THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GIIILDHLT.L. 8111008 AMIDENT PEON EUILIOI3/1 DIETING. Han Hillier, a cabman, the d r i ver o f ca b 2,320, was placed at the leer before Alderman William Lawrence, c harged with having driven his cab in • furious manner to the common danger of the public and to the injury of John Edward Forster. Police-constable 806 said that on the 27th of July the primesc drove his cab from Basteheap round the canes Into King William-street, at the rate of about six miles an h ou r. On turning the corner by Fish-street-hill, the shaft of his cab struck • man on the shoulder, and knocked him down, and a London, Brighton, and South Coast van that was crossing from King William-street to Eestchesp passed over his legs. He stopped the driver of the van, but before he could get his name he was obliged to leave him to go after the cab, which was driving away, so that he might get the number. He afterward' put the wounded man in • cab and sent him to Guy's Hospital. The rate the defendant was driving at was too sharp to turn • corner in a lace like King William-street. Edmonds, the dri ver of the van that ran over the injured man, attended, gave his name and address, and entered into his own reeognisances to appear on a future day and answer any charge that might be preferred against him. Mg. John Gill mid he was house 'urgers at Guy's Hospital. On the 27th of July John Edward Forster was brought into the hospital suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg. It was the fracture of the bone with an external wound communicating with it. He gave his age as 5L He would not be able to leave the hospital for dx weeks or two months. He was not out of danger yet, although he was not in immediate danger. Mr. James Bennett, of 59, Richmond-road, Islington, amid he saw the cab turn the corner at what he should consider a very sharp paoe indeed, 'and he thought the officer bad understated it. The man was knocked down and the pnwner drove away. He came forward not to injure e prisoner but to do Judie') to the officer, who had a very difficult task to perform. Aldermen Lawrence thought the conduct of Mr. Bennett entitled him to the thanks of the public. He thou re manded the atm for a week and accepted bail in 401. and his own recognisance in 401. to appear in • week. CLEIMENWIrLL. smuara TROY PARCELS AT THE OBELI NOITILERN RAILWAY. Alward Stevens, aged 30, a nilway porter, residing at 20, Albion-street, York-road, King s-cross, was charged with stealing from the goods station of the Great Northern Railway, King's-cross, St. Pancras, 1 Oz. of tobacco, value 4d. the property of the Great Northern Railway. For some time past great complaints have been made to the company of tobacco having been stolen from the par eels in Wendt. At about 2 o'clock in the morning • detec tive officer in the employ of the company saw • pawl that lad been tampered with, and he consesled himself and watched. After a short' time be saw the prisoner go up to the parcel and take out • small quantity of tobacco and put it in his pocket. The offi cer then went and asked him what he had taken from the parcel, when the prisoner denied that be had touched the parcel, but he afterwards said that he was sorry for what he had done, and hoped that no notice would be taken of the matter. T bs officer told him that that was more than his place was worth, and then took him to the c lice.stri t :ou, and on marching him found the tobacco in prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked for mercy, ea it was his first offence. IL+. Williams, the chief of the company's police, said that it was necessary to press the charge as an example to the other servant,. - Mr. D'4urt said he was sorry for the prisoner's sake that he had sacrificed his character in inch a way. He was afraid that this was not the first time the prisoner had stolen, for the very first time he was watched he was caught. He then sentenced the prisoner to one month's bard labour in the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STRUT. DISGRACEFUL CARR OF FRAUD. Cleatat Lamprier, a young man of respectable appear ance, described as a cabinet maker, in Longforth-street, itegent'sperk, was charged with having obtained a quan tity of furniture under false representation that it was for the Junior United Service Club, in Charles-street, St. James's. Mr. Beard prosecuted and Mr. Abbott defended. The evidence went to show that a few weeks since the prisoner went to Messrs. Jeremiah Pickard's,who are couch and chair manufacturers, having business premises at 32, Hague-street, Bethnal-green, and represented to one of the principals that he had been recommended by a friend of theirs named Armstrong as afirm who oouldsupply him with first-rate goods, and that he required a part of a suite im mediately for the approval of tbe Junior United Service Club. On the faith of Mr. Armstrong's smarted recom mendation the prisoner was allowed to remove on the following day a sofa, easy chair, and other articles, in value about 1d&, with the unders tanding that if not ap proved they should be returned the next morning. This little transaction was made to appear more plausible by prisoner producing a letter purporting to be sent from the club to him, in which it was stated that the goods would not be received unless they were sent immediately. The property . wax not returned, nor did the prisoner return. Inquiry having proved that he was unknown at the club, the matter was put into the bands of Mafia, 74 8, who apprehended bun shortly afterwards while in bed at his home. On hearing the charge he coolly took from his pocket some duplicates, placed them in the con stable's hand, and remarked, " There ! I pledged the things in my own name, and gave my own address." An assistant to Mr. Alders, pawnbroker, of 67, Berwick street, Soho, said that he bad had business transactions with the prisoner two years since, and advanced money On these identical goods, relyinir on his assertion that they were his own property. He said that he was completing an order for the Junior United Service Club. Kr. Armetrong, oabinet-maker. in the Hampetead-road, denied having recommended the prisoner to Messrs. Pickard or them to him. Prisoner introduced himself by seeking inquiries relative to that firm supplying first elms goods, which matter and their place of business alone were spoken of. Mr. Beard then produced from the club gentlemen who proved that the prisoner was unknown there, and that no sash order as that in question had been given. Mr. Beard said that this constituted the case, and the prosecutors were content to leave it in the hands of the court if the magistrate thought he had power to deal with It. Prisoner begged that he might be dealt with summarily. He would plead guilty. It was his rust offense. He never intended a fraud. Mr. Cooke remarked that his only doubt was whether he ought not to send the prisoner on the charge of stealing ; be certainly would not deal with the cue himself. Prisoner was fully committed for trial for fraud, but allowed to put in heavy bail if he could find it. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BARMAID CHARGED WITH ROBBRRY. Mara Jaar 3taaterjord , about 16 yW••c)l7l,l;armaid, in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Overton, of the Old Chester field Arms, Shepherd-street, Mayfair, was charged before Mr. Flowers with stealing cigars and other articles, the property of her master. Mfr. Overton said that for some time past he had minded the prisoner, who was his barmaid, of robbing him. On Sunday last she went out and never returned, and in cionsequence of one of his children telling him that the prisoner had taken some money from the tall he com municated with the police. She went yesterday ti the pri soner who was staying with her aunt in Bateman's-build ings, ' Soho, and asked her to return with him, and she did to. He then gave her into custody,. and on the o ffi cer searching her b ox severa l c i gars , simians and other arti cles, his property, were found, and the prisoner acknow. 144 taking 3s. from the till. The prisoner had been Lying out money extravagantly, and had told a person aimed Norton not to let Mrs. Overton know what she benht. nilip Sirives, 82 C, proved being sent for, and taking the prisoner into custody for stealing different articles and money from the till. The prisoner denied three or four times taking away money, bat afterwards admitted that sh e t oo k 3s. from the till on Sunday.

Kra Overton, wife of the prosecutor, identified the pro raproduced, and stated that on coming downstairs on y afternoon she found a man who acted as potman leapidly drunk, and the next morning he told her that the rimer had given Mm half a pint of gin to drink. From liquifies she had made she found that the prisoner bad hen spending a good deal of money of late, and she had no doubt th e prisoner had robbed them to some extent. Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner. SOUTHWARK. limn° A WONAN'a NOS' OTT.

He y sentenced her to six months'hard labour under adleavated Assaults Act. THE EXPRESS, LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (al amaze lIILZGILAPIL ) BRIGHTON MRETING.—(THIS DAY.) OVINODEAN PLATE.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, at the Sir George Osborn's Head Tavern, Princes street, Mile end New Town, relative to the death, through want, of Thom.. Workman, aged 28 years. John R. Howell, porter at the Whitechapel workhouse, said that on the evening of Saturday last the deceased was brought to the house by Polioe-constable Drees and others, who stated that they had found him in Mill-yard, White chapel, apparently in a fit. The deceased was clad in lags, and he had no money ; he gave his name to witness, and said that he was • butcher, but being subject to fits he had no employment. Ho appeared to have no friends or family. Dr. A. Mundell Champneys said that he was called to the deceased, and found him in a deplorably emaciated condition. He was poor and tattered ; his hair and beard matted in a 'mythst showed they had not been combed fora month; he wee dirty and wretched to the last degree. Witness ordered him stimulants and nourishments, but be died next morning. The cause of his death wee exhaustion from destitution. Police-constable Creel, 37 H, said that nothing was known of the deo:need. Witness had Been him once or twice picking up bones in the kennels and such rubbish. The Coroner having summed up, The jun , returned a verdict " That deceased died from the mortal effects of exhaustion from destitution and want of food." LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION AT SUNDERLAND. FOUR MEN SEVERELY INJURED. Yesterday morning, about half-past 0 o'clock, a fearful explosion of • locomotive engine occurred at Sun derland. It appeared that one of the locomotive engines belonging to the Earl of Durham, used for drawing coals from Pensher to the Lambton drops, belonging his lord ship, at Sunderland, had gone from one of the coUieries taking a number of joiners to Sunderland to do some work at the coal drops. The engine had run into a siding near to Deptford church to fill water from a tank, and had put the water on, when a tremendous explosion occurred which lifted the massive engine, about 35 tons weight, off the rails, turned it completely round, and threw it over on its side. At the time four men were on it. Michael Errington, the driver, was on the side of the engine oiling the works ; John Atkinson, the fireman, was attending to the water; and two men, named John Brandon, another engineman, and Matthew Bunch, a guard, were on the tender, intending to proceed with the locomotive to Philadelphia, where they live. The clouds of steam and showers of red-hot cinders and coals at first pre vented the men who were at work near from seeing the ex tent of the accident, but as these cleared away they saw the overturned engine, and rushed towards the spot. The first man found was the engineman, who had been blown away some 15 yards, across several lines of rails, and alighted on his head. The other three men were blown in various directions, but all had been dreadfully scalded by the steam and water ejected from the engine. The engine driver was the least injured of the three ; he was placed on another locomotive and taken to Philadelphia, where he resides. The three others were se soon as possible put into a cab, and taken to Sunderland Infirmary, where their injuries are such that fears are entertained for the recovery of two of them. On examining the locomotive, it was ascertained that one side of the inside plates of the firsbox had been blown off by the pressure of steam in side, and the plate was most curiously torn and twisted. Fortunately, the force of the explosion had been down ward, instead of outwards, or all the men would have 'been killed. The engine was only about two years old, and was manufactured by Messrs. Hudswell and Clark, of Leeds. It is believed that the engineman had allowed the plates to become over-heated for want of water, and im mediately on the admission of fresh water, the explosion took place. The pressure was not more than usual, viz., about 110 pounds.—Loeb Mercury. AN OUTRAGEOUS RA/LWAY FASSZNORR. -At I Driffeld, on Monday, Thomas Smith, of Hull, tailor, was charged with being riotous in a railway carriage. On the Ist inst. there was an excursion from Hull to the gala at Melton, and the defendant was a passenger. His con duct, quarrelling and fighting with the other passengers, was so disgraceful that, on the train arriving at Hutton Cranswick, a complaint was made to the station-master, who proceeded to the carriage in which the prisoner was, and where • frightful scene presented itself. The pri soner was bleeding from the face, and • female and male passenger who sat opposite were covered with blood. It was found that the prisoner had conducted himself more like • madman than a sane person. He was re moved from the carriage ; but the train had scarcely got into motion before it was found necessary to signal for it to be stopped in consequence of the guard hear ing • great disturbance in the carriage into which the prisoner had been removed. He bad again to be taken from the train by force. He kicked the station-master furionsly,knocked his hat off, tore his waistcoat open, pulled his watch out, and threatened to "smash" him,and knocked him into a ditch up to the knees in water. With assistance he was secured and placed in the station. Here he threatened to " do " for the porter, and was feeling in his pocket for a knife to carry his threat into execution when be was given into the custody of a polioeman, who con veyed him to the look-up at Driffield. On the following morning, when his breakfastwas taken to him by a woman, he threw the hot coffee at her, scalding her arm, and con ducted himself in an outrageous manlier. The prisoner said he had no defence to make. He was fined 40a., and ordered to pay expenses, 15s. ; and in default was sent to the House of Correction for 14 days. FATAL FIGHT WITH WET'S BY CAR DRIVERS. - OR Monday an inquest was held at Westminster Hospital, on the body of William Bertram, Mt years of age, a Hansom cabdriver. On Thursday evening the deceased got into an alternation with another cabdriver, named Birch, and they struck at each other with their whips, in Great Georgectreet. Bertram fell off his " dickey ' while stand ing up to strike his antagonist. His horse backed at the same time and the wheel passed twice over deceased. He was taken to the hospital, where be died from internal hemorrhage arising from rupture of the liver. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." • • Tila LATI GMT AOCIDINT AT Lune.—An in quest was held yesterday, by the Leeds coroner, on the body of Mn. Spanks, who met her death in so melancholy • aenner on lluaday last, having been assidentally shot by Thomas Lockwood, a clerk in the Leeds post-ofllos. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Lock wood, and be was eommtited for trial at the present &arises, bail being taken for his appearsoce.—Leeds Ma, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1866. MARE LISTS.--(THIS DAY.) Oirs o'OLoox. The railway market is extremely inactive to-day, and quotations generally exhibit no change, com pared with those last current yesterday.

On the Stock Exchange to-day attention is chiefly directed to the monthly settlement in the funds, which will be completed to-morrow, and very little other business is going forward. The tone of the various departments is still flat. Consols and British railway stocks are with out variation, but foreign securities have declined, the chief reduction being in Turkish of 1862 and Italian of 1861. Banking, financial, and misoal laneous shares show a drooping tendency. The inquiry for discounts continues rather active, and the general rate for three months' paper is fully 9 per cent. A large amount of Indian bills arrive at maturity on Friday. Consols are now quoted 87f to 1, both for money and to-morrow's settlement, and 88 3-16 to 5-16 for the new account (September). The transactions in foreign stocks consist mostly of sales, and prices have receded. Turkish Bonds of 1862 and Italian of 1861 have declined 1 per cent. ; Turkish of 1866, 1 ; Spanish Pas sive, 1 ; . and the Committee's Certifi cates, and Mexican, 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 48 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to 27 ; Greek, 11 to 1; Spanish Passive, 19 to 1; ditto Certificates, 14 to 1; Italian of 1861, 501 to 511 ; Brazilian scrip, 41 to 31 dis. ; and Mexican, 1 17 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds are quoted 64 to I, being ill per cent. lower; Erie Railway shares, 401 to 411, showing a decline of i ; and Illinois Cen tral, 75 to i. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have expe_ rienced a fresh fall of 10s., the present prioe being 12 to f. Atlantic Telegraph are also 2s. 6d. worse, st 3 to f. International Financial shares are quoted to If dia. ; London Financial, 12} to 12 dia. ; General Credit, 2to If dia. ; Credit Fonder, 3f to f die. ; and National Discount, 7 to prem., ex div. To judge by the reply given on Monday night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Alderman Salo_ mons, the commercial world will have little to con_ gratulate themselves upon in the change of minis try. Mr. Disraeli seems to have overlooked, or was perhaps unaware of, the fact that his ques tioner was the chairman of the London and West minster Bank, and therefore one of those "persons of great authority in the City of London" to whose representations he pro mised a patient and candid attention." This is the usual official way of getting out of a difficulty, but it is an unworthy course for anyone who pretends to be a legislator to pursue. It seems almost incredible that a question literally involving the commercial prosperity of the country that of all others owes most to commerce should be thus quietly shelved without even a decent show of inquiry. Is it not possible for our public men to learn for themselves the actual state of things in the money market, and thus to find out whether the severity of the existing crisis has been exaggerated or not I Apparently our Chancellors of the Exche quer past and present are indebted for what little information they possess to one or two individuals obstinately pledged to a course of action which has already worked an enormous amount of evil, and is certain to do a great deal more. One fact is very evident, that if the ministry shirk taking any responsibility now, they must before long have to deal with a state of affairs in which the responsibility will be magnified tenfold. Already there are ominous reports afloat of impending com mercial disasters, arising solely from the pressure in the money market, which may prove as injurious as those of last spring. There can be no two opi nions of the necessity of dealing with this question in tune, and if a government choose from timidity or lukewarmness to do nothing, they may reckon upon having their shortcomings most severely visited upon them at no distant period. It is a significant proof of the general feeling in the money market that a report was current yester day afternoon of a temporary loan of two millions in gold from the Bank of France to the Bank of Eng :and being now in course of negotiation. Looking at the peculiar circumstances of the time, &transac tion of this sort would be rather likely to increase than to alleviate distrust, and hence the rumour was generally discredited. About 21,0001. in gold, chiefly from the conti nent, was sent into the Bank yesterday, while 103,000 sovereigns for Brazil, and 48,000 for Buenos Ayres, were withdrawn, for transmission by the packet, which will leave Southampton to-morrow. Mr. G. Evans, of the Evelyn Ironfoundry, New port, has stopped payment, " owing to heavy losses, together with the high rate of discount and general depression in trade." The liabilities, how ever, are understood not to be heavy. The dividend on the Great Northern Railway stock for the half-year is officially announced at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, against 5} for the corresponding period of 1865. The present distri bution allows 21. 10a. on the ordinary stock, 31. on the B, and 21. on the A. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally higher, especially on Belgium, owing to the recent shipments of gold to that country, and on Germany. Notwithstanding the difference in the rate of discount between Paris and London, there is no alteration in the French exchanges.

The subjoined communication on the Anglo- Turkish Loans refers to a point which has been frequently discussed, but appears yet to be not sufficiently understood by the public. There is no doubt that the dividends and sinking fund of the secured Turkish stocks are mire to be met, since the bondholders could at all times make good their claim upon the revenues specially assigned to them. It is very different with the non-secured stocks, as a default might at any time happen from the diffi culties of the general treasury : TO THE EDITOR OF THE =runes. Sir, —The madden and serious fall in the current prices of Turkish securities seems to me to require explanation so far as respects the loans of 1854 and 1858. The former is secured by the EgyptianTribute,which exceeds the amount of the yearly interest and sinking fund, and is, I believe, remitted to London regularly. This simnel payment is made pursuant to a treaty to which the great powers of Europe are parties, and at the date of the subscrip tion the British Minister for cognised the loan, and I pregame the French minister for the same department did so likewise. I am utterly unable to account for any special decline in the price of this stock. Having regard to the important points in its favour, I should have expected to see it quoted at or about 90 per cwt, said I trust that if the fall arises from speculative sales, the peopristere will sot samillos their property, bat, on the contrary, inquire whether there is any reason to doubt the sufficiency and validity of the hwothe cation to them, and if they And (as I believe they wiW that there is no ground for distrust, they will support the market and their own interest:74_4m, ha., cis IGM. The working of districts Nos. 1 and 2 of the sys tem of the Rio de Janeiro City Improvement' Co.- pany was commenced on the Ist July last, and on the same duty the deodorising in both districts was also commenced, thus bringing into working and revenue 8,634 houses in addition to the 2,486 in district No. 3, making a total of 11,010 houses in revenue, at 61. se. a house, from the lit July and it is confidently anticipated that by the end of the year this number will be further inert/ailed by at least 3,000. The traffic earnings of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending July 27 amounted to 10,9631. lbs. 4d., against 11,2658. 01. lid. for the corresponding week of 1865, show mg s. decrease of 3011. 18s. 7d.

SEIZCRE OP SEVEN STEAMERS AT LIVERPOOL. Br TELEGRAIPH.—Tbe Liverpool Journal of Commerce states that the American consul at Liverpool has obtained warrants for the seizure of seven steamers now belonging to Messrs. Frazer, Trenholm, and Co. It is alleged the vessels were the property of the Confederate States. The warrants were obtained on the strength of an affidavit made by a clerk in the employ of Frazer, Trenholm, and Co. THE CARE Or HYDE-PARC—Arrangements are now in progress (says the Herald) for the transfer of the keeping of the park from its ordinary guardians to the police authorities, and as many of the former as are efficient will be enrolled in the police force. Whether the main avenues will be lighted by gas is not yet decided, as there are obvious difficulties in the way ; but the drives at least will receive that additional security. We under stand that one useful result will follow from the destruc tion of the old park railings. The opportunity will be seised for the carrying out of a very much needed reform --the widening of Park-lane. FIRE AT STRATTORD.—A fire took place last night in the premises of Mr. Bailey, an eating-house keeper, • on business at No. 64, High-street, Stratford.

LAUNCH Or A LIPEDOAT AT MAROATE.—The cere mony of launching a new lifeboat, prevented to the Na tional Lifeboat Institution by the proprietors of the Quiver magazine, took pion at liberate yesterday afternoon, in the presenoeof from 15,000 to 20,000 peen& Eight months since the Rev. Teignmonth Shore, M.A., the editor of the Quiser, made an appeal to his readers in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and the result was the con tribution of about 2,0001., which is sufficient to defray the entire coat of three lifeboat stations, and Margate was selected se the destiaation of the first boat. Mrs. Canon Bateman christened the boat " The Quiver." Addressee were delivered by Alderman Standing (who represented the mayor), the Rev. T. Shore. Mr. J. B. Flint 1a member of the local committee). and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the National Lifeboat lastitution, who, on behalf of the institution, thanked the dowers and sub scribers for their munificent gift, and the midair's sad visitors for the reception they had given the heat. - 1 idiszd: I P-1 COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARK-LANK.-(THIS DAY.) The receipts of homegrown wheat fresh 'op to our market to-day were only moderate. As regents prices the trade was firm. and Monday's quotations were fully exp. ported ; but the total amoont of hominess effected was by no means extensive. There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on the stands for all descriptions ; the trade ruled firm, at fully late rates. _ Flaming cargoes of grain moved off slowly on former terms. The show of barley wee moderate. Sales progressed slowly ; but no change took place in the currencies. Malt was heavy, but not cheaper. The market was well supplied with cats, but the bulk of the supply was composed of foreign produce. Nino parcels found buyers, at prices equal to Mondry. Inferior qualities commanded scarcely any attention, at about the recent decline in the quotations. The inquiry for beans was heavy, at late rates. Pees were dull, on former terms. The flour trade was quiet, at stationary prices. Linseed wsa firm, and rapeseed was In fair request. otherwise the demand for seeds was in a sluggish state. Oakes were dull. O&TI a.
