LONGWORTH (OR TELVERTON) r. TELVERTON. The arguments in this long litigated case approached • conclusion to-day, when the appellant was heard in reply. The interest of the public was as Touch marked this morning as ever to catch a sight of the lady and to hear her admirable delivery of her statement, which, as before, was read from a manuscript. At the opening of the court, . . . - The appellant, who stoke in a very low tone of voice, said that she was afraid she should not have strength to proceed with her defence, but she was prepared to do her best. The Lord Chancellor—Has counsel prepared anything Velverton—Yes, he has ; but really his handwriting is so difficult to read, that I have not yet been able to go through it. I am afraid I shall not be able to finish to day. The Lord Chancellor—But you will not be keeping faith with us. We have done everything in our power to aceom• inodate you, and you must remember that any further delay must be very inconvenient to the other aide. Mr. Anderson, Q.C.—We offer no objection to counsel being heard for the appellant. The Lord Chancellor—l think that would be breaking in upon a rule which should be strictly adhered to. Mrs. Yell-erten—Then I will proceed. While the lady was arranging her documents the three noble and learned lords conferred together, and after a few minutes. The Lord Chancellor maid—lf you feel that you are un equal to going through the case yourself, we think, under the circumstances, that this may be considered an excep tional case —on account of your illness—and we will hear your counsel. But if you begin you must finish. We cannot allow you to break off, and then hear counsel. Of course, as you go on, Mr. Campbell Smith may make suggestions to you. Mn. Yelrerion—Am I at liberty to refer to my counsel, and to repeat what he tells me f The Lord Chancellor— Of course yow may do that. Mrs. Yelverton was understood to say that her counsel was not entirely prepared. The Lord Chancellor—Then your taking the case upon yourself is a necessity, and you must go on. Mrs. Yelverton then commenced her reply by 'saying she should not attempt to enter into any legal disquisi tions, but would rather adopt the wiser course of throwing herself upon the protection of the court and trusting to the impartiality and justice of the noble and learned peer —deeply learned in the Scottish law (LordColonsay), whom their lordships had had an opportunity of consulting. The appellant then referred to several cases which she sub. mitted proved that the well established rule was that a reference to oaths of the whole case was admitted at any time before extract. The conned for the respondent had admitted the existence of such a rule in the opening of his argument, but had then proceeded to deny its validity, and contended it was practically abolished by theists 11 George IV. and lit William IV. It was true that several instances of refusal were on record, but she had already shown that in three of those eases the circumstances plainly put the appellants out of court.

This important case had, after a long trial, been postponed until to-day to enable the parties to come to some arrangement, the jury having suggested a compro mise in consequence of the conflicting nature of the evi dence. When the names of the jurymen had been called over, the parties entered into consultation, and ultimately The '.Solicitor-General, who appeared f or th e plaintiff, mid that terms bad been agreed upon by which the jury would be span:d any further trouble, and which would end all matters in difference. The Lord Chief Baron thought it was for the interest of both parties that they should come to an arrangement, and expressed his satisfaction at the result. A juror was then withdrawn. The terms were not men tioned, but they arc supposed to terminate the litigation concerning the liability for the loss caused by the destruc tion of Sarille-house, Leicester-square. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ALLEGED ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARNAGE. Charlie Barnes, a well-dressed man, surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment which charged him with un lawfully assaulting Elizabeth Westerby with intent to commit • felony. The offence imputed to the defendant, it will be remem bered, was alleged to have been committed in one of the carriages upon the Metropolitan Railway, and the case, in ordinary course, would have come on at the last session, but the prosecutrix, a girl about 15 years old, did not appear. It was stated that she bad been purposely kept away to prevent her from giving evidence, and a person who was in court proposed to give information pnvittely to the court where she could be found, and in consequence of this the trial was postponed to the present occasion. Mr. Montagu Williams, who was instructed to prose cute, now stated that in consequence of the information referred to, a person bad been sent down to Yorkshire to a certain place where the prosecutrix was represented to be enameled, and neither the place nor the person with whom she w as reported to be. could be found. Under these circumstances he must leave the matter entirely in the hands of the court, but he thought it right to state that he did not believe there was the slightest probability of the proeecutrix coming forward to give evidence. Mr. Daly, who appeared for the defence, asked that the defendant should be acquittted He said he could amnia the court that he knew nothing about the prune cutrix being kept out of the way. The Recorder observed that the learned counsel would probably be the last person to whom any information would be given upon such a subject. (A laugh.) He then said that he did nut think it would be of any use to let the case st a nd o v er an y l unger, an d t h e defendant having been given in charge and no evidence being offered, the jury returned a verdict of Net Guilty. The recognisance entered into by the father of the prosecutrix .or her appearance was ordered to be estreated. Mews Hopes, a boy of 16, pleaded guilty to • charge of stealing till's. weight of teed, the property of the Cor poration of London. mid the sale being fixed to a building. Agar, the chief olicer of Holloway prison, informed the court that the prisoner bad been convicted of felony on tee previous occasions, and be had been sent to a reforma tory for four years. The Recorder said it would be perfectly useless to send a boy like the pi:Amer a second time to a reforinutory, sod Is: sentenced him to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. (Before the Common Serjeent.) 1N. , 47-01 , FICI CASE'S. Grore, 24, a letter stamper in the service of the rost.officc, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with .leading two letters, the property of her Majesty's P odieasterdietierd. Mr. Itletmlfe, who with Mr. Patteson, appeared for the Prosecution, st a t e d that in consequence of numerous corn- Idsints receive.' from the district with which the prisoner conceded, e-pecially from Mr. Bennett, of Devon ""irt.square, two test letters were made up, one contain. que and the other some postage stamps. These letter did not reach their destination, and in consequence the Prisoner was taken into custody, and the letters in que‘tion were found in his powiewrion. Tbp primmer when called on ref err ed t o some p a p ers he had handed in to the court. The Common &rjeant said he had lead the papers referred to, but though he commiserated the embarrass thent into which the priaoner had fallen, the documents f.ded to chow any grounds on which he could relax the rule Lid down by all the judges in cases of this class, and therefore he iiimt Lass on the prisoner the usual sentence of Penal servitude fur the term of five years. ANOTHER C.E.S &motel Dunstall, Zl, shopman, pleaded guilty to an in dictment charging him with stealing 11 money order forms, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. Mr. Metcalfe informed the court that the prisoner had been a shopman to a tradesman in Brighton, who also kept a branch post-office in that town. The prisoner, who assisted in the peat-office duties, suddenly decamped, and it was found that eleven forms for money orders had been abstracted from the money order book. In a few days afterward■ some of these orders filled up were presented for payment, one at York and three at Brighton, and some of these were paid, but in consequence of an informality in one the prisoner was taken into cus tody, when four of the blank forms were found in his pos session. ----- The prisoner had nothing to my in extenuation, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. . . The Commou Serjeant sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. THEATRES V. MUSIC HALLS ACAIi. Mr. Humphreys, of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan. accompanied by Mr. John Hollinphead, honorary were tau of the Theatrical Law Amendment Society, applied to Mr. Vaughan for a summons against Messrs. Holland and Sweeney, for allowing stage-plays to be enacted at Weston. Music H9ll, without a proper license, and in contravention of the 6 and 7 Viet., sec. 68. It was stated that the application was made in no un friendly spirit, ani the proprietors of the hall were duly apprisedof the intention to proceed against them, if they persisted in continuing the entertainment in their bills. He (Mr. Humphreys) invited his worship to examine the play-bill, a programme of the piece which was called the Mountain Sylph, an operetta, by the late Mr. Harnett, and selections from which were given in costume and character, in a manner similar to that exhibited at the licensed play.houses. The programme or list of characters was sold in the room, and he proposed to call Mr. John Hollingshead, a member of the Dramatic Authors' Society, and a gentleman well known in literary and dratr.atic circles, who had witnessed the exhibition, atter paying for admission to the hall, and who would describe what he saw. Mr. Vaughan—Will your witness be prepared to say that it was a dramatic performance, containing a regular plot, or was it merely a selection from an opera or drama —a disconnected scene merely ? Mr. Humphreys drew his worship's attention to the clause of the act forbidding any dramatic performance, whether play, drama, opera, farce, or pantomime, or any part thereof. Mr. Vaughan—Let me hear your witness. Mr. Ilollingshead stated that he witnessed portions of the operetta called the Mountain Sylph, which were given much in the same way as at ordinary theatres, with regard to costume and action, although there was a difference in the arrangement of the scenery necessitated by the construction of the platform or stage. The characters, for example, instead of coming on the stage from either side, entered and returned through a dour at the back of the stage. lie saw the usual dramatic action during the performance—such as the presentation of a shawl, by one of the characters, to the lady repre senting the Mountain Sylph—much, indeed, as he had seen when present at the performance of the same piece at any of the London theatres. Mr. Hollings head gave other examples of the action and dialogue or libretto of the piece, and observed that the society which he represented had no animus whatever in this matter, having entered upon these proceedings with no other de sire than to ascertain the actual state of the law, and to bring about • settlement of the question which should be satisfactory to the profession and to the public, and to obviate future litigation upon the subject. Mr. Vaughan—You can take a summons. e It was stated that Messrs. Holland and Sweasey had been informed of the present application, but they were not in attendance. CLERKENWELL. comarrAL OF ♦ GANG OF HIGHWAY ROBBIR&-ANOTHER SCENE IN COURT. Wm. Down, aged 17, a tailor, Cornelius Bradley, 22, shoemaker, Ann Mack, It, Ann Sullivan, 17, and Mary Ann Mack,l7, the girls being described as of no occupa tion, were again brought before Mr. Cooke for the pur pose of the police proving former convictions against them. It will be recollected that on the last examination the prisoners were committed for trial for feloniously assault ing and stealing a silver watch from Mr. George Fowells, in Farringdon-road. On being removed from the dock, a desperate attempt was made to rescue them by their friends in the body of the court, and had it not been for the assistance of a great number of police who were in the court at the time they would, doubtless, have escaped from the custody of Turner, the gaoler. Herbert Reeves, warder of the House of Correction, proved that the prisoner Bradley had been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions, and sentenced to nine months' im prisonment, for felony. The depositions having been completed, the prisoners were then formally committed for trial. On being re moved they resisted to the utmost, and set up the most dreadful yells and 'creams. Full precautions had, how ever, been taken, and as each prisoner was hauledfrom the dock a const►ble seized him or her, and a full force of constables being also in court, the friends of the prisoners kept quiet, with the exception of one old woman, who was at once turned out. The prisoners continued to resist and scream until they were secured in the cells. WORSHIP-STREET. FEARFUL CAM OF ISTABBING. John Colman, 31, described as being a printer, living at No. 7, Navarino-grove, Dalston, was charged by Sergeant Gardner, N division of police, with stabbing and wounding John Calligan, a carpenter, living at No. 11, Queen-street, Islington. The sergeant deposed—At 12o'clock yesterday my atten tion was called to a man lying on thevement in Graham-road, Drayton. His shirt front and flannel were saturated with blood, and on examination I found a wound on the left shoulder. I obtained the assistance of two doctors who directed his immediate removal to the hospital, and he was taken to the German Hospital. From what 1 subsequently heard I went to the prisoner's house. He was in bed. I charged him with stabbing Calligan. He replied, " What I did was in my own defence." On proceeding to the station I showed him this spring dagger knife (the blade pointed and four inches in length). He said it belonged to him and he had used it to defend himself from some men who attacked him, and that he would do so again. The man who is st abbed was in liquor when I saw him. A certificate was produced by the witness from Dr. Hersch, the resident medical officer of the hospital, from which it appeared that the injured man was in danger. Wm. Wightmiui, a potman at the Navarino Tavern, Dalston, gave evidence of the prisoner, Calligan, and another man, having just previously to the assault been drinking at the bar, and quarrelling about religion, prisoner declaring himself a Roman catholic, and Calligan saying that he himself was a protestant. In this condition they left the house, and following to the door, witness saw prisoner at the distance of 40 yards in the act of striking Calligan. He and witness ran towards them, and as he neared saw something like the knife produced. in prisoner's hand—he reached them at that moment, and seeing prisoner again in the act of striking, knocked him down. l'risoner got up instantly and ran off. Witness carried the wounded man,who was then bleeding profusely, until he met the police-sergeant. Prisoner was remanded. WiNDSIVORTH. SINGULAR RAILWAY DISPUTZ. Mr. Edward Vickers and Miss hobs:Caries, of Claverton street, Pimlico, were summoned for tiding in • first-class carriage on the South-Western Railway with second class tickets. Mr. T. Bent, the company's superintendent of police, attended in support of the summons. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Edwin Furber, one of the company's inspector, stated that on the night of the 14th ult., he arrived at Vauxhall station by a Kingston train. s he passed along the platform he , saw the defendants getting out of a first class carriage. He assisted them to alight, and then shut the door. He followed on to the collector to see what tickets were delivered up by the defendants. He found that they gave up second-class tickets. He had some suspicion, as he saw a second-class ticket in the male de fendant's hand. In anwer to questions put by Mr. Vickers, The witness said it was on the second day of Hampton races. Vauxhall station was lighted with gas, but not badly. Very few persons got out of the tram which was not connected with the races. The defendant, who had put hie questions with great rapidity then asked him whether he did not tell the col lector that he knew him by the white handkerchief round his neck. The witness was slow in answering, when the defendant repented the question, at the Sallie time rapping his lingers on the table. Mr. Ingham said he would put the questi , s, as the de fondant's vehemence of manner rather confounded witness. The witness said he did tell the collector that he knew the defendant by his wearing a white handkerchief round hie neck. He was not able to swear that other passengers were not wearing similar handkerchiefs. By Mr. Ingham—Witness never lost sight of the defen dants. He was not more than three yards from them. The defendant said it was a question of identity, and he wished to call the lady as a witness iii her behalf. Mr. Ingham did not believe Mr. Bent would be so un gallant as to proceed with the case against Miss Carter. Mr. Bent immediately withdrew the summons, when the young lady was called into the witness-box and sworn. She said they had been spending the day with some friends at Kingston, and returned in a second-class carriage. She saw several other persons with white handkerchiefs round their necks. . . _ .—.. .......... Mr. Ingham, after hearing that evidence, thought there must be some mistake, and dismissed the summons. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. -( THIS DAY.) The volunteers this morning were early astir to prepare themselves for the business of the day, the trum pet sounding at 6 o'clock, when a general turn-out took place. In the interval between that and breakfast-time, ablutions and gymnastic exercises were the order of the day. Soon atter 9 o'clock the different competitors marched down to the butts, and the business of the day commenced. The programme of the business embraced the continua. tion of the All Comers' Match betwe .n Middlesex and Lancashire, but we believe there is some doubt whether this contest will be shot out, in consequence of some diffi culty that has arisen. This morning commenced the competition for the St. George's Challenge Vase, presented for the sixth time for annual competition to the volunteer battalions of Great Britain by Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay, M.P., on behalf of the St. George's Rifles, open to all corps and companies of battalions. There arc numerous prizes attached to this competition. Seven shots each at 500 yards. Some excellent scores were made for this prize, Mr. Baillie, of the London Scottish, making 27 points, being only one point short of the highest possible score to be made. There were also some excellent scores made and the contest was proceeding. . Another competition, commenced this morning, was for the Prince of Wales's prize-large cup of the value of 1001., with 1001. added by the National Rifle Association, re stricted to the winners of all silver and bronze medals given by the National Rifle Association, and won since the last Wimbledon meeting. Five shots each at the re spective ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards. This contest had only just been entered upon when this report left. The shooting for Mr. Bass's prize was continued, India expected to close to-day. The most important item in the programme, which will be commenced at an advanced period, is the competition for the International Enfield Challenge Trophy, value 1,000/., to which is added 50/., given by the Gunmakers Company, and 10/. by the National Rifle Association, to be competed for by English, Scotch, and Irish volunteers, 20 on each side ; seven shots, each at the ranges of 200, 500, and 600 yards. The shooting was continued this morning for the Duke of Cambridge's prize ; Mr. Dunlop, of the London Scottish, who used a Remington rifle, made 57 points in three minutes, and it is believed that he could have increased his score by two shots but for the barrel of his gun becoming so hot that he was scarcely able to hold it. To-day was also commenced the first atago for the Alexandra Prize at 500 yards. This is one of • series of competitions open to all corners armed with the Enfield rifle. At the distance there are 45 money prizes to be won, of the aggregate value of 250/. Five shots are allowed, making the highest possible score 20 marks. The entries for these prizes are always very numerous. In 1664 they were 1,048 ;in 1865, 1,064 ; and and in 1866, 1,160. There is therefore always a progressive increase in the number of these entries. The Common this morning was but thinly attended. THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WARRINGTON. (BY TELEGRAPH.) WARRINGNON, TUESDAY, The magisterial examination in the case of the pointsman Rowson was resumed last evening, and con cluded at a late hour. The prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of mansl►ughter, but was admitted to bail in 600/. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT DULWICH. INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) • This forenoon, Mr. Wm. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an investigation in the board-room of Cam berwell workhouse respecting the death of Mary Arnie Payne, aged 37 years, who was alleged to have been mur dered by a man named Richard Tow, who is at present in custody on that charge. The first witness called was Mary Wells, who stated that she was a nurse at Camberwell Infirmary. On Thursday evening, at half-past 9 o'clock, the deceased was brought into the ward No. 17. She was sensible, and she died at twenty minutes to 5 o'clock on Friday morning. She made a statement, but the accused was not present. The coroner said that under those circumstances her statement could not be admitted in evidence. _ Jane Barnes, a married woman, said that the deceased resided next door to her for three years. She passed as Mrs. Tow, the wife of Richard Tow. She had four chil dren, the youngest being ten weeks old. On Monday morning week witness was sent for by the deceased. She appeared to be very bad and she uid it was through him, and— Coroner—Was he there. Witness—No, sir. Coroner—We cannot hear what she said. In consequence of the statement made by the deceased, witness said that Tow was a vagabond. She had fre quently fallen when Tow had knocked her down. Shortly before she gave birth to her last child, Tow had given her • blow which knocked her down and sent her through a window in the street. Annie Harwood, Prospect-place, Dulwich, said that the deceased lived next door to her. On last Saturday night week between 11 and 12 o'clock the accused returned home, and asked the deceased where the little girl had been, and he was told " out for a candle." " It's a lie," said he, and told her, "Get me my supper, or I'll very soon make you ; and if you don't you must give me my money back." She said that she had laid the money out. He replied, " I'll very soon make you give it to me." Then witness heard a scuffle. Mrs. Tow ran out, screaming, " You shan't hit me with the tongs." " Now," said Tow, " I've got you out, and out you stay." The baby then began to cry, and Mrs. Tow said, " go in to the baby." Directly she went into the house witness heard a dreadful scuffle, and the deceased said, "You shan't hit me with the tongs, or knock my teeth out." The deceased then went upstairs, and the accused said," You shan't atop up here." Sarah Ann Payne, an intelligent looking little girl, of 11 years of age, dressed in the workhouse clothing, said that the deceased was her mother. Witness had seen her father illtreat her mother. On one occasion he had thrown a loaf of bread at her head. On last Saturday night week father returned home, and after some words he struck her with the tongs. Mother screamed out " Oh, oh " when she was struck. Witness heard her father strike her mother twice with the tongs. In about half an hour afterwards witness saw her mother, and she had blood on her face. Her mouth was covered with it. On Sunday she had to stay in bed all day, and she complained of pain in the back. The blowsthat her fatbei had given her were very heavy. On Sunday morning the pain was so great that she fainted away. After good deal of other evidence had been heard the court was cleared, and after half an hour's deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Richard Tow for feloniously killing Mary Anne Payne." The coroner then issued his warrant for the committal of the prisoner to Horsemonger-lane gaol. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT THE VICTORIA STATION, MANCHESTER. Yesterday morning an accident occurred at the Lancashire and Yorkshire end of the Victoria Station, Manchester, which resulted in injuries to eight passengers. The train, which left Middleton at 10.10 a.m., consisting of a brake van and four carriages, was approaching the Victoria Station, and on arriving at Scotland-bridge the train ought to have been brought to a stand for the engine to be uncoupled, so that the train might run down the in cline to the station by its own momentum, and as it passed the York-street bridge it was the duty of the guard to put on the brake, sou to pull it up at the platform. It would appear that the train was not brought to a dead stand before the engine was uncoupled, and the consequence was that it ran down the incline with great rapidity, and the guard neg lecting to put on the brake, it ran into the waggon which was standing against the buffers at the end of the line with considerable force, and eight of the passengers were in jured by the collision. There was plenty of assistance ►t hand, and the injured passengers, consisting of an equal number of males and females, were at once conveyed into the waiting rooms, and restoratives administered. Medical aid was instantly sent for, and Dr. Franklin and others speedily arrived. They found that none of the eight per sons had been very seriously injured. Some of them had cuts over the eyebrws and cut lips, as if the collision had caused them to come into contact with the partition. of the carriages, but fortunately none of them had any bones broken. The person who had suffered the greatest injury was Francis Bramhall, of Moruiell-street, Miles Platting. SUDDEN DEATH or AN ETON BOIT. —A young gentleman named ()tram Ingram, in the house of the ltev. Wayte, one of the Eton masters, was found dead in hie bed on the night of Sunday last. He was excused from school on Wednesday, having complained of a pain in his back, supposed to proceed from a cold caught by lying on the grass to witness a recent cricket match. He had been carefully attended by Dr. Soley, of Windsor, and Dr. Smith, of Eton, but no immediate danger was apprehended, although he was considered of a weakly constitution. He was 17 years of age, and the only sou of • gentleman of large fortune living at Lyme Regis, Dorset. ITLZ ViArittajb, .1.11b6.1.)A ti V talth ti, JULY 1601.

CRICEET.-(THIS DAY.) V. PLAYERS. It was a quarter past twelve this morning when the field was set, and the first pair of gentlemen took their places at the wickets, opposed to the bowling of the ground men. Wootton and Grundy. The gentlemen had what on ordinarily good wickets would have been an easy task, viz., 54 runs to win the match, but so fine was the bowling, aided by the ground, that it was Vmost difficult to combat and getting the balls away was out of the question. Wootton began the bowling from the Pavilion end, and, with the first ball of his second over, he bowled down Mr. J. D. Watkin's leg stump, with a shooter. This let in Mr. Lubbock, who appeared in fine form. He soon lost his companion, who played one of Wootton's on to his wicket. Gnindy's bowling was first-class ; he began with five maidens, and delivered eight oven for four runs. Mr. Lubbock's finest item was a single, then an on drive for 2, and then a fine of drive from Wootton for 3. Mr. Grace's first hit was for • single to square leg, an over or two after he got bold of one of Wootton's to leg, which be sent to the Tennis Court for 3. Messrs. Lubbock and Grace now got hold, and it was nearly 1 o'clock when 20 were tele graphed. Hume got • well-merited cheer for a fine bit of fielding at point. The cricket displayed this morning was of a very high order. At I o'clock, when our despatch left Lord's Ground, the score stood as under: PLAYERS. First Innings. T. Humphrey, R. D.

THE REPRESENTATION OF FINSBURY. Last evening a meeting was held on Clerkenwell.green " to de mand adequate representation " for the borough of Fins bury ; Mr. J. Coffey in the chair. There was a pretty good attendance, the majority of those present being mem. hers of the local branches of the Reform League. The borough members had been invited to attend, but they were unable to take part in the proceedings owing to the pressure of their parliamentary duties. Mr. Torrens, M.P., in a letter apologising for his absence, said he fully concurred in the justice of the demand for increased re presentation of the metropolis, and he should have urged arguments in favour of it upon the attention of the House of Commons, but from the feeling that during the present session it would be useless to do so, and that his first duty was to abstain from everything that might risk by delay or otherwise the passing of the Reform Bill. He believed that with the attainment of household suffrage all else that was right and just would become attainable. The chairman said that the lodger franchise would increase the electors of the borough from 2i,000 to double that number, and it was therefore necessary th►t they should have further representation. If they did not get addi tional members, he did not see the use of an in crease in the constituency. Some of the large provincial cities would get increased representation, and he wished to know on what principle London, with rateable property immensely greater than that of all those places together, was denied the same advantage. Mr. Upshall moved the ' first resolution, which was to the effect, "That owing to the inadequate representation granted by parliament to the borough of Finsbury, being a disgrace and an insult to its labouring population, it was the intention at the earliest opportunity of the constituents to put forward candidates as additional members for the borough, those candidates being taken from the ranks of the working men." The resolution was carried unanimously. The fol lowing resolution was also carried :—" That in the opi nion of this meeting of the linen of Finsbury the Reform Bill now before the House of Commons is thoroughly inadequate to the political requirements of the people of England, notwithstanding that many importing additions have been made to it in consequence of the demands made by the people, and the sincerity and energy of such liberal members of parliament as Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Mill. We, therefore, once more pledge ourselves never to cease agitation in behalf of political enfranchisement until the whole manhood of the nation is equitably represented in the House of Commons." THE ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION OF MAN PHENTER.—The Trades Unionist Political Association and the council of the Reform League met in Manchester on Saturday afternoon, to consider the course of action in view of the Reform Bill becoming law. Amongst the re solutions accepted was one recommending the adoption of such arrangements as would ensure the enrolment of working men in the lists of voters throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire, and by another, passed unanimously, Mr. Ernest Jones was selected "as the most fitting man to represent the city of Manchester as its third member in the House of Commons."—Mandieske Exastiaer. THE SHEFFIELD OCTRAGEE. —A monster meet ing of the working men of Sheffield was held in Paradise square, Sheffield, yesterday evening, for the purpose of expressing indignation at numerous trade outrages which have been the subject of inquiry by the commission. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. R. StAinton and other gentlemen, by whom the following resolution was drawn up :—" That this meeting of thousands of the working men of Sheffield most emphatically declares that it views with the deepest shame and abhorrence the systematic crimes which have disgraced the trades of the town ; yet it rejoices that the source of the evil has now be n unequivocably revealed ; and it earnestly calls upon all members of trades unions so to watch the management of their affairs and the use of their funds that the money of honest men, contributed for lawful purposes, may never again be perverted to the employment of assassins and in cendiaries, whose deeds are an outrage to humanity."

The stock markets to-day are characterised by dulness of tone, and prices generally exhibit a drooping tendency. Attention is principally directed to the preparations for the monthly settlement to-morrow in the English funds. As was anticipated, these arrangement& show that most of the recent purchases were speculative, and in some cases weak operators have been com pelled to close their accounts, thus causing a reduction of A per cent. in Consols. The bulk of the stock, however, has been carried over to the next account at about 2i per cent. per annum, the supply of money in the Stock Exchange being superabundant, owing to the payment of the divi. dends. Most of the British railway securities have given way, as well as some of the foreign bonds. The payment of the dividends to-day has largely increased the floating supply of capital, and, with a very moderate demand, choice bills are taken at two per cent., or ti below the Bank rate. In the Stock Exchange short loans on English govern ment securities are offered at 17, per cent. per annum. Consols are now quoted 941 to /, ex div., for money and NI to I, ex div., for the new account (August 8). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are steady, at 931 to 94. Foreign Stocks are dull, and a reduction of 1 per cent. is observable in Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, and Italian of 1861. On the other band Spanish Certificates are 1 better. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 56 to 57, ex div. ; ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 311 to 1, ex div.; Greek, 141 to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 221 to 23 ; ditto Certifi cates, 151 to / ; Italian of 1861, 481 to 49, ex div. ; and Mexican, 161 to R. United States 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Central Railway shares have improved 1 to 1 per cent., the present prices being 73 to 1 and 791 to 1, respec tively. Erie, however, have declined 1 per cent., viz., to 431 to 1. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are inactive, the former are quoted IN to 1 , and the latter 44 to 4. The only movement in financial shares is a rise of ss. in Credit Foncier, viz., to N to 51 dis. General Credit are quoted to 11 dis. ; Inter national Financial, 2 to 11 dis. ; and London Financial, 22 to 21 dis. The annual meeting of the Pacific Steam Na vigation Company will be held on the 31st inst., when a resolution will be submitted in favour of increasing the capital of the undertaking and ex tending the limits of its operations. The influence of the coming vacation season is already making itself felt, and it is evident that the public are not yet tired of looking at their idle money; though all experience leads to the belief that just in proportion to the duration of their apathy will be the force of the accumulation and the ultimate eagerness of its possessors to rush into every description of enterprise. The amount of the dividends payable to-day on Consols and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. and Two-and-s-Half per Cents. is about six millions sterling, without reckoning the dividends on the India Five per Cent. Stock and numerous other securities due at this period. A meeting of the holders of the debt of the re public of Honduras was held yesterday at the office of the committee of Spanish American Bondholders, when the proposal made on behalf of the govern ment for the settlement of the debt was accepted. The Warrior Queen has arrived from Otago, New Zealand, with 14,0001. in gold. The mail steamer for Brazil, which will leave to-day, will take 7,500/. in silver, and 2,5501. in gold. A dvices from Liverpool announce the failure of Messrs. Mellor and Southall, an old and respectable firm in the Brazilian trade. The position of tie house appears to have been weakened of late by the death of one partner and the retirement of another, as well as by some large losses in cotton. 'The liabilities are roughly estimated at upwards of 300,0001., and it is thought that the liquidation will turn out unfavourably. A telegram, dated Calcutta the 4th inst., has been received from the Bank of Bengal (govern ment) announcing a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the six months ending June. The report of the directors of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 12th instant, refers to the com mercial convulsion and great prostration in trade which marked last year, and which, combined with the severe competition experienced by the company on its old lines in New Zealand, have affected its receipts. On the other hand, con gratnlatory reference is made to the fact that the Panama line has been worked at • fair profit from the commencement. The past year's accounts, after allowing for insurance and appropriations to repairs, renewals, &c., show a debit balance of 6,5431., or, including the interest on debentures and other home expenses, a total of 18,6061. This is reduced by the previous credit balance of 9,0251. to 9,5811., so that no dividend can now be paid. The directors express an opinion, however, that the circumstances are entirely exceptional, and that " the recurrence of any such loss is highly improbable," especially as the earnings on the Panama line are increas ing, trade is reviving, and the number of competing vessels is being reduced. The total amount of subsidies now payable to the company is 128,900/. per annum. The report concludes by referring to the undeviating punctuality with which, with only a single exception, the Panama, New Zealand, and Sydney contract has been performed. The directors of the North Western Bank (Limited) have declared an interim dividend for the six months ending the 30th ult. at the rate of per cent. per annum, payable on the 18th iust. It is stated that before the creditors of the Bir mingham Banking Company can be paid in full the contributories will hove to pay a further call of 10!. per share. The traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 21st ult., shows a deciease of 521. The transfer books of the General Credit and Discount, te 9 Companyhth,unti ( L imited ) Mday, will th be e cl l ° s Bed th mat., ro fm Ti both days inclusive. The Crystal Palace Company have advertised the half-yearly dividends as payable on the 15th inst. on their preference and debenture stocks. MONDAY Humana.

Foreign stocks were very inactive. and prices in most cases unaltered. Italian of 1861 and Turkish of 1865 rose per cent., while Spanish Passive and Certificates declined I to I. Bank shares were dealt in to a moderate extent. London and Westminster were better, and Ask W. , , 2, 11 to Union of London showed firmness. On the other hand, Imperial Ottoman and London Joint Stock were rather dull. Colonial government securities were inactive, and prices showed no alteration. MINE&-(17118 DAY.) 011 o'OLoos.

The amount paid is June was far in advance of any previous mouth this year, and the advance just announced in the price of tin will add considerably to the profits of the tin mines. Tan WZATHER AND THE CHOrs.—Nothing could be more opportune than the showers which have fallen during the week. They may have caused some slight said brief interruptions to haymaking operations, but many farmers by no means object to a little rain on the swathe, while the brisk breezes and warm sun very soon dry up all again. So far as the hay harvest is concerned the weather has throughout been unusually favourable. That which has been stacked has been gathered in in splendid wadi- Lion, and the hay crop of 1867, both as regards quality and quantity, bids fair to surpass the records of the last few summers. There is, however, a far larger breadth of grass still " out" thau might have been anticipated, looking to the fact of the extraordinarily fine weather which has prevailed. The truth is that while the crop is more than usually abundant, labour is more than ordivari/y scarce, and difficult to command.. The weather of the past week has been highly favourable for the wheat, grain, and root crops. The wheat, were very slightly laid by the heavy showers of Monday and Wednesday evening—and only in exceptional cases, whilst the benefit which the crops in general experienced from the refreshing downpour was almost incalculable Barley, oats, beans, peas, and potatoes alike wanted rain and every drop that fell did its mission. As regards the wheats, the blooming time has been most propitious, and should tine weather continue, there is every promise of a full average crop of this grain. Of barley and oats the prospects perhaps are scarcely so eneounging, hut there is nothing at present to lead to the conclusion that they will not be up to • fair average. Beans and peas are oking better—the last week's rains Lavin, been highly Iwnetitial. Potatoes have decidedly bene fi ted by the showers, but there is still the complaint that those which have been dug up are smaller in sue than is usual at this time of year. the accounts from the hop districts vary considerably. In fact we have now arrived at the period when we may consider all reports as more or less—to use a new•fasbioned phr.die—" sensa tional." A soaking shower—a day of high wind or hot sun—a foggy night or touch of frost in early morn—eaelt and all of these events suffice to give a tone to the week's report, according to the temperament et the observer. ~~ 1.•41•1
