The lirilener next persuaded him that as the pollee 'Meld also costs ea board the vessel he would have to be dressed as a sailor, and he had an old pair of trowrore and a arty shirt given to him, which wero. The steamer was taken into the Commer cial Doe, Rotherliithe, and he was bare taken ashore by the prisoner to a public-house, and kept for Moe time. The prosecutor and the prisoner subsequently proteeded to London-bridge by a river steamer, when the prisoner teek ou t _a porromonnak to pay their fares, and the Cfor identified the porternonnaie as hie property and it from the prisoner. This led to the manteau being examined, when it wee found to contain nothing but worthless and worn-out articles of clothing, and the pri soner was given into ouroody. Captain Shall' and Ilaniel Mitchell, the chief all eer of the Cossack, both gave evidence that the prose cutor bad been brought from Bunks in the vessel without their knowledge. The prisoner denied the robbery. He admitted the pro %orator was brought to him at Oronstadt as a distressed Pole, crying mid wishing to be conveyed to England Of the Tgroubles paid by the prosecutor to the man who brought him, he (prisoner) had received only 19 roubles. The portemonnaie be accounted for the possession of by saying that while on the voyage the prosecutor gav e it him, It then only containing a few oopecks, to purchase some fi sh from those an board a fi shing vessel, with wilMh they fell in while at lei. Inspector Beadle, of the Thames police, said he took the prisoner into custody, but bad not been able to discover any of the Mr. Maur a cruel robbery had been practised, but there was, strictly speaking no legal proof who was the thief, there being Mims in the forecastle where the prose. cuter had remained as a " stowaway ' during the voyage. The prisoner had, however, been guilty of an offence in bringing the ma to this country unknown to the captain, and for this he would pay a fine of 40a., or be imprisoned for one month, with hard labour. The interpreter asked what the prosecutor was to do, as he bed been robbed of everything he possessed, and had no means of subsistence. _ _ SHARE LIST&-(THIB DAY.) ONE O'CLOCK.

PRESTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The Preston Banking Company, which was eeta bliahed in 1844, suspended payment this morning. The following notice appeared upon the ontaide door about 9 o'clock : " It is with extreme regret that I have to inform the public that, owing to temporary difficulties, the bank is compelled to suspend payment. " JOHN Gruorr, Manager." —Tinto (Second Edition). The Duke of Nassau, who ran the risk of being detained in his duchy by the Prussians, has escaped towards the south. Thia is the sixth sovereign amongst those who have declared against Prussia, who have been obliged to leave their States. The others are: the Kings of Hanover and Saxony, the Elector of Hesse, the Duke of Saxe- Meiningen, and the Grand Duke of Hesse. General Kalik, who commanded the Austrian brigade in Holstein, and who was taken ill at the moment of the departure of that corps, has just died at Altona. The Prase of Vienna speaks of successful essays of the needle-gun in the army. Lieutenant-General Grant is to visit Niagara the latter part of July or the first of August. Rooms have been secured at the International Hotel for him. The disastrous tire at Portland originated from a fire cracker, discharged by a small lad in the north eastern part of the city, which set on fire some shavings scattered upon the ground, and the high wind prevailing at the time carried the fire into a cooper's shop near by, igniting the combustible material therein ; the adjoining buildings were soon seized, and the flames speedily passing beyond all control, embraced a large portion of the city in their grasp. Within twenty-four hours the fire swept over 200 acres of territory, ravaging thirty streets, destroying 1,500 buildings, and ejecting nearly 3,000 families from their homes. THE PROPOSED REFORM MEETING IN HYDE PARR.—Sir Richard Mayne has issued a printed notice pointing out the illegality of political demonstrations in Hyde-park, such meetings being inconsistent with the purposes for which the park is thrown open to, and used by, the public. Sir Richard, after alluding to the pro posed reform gathering on the 23rd inst., intimates that no assemblages of persons in large numbers will be allowed to take place in the park, and that all necessary measures will be adopted to prevent any such meeting, and effec tually to preserve the public peace. MIDDLESEE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, FELTHAIT.— The annual inspection of the boys in this school (which was established to make provision for the care, reforma tion, and education of juvenile offenders in the county of Middlesex), took place yesterday at the institution. Amongst the visitors were Lord Ebury, Lord Eustace Cecil, Lord Ernest Bruce, and Mr. Henry Pownall. Under the management of Captain Rowland Brooks, the superintendent of the school, a programme of arrange ments was prepared for the occasion, and these were of such a nature that the visitors were enabled to witness the regulations under which the school is conducted, and to form a general conception of the manner in which the boys are trained ; thus the company present had an oppor tunity of inspecting the inmates in the exercise of their industrial occupations, which are of various kinds. There was also a small exhibition of articles made by the boys open for inspection. But perhaps the leading feature of attraction was the ceremony which consisted in the christening of a model brig recently erected on the pre mises under the supervision of Messrs. Green and Co., of Blackwell, its purpose being to enable a certain number of boys to be trained and prepared for a seafaring life. The rigging of the ship, as far as it has yet gone, has been effected by the boys of the school, under the instruction of boatswains. The model ship is fixed in one of the lame open spaces surrounding the school building, and it is in all respects an object of much interest, its outward form presenting every appearance of a vessel afloat upon the waters. It was christened on the present occasion the " Endeavour," and the lady who discharged the duty was Mrs. Glossop, the wife of the chairman t.f the committee.

ANOTHER CHARON OP INDECENT ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE._ George Riger, 30 years of age, residing at No. 3, Marsham street, Westminster ' was charged with indecently as saulting one Helene Luke while in a railway carriage, and during transit from Woolwich to London, on the Great Eastern line. The complainant, who is 25 years of age, appears to be of German extraction. She stated—l em single, and lire in Back-road, St. George's. I left Woolwich-fan:lens at 12 o'clock last night, and got into a railway carnage to come to Shoreditch. There were several persons in the carriage ; one gentleman got out at Barking-road, and directly afterwards this person (defendant) began to pall ap my petticoats. Mr. Cooke—But there were other parties in the same carriage you say Complainant—Yes, three more, but they werebia friends, and did not interfere. He tried to expose me to them. When he found he could not do so he kicked me in the chest. Dross-examined by defendant—l did see yon last Sunday and you wanted my company but it was not convenient ; oh yes, I will speak all the truth—you had not any money. Defendant—Yes, I said so certainly. William Twist (inspector on the line)—At half-past 12 o'clock I was on the platform of the Mile-end Station when the last train from Woolwich came in, and in a second-class carriage I saw the complainant. She was sitting in scorner her hat was off, and she was crying very much. I inquired what was the matter, and she replied that defendant had tried to turn her clothes completely over her head and had exposed her to others in the car riage. I appealed to three other persons who were there rto the truth of this statement, b u t none of them would . . . say anything about it.l They are friends of the defendant, and they and he belong to the band of musicians at Wool wich-gardens. Defendant—l have witnesses who will confute this woman's statement. Benjamin Roddy, sworn—l am a musician, and reside at li!ackney.road. I was present in the carriage on the axe ann. Complainant was sitting with her clothes over the knees of • gentleman in a very improper manner. He got rt at the Barking-mad station. She and defendant then got into conversation and quarrelled. He did not raise her dress or kick or strike her. He did push her. Is was at this point mentioned that testimony of a tho- Toughly impartial character could be most probably obtained if a remand was allowed, and Mr. Cooke thereon adopted that course, but admitted defendant to bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO Itgliil-SHMILNT-HOUISE IMPELS. Mr. JosepA Miller, the keeper of a German café, at 62, Dcan-street, Soho, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer a Barron" taken out by Inspector Harrison, of the C division, for opening his house for the sale of beer before the hour of 1, on the afternoon of Sunday, the Bth July.

On 'Peaking to the defendant he said be had • refreshment house license, and he should keep open till 1 o'clock. At • quarter past 1 he saw 16 persona leave the house. Rowlett, 145 C, corroborated the sergeant. . lospector Harrison said the defendant was not acting in Ignorance as he had cautioned him several times before. .Kr.

[The O&M was not concluded when our report left.] THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANBION-HOITB ISTRAORDTWART CNA ItG2 01P BOBBIRT AID TOROUT. Two lads, named Robert Stack and Joke Toggs, were c harged with stealing a cheque for 21. 15e. and forging an endorsement thereto under very darkly oircumstannia. It appeared that Hawke., one of flu detective officers, standing in the gaoler's room of the Mansion-House, which has • window looking into the street, where a number of persons generally assemble for the purpose of seeing the prisoners oome out of the police van—saw the two prisoners among the crowd, and observed that Stack appeared to have • considerable amount of money in his bend, and he saw him band some silver to the other prisoner. The proceeding excited suspi cion, and he went out and was proceeding towards the two lads, when Tagp ran off in one direction and Steak in another, but they were both stopped. Hawkes then caked the prisoner where he got the money from he had seen him with, and he said he had received it from Bennett and Co., in Lombard street, and he assured the officer that it was all right, and said with apparent artlesnese that he could not tell why his companion had ran away. The officer then accompanied Stack to the bank he had mentioned and one of the clerks prodnoed a cheque for 24. 15a., drawn by • gentleman named Harris, residing at Tooting, in favour of Mr. Everett, newsvender, Royal Ex and Which purported to bearthe endonement of that gentlemen The prisoner Steck then, with great readiness, said that his muter had sent him to the bank to get the cheque cashed, and he asserted with great vehemence that it was " all right," and begged the officer to let him go. Hawkas was not quite satisfied, and having seen the prisoner put something in his pocket, he asked him what it was, and he handed him an open letter, and then the mystery was cleared up, for this letter turned oat to have been one sent to Mr. Everett from one of his customers, and which contained a cheque payable to order. The prisoner Stack then finding that it was useless to tell any more lies about the matter, admitted that he was in the service of Mr. Everett, and that he had broken open the letter and taken out the cheque, and in quite • business like manner added, " I put the endorsement to It myself, and got the money." It appeared that the other boy, Tapp, was merely a companion of Stack's, and that he had accompanied him to the bankers' and the latter had given him four shillings for his share in the transaction. After they had obtained the money, it appeared that Stack purchased a pound of cherries, and they were both munching at the fruit when the attention of the officer was attracted to them. The whole of the money received for the cheque was recovered with the ex ception of fourpence that wee paid for the cherries. The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and Alder man Sidney discharged Taggs, as he said there was no di rect proof that he knew the cheque was forged. The other prisoner, Stack, was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A WOMAN. Margaret Diann, a muscular woman, was placed at the bar before Sir Robert W. Carden, charged with striking the complainant on her forehead and other parts of her face with her fist and some instrument, and causing se veral severe wounds, Mrs. Merton Streak said that her husband's name was William John Strenk. He was a greengrocer, at present residing at 14, Moor-lane. Last night, about 8 o'clock, she was sitting in the parlour reading the newspaper, when the prisoner, who lodged in the house, rushed at her, and three times pulled her out into the passage by the hair of her head, and when she got her there she threw her on the ground, and beat and kicked her about the bead and face, causing several severe wounds and bruises. (The complainant's face presented • mass of dreadful contusions, and her head was enveloped in surgical bandages. She was accommodated with a seat while giving her evidence, as she appeared in a weak and fainting condition.) Witness was taken to the hospital, where the doctor sewed up three large wounds, one on her right cheek and two on the upper part of the head. Sir R. W. Carden asked what arise of enmity the pri soner bad towards her. Witness said that some time ago she lent the prisoner some things to make a pledge of, and she had not redeemed them as she promised. Her husband had found out that she lent the prisoner his coat, and there was a disturbance about it, and witness had been compelled to speak to the prisoner's husband on the subject, and that was the cause of the quarrel. The prisoner said the prosecutrix was always calling her names, and that irritated her. She also denied laying a hand on her. Sir IL W. Carden remanded the prisoner for the attend. ante of the surgeon.

MONEY MARKET. -(THIS DAY.) ONS o'Owca. The amount of business in public securities to day is not large, but the general tendency of prices is rather more favourable. Consols continue in demand, and exhibit a fresh rise of 1-16 per cent. It is stated that the recent important advance in the funds was chiefly caused by a purchase to the ex- tent of 500,0001. on account of a leading joint stock bank. Foreign stocks, British rail ways, and banking and financial shares are also better in several cases. It is anti cipated that peace will soon be announced on the Continent, and that the demand for geld for exportatien will diminish during the next few days, owing to a revival of confidence amongst foreigners with respect to our commercial position. The directors of the Bank of England met this morning, and, after a short discussion, separated without making nay alteration in the rate of dis count. This announcement has not caused any clisapppointment, no change having been expected to-day. There is a fair demand for money to-day, and a good supply. The general rate for bills is 9to per cent. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans on English government securities is 6 per cent. Consols are now quoted 88 to 4 for money, and 84 to for the account (August 9). Foreign stocks are firm, and a rise, ranging from to per cent. has taken place in Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, Italian of 1861, Brazilian scrip, and Mexican. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 50 to 52, ez div. ; ditto of 1865, 27 to ; Greek, 11 to 12 ; Spanish Passive, 191 to 20; ditto Certificates, 154 to ; Italian, 1861, 521 to 534, ex div. ; Brazilian scrip, 3 to 2 dis. ; and Mexican, 154 to I. United States 5-20 bonds and Erie Railway shares are unchanged, at 69 to 4 and 424 to 43, respectively, but Illinois Central have improved per oent.—viz., to 771 to 784. International Financial shares are now quoted 14 to 1i dis. ; London Financial, 114 to 104 dia. ; General Credit, 11 to 14 clis. ; Crest Fonder, to ; and National Discount, 84 to prom. It affords an illustration of the capricious in fluences to which prices are often subjected in the Stock Exchange, that rumours of the financial difficulties of one or two of the railways have lately been held sufficient to depress the stocks of some of the most solid companies in the kingdom—com panies whose credit is perfectly unimpeachable. About 42,0001. in bar gold was taken out of the Bank yesterday for Paris, while 15,000 sovereigns from Alexandria were sent in. The operations of the week comprise 101,0001. bought, and 270,0001. withdrawn. The City of Beaton, from New York, has brought 13,0001. in specie. In the absence of inquiry for the East and the continent, the market for bar silver was again very flat yesterday, and a further fractional reduction took place in the price, viz., to ss. lid. per ounce. Mexican dollars were also lower, at 4s. llid. The bidding' for government hills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were : To Calcutta, 10,27,000 rs. ; to Madras, 50,000 rs. ; and to Bombay, 20,00 rs. The minimum price was as before, viz., Is. 10d. on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 100. on Bombay, at which rates allotments were made in full. These results show that the demand for remittance to India is still languid. Out of atotal of 350,0001. of bills offered yesterday, only 109,7001. have been sold. A deputation from the Glasgow Chamber of Com merce had an interview yesterday afternoon with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the working of the Bank Act, and the great damage inflicted upon trade by the existing high rate of discount. After attentively listening to the views of the deputation, Mr. Disraeli is understood to have stated that the government will not oppose the appointment of a commission to inquire fully into the matter. The accounts of the tone of public feeling at Birmingham have become more satisfactory, and it would appear that—apart from the losses of indi viduals—the effects of the stoppage of the Bir mingham Banking Company are passing away. A meeting of the creditors of Mr. A. Barron (trading as William Rattray and Co.), of London and Barbadoes, who failed last month, was held yester day. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. White, the accountant, states the liabilities at 59,6481. Bs. 4d., and the assets at 53,1271. 15s. Bd., show ing a deficiency of 6,5201. 12s. Bd. A resolution, expressing sympathy with the firm and agreeing to a liquidation under a deed of inspection, was carried unanimously.
