The great City tars:pintas in connexion with the s i ath Eastern Railway was opened this morn jog foe public traSe. The event 1.611 signalised by the display of a number of Bp outside the building ; whilst the profusion of colours exhibited within the station evinced a desire to render the omission one of &festive character. The station itself amyl be said to be complete ; and its vast extent and gigantic glass roof of one span render it one of the leading features of the m etropolis. The hotel, through which the passengers have t o mu to reach the station, as at Charing-cross, and which forms the front toCannon-street, is not yet finished, bet when it is it will present a noble specimen of archi tecture after the designs of Mr. Barry. The various booking offices and waiting-rooms are replete with socsommo dation ; and it is stated that ample arrangements have been made for the reception of about 20,000,000 passen gers yearly. To carry out such an undertaking pest foresight must be required, as was shown throughout this morning by the frequent blocks caused by the number of trains arriving or departing. To avoid a repetition of the delay experienced by the passengers to day much remains to be done. Mr. Eborall, the general manager, was in attendance during the morning giving imuuctions as to the working of the trains and signals, the latter being of a very complicated nature. The local trains between Charing-cross and Cannon-street were an nounced to ran about every five minutes, but to accom plish that is at present an impossibility, unless the main line service be partially stopped. Trains also run from Cannonatreet to Dover, Folkestone, Ramsgate, Margate, Hastings, St. Leonard', due. •'.'`,. ~, . STRANGE SUICIDE OF A GERMAN IN THE THAMES. Mr. Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the Wellington Tavern, John-street, Lime house, last evening, relative to the suicide of a German, lamed John Pops, aged 28 years. Mary Pope, 1, Devonshire-place, Balham-hill, sister of the demased, said that he wan a cooper , and lived in Westminster. On Saturday week she received from him the following letter, written In German, and intimating his determination to commit suicide : " 8, St. John's-street, Westminster. "My dear Mary,—l tell you that I leave London in one boar. Go the first day you can to my landlord, and get my thinp, and pay him 3s. Go to my workshop and tell them to mil my tools, and give you the money. Go to Mr. —, at 12, Foot-street, City•road, and tell him, and he vffi give you Ms. out of the bank. In the pocket of my coat you will find all my pawntickete ; sell them or get the things out just as you like. And now, Mary, farewell hr ever.—Your affectionate brother, Josill POPE." Witness did not know why he committed suicide. He bud spokes about being in want of work, and fearing that L should have to do in England what they do in Germany —travel from place to place for employment. Mr. Spechley, deceased's landlord, said that deceased's mind was disturbed by hearing that his father had married t third wife in Germany. He had threatened his father conmpenoe. Inspector Forfar deposed that deceased's body was found o the Thames on Wednesday last with only a pair of boots ea. All the rest of his clothes were found in a bundle at Phosstead marehes on Saturday last. The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state of unsound mind." MARYLEBONE.

The 404 , 01' stared that the prisoner entered the eta tket a y before the arrival at the Margate train, and es, was walking along the arrival platform when witness et. stopped him, and told him he could not be allowed to go et. that way. The prisoner said he wanted to meet a friend elkat• who was to oeme by the Margate train. Witness told him that was the wrong aide, and pointed to the place where the et train would arrive. The lamps were lighted at that part gs, of the platform, but where the prisoner stood it was all 80. in darkness. The prisoner went to the proper place and St waited till the train came in. After the train was ft.. cleared he again came up to witness, and said " Do you know what I could do to such • thing ea you 94 . I Gould knock you down and jump your - i 18 inside out !" at the same time striking him ilO in the Seca A struggle ensued, and with the help of • 101 porter and a police-eonstable the prisoner was at last re- , 104 moved to the station-house. He used a great deal of bad language. I - n - Thomu Archer, the office porter, said that when he gt. tante to the inspector's assistance the prisoner struck at ti him, but he warded off the blow. et Crelius Rudman, 81 F, who took the prisoner to the 5 station, said that he continued to use the same sort of language as was mentioned by the inspector, not only on I a. the way to the station, but in the cell during the greater 94. part of the night. Inspector Brannan said the prisoner wee the worse for , 10 he prisoner admitted that be was the worse for liquor, and had said more than he ought. He thought he was Ile entitled to go to meet his friend, and he was irritated at being interfered with. He denied that he struck the in- St. speetor, who, however, knocked him down. " et The inspector said there was no objection to the pri saner going to the part of the platform where the train B, was to arrive, but it would be dangerous to allow strangers ! 84, to go blundering about in the dark in parts of the eta- ; St. Lion not open to the public. He denied that he struck ;tr the prisoner ; they fell together in the course of the Bt. struggle. I el " Mr. Flowers said with the evidence of three witnesses 8 , before him he could not doubt that the prisoner struck jg the inspector. The prisoner denied it, and though he was not on his oath, he (Mr. Flowers) paid every attention to what he said, being reluctant to believe that a man would tell a lie under such circumstances. iti The prisoner—lf I had struck him I would freely own it. I would not tell a lie about it for 51. 10 SI "Mr. Flowers—Then why should he! A young woman named Margaret Humphrey here came forward and tendered her evidence. She said she went to the station with the prisoner to meet her husband, and went down the platform a little in advance of him. She turned round to see if he was following her, and saw him lying on the platform, the inspector having knocked bim down. She would swear that he did not strike the inspector. Mr. Flower,-How can you know that if you had your Lack turned it was not a minute. Mr. Flowers—lt was long enough for him to be knocked I down. George William Humphrey, husband of the last wit- , , nes, here came forward, saying that he saw the whole , affair from the beginning. Mr. Flowers—They did not seem to know that you had arrived. The witness replied that he did not come by that train, but by one that arrived at London-bridge an hour and a half earlier. In the meanwhile he had been home, and find ing his wife was gone to Charing-cross he followed. He described an extraordinary scene of confusion. in which 12 or 14 persons joined in knocking the prisoner about and when be remonstrated with them for their brutality, two of them seized him, flung him on the ground, kicked him, and told him that was all he got by interfering. Mr. Flowers said it was extraordinary that his wife said nothing of all this. The prisoner must pay 10s., or be imprisoned seven days. He was liable to a fine for going there drank at all.

Gin o'CLooz. The share markets are somewhat flatter to-day, the decline yesterday in the foreign exchanges and the withdrawal of gold from the Bank for New York having induced some speculative realisations. The advance in prices during the last few days has been so great that no surprise can well be expressed at the present reaction. Consols have declined 1-16th to 1 per cent. In the rail way department a serious fall has occurred in London, Chatham, and Dover stock, the disclosures made at yesterday's meeting being regarded as very unsatisfactory. Some of the other lines have also receded. London, Brighton, and South Coast stock, however, is still inquired for, upon a rumour that an amicable arrangement has been effected with the South Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover companies. The reduction in foreign securities is confined to a few descriptions. Banking and financial shares, which have hardly participated in the recent improvement, are in request, and exhibit an upward tendency. The discount market is quiet to-day, and choice paper is taken at sto 5,1 per cent. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short advances on English government securities is per cent. Consols are now quoted 891 to for money and 891 for the 6th of September. Spanish Passive and Certificates have receded per cent., but Turkish of 1865, Greek and Italian of 1861 are in demand, and have risen 1 to I. Turkish of 1862 are quoted 49 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 27/ to 1 ; Greek, 151 to ; Spanish Pas sive, 231 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 14 to 161 ; Italian, of 1861, 55 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 11 to 11 die. ; and Mexican, 16 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Central Railway shares have declined per cent., the pre sent quotations being 73 to 1 and 791 to 80, respectively. Erie, however, are steady, at 45/ to 461. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted mi to Ilk, and Atlantic Telegraph, 3i to 1, show ing no change in either case. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to die. ; London Financial, 14 to 13 dia. ; 'leneral Credit, 11 to 111 die. ; Credit Fancier, 21 to da. ; and National Discount, si to 10 prem. - 78 106 - 791 9 90 gs ... 1061 25 f 11 1 I -id Two o'CLoca. Consols are fractionally better, at 891 to 4, both roe money and the 6th inst., and 891 to 4 for the new account. About 61,0001. in bar gold and 51,000 sovereigns were sent into the Bank yesterday, while 140,0001. l in American eagles were withdrawn for transmis al sion to New York by the steamer which will leave Liverpool to-day. The steamer Rhone, from Brasil, has reaches Southampton, with 49,6231. in specie. The Java, from New York, has also brought 8,0001. The foreign exchanges were generally somewhat lower yesterday, owing to the decline in the value of money here. Subjoined is our usual list : Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.0 to 12.0% ; ditto, short, 11.18 to 11.19 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.0 to 12. 1 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.55 to 25.60 ; Brussels, 3 months, 25.55 to 25.60; Hamburg and Altana, 3 months, 13.9% to 13.10 ; Berlin, Cologne, he-, 3 months. 6.28 to 6.291; St. Petersburg, 3 months, 281 to 28% ; Paris,short, 25.21% to 25.32% ; ditto, 3 months, 25.45 to 25.52% ; Mar seilles, 3 months 2 5 .45 to 25.52% ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 120. to 1201 ; Vienna, 3 months, 1 3. 25 to 13.35; Trieste, 3 months, 13.25 to 13.35; Madrid, 3 months, 45 to 441 ; Santander, 3 months, 45 to 441 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 46 1 to 46 ; Seville, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Malaga, S 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Valencia, 3 months, 46% to 46 ; Bar celona., 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Bilbao, 3 months, 463 to 46 ; Saragoosa, 3 months, 46% to 46 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 27.20 to 27.40 ; Genoa, 3 months, 27.20 to 27.40 ; Naples, 3 months, 27.20 to 27.40 ; Palermo, 3 months, 27.20 to 27.40 ; Messina, :i months, 27.20 to 27.40 ; Lisbon, dill 90 days' date, 51f to 51 3 ; Oporto , 90 days' date, 51% to 511.

In connection with the fortnightly settlement in the Stock Exchange the failure has been announced of a broker, but his liabilities are understood to be zd limited. His difficulties are stated to have been caused by some extensive operations for a fall in British railway securities. A meeting of the shareholders in the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, convened by the (Us liquidators, to make a call of 5/. per share, was held yesterday, when Mr. Young, one of the liqui dators, submitted and explained a full statement of the affairs of the undertaking. It appears that the liabilities, which at the commencement of his appointment on the 11th of May, amounted to 4,651,0001., have since been reduced to 2,750,000/., on which a dividend will have to be paid. The reduction in the commitments arises to a large extent from the satisfactory arrangements which the liquidators have made with parties to whom the association was under contract to advance money. The figures originally standing at up wards of 400,0001., the liquidators have reduced to about 100,0001., without imperilling the secu rities. The other reductions were by the realisation of securities and the running off of bills. Finally, the call of 5/., which is payable on the 21st of September, was agreed to, and a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Ball, one of the liqui dators, who occupied the chair, and to Mr. Young, for the candid and lucid statement which he had placed before the meeting. At the meeting yesterday of the London and Glas gow Engineering and Iron Ship-building Company (Limited) the report, which was adopted, stated that in January last all branches of the company's business were in full operation, and that the direc tors, looking at the amount of work performed, considered the position of the undertaking such as to warrant them in recommending the payment of an interim dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. It was anticipated that a larger amount would be available for division at the end of the financial year, on the 30th of June last, but acombination of exceptional circumstances, including the strike in the ship building trade on the Clyde (now at an end), and the monetary crisis, has prevented the realisation of this anticipation. Although the accounts do not permit the declara tion of a further dividend this year, 1,0001. has been written off tie preliminary expenses, and 3441. is left to be carried forward, after allow ing for the distribution already made. The direc tors were recommended to reduce the nominal value of the shares from 501., with 201. paid, to 101., with a proportionate amount paid. We are requested to state that Mr. R. M. Sandeman will to-day commence business as a billbroker at 7, Nicholas-lane, Lombard-street. A petition for the winding up of Charles Latta and Co. (Limited) is to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the 3rd of November. A call of 11. is to be paid by the 29th September on the preference shares of tie Malta and Mediter ranean Gas Company (Limited). A general meeting of the Varna Railway Com pany will be held on the 12th September. The subjoined memorandum refers to the Delhi Railway : The sum of 207,000 f. ham been peel up to this date to the credit of the Secretary of Siete for India, en amount of the si ll of 31. per share recently made, including -.went& in asitioipsnms.
