DARING SHOP ROBBTRY. lltizabeth Smith, 27, bootaloser, and Mira Smith, 14, sere indicted for stealing a cape, the property of Matthew Lill and another. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. John Garr, an assistant to Matthew Lill, pawn broker, of Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell, saw the pH WWI and another loitering about the shop. He missed the silk car produced from outride the door, and saw all three running together. He caught the eldest prisoner, and she boy took the other (Eliza). The cape was found on the prusioer Eliza.

Alfred GilcArist, 67, described in the calendar as a watchmaker, was placed at the liar charged with a whole sale robbery of watches. Mr. R. Grain prosecuted ; Mr. M. Williams (instructed by Mr. Pain) defended the prisoner, who pleaded guilty. This was a very extenaive system of robbery. The pri soner had received a large number of watches to repair, sad while they were in his charge he pawned them and appropriated the proceeds to his own use. The prisoner's defence was that he yawned the watches while under the influence of liquor without any felonious intention. Mr. Payne, after commenting upon the prisoner's con duct, sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 calendar mouths. THE PQLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL. THE Wl= OP " COUNSILLOR [ILLY," OF TES GMAT CITY BURGLARIBS, IN TROUBLIL Ann Cawley, alias Kelly, an" unfortunate woman," who me her address 17 Barnsbury-road, lalington, was before Mr. D'Eyncourt, on remand, with stealing a cheesed bar of the Peacock public-house, High-street, Islington, Is. 6d., the monies of Daniel Mayo, cabinet maker, of 21, Charlotte-terrace, Islington. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn reed, defended. The prisoner, on the night of the Ist of August, was is the above public-house along with another woman, drinking, and the prosecutor was also there, drinking with • friend. The women got into asnvereation with the prosecutor, and he was induced to treat them to a quarters of brandy. He paid for the liquor with half • crown, and when the change was put down the prisoner took it up. She kept it for some time, and then as she would not give it up he celled in Police-constable Cruse, 360 N, and gave her into custody. The litigator, who was • little the worse for liquor, went quietly . to the police-station, and when there she was recognised by Polioe-sergeant Taylor, 33 N, who said that the prisoner was the wife of " Counsellor Kelly," who was smartened of being concerned in the committal of the great City burglaries. The prisoner has had four years' penal servitude for felony, and was about nine months since sent from this court to the House of Correction for six months on • charge of stealing from the peison near the same spot at which she committed the robbery. When the prisoner was first before the court Mr. D Eyncourt asked her whether she would have the case sent for trial or have it settled at once, telling her that if she wished him to settle the matter she would have to plead guilty, and this she did with the greatest readiness. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, now attended for the defence, and said the prosecutor was not now in attendance, and though the prisoner had pleaded guilty to the charge he did not think that the magistrate would take notice of that, as the prisoner pleaded in that way to save herself from being sent to the sessions. The fact was that the prosecutor and the prisoner were drinking together, and each had treated the other, and then the prisoner had aken the change up, thinking it was her own. She did not want to steal so paltry a sum as that mentioned in the charge, as when she was locked up he (Mr. Ricketts) was instructed she had • large sum in her possession. Kr. D'Eyneourt discharged the prisoner, and she hastily left the court. SOUTHWARK. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A " FAST" YOUNG AN George Firth, 18, was placed at the bar, charged with robbing his father of a Urge sum of money and attempting to incite his father's shopman to rob him under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances: Mr. George Richard Firth, bootmaker,224,Westminster bridge-road, said that unfortunately the prisoner was his eon, and until yesterday had been one of his assistants. On the 31st ult. witness placed a sovereign on a shelf in the till, locked it up, and put the key in his pocket. The prisoner called his attention to the front shop • little afterwards, and witness left him. In the evening he missed the sove reign, and feeling confident he had stolen it, as wall as some boots, be advised him to leave, and he did so on Saturday. Walton had engaged another ehopman in his place, named Rolfe, and from information received from him he called in the police, and he was given into custody. Rolfe headed Winces • key which fitted the till better than his own, which his son had advised him to use to rob him. Witness had since ascertained that his son had been living with • Wait girl who left his service some months ago. William Rolfe said he was assistant to the prosecutor, basing entered his service on Saturday last. He then saw the prisoner who told him he could make • man of his. Witness asked him, " How was that." He told him be Gould soon put • hundred to a hundred and fifty peen& in his pocket, and on witness asking him how he maid do that he took the key produced from his pocket,and said that would unlock his father's till, and that witness could take 41. or rd. a day from his father's till without hie knowledge, and added that all he should require in Mara was 11. • week to say nothing about it. The pri mer also told him that he had taken upwards of 701. ant of the till. As soon as witness saw the prosecutor he Loaded him the key, and told him of the conversation he led had with his son. Police-constable 71 V said he found the prisoner living *tit I female in fashionable lodgings at Battersea The mom wan filled with costly furniture. The boxes and drawers were also filled with new clothes and linen. When told of the charge he denied it, but he afterwards admitted all that Rolfe had said was true. The prisoner, in the most impudent manner, said the furniture and clothes belonged to the landlady of the house. They had not been bought with his father's money. The magistrate told him be was • very bad young man, And committed him for trial. WANDSWORTH. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. Marlin Van Buren, of No. 17, Blenheim terrace, Kensington, and his wife, Mra. Van Bunn , surrendered to their b a il t o f ur th er answer the charge of conspiring together to defraud Mr. Thomas Offer Clark, an uphol sterer, at Clapham, of • quantity of furniture, be., of the ulna of 441. Kr. L. Lewis again appeared for the prosecution, and en this o ccas i on M r . T owne a tt en d e d for the defenda nts. Kr. Lewis said be should be able to prove that Mr. Van 11 4 rim at one time held • • position at Cremorem-gardens, last at another time he was a licensed victualler, and that be bad been in difficulties. Mr. Ingham thought it was scarcely necessary to go into taws particulars. The question was, whether Mr. Van •nin was au-lying on the business of • merchant in the `4/ **the time when the goods were obtained. A man sue' be a paupe r to-day and • millionaire to-morrow. • William Hollingsworth, an esetioneeur, of High Hot- Pin, was called to prove that in April last, after the so ' ssPhnoe of the bill of exchange, be advanced 621. to Mr. sae Buren, on the furniture at No. 17, Blenheins ' its bill of sale. In the deed the defendant MSS d escribed 11 a commission agent. The furniture was worth between Mt and 1001. The sum of 161. 10s. had been paid off in • 411 instalments. 11 . r. Lewis then stated that his other witness had not 'Shaded, and he asked for another adjoornment. Kr. Towne submitted whether there was any case. It wee„ matter of serious impo r tance to Mr. Van Buren to tsar under the charge. The goods were obtained by , Van Buren at the time when her husband had n o filimet in them. Xt. Lewis said he should be able to wove that they w ere engaged to be married when the goods were °Maine& Kr.

Towne) submitted that the taking of that bill settled the former transaction. Mr. Ingham—lf the bill was available for payment, but if not it was only a piece of paper. Mr. Towns then argued that when the bill was accepted it became an entirely new transaction, and said it was not until the prosecutor found out that Mr. Van Buren was in difficulties that he put the criminal law in force. Mr. Ingham said that if he were asked whether it were • light case he should say it was, but it was not one which he could withdraw from • jury. Two witnesses were then c all ed by Mr. Towne, but they failed to prove that Mr. Van Buren carried on the busi ness of • merchant in the City when the goods were ob tained. They proved, however, that he carried on the business of a commission agent, and that he used the offices of the witnesses in the City, but that his own name was not op. One of the witnesses showed that Mr. Van Buren was entitled to • sum of 3121. for commission from • company who had • patent beer engine. Mr. John Vickers a wine and spirit merchant, of King William-street, was'also called by Mr. Towne. He stated that he had known Mr. Van Boren for 20 years. In Oc tober last the defendant was agent for a patent beer en gine. He had known him keep public-houses and as • public man for many years. Mr. Lewis endeavoured to confine the prosecution to the male defendant, on the ground that lie believed Mrs. Van Buren had been deceived by Mr. Van Buren., who, no doubt, told her that he was a merchant in the City • but as the alleged false statement was made by him after the goods were obtained, the magistrate thought the case could not proceed unless both were charged. The defendants were then remanded for another week, bail being again accepted. SHARE L. !I$ DAY.) [AL GO, azuoluL Om o'Ca.ocx. W,OOO DelikhUolat. Op. cs.,ld7s A 000 De. 11106 ~..

Afilffita!Xs Visrr.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty arrived at the dockyard at half-past five ; this afternoon from Sheernes s , on board the paddle-wheel M steam yacht Enchantress, Commander Petley, and their Si lordships were received on disembarking at the jetty by a Si royal salute from the Fisgard flag ship, but in consequence El of the late hour of their arrival it was decided to defer 11 ., the usual annual inspection of the several departments. ; The trip from Sheerness this afternoon was, it is stated, taken chiefly for the purpose of testing the speed of a new screw man-of-war, recently built at M' wall for the Belgian government, as against the speed of the Enchan tress. This new vessel will have an armament of ruled guns, with the improved slides and other arrangements, to fire rapidly at all points, and in consequence of many peculiarities in her construction she was en especial object of interest to their lord ships. The result of the trial fully proved the power of her screw machinery, as she ran far ahead of the Enchantress, which is one of the fastest vessels in the royal navy, and maintained the same rate of speed j throughout the trip. The Megzera, steam troopship, is now s in dry dock at this yard, for repairs, and her crew are berthed on board one of the government hulks in the river. Essex YEMIANlT.—The the battery of Artillery attached,will seem le on Monday, the 17th September, at Waltham Abbey, for eight days' permanent duty, and for inspection by a field officer in her Majesty's service.

BURGLARS CONYICTRD BY • PARROT.—At the Liverpool assizes yesterday two burglars, named Edge and Thornton, were charged with a burglary at a house in Everton. The prisoners had entered the house and bad stolen some money. An alarm was given by a parrot in the house, and the prisoners were apprehended shout 100 yards from the premises. The brutal fellows had cut off one of the legs of the parrot, but when apprehended had in their possession a knife stained with blood, and with one of the parrot's feathers in it. The prisoners, who bad undergone penal servitude for several previous offences, made a most elaborate defence. During the hearing of the case Edge twitted the doctor upon not knoa:ng whether the blood on the knife was that of a cow or a parrot, after having examined it through a " telescope." He also accused the policeman of perjury, and said that when before the magistrates the policeman's cheeks burned " like a furnace borne—down to the lowest depths of hell." His lordship (Mr. Baron Martin) sentenced each of the prisoner. to 20 years' penal servitude. FRIGHTFUL AOCIDINT ON Till MIDLAND RAIL wAr.—On Tuesday evening a fatal accident occurred at Hesston station, on the Midland Railway, near Notting ham. It appears that on the eveninvin question Mr. Smedley, a superannuated *salesman, hying at Stapleford, bad gone to Benton station, a distance of three miles, to meet his wife. Instead of going direct to the station be took a short cut and went down a footpath which leads on to the line, a short distance above the platform. It is supposed that he then walked between the rails, and the express train from London coming up rapidly at that mo ment, he was knocked down with great violence and lite rally cut to pieces. The unfortunate man was rather deaf, and, the wind being high at the time , he was nn able to hear the approach of the train. GATZEI OF DRAYS. —The Registrar-General's re turns distinguish more than 100 several causes of death, but except in great cholera epidemics more than half the deaths of every year in England are from OD* or other of ten causes. In the year 1864, for which the returns have re cently been completed, 53,046 persons died from phthisie, 38,969 from bronchitis, 94,470 from pneumonia,2l,3ll from heart disease. There were 29,498 deaths from old age, and, chiefly at the opposite extreme of life, 26,382 from con. ruinous, and 29,634 from atrophy and debility. 29,700 persons died from scarlatina, 20,106 from typhus, and 16,432 from diarrhea". Year by year these prove the 10 enemies of life. Half a million of persons die in Englan d in a year, and this is the manner of the exit of ha ll the ;anger. Tan Cnounta Misr. —A correspondent of the Tisies, alluding to the alleged existence of what is termed "The Cholera Mist" at Greenwich, says—That a similar mist was observed at Varna at the time of the Crimean war and in the West Indies before the outbreak of the cholera in 1854 a pp ears from the following remarkable mrscp p h e , T e principal rksoted from a paper upon Asiatic cholera by , medl &Boer to the Great Western Railway Company. The paper alluded to was printed fur private circulation on the 22nd ult. Dr. Cooper remarks : " The existence of this atmospheric ma has more than once been obseryed. A thin bluish base was seen to hang over Varna at the time of the Crimean war, by the persons en board oar men-of-war, lying on that place, just before the outbreak of the Asiatic cholera there. The same thing, I satisfied myself upon the independent testimony of persons at three different spots in St. Christopher, was seen Just prior to the outbreak of the disease in that island in November, 1854, and this fact was fully set forth by me in my report to the government upon the outbreak of cholera in that place. It was described by all as ' a thin transparent bluish bass hawing over the spot, and not affected by the wind.' All the =idea= agreed precisely in every partisular as to the appessanes, time, ke..altheeigh minimums= had had no cammannatien time , with an other upon the subject.

In both Illinois and Edo shares the trans iv:tiros have been of conaiderelde magaitedo, liege pod - chases having been made for expectation to AIN6IIII. Mi nsk shares remain without alteration at 70 to TEL but the 'announcement that no dividend would be paid on Erie shares this half-year has had a prejudicial effect on the stock, which clots@ 404 to 11, or about 2 dole. lower. In the case of both Illinois and Erie shares our market is now relatively somewhat lower than New York. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,8331., compared with the corresponding period of last year; the Midland, an increase of 1,2641. ; and the Metropolitan, an increase of 1,2331. The arguments in the case of Overend, thirney. and Co., ex-parte Griasell were concluded yester day before the Lord Chancellor and the two Lords earing Justices, allof whom hadexpressly attended to hear the suit on account of its ge neral importance. After h Sir Rounded Palmer and Mr. Wickens for Mr. Grissell, and Mr. Body and Mr. Roxburgh for the liquidators, the court announced that itwould give udgment to-morrow. This is an appeal from a ju dgment of Vice-Chancellor Kin- Ors The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is limited, and prices have again receded in some cases. The funds, in which the monthly settlement is now in course of completion, are unchanged for money, but have declined per cent. for the account. Foreign stocks and British railways have likewise given way, and most other securities are flat. The Bank of England rate of discount remains at 10 per cent. It was not expected, however, that the directors would make any change to-day, it being generally believed that the accounts of the establishment show no improvement compared with those of last week. It is understood that the deputatiom from the London joint-stock banks will wait upon the Chan cellor of the Excheqer to-day or to-morrow, to ask the government to authorise the directors of the Bank of England to retain the letter of license, in the event of a reduction being made in the rate of discount. &inky delivered last week, and involves • prin ciple of great importance. The general meeting of the Great Northern Lon don Cemetery Company is called for the 25th instant, and that of the Surrey and &WI Junc tion Railway Company for the 28th. With reference to the market for bides and leather, the monthly circular of Mews. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co. contains the following : The hide market has been veep quiet during the past month • the continuance of the high rate of disoount restrict; operations, and prices generally have had a down ward tendency.

Ent India kips have been in limited request, the hone trade having bought very sparingly, while for export the demand continues very re stricted, and prices may be quoted id. to Id. per lb. lower. English market hides have been in fsec demand. The ; leather marks:: is reported as quiet, but steady, with no material alteration to notice in quotations. The subjoined report on the silk market is ex tracted from the circular of Messrs. Durant and Co. : Arrangements having been made in connexion with the large amount of Indian paper which will arrive at maturity to-morrow, the demand for money has diminished, but the general charge is dill about 9 per cent. Consols are now quoted 871 to 1 for money, and 881 to for the account (September). Turkish Bonds of 1865 and Italian of 1861 are heavy, and have declined about }per cent.; Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Mex ican, are also lower. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 48 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 26/ to I ; Greek, 11 to ; Spanish Passive, 14 to 191; ditto Certificates, 131 to 141 ; Italian of 1861, 50 to ; Brazilian scrip, to 4 dig. ; and Mexican, 161 to}. United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway shares have receded per cent., but Illinois Cen tral have improved to that extent. The present quotations are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 681 to f ; Erie Railway shares, 401 to ; and Illinois Cen tral, 75 to /. Anglo-American Telegraph abases are quoted 111 to I, being 10a. lower, and Atlantic Telegraph 31 to 1, showing a decline of is. 3d. International Financial shares are quoted 2 to 11 dig. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dig. ; General Credit, 2 to If dig. ; and Credit Fonder, 3E to I din. The gold operations at the Bank yesterday com prised the influx of 17,0001., and the withdrawal of a further parcel of 15 0 , 001 sovereigns for Brazil. During the week 266,0001. has been sent in, and 316,0031. taken out for exportation. Coin has probably also been taken for transmission to the provinces in connection with the harvest. The steamer Douro will take to-day 324,5701. in gold (including 301,0001. withdrawn from the Bank on Tuesday and yesterday) for Brazil and Buenos Ayres, and 7,0001. in silver. The steamer Mandinp, from the West Coast of Africa, has brought about 10,0001. in gold dust and specie. The French mail steamer Imperatrice Eugenie has reached St. Nasaire from Vera Cruz, with 283,00 W. in silver, a large portion of which is probably on English account. The private advices from Bucharest announce a decided improvement in the political situation. The revolutionaryelement has been discarded from the ministry, and a strong administration has been formed under the auspices of Prince John Stirbey, Foreign Affairs ; Prince John Ghika, Interior ; L I M. Mavroyeni, Finance, ito. The programme of the new ministry is stated to be per fect neutrality and immediate reduction in the military expenditure. There are still some difficulties with regard to the recognition of Prince Charles by the Porte, the latter having put forward several untenable conditions ; but there is little doubt that the question will be speedily and amicably adjusted. Much financial pressure still prevail' in the Principalities, and several local failures have been announced. It is satisfactory, I therefore, to find that the instalments due every month for the interest and sinking fund of the Danubian Loan are regularly met. The accounts respecting the crops are conflicting. In some parts they are reported to have suffered from drought, but in general the wheat harvest appears to have been unusually abundant. It is understood that the United States and Ca nadian governments have assented to the forma tion of an international commission, for the of reducing the obstacles in the way of a re l v ri eZmtmt of the frontier trade of the two coun tries. Montreal is spoken of as the place of meet ing ; where it is understood that representatives of the leading American and Canadian railways that connect one another at Detroit, Portland, Niagara, l ead other places, will be invited to meet the com missioners, in order to facilate their measures. The following circular has been addressed by Mr. Coleman, the o ffi cial liquidator, to the credi tors and shareholders of the Bank of London. It is understood that the proposed dividend will be paid on the 27th and 28th of the present month : Sir, -The order for winding up this bank was made on the 2nd of June last, and I was appointed official liqui dator on the sth of the U M. month ; but owing to the litigation which arose in reference to the arrangement with the Consolidated Bank, it was not until the 2nd of July that I had full control over the assets of the Bank of London. Since that period I have devoted my con stant attention to their realisation so se to pay a dividend at as early • period as possible, and I am glad to state that my efforts have been so far successful that I have been enabled this day to obtain the sanction of the court to ir•y a first dividend of 6s. Rd. in the pound towards the end ot the present month . lam also happy to inform yod that the liabilities of the bank, which stood at the time of its suspension at 3,541,532/. 14.. 9d., are now reduced to 1,520,789/. 7s. 4d. The progress already made in the realisation leads me to hope that before the close of the year the estate will be enabled to pay another dividend, and I propose &terrific until then the publication of • s.atement of the poction and future pr.:affects of the drags of the bank, because the liabilities are likely to be further reduced by that time ; I then shall be able to give 1.1"1"°‘ Ave"? t-eals. 5°417 ' - ‘ l " Nle listall ' l " . 1 positive information as_ to the deferred emote than I -Gems Western, 611-Leaceshir• and Yortgare, Meat m ore loadou and North Western. 11611 1 1-Manchester, have at present the means of doing.-I am, Ned Ilecc4n, Hi s d-Metropolitamitni 1-Bciath Eastern. dog J.

We have firm prices in silk at fully 10 per cent. above the lowest moment, but the market is comparatively quiet. All was gay and buoyant for some days at about the period of the last mail, but far the last week we have had decidedly less husiumi, and this notwithstanding con tinually diminishing prospects as to supply. The crop of Europe it is now thought may warmly exceed es a whole that of last year, while the shipments from China, accord ing to the latest telegrams, are seemly likely to reach 50,000 bales, exclusive of Japan. The deliveries are Tether less miserable, but still far from satisfactory. We shall need considerable improvement even should present am donee anticipations of supply prove to be correct. In Japan silk there is good demand for the fine and better classes, with only a very moderate stock. Bengal silk par ticipated fully in the improved business while it was doing, and now share, in the comparative quiet. _ WEDNESDAY WINING.
