Mr. Sleigh urged in extenuation that although the sari. weer had been guilty of a grave offence, he had not in any wad ill-used the preecutrix or his wife. _ The Recorder, however, said he could not see any ex tenuating circumstances, and sestenoed the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour.

It appears that James Cart wright bought • gun • short time ago, and he has been in the habit of amusing his little nephew by allowing him to fire of perensidoe caps. A man, named But terworth, came to borrow Cartwright's gnu on Sunday forenoon, for the purpose, as he said, of shooting at a flock of starliags. He returned the pa shortly after wards still loaded. saying the birds had disappeared, and, taking of the cap. hung the weapon on the ceiling, not omitting to ten Cartwright that it was charged. About half-past 4 in the afternoon, the child Taylor came in, and, outing Ilia eyes towards the gun, said, " Let me shoot ;" whereupon Cartwright took down the pa, forgetting that it was loaded, and put on • cap. He thee took the little fellow between his knees, bat the child would not draw the trigger. Joshua Cartwright, a boy of 13, then took th e gun and - pulled the trigger. The contents of the gun lodged in left died. bread of the child Taylor, who, after sobbing twice, FILILRFUL FALL OF A TRAPPZIAN.—A fearful acci dent, which might bees terminated fatally, occurred at Myers's Circus, Hanley. yesterday afternooo. The proprietor had arranged to give the school children of the district an afternoon performance, and they had assembled in each nom. berm that many had to be turned away disappointed. Part of the afternoon's entertainment coexisted of the perform. some of a youth bearing the oo;nomeo of " Young Julien." He had for the last three years been the property keeper, though previously he had performed on the trapeze. In copse. queues of the Caliente having terminated their engagement and returned to the establishment at Liverpool, be had for the first time returned to his origins! performances upoo the trapeze, at • height of 52 feet from the ground. He had not been on the rope lace, and was about to perform the feat of suspending himself by the toes, when, in making the spring necessary, he fell to the ground upon his hands and knees, and his head struck upon the earth with en aidemble violisoos. The spectators, as might be expected, wore horroretrickee, sad the performer was removed from the ring insensible, Mr. Folker attending him. It was at first thought that his injuries were very serious, if not fetid, but we are glad to say that no saver, injuries have been sustained, and it is probable that the performer will shortly be in • condition to resume his eugagementa.

The would.he murderess resides at 17, Bell and Anchor Cottages near to the Victoria Docks, her husband, a man named Ph ilbric, being employed on the Pier-head, adjacent to the docks. It appears that Mrs. Pbilbric, who has hitherto berm the character of • kind parent and affectionate wits, prepared the breakfast for her family in her nand m about 7 in the morning ; but immediately on her buaband's departure she desired the eldest child, a boy about ten years old, to go at once to bed again. The boy hod no sooner got into bed than she rushed at him with a poker and struck him on the head. She then procured • razor, and, in spite of the violent screams and struggler of the poor little fellow, she succeeded in inflicting • wound in his throat. Although shockingly wounded, the boy contrived to escape into the street, tad by his cries for assistance alarmed the neigh bours, several of whom rushed into the house and suc ceeded in preventing the wretched woman from murdering the three other children. The boy was at own conveyed to the Poplar Hospital. where be lies in a precarious con dition. Mrs. Phdbric was removed to the West Ham Union wider the charge of the police, sod the medical men who were called in pronounced her to be insane.

In the absence of unfavourable intelligence, the stock markets to-day are firmer. Support is given to prices by the somewhat easier appearance of the money market. The improvement in the funds does not exceed 1-16th to i t per cent., but home railways and most of the speculative foreign stocks are a fraction better. The discount market is rather easier to-day, and there is more disposition to transact business in first class bills at 8/ per cent., being 1 below the Bank minimum. The demand for short loans in the Stock Exchange is moderate, at 4 to 5 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at 66fr. 10c., being sc. better than yesterday. Console are now quoted 88/ for money, and 884, " sellers," for the account (Oct. 11).

The Confederate Loan has fallen 14 per cent , but, with this exception, the foreign stock market is firm, and in several cases an improvement of 1 to 1 per cent. has taken place. Some of the present quo tations are annexed, viz., Greek, 24 to 1 ; Mexican, 274 to 1 ; Confederate, 77 to 79 ; Spanish Passive, 32 to ; ditto Certificates, 14 4 to 1 ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 684 to 69 ; ditto, 1862, 691 to 701 ; and the Consolichis, 501 to 514.

The abundance of money in the Stock Ex ' change cannot be regarded as a particularly healthy sign, although it certainly indicates an unusual degree of caution on the part of the financial community. Bankers, discounters, and other firms, who feel the necessity, in these uncertain times, of keeping large reserves, find their objects answered by employing them on the Stock Excbauge in this way, with the facility of imme diately recalling them, when required ; and it is, of course, ou account of the convenience of this system to them that such loans now command only 4 t ee reent., while the current rate of discount is Rese rv es, however, must be kept, and 4 per cent. is worth taking, even in these days of dear money. A rumour comes over from the Continent that the Italian government is contemplating an early appeal to the money market for a new loan, the amount of which, having regard to the heavy expenditure of the government, would doubtless be large. It is presumed that the bulk of the loan, whenever the condition of the money market allows it to be introduced, will be taken, as heretofore, in Italy and Paris, but perhaps subscriptions may also be invited in London. The period for the introduction of the Egyptian Loan for 5,000,000/. sterling depends greatly upon the _course of our money market ; but, cir cumstances permitting, it will probably be issued about November. The loan is intended to cover liabilities already incurred here and in Paris, re presenting very nearly the amount above mentioned, and which become due during the next twelve months. There liabilities consist of 2,400,0001., due by the Viceroy of Egypt to the promoters of the Suez Canal, on the arbitration of the French go vernment ; 750,000/., due to the Egyptian Trading Company ; and Treasury bills to the amount of about 2,00,C301., held in London and Paris. A large portion of these liabilities have accrued through the purchase here of agricultural imple ments and machinery, chiefly required for the cul tivation of cotton. It is thus believed that the loan will involve uo drain of gold from England. It is quite evident that nothing but the existing stringency in our money market saves us from the introduction of numerous loans for foreign states. Peru, Egypt, and Italy, will probably be amongst the earliest applicants. About 45,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, making a total of 285,0001. since the last return, while only 20,0001. is known to have been withdrawn for exportation. The steamer Pi. Jnali will take to-day 147,9841. in specie, of which 26 ,4741 . is gold, and the rest silver ; 87,4041. is for India, 20,0001. for Mauritius, 19,5301. for China, 17,5001. for Singapore, 2,9501. for Aden, and 6001. for Point de Galle. The Mexican dollars by the steamers Plantagenet and Florida were sold yesterday at ot lid. per oz., being id. below the price obtained for the supply by the last Mexican packet. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1181. compared with last year ; and the South Eastern an increase of 61. A call of 51., payable half as capital and half as premium, is to be paid on the shares of the Commer cial Bank Corporation of India and tho East by the Bth October. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China is called for the sth October to declare an interim dividend for the half-year ended 30th June last. An extraordinary meeting of the London Printing and Publishing Company (Limited) is called for the 30th inst., to declare a half-yearly dividend. With reference to the wine and spirit trade, the circular for Australia of Mr. F. W. Cosens con tains the following Siam the departure of the August mail, there bag bees a solimiable revival in the demand for most descriptions of wino and spirits. The clearances for home eousumpticse are well maintained ; for the port of London slow they are as ender:—August, 1864: Brandy, 115,203 gallon; rum, 96,966 gallons; wine, 525.921 gallons. August, 1863: Brandy, 87,340 ; rum, 92,C33 ; wits°, 445,504. It is quite clear from them totals that the general demand must be good. The brandy market is fiat, consequent upon more favour. able amounts from Cognac respecting the vintage. Rum has been in domain', and sales made at improved rates. Sherry and port have been more enquired for, but holders of good round qualities are not disposed to accept anything but fair prices. The latest advice• to band from both Sydney and Melbourne Sr. especially unfavourable, and, although the exports from hence are not upon an alarming male, it is diffkult to see how, with diminished means at command, the colouista are to Gomm* them within • res. amiable period; of wine especially, the shipments have been for name months on a liberal scale ; the bulk, however, will probably peeve to be of inferior quality, found unsaleable here, and which has been shipped as a last resource, the facilities foe hypothecatioo being apparently as great as ever. Wins—Sherry: The export of this wine from Cadiz con tinues upon a pinch more moderate scale than during the early months of the year; the vintage as a whole would, it was anticipated, prove more productive than was at first expected ; the total yield, however, would not be up to an average, the quality eipsteed to be fine. Prices were well maintained, but peodnu the vintage. few tramacticine me reported. Port: from Oporto the advice. are somewhat ocafiicting ; the yield of the vintage will probably be found, although ler than that of but year, a fair average. MONDAY EVIXIIIIS3.
