Metcalf conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner. The prisoner, it appeared, was the driver of • private omnibus belonging to a person named Edwards, and the deceased man, Thomas Fox, was the conductor et one of the omnibuses belo ng i ng t o the General Omnibus Ooempasy, and both vehicle. ran from Bayswater to the City. Oa the day on which the unfortunate deceased met with his death the company's omnibus started from the Marble Arch about two minutes before the prisoner. They both, however, arrived at Furnivars-inn about the same time, the pirisooer's omnibus being slightly in the rear of the one which deceased WY on. The company's omnibus pulled up at about that spot for the purpose of taking up a passenger, amid the deceased got off the board, sad the prisons?. horses knocked him down, the wheels of the omnibus passing over his heed, which caused instantaneous death. It appeared from the evidences of the witnesses that the prisoner was driving at the rate of eight or nine miles an hour, which, it wee urged on the part of the prosecution, was faster th an he ought to have driven along such a roa d ; and it was further urged that the prisoner was again in fault in endeavouring to par the deceamed's omnibus on the near s id e , instead of paring on the off side or pulling up his bones. The cam for the defence was that the nefortnnate de ceased bad brought the misfortune entirely upon himself by his own negligence In running before the hones of the pri soner's omnibus, and the endears given even by the wit nesses for the prosecution tended to • certain extent to establish this feet. The jury stopped the ease, and said they thought the oceurrescis was entirely wieidentel. The lea judge said he was deliberating whether he ought riot ha ve , himself, stopped the cam, bat he thocight it batter to leave it to the jury. A verdict of Not Grid, was thee taken. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH. STRFZT. t i t t urrou TO CA BYRN. For a long time great ooloplainte bare been made of the number of cabmen loitering and causing Mt obarostio• in Coventry-greet, Ite., and several of the offenders have been summoned to this court by the police. At first Mr. Knox fined the defendants 3s. and 21, ooeta, bat u the number of defendants aummooed rather increased than diminished, Mr. Kam raised the fine to be. and costa. The increased bee' falling to check the nuisance Mr. Knox imposed s fined 1 sad eorts, and now the worthy magistrate has impressed hie hstecnon, chiding that things are going an just the saws, to fine all defeodants 20a. and costs. This will be a great boon to the bored sod well-conducted eabmae, who is prevented getting off the stand on which he has pet for home sometimes, owing to tie other cabmen who go creeping about picking up all the lona. THE DANGEBB OP CHILDREN BOATING ON INEiWf,ET I.NQUEHT.—(TII.II3 DAY.) To-day, at noon, Mr. H. Raffles Waltbew, deputy CC(ooet, held an inquiry at the SpottmlLt:i i r is erli cinni. HiLit. street, Poplar, respecting the death of 10'yeue, who was drowned in • boating extuusion — = UM following circumstances. George Collings, 10. Clarenesetreet, Rotherhithe, said that deceased got a halfpenny, and want eat to play au Handily week at 1 o'clock. At half.past 4 some litde boys came with the news that he wee drowned. William Smith, 13, Claramos.street, a little boy, appa rently not more than 10 years of age, said that on the day in question, deceased, himself, two other boys, and twee's little sister, took a bort at Hungerford slake to row down to Limehouse.reach, tore the Baron Oily, which was sunk. AU the others in the boat were younger thea witoms, who was captain of the boat. Whoa they had got half way they wanted some beer, sad witness tied the boat to • barge end deceased west on shore to the King and Queen. There were SO barges tied together, and they extended into the middle of the stream. When deceased was amnia* back with the ginger. beer bottles he was laughing and withal wee afraid be would be drowned, and called'ont to him. His toe struck against a ringbolt and he fall on his knees and thee went head downwards into the water. He meld net be got up again, and his body was found only on Monday bat. Is answer to the Coroner, witness said *IS they hod three sculls between them, sod that one of them was old and broken. The boat had been lent to his father, sad wit ness played about in rt. The Coroner said it was extraordinary that children so young should be allowed to row up and down the river in boats amongst steamers and essay other craft. The practice was indulged in to a very great extent, and parents seemed not to mind it mail their children were drowned. A juror asked whether the Thames police hail not the pews, to stop the system. Three iequeste had recently been held in the same place on boys, all of whom were under 14 years, and who had lost their live* in a similar way. Childree would not be allowed to drive carts is the streets, which would be lees dangerous. The Closer mid that some steps craght to be taken. In the present case it was wonderful that the littiegin aad all the boys had 'erased drowning, Ths inry returned a verdict of " Accidental death by drowning," and expressed their strong censure of the prae- I tine of children of tender years being allowed to go in boats unaccompanied on the river.

Two o'Ouvx. Business in the stock markets to-day has decidedly slackened, and the alteration in prices is not of much importance. The funds and home railway stocks exhibit no change. The principal feature is a decline of per cent, in two of the leading speculative foreign stocks —namely Mexican and Greek. The absence of any further fluctuation on the Paris bourse contributes to induce a more set tled feeling here. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates were quoted 67fr. 80c., showing no change. Consols are now quoted 94 to j for money, and to for the account (Oct. 8). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 94, ; ditto, for account, 94 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91k, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 911, 92 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 108 f, 1 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1001 ; ditto Bonds, 17a., 208. prem. ; Bank Stock, for account, 240, and Exchequer Bills, par, 3e. prem. The foreign stock market is much quieter, and the transactions to-day have been upon only a moderate Bade. Greek and Mexican Bonds bare fallen * per cent., and Spanish Passive 4. Spanish Certi ficates are also flat, while Italian stock is rather firmer. Some of the present quotations are an nexed :—Turkish, 1854 Loan, 95 to 96; ditto, 1858, 70} to ; ditto, 1862, 711 to i ; the Con- Bolide*, 54} to * ; Greek, 371 to ; Mexican, 464 to 1 ; and Spanish Passive, 36 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Dutch Certificates, 1031; Egyptian, 102, ex div. ; ditto, second issue, 1011, ex div. ; Greek, for account, 38, 1, 371; ditto Coupons, for account, 184, 18 ; Italian, for account, 72/ ; Mexican, 463 ; ditto for account, 47, 46k, 3 ; New Granada, 17j, 17, ; ditto, Deferred, 101; Portuguese, 1856, 1857, 1859, 1860, and 1862, for amount, 494, ; Russian, 1850, 903 ; ditto, 1862, 94, 3 ; Spanish, for account, 55 ; ditto New Deferred, for account, 49 ; ditto Passive, for aooonnt, 361, 354 ; ditto Certificates, for account, 14, 4, 131 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 941 ; ditto, 1858, for account, 704, ex div. ; ditto, 1862, for account, 714 ; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 614, 1. The Confederate Loan is dull, at 31 to 29 die. The new Colombian Loan has declined to } to I prem. International Financial shares are firm at 44 to prem. ; and General Credit and Finance, 2e. 6d. better, at 3to 3} prem. London Financial are steady, at 4 to prem. Hudson's Bay are quoted i die. being dull ; and Egyptian Trading, If to 2 prem. Fous o'CLoCK. Consols are quoted 94 for money, and 94 to for the account, showing a fractional advance compared with the prices current at 2 o'clock. The true explanation of the sensitiveness of the Paris Bourse is perhaps to be found in the extent to which the passion for gambling has penetrated the French population, even of the lower orders. Throughout Paris the main topic of csonversstion is uniformly the movements of, audthe newsfrom, the Bourse. Any disquieting or perplexing in telligence produces the more effect upon prices, because it is usually accompanied by an irruption of weak speculators, under the pressure of whose sales the market is occa sionally thrown down to a far greater extent than the mere news would appear to justify. For this reason the Paris Bourse is always more impulsive in its movements than the London Stock Exchange. The discount market continues rather tight, and, as 4 per cent. is the general rate for good bills, a considerable amount of business is carried to the Bank. The new Colombian Loan closed yesterday at I to 1 prem. It appears that the stock of the Panama Railway Company, upon the redemption of whose undertaking this loan is isillaterally secured, stands at about 190 per cent. at New York. About 40,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, making the total for the week 199,0001., against an ascertained withdrawal of 106,0001. The City of Baltimore, from New York, has brought 60,000/. in specie. Letters from Gothenburg, in Sweden, refer to the difficulties of Manua Corrin, Lindhult, and Co., merchants , chie fl y engaged in the grain trade. Their involvements appear to have been entirely brought about by the decline in the price of corn, and their liabilities may reach 50,000/. In some quarters it is thought that assistance may be afforded to the firm, thus preventing any stoppage of the business. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,7311. over last year ; the London and South Western a de crease of 820/. ; the Great Eastern an increase of 8031. ; the Great Northern, a decrease of 90/. ; and the Great Western a decrease of 47031.

The demand for the shares of the Imperial Con tinental Gas Association continues, and by the offi cial list they have reached the price of 901. At this time last year the quotation was about 541. A large and influential portion of the proprietors are deter mined to have the profits divided in a more equit able manner, and object to the system of using income as capital and giving no dividend upon it. They ures that this plan, though it may benefit future shareholders, is very unjust to themselves. Objection is likewise taken to the system of life elected presidents, fostering, as it does, an indiffer ence to shareholders' opinions. At the meeting yesterday of the London Assur ance Corporation a dividend of ss. per share, free of income tax, was declared for the half-year. Notice is given of the closing of the transfer books of the London and South African Bank, preparatory to a payment on account of the next yearly dividend.

A reward has been offered for the apprehension of the thieves. DARING CASH-Box ROBBERY, NEAR BRISTOL,— On Tuesday considerable commotion was occasioned in the neighbourhood of Hotwells by an exciting chase after • fel low who, it was undeestood, was monism; off with a cash-box oontaimag, it was stated, 701. The pursuit resulted in the capture of a middle-aged man, who has the appearance of a " swell-mobs man." It seems that the fellow , with a male companion, entered the General Draper Inn,Hotwelle, and called for something to drink. They were left alone in one of the rooms, and were lost sight of for some little time. It is supposed that one of them kept watch while the other went to an new room, and appropriated the cash-box, with its valuable contents. At all ermine His. Baker, the landlady, saw the pair leave together, the man now in custody carrying her cash-box. She immediately cried oat, Stop that fellow, he has got my cub-box .'" and attended by one of the employes, she pee chase. The fellow ran up the steps leading to the back of Prince's buildin g s. In followmg lira Baker unfortunately fell, and injured her arm badly. The number of pursuers M- I creased at every turn. Very soon the fellow was come up with, and, notwithstanding that he did all he could rto divert attention from himself, he was recognised and secured. He had drawn out a deer, and put on a non chalant air, but too close notice had been taken of him to render his recognition doubtful. He struggled with his captor at first, but could not free himself, and was banded over to the custody of Acting.Serpant Thatcher, who was in the neighbourhood, and who had joined in the permit. In the man's possession the cash.box was found. There had been no opportunity afforded for the opening of the box, consequently it and its content., were intact. Very close to the man, who gave his name u Jobn Young, and said he was 53 years old, a small bunch of skeleton keys was found by Samuel Fry, of Henbane. It is supposed that Young dropped the housebreaking articles, which, it is said, are se complete as the most experienced cracksman could desire. The man, it bad been noticed, had taken frequent passages to and from Portiehead in the steamer, with two other men, it is inferred, to quote the detective's tens, "on twiner." The prisaser's companion has not yet been captured. The police are using every exertion to apprehend him, and also to ascertain the antecedents of the man now in custody.— Wearers Dsilp Pram.

THE COLONY OF " ADHLETHH."—We pointed out in our notice of Sir Richard llacDonnell's lecture and its accompanying map how absurd it was to see the name of " !south Australia" written right across the continent from Port Adelaide to Port Essiegtoa. We now find from the remarks which the Chief Secretary made ou Tuesday in the Legislative Council that the government are turning their attention to the desirability of altering the name of the colony. It is true the extension of territory now given to South Australia is only of a temporary character, but the new lands may for raspy years be under the guardianship of the local government, sod may very probably become known by the name which is borne by the colony itself. Under those circumstances " South Australia." i• highly unsuitable ; and since it always has been an inap propriate name, the present opportunity ought to be seized for getting it altered. With regard to ths choice of • new name, the Chief Secretary thinks that " Albert" woull be a popular designation. But there is an " Albertlaod in New Zealand, and the newapapersof New South Wales we see contain proposals for calling their own colony " Alberta." There appetite, indeed, to be some danger that " Albert" will be applied as in iliverimiustely to colonies and other places as " Victoria" has been. At all events, there is no good reason why it should be adopted here. What we would propose in that the same of "Adelaide," by which the pro vince is even now generally known tumoral strangers, should be substituted for "South Australia." It has the advantage of being • familiar designation, and It would not mislead people, as an entirely DOW name might. It is very probable that a better mime then this might be found foe a colony just starting on its career, but 61 " Adelaide " is already often used as a substitute for Smith Australia there would be an advantage in adopting it " Adelaide flour" and " Adelaide" wool are well known in the markets of the weld, end thug the name of the colony is nised. In the ease of Van Diemeni's Lead bu r = government have sanctioned the adoption of "Tasmania" ass new name for that colony, and it is net May that they will make objection to as alteration in the awe of &nth Australia, especially as the present extensive of territory makes some change highly neceesety. The Chief flegreterg whilst referring to this matter, dated that reference to the occupation of country in a lttrrVeat Australia had been received from parsons is this and the adjacent colonies, but that, of coon*, no mentions could be framed until the commission enabling the governor to deal with the lauds bad been received.- Adelaide Obarrore, July 25.
