SHIELDS, TIEFI3DAT. These seaports were visited, shortly after mia night, by one of the moat severe thursderstorms ever rxperienced on this coast. The lightning and thunder were instantaneous, and the noise was as if the towns were being bombarded with artillery. Great alarm prevailed hero and in the fishing vil lages. The lightning was remarkably vivid, and rain and hail fell plentifully. The storm lasted about half an hour, and then passed away to the north east. About two hundred herring boats were keeping off the Northumberland coast., and their crows appear to have been completely awed by the storm. Many of them wrapped themselves in the sails of their boats " to keep the fire out of their eyes." The uproar of the elements is described by the fishermen as having been awfully grand, end the sea, at one time, the y state, looked as if it was on fire. MI the seafaring pee e agree that they never wit nessed a thunderstorm on e north-east coast so sudden, sharp, and violent. It appears to have been quite tro pical in its character. Happily, so far as can be ascer tained, no personal injury has been done.—Manchester Er 0111i1IIT. SINGULAR SUICIDE. Last evening an inquest was held on the body of a furrier, named Marquis Wyner, aged 69 years, at the Prince Albert Tavern, Howes-street, Kingsland-road. The deceased lodged at No. 2, Shap-stroet, Kingaland road, and for some months past his wife, to whom he was much attached, had been very ill, and ahe died last week. Her death caused him great mental suffering, which appeared to increase as the time for her funeral ap proached. On Monday mornin g , when she lay in her coffin, he rested himself in an easy chair, and with his razor in flicted three deep wounds on the front of his left arm, below the elbow joint. He then held his arm backwards in such a way that the blood flowed freely from the severed blood-vesaela, and nearly all the blood in his body poured forth upon the floor. His landlady and his late wife's MUSS found him quite dead, reclining in the arm-chair. The razor was on the cushion of the sofa close by. The jury returned a verdict that " Deceased committed suicide by severing the veins of his left arm, while in a state of unsound mind." SNIPPING INTBLLIGENCL-ITHIS DAT.)

This afternoon the members of the Corporation of London waited by appointment on their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, at Marl borough House, for the purpose of presenting the addresses agreed to by the Court of Common Council in congratula tion of her royal highness on the birth of a princess. _ . The address to her royal highness was as follows :—" May it please your royal highness—The Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commons of the City of London, m Common Council assembled, very heartily congratulate your royal highness on the birth of a princess. Every event calculated to enhance the domestic happiness of your royal highness gives to the citizens of London the liveliest satisfaction, and it is their fervent prayer that the infant princess and her brothers and sister may long have the inestimable advantage of the example and instruction of your royal highness, and may grow up to exhibit virtues worthy of their illustrious parents." The address to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ran thus :—" To his Royal Highness the Prince Wales, — We, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and commons of the City of London in Common Council assembled, beg to offer your royal highness our cordial congratulations on the safe delivery of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and on the birth of a royal princess. We heartily rejoice in all that conduces to the domestic happiness of our precious Sovereign, and we cannot but regard the recent addition to the members of the royal house as furnishing increased security to her Ma jesty's faithful subjects that the virtues of the Queen will be perpetuated among us in the persons of her Majesty's descendants. It is our ardent hope that the life of the infant princess may be long vared, and that she may be the joy and pride of her royal parents." Latex in the day addresses were also presented from the Commissioners of Lieutenancy of the City of London. GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.—(I'BI3 .b.Ar) This day the half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, the Marquis of SALISBURY in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRXAN, in proposing its adoption, referred to the e ff orts which had been made to provide for the debt. of the company. The preference shareholders had received debenture stock in satisfaction of their claims for dividend so far as application had been made for it. The unre newed debentures had been paid off, or payment had been tendered for them, and provision was made for the deben tures about to fail due for several months to come. The bankers' debts were paid, and the ordinary debt. of the company were being paid off as fast as the amounts could be settled between the parties and the authority of the Court of Chancery for payment obtained. There was no other cause of financial embarrassments, except that the question of the metropolitan extensions had not yet been brought to a satisfactory settlement. With regard to the returns from the half-year's working they were satisfactory. There was an increase of 52,0001., or 15 per cent., on the net profits, and this, he was happy to say, had been gained not only without any increase In the expenditure, but with a positive diminution. This was in part attribu table to the officers of the company, and to the fact that they paid 15,00 W. mote for accidents last year than they did this. They aseertained ro bLa e report independent of their own officers that the stock was insufficient ; and the increase of traffic tow t h the good relations between this company and the Great Northern might be expected to lead rendered it a matter of urgent necessity that the deficiency in the rolling stock should be provided for. They therefore proposed to appro priate 150,00 W. to this purpose, and as by the finance act of last year they could not make such capital outlay without the consent of the preference stockholders, a meeting of the preference stockholders was summoned to obtain their assent. With regard to the future, he would not venture to forecast rt. He could not promise them that they would have a net increase of 15 per cent. every half-year. There was an increase in the rate of fares, but he believed the increase of profits was not owing to this so much as to the sound and healthy development of the traffic. They could not of course expect to see a half-arly diminution of expenditure. The wheat harvest in the district through which the line ran was good, and this was a main source of profit to the company. Under these circumstances he could not but think the prospects before them were satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) They required the confidence of the shareholders, and he believed that confidence 'would be given to them. (Hear, hear.) He was sure the board endeavoured to deserve it. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded, several questions were put to the chairman, which were answered satisfac torily. The report was then adopted. TnEPEurcEen Loris oF HP.ABB.—The accouche ment of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, Princess Louis of Hesse, is expected in November. Her royal high ness has, on previous occasion , availed herself of the services of Dr. Priestley; but, in consideration ed the in creasing engagements of that physician, she has con siderately allowed his place to be 911 ed this year by Dr. Brodie, who will be enabled to stay during the month with less sacriiice.—Britisii Medical Journal. --- THE ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—The non-com missioned officers and men of the Royal :U&eery and Royal Marines injured by the accident at petham on Monday are progressing very favourably. Prince Arthur, accompanied by Major-General J. L. A. Simmons, C.B. ; Lieut.-Colonel H. C. Elphinetoise, C. 8., V.C. ; and other officers, visited Fort Pitt Hospital on Tuesday afternoon, and went through the wards occupied by the men of the Royal Engineers who were injured. The Prince was conducted over the establishment and through the wards by Dr. Balfour Cockburn, R.E., the princi pal medical officer, to whom he expressed on leaving hie complete satisfaction with the whole of the hospital th am rangements. At the same time he desired Dr. to supply the injured men with every comfort he con sidered advisable. Lieut. L. F. Brown, R.E., who ac companied the Royal Marines across the dying-bridge, was one of the first to fall into the trench on the giving way of the bridge. This officer bad a very narrow escape, his cap being pierced and taken oft his head by a bayonet, against which he fell, while his trousers were cut in two places by bayonets. Yesterday a board of field officers assembled at Chatham, by order of Major-General Free man Murray, for the purpose of inquiring into the cir cumstances connected with the fatal occurrence. The impend of Private William Merchant, Royal Marines Light Infantry, who wee accidentally killed during the rehearsal of the siege operations at Chatham, was con ducted yesterday afternoon, with full military honours. The body of the deceased was preceded to the y the band of the division playing the .. Dead Mar cch" from " Saul," with muffled drums and the instruments dra pe d in black.

The very unfavourable character of the Bank of England return has led to an impression that the rate of discount may be advanced ere bong. especially if withdrawals of gold from that establishment continue to be made upon a large scale. It is also assumed that any upward movement in the official minimum would cause bankers and others to show less disposition to snake advances upon stock. The English funds have been sold to considerable extent, and have experienced a fresh fall of 1 per cent. The reduction in several of the' railway and foreign stocks amounts to to I, and the tendency at the moment is towards a further decline.

About 20,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from the Bank for the Continent. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 27c. for the account, showing no change. There can be no doubt that our market is being acted upon by the universal desire manifested in France to take part in the new national loan , theresult of which is that for the time an enormous amount of money is temporarily locked up in the requisite deposits, to the great disturbance of the market. It is believed, however, that the ultimate effect of the loan will be to render the money market in Frame easier than ever, because it will draw out a vast number of small sums which have been held in reserve in expectation of its issue. At the meeting yesterd.ay of the Venezuelan bond holders of 1862, resolutions were passed in favour of an amalgamation of the committee with that of the 1864 bondholders; of a special agent being sent to Venezuela for the purpose of obtaining a settlement of the claims of the bondholders ; of Messrs. Baring Bros. being requested to pay half the expenses of the agent's mission out of the bondholder,' funds in their hands; and of her Majesty's government being asked to invest the agent to be sent out with powers necessary to en force the claims of the bondholder.

Bankers' Clearing-house, August 6. The magnitude of the clearances on Friday, the 31st ultimo, was caused by the settlement ui the Stock Exchange. For the corresponding period of last year, when there was no such settlement, the week's total was only 60,502,000/. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes (the exchange being taken at 25f. to the pound) : Coin and bullion Bills discounted Noted in circulation Decrease 1,360,000 Private deposits Treasury balance Decrease 224,000 Advances The extraordinary increase in the coin and bul lion continues, and the total is now no less than 49,813,000!. At the same time there has been a large falling off in the discounts and note circu lation. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, August 5, oompared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue £35,218,865 Decrease £529,245 Circulation active Public deposits 3.379,081 Decrease 120,293 Other deposits 20,667,439 Decrease 786,615 Government securities in banking department 14,790,302 Increase 175,908 Other securities in bank- Coin ing and departm ullion in both ent b department,' 21,371,989 Decrease 692,662 Seven day and other bills 661,292 Increase 49.831 The Rest Notes in reserve 10;265;485 Decrease 1,186;820 Totalreserve (notes It coin) in banking department 11,408,809 Decrease 1,230,237 This return affords evidence of an increased de mand for money in the general market, some large Witbdralve.lo 91 deposits laving taken place, and the Bank having been applied to to make loans to an increased extent on securities. The conse quence is the large diminution of 1,230,2371. in the reserve. The decline in the coin and bullion is as much as 592,6621., and, as this exceeds by about 392,000 i. the amount known to have been taken from the Bank for exportation during the week, it would appear that either the absorption of coin in harvest payments has been unusually large or some considerable amounts have been withdrawn privately for transmission to Paris in connexion with the new French Loan.
