H on our will remaan In town for a fortnight, and Mr. c7onissioner Goulburn will then sit in Chambers until the lit of October, when the regular sittings of tlte court vi g be resumed before Mr. Commissioner Winslow. Th e business dispose dof to-day did not ss any figure o f sufficient interest to call for a de 'tai ed report. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) Waller Watson, 17, the lad who was convicted on w e dneedity of a rape upon a respectable young girl named *oh* Hunt, was brought up for judgment. The learned judge said that the prisoner had been con victed of a very serious offence upon the clearest evidence, sadbut for the recommendation of the jury he should passed a much more serious sentence than the one he w as a bout to inflict, which was that he be kept in penal l ei/Rude for the space of five years. (Before the Recorder.) Preto Loren o, an Italian sailor, aged 30, was charged p ith feloniously wounding William Ward, with intent to murder him. Daly prosecuted. The prosecutor in this case was a police-constable of the division, and it appeared that in the night of the sth of July he wad on duty in St. Oeorze's-street, formerly Rat cliffe -highway, when he saw the prisoner and a number of other persons standing at the corner of a street quarrelling sad making a noise. He went up to them and asked them to go away , and put his hand upon the prisoner's shoulder sad asked him to pro home. The moment he did so the pri weer drew a knife and made several stabs at him, but the prosecutor warded them off with his truncheon. While this was going on some one in the crowd called out to the prosecutor that one of the prisoner's companions was about to stab him from behind, and he turned round, and at the same instant the prisoner thrust the knife into hie belly. He then ran away but was pursued and taken into custody. It appeared that he was somewhat the worse for liquor at the time the affair took place. The prisoner said he was so drunk at the time that he did not know what took place, and he was Coneided of un lawfully wounding and sentenced to 12 months' hard ]•boar. Edward Rirharthon, 23, was charged with feloniously assaulting John Francis Mitchell, and robbing him of a watch. Mr. Thompson prosecuted, and Mr. Griffiths defended the prisoner. This was rather a singular case. The prosecutor was a palioe•constable, belonging to the City force, and it appeared that on the evening of the 30th of July be was in High-street, Aldgate, in plain clothes, when he saw the prisoner and another man hustling several women, and apparently attempting to rob them. After having ob served was going on for some time, the prosecutor went up to the prisoner, and told him that he was a police-constable, and that he should take him into custody for attempting to pick pockets. The moment he said this the prisoner exclaimed, " What's your D mr and snatched at the prosecutor's watch and broke it from the guard and threw it to another man, who ran off with it. The prosecutor then attempted to secure the prisoner, but he made a most desperate resist ance, struck the constable several times, and finally laid hold of him and threw him over his shoulder, and he fell with great violence upon his head. The prosecutor called upon the bystanders to assist him, but none of them did so. Fortunately, however, while the struggle was going on, another constable came up, and the prisoner was secured. Mr. Griffiths made an ingenious speech to the jury for m e re ly defe beence. He endeavoured to show that there ha an d n a scuttle and struggle between the parties d that the watch had been stolen by some one in the crowd, sad strongly pressed upon the jury the great improba bility that the prisoner should have robbed a man whom he knew to be a policeman. The Recorder having summed up, The jury, after having deliberated for a considerable , expressed a wish to retire. They were absent about sa hour, and on their return into court they found the rigour Gni/le. Evidence was then given that the prisoner was a well known thief, and that he had been twice convicted of felony, and on the last occasion he was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour, and he had only been at liberty twenty-four hours when the present offence was committed. The prisoner was sentenced to seven years' penal ser vitude. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) ROW-STREET. NOW CRUELTY IS MADE TO PAT. Thomas Salt, proprietor and driver of a four-wheel cab, appeared to a summons preferred at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charging bite with ill-treating a horse when in an unfit condition to work. Mr. Love, the chief officer of the society, said this was a case of a kind too frequently arising amongst small cab owners. Old and worn-out horses, really past work and only tit fur the knacker, were purchased at little more than knocker's prices, and worked until they fell, or until they attracted the notice of some constable, on the calcula tion that they would fetch pretty nearly as much when ultimately slaughtered as they had cost. If detection could be evaded for a long period the success of the " dodge" was hi,,thly encouraging, but if it could only be carried on for a few weeks it was still much cheaper than hiring a horse. Of course when detected they were willing enough to have the animal slaughtered. Lately, however, the inagistrates had adopted the course of im posing a penalty in addition to the destruction of the annual. The present case was aggravated by the circumstance that the prisoner was well aware of the unfitness of the horse for work, for when re monstrated with by the officer he said that be knew the horse was not fit for work, but he was only using it for a while as he was short of • horse, but that he could now do without working it any more, and would have it killed. Ho did, however, work it on the following day. Mr. Curling, of King's Bench-walk, solicitor, and Frederick Young, one of the society's constables, described the state of the horse, which was lame, in poor condition, aged, and completely worn out. The defendant said he had the horse killed the second day after the officer spoke to him. Mr. Flowers fined him 200., which he paid. CLERKENWELL. CONEITTAL FOR STEALIM: A WATCH PARRY:VIED ST THE LATE. SIR ROBERT FREI.. Ellen Cnrrisan, described as a domestic servant, was eharod with stealing two gold watches, the property of Mr. William Rose, licensed victualler, and proprietor of the King's Head public-house, Great Mitchell-street, St. Luke's, of the value of 50/. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, attended for the prosecution ; sad Mr. Harris, barrister, defended. Mr. Ricketts opened the case at some length. He said that the prisoner had been in the employ of the prosecutor forsbout a week, and on Tuesday, the 7th of the present *oath, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Sou went out, leaving the prisoner in her bedroom, clean ing it Before Mrs. Ross left she told the prisoner that when she had finished the room she was to lock it, and take the key to her niece, the barmaid. At that time the watches weresafe under glass shades. Mrs. Ross had not beenabsent asxe than five minutes when the prisoner went to the bar without her bonnet and asked the aid if she might go at to the surgeons for about five minutes as she felt very 11 1. Mr. Ross canto home about ten minutes afterwards, tad being informed of the absence of the prisoner he Ile to see if the watches were safe. He was informed ikit they were gone, and as the prisoner did not return he gave information to the police, and in the course of tho evening police-constable Miller, HS G, an active plain-clothes constable, met the prisoner at the corner of Great Wild-street, Drury-lane. She was very violent and drunk, an 1 it was with the greatest diffi culty that she could be got to the police-station. When eke was told the charge, she said the constable would have a job to find the witches ; and at the police-station she sead she was innocent. Every endeavour had been made to find the watches, but without success. Yr. Harris said the case was only one of suspicion, and mud that had the prisoner returned there would have been be Pretence for charging the woman with robbery. He con leaded that no jury would convict, and it would only be Potting the county to unnecessary expense to send the etae for trial. 1 4. Ricketts said that one of the watches had been pre sented to his client by the late Sir Robert Peel. If the Prisoner or her friends would give information where the watches were they did not wish to press the charge, or the Prosecutor would oven pay to recover the watches. The magistrate committed the case to the Mid dlesex Sessions for trial, and refused baiL MARLBOROUGH STREET. CAPTURE IF M.:VIRILE BEROLARB.

They did not succeed in opening the door, and left. After standing at the corner of Marlborough street for a short time, they went to Tyler-street, Regent street, and went up to the door of a watchmaker* No. 14, and Croft took the " jemmy " from his ' pocket, and forced it three times between the door and the doorpost, this being about 1 o'clock. Some persons in the house making a noise they all started off. Hollowed them, and at the top of King-street, seized the prisoners but the others ran away sa fast as they could. Croft on the way to the station threw a piece of candle on the ground, and afterwards handed me the jemmy which he took from his pocket saying ' Here, Mr. Cole, you may as well have thin." On searching the prisoners we found seven inciters on each. On examining the doors this morning I found one mark between the door and door post of 46. Poland street, and three similar marks on the door of No. 16, Tyler-street, all corresponding with the " jemmy." A young man in the employ of Mr. Foster said there were no marks on the door before last night. Mr. Cleak proved findin4 some marks on his door this morning and stated that his wife hearing a noise got up, and that no doubt alarmed the prisoners. Sergeant Cole asked for a remand, which was granted. As the prisoners were leaving the court Croft said, "Cole, we'll take a stretch (12 months' imprisonment) for our bit."

CUTLERS' FEAST AT SHEFFIELD. —The COM mittee of the Cutlers' Company, after mature deliberation, have decided that there shall be no cutlers' feast this year. They could not come to any other conclusion, seeing that I the new dining-hall and the other important alterations in the building are yet far from completion. The cutlers' feast is a time-honoured and it may be considered almost a national institution ; no doubt, therefore, many will regret that the year ISC4 will pass away without witness ing the usual gathering of the Master Cutler and his guests. Every effort has been made to complete the alte rations, so as to enable the company to avoid the break which is now inevitable ; but the magnitude of the work i' such :is to render its completion impossible in time. When completed, the Cutlers' Hall of Sheffield will be second to no similar building in the provinces. —Shelia,/ Daily Telegraph. CHILDREN AND CHOLERA.—The following letter from Mrs. Gladstone ' dated 11, Carlton-house-terrace, August 15, appears in the Tints:—" I am anxious to ten der my heartiest thanks to the kind friends who have already subscribed at this moment of great anxiety to the Temporary Home for the Children Recovering from Cholera : will you again give me your valuable help! I wish to extend the plan. Let us not be content with half • work, but mike the home a permanent one, and establish it in good air. The cases of children left orphans and unpro vidod for are so overwhelming that permanent provision from the present fund would be impossible ; therefore, I appeal to the public to support a free orphanage. The cost will be great, but not too great for our metropolis. Various schemes have been put forward in this trying moment, and public charity has been directed to more than one channel 'Would it not be far better to coucentrate these funds fur one free orphanage, tho foundation of which has been already laid by those kind friends who ha so generously responded to my appeal . lam persuaded I shall meet with a noble response.' PLEDGE AGAINST PEW-RENTS.—The " pledge ' which hes long been a favuurite weapon in the total absti nence and other movements, has at last been applied against pew-rents. The following has been put into circulation by the Free Church Society :—" I, the undersigned, be lieving that any ' charge' for the means of grace, or for the ordinances of Christianity, and any ' respect of persons God's house because they pay or don't pay, is against God's command in Holy Scripture, and unjust to the poor, engage never to pay any pew-rent, so long as I continues member of the Free Church Society.—Bath Express. ScHOOL EXCURSION AND TREAT.—Yesterday about 600 of the children and friends of the Northern Schools of St. Martin-in-the-fields marched with flags and banners flying from their schools in Castle street, Long-acre, to Ludgate-hill station, where a special train was in readiness to convey them to the pleasant common of St. Mary Cray, Kent. A very sub stantial dinner and tea were provided by the liberality of the parishioners and other friends.

REDUCTION IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. Woe o'CLoci. The directors of the Bank of England have to day reduced the rate of discount from 10 per cent., at which it was fixed on the 12th of May, to 8 per cent. The attendance of merchants and others at the Bank this morning was very large, and the announcement was received with loud cheers. It is believed that the weekly return, made up to yesterday afternoon, will exhibit an important im provement. The money market is quiet, but it is expected that the demand will increase later in the day, owing to the extent to which bills have been kept back in anticipation of a reduction in the official minimum. The rate is quoted at 8 per cent., but transactions will probably take place during the afternoon at a fraction below. The discount establishments have not yet de cided upon their terms for deposits, but it is ex pected that they will allow 5 per cent. for money at call, 6 at seven days' notice, and 7 at fourteen days' notice. The stock and share markets are rather firm, but the improvement in prices is neither general nor important, notwithstanding the decline in the value of money. The reduction in the official minimum was generally looked for, and fresh business is checked at the moment by the unfavourable state of the weather for the harvest. The fortnightly settle ment which still occupies the attention of the dealers, will be completed this afternoon. Consols have advanced ,l, per cent. for money, but are unchanged for the account. Foreign bonds and English railways are better in some cases, the chief rise being in Great Northern. Banking and financial shares exhibit no movement worthy of notice, but the tendency of prices is somewhat satisfactory. Consols are now quoted S 8 to for money, and 88 5-16 to 7-16, or 88g, for the account (Sep tember 6). The dealings in foreign stocks are upon a very moderate scale, and prices generally are quoted the same as yesterday. There is a demand, how ever for Turkish of 1815, Italian of 1861, and Mexi can Bonds, which have risen nto per cent. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 49 to 51 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to ; Greek, 10 to 111 ; Spanish Passive, 19 to Is : ditto Certificates, 14k to it ; Italian of 1861, 52 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 4k to dis. ; and Mexican, 16g to United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway shares are unchanged, but Illinois Central have advanced 1 per cent. The present quotations are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 68i to ; Erie Railway shares, 421 to 43 ; and Illinois Central, 75 to 1. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have un proved 2s. 641., viz., to 121 to I, while Atlantic Telegraph show no variation, at 31 to k. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 17, dis. ; Credit Foncier, 31 to 3 dis. ; and National Discount, 7 to ' prem. HALF-PAST TIIREE OTLOCR. Consols are dull, at 88 tot for money, and 881 to g for the account. About 83,000/. in gold has been sent into the Bank. The demand for money at that establish ment has been very good. . At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.90, being !, per cent. lower. The liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) have decided to make the call of 101. on the 20th inst. at the London Tavern instead of at the offices of the company, owing to the expected attendance of a large number of the shareholders, who are entitled to be prelent to offer objections to the call. It is feared that the ultimate liquida tion will turn out more disastrous than was origi nally anticipated. The tenders for bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, Rs. 29.64.000 •to Madras, Bs. 90.000 ; and to Bombay, Rs. 2.94.406. The minimum price was as before, viz., Is. 10d. on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 104 d. on Bombay. All tenders at and above the minimum will receive in full. The advioes from Manchester announce the failure of Messrs. W. Hopwood and Son, spinners and manufacturers, of Burnley with liabilities esti mated at about 70,0001. The accounts from Bel fast report the stoppage of s firm in the flax trade, but the liabilities in this case are understood not to exceed 40,0001. At Birmingham, Mr. Joseph Fletcher, of the Spring Hill Iron Sheet Mills, ham suspended payment, owing to heavy losses and the depressed state of trade. ' With reference to the late Birmingham Banking Company, the Birmiiiyham Daily Post of yesterday contains the following : From an advertisement It will be seen that, in com pliance with a requisition from some of the shareholders, the mayor (Mr. E. Yates) has called a meeting of share holders in the late company, to be held at 1 o'clock on Friday next, in the committee room of the Town ball. The object of the meeting is to discuss " the best mode of procedure in order that a full investigation may be made relative to the stoppage of the bank ; and to adopt such measures as may be thought advisable to protect the inte rests of the shareholders." It is understood that resolu tions will be proposed calling upon the directors of the late bunk to make a full disclosure of the downward pro. gress of the business, and the causes which led directly to the stoppage ; and we believe, also, that it will be proposed to appoint a committee of shareholders to make an inves tigation, and to take such proceedings as they may be advised. The well-known coffee-house, Gsrraway's, was closed on Saturday last, and it is believed that the building will be pulled down to make room for City improvements. The establishment is supposed to have existed for nearly 300 years, and is re ported to have been the scene of the fir st introduc tion of tea and of the concoction of the South Sea bubble. It was long famous as one of the most popular places of commercial resort in London. The site of the building was formerly occupied by a convent, of which several interesting traces still remain.

LONDON AND (T SOUTH HIS DAY.) WESTERN RAILWAY. This afternoon tho half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the above company was held at Hawkstone-hall, Waterloo-road ; Mr. C. CAaTLE)IAN (the deputy-chairman) presiding. The minutes of the previous meetings having been read and confirmed, The report, of which we have already published an abstract, was taken as read. It recommended a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum payable on the let of in. I Pd. I 100 ail St. 100 40 ' September. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report and accounts, and gave a detailed explanation of the results of the half-year's working, and of the measures affecting the company which have been before parliament during the past session. He stated that his occupation of the chair on that occasion was due to the serious indis position of Captain Mangles. It was always painful, he said, for directors to meet shareholders with a aiminished dividend, but the company had kept its dividend higher than inauy of its neighbours. The causes which led to the diminution had nothing to do with the permanent good of the line. A large amount of additional railway had been opened during the last 12 months. The earnings per train mile hail not been less than in former years, but they had not received the additional traffic they had reason to expect, while at the same time there had been additional outlay, owing to the increased mileage run over. The monetary crisis Mel had its effect upon the dividend by preventing a great deal of pleasure traffic which would otherwise have come upon the line, and that was one reason why the passenger traffic hail not ' kept pace with the increased mileage. The company had also suffered from the cattle plague, which had stopped their large cattle traffic from Salis bury, Yeovil. and Exeter, to London, and also the large trade from France by Southampton, which alone was worth to the company 300/. a week. Moreover, they hail a large extent of undeveloped line, a valuable portion of which they had been unable properly to develope, owing to the unfortunate circumstances in which the London, Chatham, and Dover Company were placed. In conse quence of the high prices of provisions the directors had found it impossible to resist a demand for an in crease of the wages of those in their employ ; there had been an increase in the price of all materials, and the increased mileage run over had increased the cost of maintaining the permanent way. There was no doubt that the expenditure had been increasing each half year, and the finance committee had the matter under their serious consideration, and were surveying the whole of the working portion of the line. with a view to ascertain how far the expenses could be reduced. The directors would do their hest to keep down the running expenses, so far as that could he done without detriment to the company or interference with the convenience of the traffic. Dunng the past session I bill x affecting the interests of the company were introduced into parliament, of which It were abandoned, 5 were lost by the opposition of this com pany before they went into committee, 4 were thrown out in committee. 1 passed with clauses accepted by this and the Great Western Company, and the remaining one, the Hounslow and Metropolitan Railway Bill, passed in spite of every opposition they could offer. Their relations with other companies were most friendly, and their desire was peace. But for the necessity of tak ing up speculative lines promoted to make money from the existing companies, the South Western Railway would pay at least 7 or $ per cent. Mr. HI-WHIRR seconded the motion. Mr. Witiover said the company were now reaping the fruits of past errors in taking up new lines. The business was proceeding when our report was despatched. In the course of the foregoing proceedings the an nouncement by the Chairman that the Bank of England had to-day reduced their rate of discount to 8 per cent., . I was received with loud cheers. in FALL OF A Bouss (THis DAY).—SSE IN ro SEVERAL YER.SONS.—Thismorning, about 7 o'clock, the house, No. 6, Ely-court, St. Andrew's, Holborn, fell with a loud crash, and did serious injury.

THE HARVE.sT IN Yiiimutiiite.—The weather during the last two days Las considerably improved, and yesterday the farmers in this district wire actively eo,- ployed in loading the late crops of log. In moat cases the hay was of bad colour, and the quality very inferior. Thu harvest has also c.orainenced in this neighbourhood, and should the weather continuo favourable it will become ge neral in ten days or a fortnight.--Lavis Mercury. HA RVEsT BR, ,SPEI.Ta—Li Neer LNSHI RE.— Anoi• sT Is.—There are appearances of the weather becomiiig more settled, and farmers are taking advantage of the change. A few days of favourable weather, and a great breadth of grain will be cut, but the harvest cannot wiw be an early ote. Wheat, on the whole, promises well, but the recent heavy rains have laid it very much in sortie districts. Barley, generally speaking. is also looking well, and indicates about un average yield. Everything. however, now depenile upon fine weather. Oats are a variable crop. In the district around Grantham wheat and barley arc looking well, and oats also promise frtedavof oura and bly manrld. From me and re districts beans are favourably repo, turnips have been much improved by the late rains. Upon the whole, harvest prospects are (with continued fine weather) favourable in this great agricultural county. MAN UrAirrl' EE 0? FRESH BUTTER. —At the Derby police court on Monday. after the usual business of the court had terminated, Mr. Hilton, head countable, said on Friday afternoon a woman purchased a ponnd of butter under the following circumstances :—After the regular butter market is over, several persons re siding in Derby get outride the market wit). butter baskets, and sell to all late corners. Amongst these was a woman named Lthan, who, seeing the woman referred to looking into her butter ,sltet, asked her to taste it. She did so, and Laban said as it was the last pound she bad got the would take a shilling for it, although the market price was Is. 4d. per lb. The woman bought it, took it home, and, on squeezing it into a butter pot, a cupful of water came from it. She showed it to her I neighbours, and they thinking it was not all right, the but ter was brought to him (Mr. Hilton). In the meantime the woman Laban had returned into the market with another basket full of butter, and he (Mr. Hilton) sent to purchase a pound, for which be paid Is. 4d. It was similar butter to that she had widths woman on Friday, and on Saturday he put the butter through one process, by which he ex tracted a cupful of water. He then put it through a second proeess, by which he extracted the colouring, and there then remained nothing but beef dripping. The colouring was annatto. It was a clear case of fraud by obtaining money under false pretences, and be should ask the bench to a warrant againse the woman Lilian. The bench ordered a warrant to be issued.
