THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. FRAUD UPON AN EMPLOYER. phiup Carcase, a print-oolourer, residing at 24, Mildmay street, Balls-pond, Islington, was charged before Alderman Dais with stealing, within the leak three months, various sums of money belonging to his employer, with which he bad been entrusted to paT the work-people. G eo rge A. H. Dean said he was a publisher, autrying on twines, at 65, Ludgate-hill, and the prisoner was a priat-oolourer, and wail employed partly as a foreman re that department. He kept the work-book, and entered in it the particulars of the work done in print colouring, and be also entered against each person's name the amount due to them for work done. It was also his duty to get the w orkpeople to sign the book for the money paid them. The book was made up to Friday night, and the money paid on S a turday morning. The book was handed to him first, th e n passed to the ambler, and by him the money wa s banded to the prisoner to pay the workpeopla. le that book there were entries of payments ma de to Miss Yates of to. 3d. on the 25th of August, and tia on the Ist of September. There were also entries of the following payments to a Miss Dudge of 6s. 70. on the 30th of June ; 12s. 3d. on the 7th of July ; and 4s. 6d. on the 14th of July. MiesYstes said that on the week when she was put down for to. 3d. the prisoner discharged her suddenly on the Wednesday, and paid her only le. 6d. On the Ist of September, when he charged 9s. as paid to her, he never ca ttier anything, and it was not her signature to the Wks Dudge turned out to be a little child who lived and worked with her father, and of such tender years that it is doubtful whether she will be examined on oath at all. She maid not earn more than 4s. per week. At this stage of the prooeedings the prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. THE TRAVELLING POST-OPPICt Edward Barrow, a travelling clerk in the General Post office, was charged with stealing a letter containing half a sovereign and 12 penny postage-stamp • in the sorting car inge on the journey from London to Ipswich. Yr. Mulock, travelling inspector, General Post-office, stated that in consequence of the loss of several letters from the Ipswich sorting carriages he was directed to make up a test letter, which he did on Saturday, Ist inst., enclosing in it a half sovereign and twelve stamps all marked. The half-sovereign was 'amused to a printed card. It was addressed to lira. A. Wallerty, Stole - inn, Stole . He gave it to Mr. Munro, to deepatah by the Ipswich carriage. At half-past 10 o'clock the same night witness was in the Ipswich Post-office when the Soule bag was brought in. He searched it and could not find the letter which in due course ought to have been there. The prisoner was one of the second class trevelling clerks employed on the London and Ipswich and London sad Cambridge lines. On the present occasion he was e mployed on the Ipswich line, and it would have been his daty to sort the letters in question. Witness afterwards interrogated him, when he said that he sorted the letters for the Scots and Stowmarket bags, and that Mr. Seal (senior clerk),and Gurr(sorter),whe were the onlyother per sons in the carriage, d id not interfere with the sot ging of those begs; but Mr. Sea l tied up one or two packets. He said that he went to the Railway Inn at Ipswich with Mr. Seal and Garr, and that he changed a sovereign there. He was searched by the officer Cocker, who found on him 1/. 10s. in gold and 9s. in silver. Witness informed him that the barmaid at the Railway Inn said he had changed a half sovereign there. Mrs. Fisk, the landlady of the Railway Inn, produced the marked half sovereign, which she had found in the Illid Bird, the barmaid, said she placed in the till the motley received from customers, including the prisoner, Mr. Beal, Gorr, and a gentleman who came the same train. Could not say whether the prisoner paid her with a sovereign or a half sovereign. The strange gentleman paid her at :th a half sovereign. Mr. Minnie, clerk in the comptroller's office General Post.office, Mr.Seal,Gurr the sorter, and Croden, the police constable attached to the pod-office, gave similar evidence on points of detail. In cross-examination Mr. Lewis, for the defence, extorted from Gurr the admission that letters were sometimes found on the lloor of the carriage after wing. . . . . . -- - -. The p r iioaer,who protested his innocence,wu committed far trial. -- -- -- - CLERICMWELL. A FISHMONGER'S SHOP U 4 AN UPROAR. Ellen Long, of 69, Upper Ilemerton-street, Caledonian read, wee summoned before Mr. D'Eyncourt for unlaw fully and wilfully causing damage to a quantity of fist-, the property of Benjamln Hillmer, fried fisheeller, of 23, Clayton-street, Islington. Ile complainant said that he was unoleto the defendant. and on the 30th ult. the defendant oame round to his shop, and he then told her that he wanted to have nothing to say to her but that he should like to see her husband rela tive to some remarks that she had made about his wife. This seemed to arouse her ire, for she took up a whole heap of garnets and threw then, not only at him but about tho place, and his shop, he could assure the magistrate, was quite in an uproar. (A laugh.) She spoiled quite 4a worth of fish, and that was no joke, Lut to make the matter worse, a mob got round the shop and they also joined in the fun. She was violent, and when her mother told her to leave off she would not take any notice of her, and be:Laved in such a way that he thought she was marl, and had she not gone away he should have been driven out of his mind. Both were sober, and that made the matter more strange—(a laugh)—for he had given her no provocation. :he defendant, in rather an excited tone, said that she did not destroy 4s. worth of fish, for that was more than be had in at a time. He threw some fish at her, and of muse she returned the compliment, and should do so sksin if she was insulted. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked the complainant if it was true that he had struck the defendant, and had thrown fish at her. The Complainant—Well, when she struck my wife I did throw s "minute" fish at her, but I am sure I did not hurt her. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he could not decide who was to blame in the matter, and dismissed the summons. The decision was hailed with clapping of hands. WESTMINSTER. A VERY RAD CARE- Thorna Richard Joyce, a b0y,12 years of age,sras charged with embezzling several sums of money from his master. Mr. Charles Ray said he was a cowkeeper carrying on laminas. at 51, Marlborough-road, Chelsea. He bad no children of his own, and the prisoner and five others were orphans, children of his sister. He took them from Tunbral7e-welle three or four years ago, and brought them up for his own. He had now been robbing him of 2e. or 18.4.1. per day for two years, as he took out the milk and never accounted for the sums he had received, sad had been forgiven nine or ten times, twine at the in tercession of the clergy, but he was now an incorrigible thief. He had ti:ed to get him into a reformatory, but they would not take him without he was convicted, and his (sly object in bringing him before the magistrate was to get him sent away. Thee last two nights he had not been in tsslonsceount of the prisoner, and the latter's robberies and had conduct had broken his heart. He was found on the I step of a public-house in Brompton a few months ago, and laid he had not slept in a house for a month, and had had no food for two days. When taken to the station he said who he was, and confessed that he had stolen 19s. sd. from Mr. Ray, alterwar,ls writing out a confession that he had spent the money in sweetstuffs. He had embezzled money did,. since. Police-sergeant 4 B, proved that on the 17th of August loot the prisoner was brought to the station apparently aertitute. lie afterwards confessed that he had embezzled from his uncle various sums, and had been brought to the notion before. The uncle, with tears in his eyes, said he was fond of the boy, and all his relations were the same, but he could not look over this. The prisoner had nothing to say, and after being ad monished by Mr. Selfe, was sent to the Reformatory at Peltluun, for the space of three years. WORSHIP-STREET. INDEPENDENT CAM:Aut. Three hulking fellows, who did not exhibit the slightest l'-mrance of hunger, were charged with tearing up their clothes in the East London Union. Clerk —What is your name? First defendant stuttered frightfully as he replied, " Yeoluall,” and the others, who appeared to know that the impediment was assumed, laughed coarsely and aloud at him ; they gave the names of John Young and Edward Taylor, Dennis, the superintendent of labour, said—Last night these men came to the union as casuals for one night's hliPult. This morning I' found all their clothes torn up. sylor—l'm sure I didn't tear all up. I left my coat. Young —And what you gave us for trousers arn't worth twopence the three pair. I'd be independent on 'em if I had my old 'uns. All three defendants here laughed heartily. , Magistrate—Did they as k f or o th er c l o thes before they Gestroyed their own' Taylor—What's the good of that Dennis—No, sir ; they did not. Ifoaeg—To be sure not. Magistrate —Dud they have anything to eat Dennis—They were supplied with the usual food for steals, (What this is did not transpire.) Magistrate—Well, what have you to say in answer to this charge of tearing up your clothes. Taylor, (as if astonished)—What' Why they were lousy tad we wanted others. I .l :muff—Yes, that's true. L.' "Earl again attempted to speak, but was so long a time w littering a clear wont, that the others again shouted s;th laughter, and manifestly considered it all an excellent joke, but at last Yeoman did succeed in expressing his sorrow for the offence with which he was charged. E lie was sent t o p r i son f or fi ve d ays, an d th e o th ers for WANDSWORTH. 41110tLAB DIMPCTE BETWEEN THE MAGIBRILAIII AND Mt RICHARD MAINE. 4 iNt. Woolgerand G e o rge Pr uenridge, of Wisley, Surrey, *ere summoned by Inspector Usher fors oontauvention of an onler in conncil, dated the 24th of March, 1666, with reference to the cattle plague. On the 2ith ult. the attention of a constable was drawn to a cart driven by Plururidge, in the parish of Putney ,b the noise from a cow which was in it with its legs tied, and nearly covered with straw. The defendant said he was going to take it to Vauxhall, and produced a license signed by Major Coulson for its removal. It being the opinion of Sir Richard Mayne that no cattle can pass into the metropolis without s license from the police, and that the power of a magistrate extended only to the borders, the 'defendants were summoned, Plum ridge for removing and Woolger, who was the agent, for musing the cow to be removed along a highway in the metropolis without a license from the commissioners. Woolger produced the license, and said the error was that of the justice in giving it. Mr. Dayman said he did not think that an error had been committed by the justice. There was a difference of opinion between the magistrates of that court and Si- Richard Mayne about those matters. He be"eved, and his colleague also, that a license from a magistrate was sufficient for cattle to pass through or into the metropolis, but Sir Richard Mayne was of a different opinion. A case had been granted for the Queen's Bench, and they must wait until they heard what the decision was. He then adjourned the summons until the 7th of December next. Sergeant Dudley said he had the commissioners* autho rity to apply for two summonses under similar circum stances. Mr. Hayman in granting the summonses asked the sergeant whether the pohce summoned constables for driving cattle found straying on a highway to the pound. Sergeant Dudley said constables had orders to drive cattle to the pound. Found straying was an offence under the Highway Act. Yr. Da an aid if the order which stated that "No cattle shall be removed" was carried out in a literal sense, the police would be liable to a penalty, as the com missioners had no power or general license. It was not in tended to carry out the orders literally, for in the case of cattle landed from Ireland the certificate was accepted by the justices of England. GREENWICH. COURAGEOUS CAPTURE OF A FRENCH BURGLAR. Louis Victor Deslaadea, aged 30, & Frenchman, was brought up on remand, charged with burglariously enter ing the house of Mr. Robert blade, Myrtle-cottage, Ceme tery-road. Deptford, andstealing vatious articles of silver plate, and other property. It appeared that the prosecutor and his wife were awoke about 2 o'clock in the morning by hearing a sound of a person moving about the house. The prosecutor imuy.- diately got up, and on goin7, to the parlour door he found it pertly open, and that some one was standing against it on the inside. He called out " Who ts there r upon which the prisoner roshed out, but was rred by the throat by the prosecutor and thrown on his back. It was quite dark at the time, and a struggle then took place between the prosecutor and the prisoner, the latter of whom regained his feet twice, but was each time again thrown on his back and hell until a light was procured and other assistance obtained, the prosecutor's wife, while aiding to hold the prisoner, being assaulted by him. When handed over to the custody of police-constable 221 P the prisoner was found to have a large Spanish clasp knife in his band, but vllich fortunately he was deprived of the opportunity of opening and using while struggling with the prosecutor. He was found wearing a coat which had been left banging in the hell ; and in the pocket of an undercoat were found se 'end silver spoons, forks, &c., which bad been taken from the breakfast parlour. On an examination of the premises being made, it was found that an entrance had been effected by cutting out part of a pane of glass, and then opening the window of the breakfast parlour. A door at the rear of the premises had alto been opened to admit of escape ; and from the fact of two jackets and an umbrella being found in the garden, which had been taken from the house, it is thought the prisoner must have had an accomplice. When in the breakfast parlour, a pie was taken from a cupboard and partly eaten, but a bottle of quinine wine, after being tasted, waa left, evidently being unpalatable. Tae prisoner, in answer to the charge, said be had been about a fortnight in England, and had scarcely anything to eat. - . _ _ _ Mr. Traill committed the prisoner for trial at the n .1 Old Bailey sessions. REPRESENTATION OF FALMOUTH. —By the eleva tion of Mr. T. G. Bas:ng to the peerage, a vacancy occurs in the representation of Falmouth (the borough of Penryn and Falmouth). At the general election, last year. Mr. Rea :ng and Mr. Gurney, the members in the preceding porliament, were oppo..ed by General C. F. North on the conservative interest, but were returned. REFORM MEETING AT X FORD. The Oaf ,rd Chronicle announces that on Thursday evening next a publio meeting will be held in the Coln Exchange, under the auspices of the Oxford Reform League, when addresses will ho delivered by Edmond Reales, Emi., M.A., the pre sident of the London Reform League, Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, l'rofessor Rogers, and other friends of the move ment. ••••••-•• NAPOLEON AT ELBA.—San Martino, in the island of Elba, at one tine the residence in exile of Napoleon I. during the years 181445, is to be sold by auction on the 2nd of October. It consists of the imperial villa, pre served in its original condition, and containing many works of art and objects of great historical interest connected with the inipetial era, including the grand statue of Na poleon by Claudet, and paintings by Gerard, Horace Ver net, A. &heifer, liellange, Ratfet, and other eminent artists. . - - ----- THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' CRICKET MATCH AND GALA.—This affair was looked forward to with much intern t, especially by the friends of the two charities — the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum and the School—and it was for the purpose of aiding the funds of the latter that the gathering took place yesterday on the Surrey Ground, Kennington-oval The weather proved fair, a slight shower only occurring. A very extensive marquee (about 300 ft. long) was erected, besides other tents for accommo dation. Certainly the company, which amounted to about 3,000 or 4,000, seemed delighted with the programme. DEATH OF A ST. LEGER HORSE.—One of Mr. John Scott's lot for the St. Leger, Mr. Bowes's Clara., 3 years, the winner of the EborSt. Leger at the recent York meeting, fell dead on Langton Wold on Thursday. Clams, with War, Westwick, and Knight of the Cresceut, took • gallop with Norman up, and went all right ; but on walk ing 50 yards or so afterwards suddenly rolled over on his rider and expired. Death is supposed to have been caused by disease of the heart. SALES OF YEARLINGS AT DONCASTER. —The number of the first-class yearlings to be submitted to the racing public, at Doncaster during the ensuing race meeting will far exceed any former year ; and so nume- I runs ate the commissions that Messrs. Tattersall, the well-known auctioneers, have received that it has been found necessary to appropriate a large paddock in Horse fair for the accommodation of the numerous lots. Messrs. Tattersall will both sell in separate rings on Wednesday (the St. Leger day), and on Thursday ; and on Tuesday and Friday only one of them will sell as usual. The Tuesday's sales will comprise the Whit field stud of yearlinga—Mr. Harrison's, Mr. Watkin's, and other lots. The Wednesday's sale sill include, in the first catalogue, the yearlings of the Tioythorp stud—Lord Scarborough's, Mr. J. Scott's, Mr. Wright's, Mr. Newton's, and Mr. Stephenson's : in the second catalogue, the Mid dleton-one-Row, Mr. Hewitt's, Mr. Graham's, Mr. Morris's, Major Davidson's, Mr. Robertson's, and the Hon. W. Dun combe's. The first catalogue on Thursday will embrace the Earl of Derby's yearlings and lots of the late Earl of Chesterfield, the Sheffield-lane, and Mr. Cookson's ; and the second the Fairfield stud of yearlinspi, Sir 'Patton Sykes's, Mr. Merry's, Mr. PAnson's, Mr. Winteringliam's, and others ; and Friday's catalogue will contain yearlings the property of the Marquis of Exeter, Mr. John Osborne, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Parker, and other gentle men. In addition to Messrs. Tattersall's extensive aides, Mr. R. F. Tilburn, of Doncaster, and Mr. Richard John son, of York, have received important commissions. THE FRUIT CROP.—From information that has been kindly furnished us by several correspondeota in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, we learn that the apple crop in the former county is, as a rule, below the average while in the latter county the crop is spoken of by all our correspondents as above the average, though the fruits are small, but improving in consequence of the Late rains, so that if fine weather ensue the crop will ripen early, and an average yield of cider of good quality be obtained. Pears are spoken of as below the average almost everywhere,while walnuts and filberts are more abundant than they have been for many years. The crop of plums, apricots, and wall-fruit has been scanty. Strawberries and bush fruit have yielded full clops. In the Eastern Counties generally we learn that the crop of apples is partial, much fruit being destroyed by maggots, as is also the case with pears. The cold eas:erly winds in May seem to have done great mischief all over the country. —Gardeners' Chronicle. THE LATE DR. WARDER AND HIS CHILDREN. — Yesterday this case, which came before the chief clerk (Mr. Peaks) in Chancery on Thursday, was further heard before Vice-Chancellor Stuart sitting in chambers. The application was to appoint a guardian to the children of the late Dr. Warder, who committed sui&de at Brighton, in order to present • memorial to the crown to procure a " waiver " of the right to the property forfeited by a ver dict of fdo-de-se. The Vice-Chancellor appointed Miss Gunning the guardian. FRAVDCLENT MEDICAL DIPLOMAS.—The autho rities of the Royal College of Surgeons have directed the attention of the American minister to a practice which, if not checked, may tend to cast discredit on the medical profession and inflict deep injury on the public generally. An advertisement is inserted in some of the leading English journals containing this announcement : " Diploma (Medi cal) to be disposed of, a bargain." It is supposed that many of these are in the market, and that any person so dis posed, whether he have any medical knowledge or not, may set up as a medical practitioner by the purchase of one of them. It has been ascertained that the diploma advertised is from an institution in New York, that it is duly attested, and is signed by " Examiners." A space for the name of the purchaser, or any nominee who may be desirous of medical honour', is left blank, so that any of the quacks who infest the metropolis, or any other , may at once convert the diploma into his duly certified medical qualifi cation, and do irreparable mischief to the ignorant people who may be unfortunate enough to place themselves in his ! bands.

M. and Madame Drouyn de Lhuys have started for Germany, where they purpose remaining one month. The Gautte tics Etrangers says that the ex-King Francis 11. of Naples will arrive in Paris next month, and intends to purchase the Pompeiian Palace, built by Prince Napoleon on the Avenue Montaigne, and lately purchased from him by the Count de Linnsonnsg, Arlene Houssaye, By telegram we learn that the steamer France, belonging to the Compagnie 04nerale Tranaatlantlque, arrived at St. Nazaire yesterday, bringing dates from Vera Cruz, August 13 : Havana, 18th ; and St. Thomas, 24th. 400 passengers, and 1,500, 000 dols. for London and Paris. The Gardeners Chronicle gives some curious specimens of the way in which the names to the fruits ex• Whited at the Crystal Palace were spelt.

MONEY MARKET.-;THIS DAY.) Jx% o'Ciuci. The stock markets are dull to-day, owing to the 1 , unfavourable weather for the harvest and the large withdrawal of gold from the Bank yesterday for New York. There is little business, many of the • chief operators being away from the City. The I funds are flat, but the closing prices of yesterday' are maintained. British railway securities are offered for sale, and have declined I to g per cent. Foreign bonds, however, are inquired for in some cases. Much attention is still directed to " cable" shares, in which the transactions have again been large. _ . . Consols are new quoted at 89f to it for money, and at 89f to f for the October account. There is a fair demand for money to-day, but the supply is large, and choice bills are taken at per cent. below the Bank of England minimum. Italian bonds of 1861 are in good demand, and have risen I per cent. Brazilian scrip has also im proved f, Turkish of 1865 I, and Spanish Certifi cates 4. On the other hand, Greek bonds have de clined , and Spanish Passive 1. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz.:—Turkish Bonds of 1862, 55 to 57 ; ditto 1865, 29is to f ; Greek, 131 to 14 ; Spanish Passive, 22a to i; ditto Certificates, 15f to ; Italian , of 1861, 577, to 68 ; and Mexican, itig to American 'securities are steady, at the last price of yesterday. 5-20 Bonds are quoted 72k to ; Erie Railway shares, 442 to 4Z ; and Illinois Central, 78 to Anglo-American Telegraph shares are un changed, at 16 to 17, but Atlantic Telegraph have experienced a fresh rise of fn., viz., to bj to A.

The following circular has been sent to the shareholders in Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) : 37, King•etreet, Cheapside, E.C., Sept. 6. GF-VTLEMEN,—You will have learned from the public prints that on Thursday last an order was obtained from the Court of Chancery, authorising this committee and its solicitors, blesses. Lewis and,Lewis,l of fly-place. Hol. born, assisted by Hr. Oswald Howell. of the firm of Walker, Redden, Nix, and Howell, accountants, of No. 39, King-street, Cheapaide, to investigate the books and ac counts of Overeat', Gurney, and Co. (Limited). The undersigned having formed themselves into a committee on behalf of the shareholders, hope, through the Matra mentality of their professional auxiliaries, to establish grounds for resisting the payment of the call of 10/. for holding the whole of the directors responsible for the capital of the company; and generally for promoting the interests of the shareholders in this disastrous concern. In order to carry out these important objects it will be necessary to raise a defence fund at the rate of so much per share. The proportion will, of course, depend on the number of co-operating shareholders and shares represented, but we have no reason to suppose that under any circumstances it can exceed tn. per share. At all events the undersigned have already re ceived so many spontaneous promises of aid from share holders very largely interested, that they confidently expect such an amount of support as will reduce the charges much below the foregoing estimate, and they consider it only necessary at present that with the an nexed authority a provadonal payment of two shillings and sixpence per share should be remitted. In the event of your agreeing to support this committee will you be kind enough with all convenient speed to sign the annexed authority and forward it with the proposed remittance (either by Post-office order or by a cheque crossed " Bank of England," payable to Mr. Oswald Howell) to the undersigned at the above address.—We remain, gentlemen, your obedient sereanta, AnAm TRAM, LL.D., chairman, THOMAM BRDIIITWELL, jun., Tm.n %a CLARK, and FREDERICK DUNDA , , Committee of InveNti gution. Two oCLocK. Consols are still quoted 89A to 7 for money, and 892 to I for the account. _ . Thelast advices from Madrid give the following quotations for the Three per Cent. Interior Stock in that market, viz., 36.85 to 90 for cash, and 37.25 for the end of the mouth. There was not much doing, but more disposition to hay than to sell. About 288,0001., in American eagles, was with drawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to New• York by the steamer of to-day, the ba lance of trade being evidently in favour of Ame rica. On the other hand, 11,000/., including 3,000 sovereigns from Lisbon, was sent in. The Bremen, from New York, has brought 97,0001. in specie, and the China, from Boston, 3,5001. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were again dull. The rates for bills on Holland, Bel gium, and St. Petersburg were (rioted somewhat less favourably for this country. rho usual list is subjoined : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.194 to 12.0 ; ditto, short, 11.16$ to 11.18 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.194 to 12.0 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.50 to 25.33 ; Brussels, 3' months, 25.50 to 25.55; Hamburg and Aliona, 3 mouths, 13.9 to 13.91 ; Berlin, Cologne, &c., 3 months, 6.27 to 6.28; St. Petersburg, 3 months, 29 w 2441 ; Paris, slim t, 25.224 to 25.324 ; ditto, 3 months. 25.40 to 25.474 ; Mar seilles, 3 months, 25.40 to 25.474 ; Frankfurt-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1204 to 1201 ; Vienna, 3 months, 13.20 to 13.30; Trieste, 3 months, 13.2) to 13.30; Madrid, 3inontbA, 454 to 451 ; Santander, 3 months, 46 to 44 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 46$ to 46 ; Seville, 3 mouths, 46} to 46 ; Malaga, 3 mouths, 461 to 46 ; Valencia, 3 months, 464 to 46 ; Bar celona, 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Bilbao, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Saragossa, 3 months, 46$ to 46 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 26.75 to 26.85; Genoa, 3 months, 26.75 to 26.85 ; Naples, 3 months, 26.75 to 26.85 ; Palermo, .3 months, 26.75 to 26.85 ; Messina, 3 months, 26 . 75 to 26.85 ; Lisbon, 90 days' date, 514 to 511 ; Oporto, 90 days' date, 51$ to 511. At Paris the rate of discount in the open market is 21 per cent. ; Hamburg and Berlin, 3i ; Vienna and St. Petersburg, 5 ; Turin, 6 ; Frankfort, 3 ; Amsterdam, 5k ; and Brussels, 31 per cent. We thus see that the value of money in most of the chief continental markets is still below that cur rent here. ---- The following is a copy of a private telegram re ceived yesterday from China :—" Latest dates: Hong Kong, August 11 ; Shanghai, August 4 ; Foo Chow Foo, August 7. Export of tea for the fort night, 7,000,000 lbs. Fair demand. Exchange in Hong Kong, 4s. 4d." The prospectus of the New South Wales Govern ment Loan for 850,0001., lately issued, stated that tenders would be received by the agents " until the amount of the loan is subscribed, but not beyond the 20th September next, at 2 o'clock. All applications will be recorded, and considered strictly in the order in which they are received." But the loan has been so well thought of that last evening the Oriental Bank, adhering to the above clearly expressed arrangement, have notified that, the amount having been fully sub scribed, no further applications can be received. This result is one of the first distinct indications of a revival of the demand on the part of the public for new investments. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 8141., compared with last year. This decline is probably due to the strike in the mining districts. The dividend meeting of proprietors of the Bank of England is convened for Thursday next. The Vice-Chancellor Stuart has, on appeal, confirmed the call of 301. per share made by Mr. Peake on the shareholders of the Contract Cor poration. The dividend of Bs. in the pound to the creditors of the English Joint-Stock Bank is payable on the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th inst., at the offices of the bank. The liquidators, Messrs. C. J. Kemp and H. Chatteris, have arranged to pay 1,200 claimants each day, and the Bank of England will cosh the cheques on presentation at the rotunda in the Bank. A third dividend of 2s. in the pound is to be 'mid to the creditors of the Leeds Banking Com pany on the 23th inst., making, with two previous distributions, 14e. An extraordinary general meeting of the West London Wharves and Warehouses Company is called for the 27th instant, to receive the reply of the directors to the report of the committee of investigation. The subjoined circular, with reference to the Credit looncier of Mauritius (Limited), has just been issued :—" 17, Change-alley, Cornhill, E.C. Lon don, September 4.-1 am desired by my di rectorsto hand you the enclosed interim dividend warrant of 7s. 6d. per share (equivalent to 74 per cent. per annum), free of income tax, on the stares voe hold in this company, payable at the Alliance Batik, on and after the 10th of September next. The ac counts for the half-year ending June 30, 1866, have been received from Mawitius ' and my board have much pleasure in informing the shareholders that the affairs of the company in that island are in a most satisfactory position.-1 remain, &c., Wu, mart G. DICK, Manager." The following, on the silk market, is from the circular of Messrs. Durant and Co., dated yester day: We have a buoyant market, and fairly current business in silk. Comparatively scanty arrivals and continua ll y diminishing estima t es of probable export from China en able importers to realise full rates ; indeed, the laid two days an improvement of 6d. to Is. per lb. has been paid. thus reaching the very highest prioes of November , : The latest estimates by telegraph intimate that the total quantity from China, excluding Canton and Japan, may rot reach 30,000 bales—a satlyrospect for consumers. The deliveries, although less miserable than the last few months, are far from satisfactory. In J span silk we have had no arrivals ; the remnants of last year are not desirable —hence, perhaps, that in this silk we have not yet reached the highest rang'. Bengal silk has shared funy ln the general business, but scarely iu the improverueut of paces; the deliveries of this silk are favourable. We are requested by Mews. Roger Cnnliffe, Sons, and Co. to state that on and after Monday, the 10th inst., their business will be carried on at No. 6, Pringes-street, Mansion-house. FRIDAY Ey eNING.

ONE O.CLOCR. The transactions in the mining market to-flay are upon a rather moderate scale, and prices gene. rally exhibit no change. Thu tendency, on the whole, is dull, owing cinefly to the dini:nished demand for copper and tin. The recent great rise in the value of many biIaSCS has also eausod speculative realisations. The subjoined weekly report on the metal market is from the circular of Messrs. Von Dailchi.:en and North : The improved feeling in the metal market reported last week has not hein fully maintained ; there is more desire to realise, while buyers are not quite so eager, the retina tim in the rate of discount to 5 per cent. lug been without inflnence on prices. iron -The reports f Wales and Statfordshite arc aati.factury ; orders, thodgli not plentiful, are coming in gradually.
