REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEL The select committee appointed to inquire into the operation of the present scale of sugar duties, with espe cial reference to their assessment upon • classification ao oordieg to the quality of the sugar, have agreed to the fol lowing report : "Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this committee, " I. That the amount of revenue now derived from .ugar could not, with justice to the consumers of the lower classes of Rugar, be raised by any uniform duty applicable to all classes. "2. That it is not possible to charge sugars with duties varying exactly with the quality or value. " 3. That it is necessary to maintain the principle of a scale of duties, with stand►rds designed to include several o.,mes of sugar within each range of duty. •• f. That the duties ought to be so regulated as to encou rage the largest possible supplies of sugar from the v►rious sources of production, in whatever form the same may be imported, whether as refined sugar, or in combination with other substances to be afterwards separated by the process of refining. .• 7i. That the existing scale maybe rendered more equita ble by such an alteration as shall admit, at lower relative rates of duty, the inferior portion of the sugars which are now liable to pay 12w Bd. and IGs. respectively. "G. That sufficient evidence ham been laid before the committee to warrant the conclusion that such alterations might be made without any important risk to the revenue. "7. That the evidence does not jurtify the committee in recommending the adoption of refining in bond. " July 6." THE MORAIC DECORATION OF ST. Pan:N.—The Poet says that St. Paul's v to be adorned with a series of aerie pictures. Such, it is well known, has been long the with of Mr. Penrose, but various causes, of which the most efficient was the small amount of the funds at the disposal of the dean and chapter, have hitherto prevented the wish of the architect from being realised. In his zeal for the embellishment of St. Paul's, Mr. Penrose has resolved that these obstacles shall no longer impede the prosecution of the work. With the entire approval of Br. ?Adman Le is now about to give e ff ect to the de sign of pla cing eight mosaic pictures in the eight span drels, or triangular spaces between the great arches of the dome, by having the first of these pictures executed on his own pecuniary guarantee. The first mosaic picture, to be commenced with the least possible delay, will have, we understand, fur its subject a head of St. Paul. It wdl occupy the spandrel in the right side of the great arch, through which one looks towards the altar. In the corre sponding spandrel, on the left side of the altar, will be the head of St. Peter. The four evangelists, with St. Stephen sod St. John the Baptist, will complete the series of the eight mosaics. The execution of this magic decoration has keen entrusted to the Chevalier Salviati, of Venice. ScaNa IN A CHURCH. —A correspondent of the Be/fag Ness Letter describes an extraordinary contest which took place last Sunday in Ocalalaud Church, county Tyrone. Two gentlemen disputed about the right to a seat, and began a regular fight in the Male. They were separated by . the congregation, but they agreed to meet again in the evening and fight it out in the same place, and the victor was to have the seat. From the social position of the parties concerned and the unusual place where the quarrel had begun and was to be fiuished, an immense excitement quickly spread through the town and the adjacent neigh- ' bourhood. The road about the church was crowded with people of every denomination, and the green and fence in front of the church were filled with people, most of them weaken, not belonging to the congregation. Mr. Little, J.P., having received intelligence of what had occurred, sent into Dungannon for a party of police. They came out to Coalislaod just as the people were collecting for evening service, and prevented the unseemly disturbance. OYSTERS AT SOUTHAMPTON. —The first cargo of Jersey oysters for the season has just been bedded at South ampton. Oyster dredging has commenced in Southampton water. Enormous quantities of oysters are found there, sod the beds extend down to the coast of Osborne, her Majesty's residence in the Isle of Wight. These oysters are small, of superior flavour, and are conveyed bong dis tances to be laid down, natur alised, and afterwards sold as natives. The shell of the Southampton oyster is much darker than that of oysters on the Sussex coast. Whitatrible in Kent, produces the finest oysters. The oyster dredge used at Southamptoo is made of steel, and dredging a hard work, on account of the tenacity with which oysters cling to substances on which they have grown. The Jersey oystm-s are of immense sizo, and it is believed of grad age. Some of their shells are perfectly honeycombed, like aged timber. They have a remarkably saline flavour when first brought over from the Channel Islands, which goes off after they have been for some time bedded at Southampton. Dogfish are now singularly; plentiful in Southampton-water. THE CHARGE OF BANK-NOTE FORGERY AT Bluniirow.—The hopes that were entertained that the ap prehension of the young man named Lee, at Brighton, who was charged with pegging some notes printed on the stolen paper, would lead to the discovery of the thieves and forgers have been disappointed, as Lee turns out t..) be re pectably connected, and his identity with the man who passed the notes cannot be proved. At the adjourned exa mination of Lee on Tuesday, George Starr, assistant to Mr. Corder, linendraper, in whose shop one of the 51. notes bad been lamed, deposed that the man who passed the note was twenty minutes in his presence, but be could not identify the prisoner, end thought bins not to be the man. The counsel for the prisoner called for the boy in Mr. Corder's shop, who had sworn positi ve ly a t th e previous investigation that the prisoner was the man, in order to cross-examioe him, but Mr. White, the officer of the borough police, who conducted the prosecution, said it was unnecessary, as after the evidence of Starr be should not examine any more witnesses. For the sake of the pri soner and his friends, several witnesses were io attendance to give evidence of his good character and respectability, and among them was M r . R o bi ns , o f th e fi rm o f Robins and Priest, auctioneers, who said he had known the prisoner twenty years and had come at treat personal incon venience to speak to his character. The prisoner was then liberated. ATTEMPT TO POISON A FAMILT.—A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal, writing from Dunstmoghlio, Sept. 1, says :—" It appears that a few weeks ago a female, respectably dressed in black, sad her face covered with a thick veil, called at the gate-lodge of William Johnstone, Esq., J.P., of Clonee, and delivered a large cake to the woman in charge, directing her to take it up to Mrs. John stone, and that she would call in the evening. Mrs. John. stone received the cake, which she thought • strange pre sent, and put it by ; the woman, however, did not call in the evening, and the cake was fortunately safely locked up, and remained in the house for some time. Mr. Johnstone, when leering for Dublin, brought it with him and had it analysed, and it was found to contain a large quantity of arsenic. Who this person can be Mr. Johnstone cannot inneine, tor can the remotest cause be assigned for this desperate anti fiendish attempt to poison this meet respect able family. How she came or went from the locality no one appears to know ; but there are parties in the neigh bourhood who recollect seeing the female there about the time in question." THE FATAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE IN NORFOLK.— NORWICH, Wzonrosoar.—The inquest OS the body of Ann Reynolds, , who died at Deopham, Norfolk, adder circum stances Ara& reported, terminated in the rather strange verdict of"]path from natural causes." It was shown by the evidence of more than one witness that the husband of the deceased, Robert Reynolds, hail behaved with great brutality to her, as he not only struok her violently on the side of the head and knocked her down, but kicked her when she gut up. It was also shown that the deceased was at work for a farmer, named Mod:, living at Deopham, and appeared to be quite well just previously to the prisoner beating her, although after the attack which he made upon h^r she became insensible, and never rallying, died in a few bourn. The surgical eyidenoe, however, although admitting that the death of the woman might have been caused by blows received from her husband, attributed her decease to natural causes, and hence the verdict arrived at. The prisoner Reynolds remains io the custody of the county police, and a charge of manslaughter is to be preferred against him. South AFRICAN itirssioNalarms.—We learn by the Cape mail. just arrived, that among the African sknaries the Rev. Mr. Schroder and two of his children hid died of dysentery. The Rev. R. Pries was sack. The Rev. It. Moffat had been ill, but waa recovering.—Noncon foratire. Messrs. Bacon and Co. have just published a a new shilling map of the seat of war in America.

The unfortunate man, who had to be assisted into the court, and who wan seated whilst giving his evidence, said that the prisoner was cohabiting with his wife. Yesterday he met her, and asked her to return home, but this she declined to do, and went with the prisoner to Westminster with a load of coeds. On her return he again spoke to bar, and asked her for soma pawn tickets, and whilst doing so the prisoner, who said that he (witness) had no business to speak to his (prisoner's) woman, kicked him and struck him several times. He made use of the most dreadful oaths, and laid that he would murder him, and at that moment be took up a large iron spike, and struck him over the I body. Not content with this violence, he struck him again on the head, and forced the iron spike partly into the skull. Had it penetrated but a title further, the surgeon who attended him at the University Hospital said that death must have been instantaneous. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the most callous indifference, mid the oompLiinant had no right to ill uu his wife. All that he did was done in defence of the woman. Impector Fraser, S division, asked for a remand, as eeveral witnesses who saw the affray were not in attend ance. The surgeon at the hospital said that the injured man ought not to have come to the court to-day. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for • week, and re fused bail MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Shaw, hackney carriage attendant at the Oxford Music Hall, in the employ of Mr. Morton, said the defendant brought one of the performers there who told him be could take him back. When the performer came out the cab was not allowed to come up, and when the defendant did get up with his cab the performer was gone. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the police regulations were too sharp. They should let the cab come up and stop a minute. Shaw said there were three or four policemen at the corner of Charles-street, and three or four at the corner of ' Tottenham-court-road, and they would not let an empty cab come either way, and the night before, when it rained, the visitors could not get cabs.

George Reed, 199 H, a police.constable, said that several gentlemen came to the station-house and complained of the prisencr.who was a perfect nuisance, and bad been for 'revere] days appealing to the sympathy of passeigers by exhibiting the stump of his leg. The prisoner was very drunk and noisy last night, and his language and conduct very filthy. The prisoner, who was half naked, shirtless, and covered with dirt, said he was a Sheffield knife-grinder, and mum bled out something about his losing his work, and being half staved. He also complained that the boys hoot ed bun. Mr. Selie— You have no occasion to be in that condition. In distress, indeed ! You were drunk last night.

(;r, Boiler, a middle-aged man, by trade a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Leigh with deserting his wife and family. . _ It ammred from the evidence of the wife, who was deeply affected at her husband's position, that on the 26th of , April last, she was suddenly, and without an. notice, left I to provide for herself sod two children. aged 4 . aud 2 years, that they became chargeable to the perish of Bethnal-green in consequence, and were so now ; moreover, that she in the interim had given birth to a third child, and until this i day had not seen or heanl of her husband since the desertion. Mr. Berton, the relieving officer of the parish, said a debt of 154 bed been incurred by the keep of the family and the expense attendant upon the woman's confinement. Great trouble had been taken to discover the defendant, but with out effect until 3 o'clock this morning, when he was met and apprehended by a police constable of the K division, on ; a warrant. Defendant wished privately to explain to the magistrate the reason of his not earlier having been found, but this was refused, an.l he then expressed his willingness to do so publicly, proceeding to say—" I was in the practice of attending a place of divine worabip before the alleged desertion, and while th ere on one occasion the minister remarked, ' There is a person here living in open sin.' This I knew applied to me, at least I so received it, and subsequently became much troubled in mind. 1 wanted to get away from that sin, but knew not bow, and one day while at work a voice mid, ' Take something from somebody, and yon will get away.' I resolved to do so, went into St. Paul's Church yard, and saw a lady with a gold chain round bite neck looking in a shop window. I was going to take it, but the voice said, • No, that will not do,' and I proceeded to Ludgate-hill ; there I met • who also wore a gold chain. I stole it, was taken °nu itto custody, was month in Newgate, and since then by sentence imprisoned in the gaol of Holloway." Defendant here clasped his hands over his face, leant for ward, sod appeared to be sobbing violently. Mr. - Leigh ordered a remand that this statement might be, so far as regarded the asserted imprisonment, inquired into. VOLUNTEERS' PLATE. Ooe mile.

Raffles Walthew, late last eight, respecting the death of James Chimp, aged three months, who was smotheeed in his mothers arms on Tuesday last, under the following circumstances. Mrs. Gainge said that on the afternoon in question she was walking out with her cousin, and she had the child in her arms. The child began to cry, and she covered up his face with her light shawl. Upon her looking down soon afterwards she was horrified to find him dead. She ran to a doctor, who told her that he had been smot hered. Mr. 'Kennedy, M.R.C.S., said that the last witness came to his surgery iu a most excited state, and showed the de ceased, dead. The child was very healthy and died simply from being smothered. The Coroner said that it was desirable that the public should know that a number of children were constantly smothered in a similar manner. Mothers and nurses cover them up so that not • particle of air can reach them, and they are surprised to find them killed as effectually as if they had been deliberately suffocated. The jury returned a verdict •` That the deceased was smothered while being carried in arms." DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BRADFORD. It was yesterday evening discovered that a mar ried woman, named Ryan, had drowned herself and two children in a dam connected with an iron foundry, situ►ted in Goorge•street, Bradford, belonging to Mr. Onions. The discovery was made about six o'clock ; and the tragedy, it is supposed, as the woman had been seen in the neighbourhood during yesterday after noon, was committed shortly before that time. All the bodies were recovered, and were removed to the Britannia Hotel. Mary Ryan was about 22 years of ace, and the wife of James Ryan, • iourneyman tailor, with whom she resided in • cellar-dwelling, in Lower Ebenezer street, Bradford. Her children were Joseph Patrick Ryan, aged two and a half years, and an infant of nine months named Mary Ann Ryan. It is said that the poor woman led • very unhappy life, in consequence of diffe rences with her husband. Her mother states that yester day morning the husband showed his violent conduct to wards his wife by sharpening a knife and threatening to cut her throat. The bodies were found widely apart, and it is supposed the mother had tossed her children first into the dam and then leaped in herself. The dam is closely surrounded by houses, and it is somewhat surprising that she was not detected in the ant SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAYS. Intelligence has been received at Darlington of a very serious entrap having been committed on Saturday night, in the neighbourhood of Middleton-in-Teesdale. Two poachers were known to be out in the fields in pursuit of game, and Mr. Searth and Mr. Lax, of Staindrop, collected a number of watchers together, and went in search of the depredators. with whom, after a little time, they came up. It is said that they called upon the men to surreuder their arms—which comprised three double barrelled guns. The men refused, when an attempt was made to capture them. Before, however, the parties had approached each other, the poachers deliberately shot two of the watchers, one of whom was seriously injured ; indeed it is rumoured that be had since died, but this is not yet credited. It is likewise ru moured that the men, who were known to the watchers, have been captured. Early on Sunday morning, • desperate affray between two gamekeeper s and three poachers took place on the es tate of J. V. Mackie, Esq., Gatefurd-hall, Worksop. The keepers, named Cook and Pierce, were watching in a held about two o'clock io the morning, when three poachers pre sented themselves, sad begnu to throw stones. An attempt was made to capture them, but they proved too strong for the two keepers; Pierce, who is about 60 years of age, fought pliantly, but waa knocked down and beaten in a most brutal manner, until he became to all appearance dead. His clothe* were also cut in several place* by a knife, which one of the poachers used. Finding the odds too great Cook went to the Hall for residence, and the men decamped. A surgeon was sent for and he found that several of Pierce's ribs were broken, and that he was much cut and bruised about the head. Ile is now out cf danger. A collier named Abbot has been apprehended sal remanded. ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION. ALLEGED INHUMANITY OF WORKHOUSE OFFICIALS." TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPREBB. SlR,—George Crippin, the husband of the deceased woman, upon whom a coroner's inquest is now holding (reported in last night's Express under the above holding), never was, as stated by him before the coroner, in my employ as " waiter or occasional waiter." The waiters engaged on my establishment are all re spectable married men (with but one exception), and I feel indignant at Crippin's assertion that be in any way belonged to their body. It is trde that I have upon several occasions employed him to do sundry repairs in his capacity of a bricklayer, but in no other way.—l am, kc., Music Hall, Welklose-square, Sept. 4 JOHN WILTON.

A man named Clark hastened to the spot in a skiff, but before he could catch hold of King he sank. Clark dived in and succeeded in getting hold of him, but his struggles compelled Clark to let go his hold, and he probably would have shared the melan choly fate of the man he bad eodeavoured to save had he not beet. succoured by some boats hastening to his assistance. About 4 o'clock the same day a youth was drowned in the river near the Thames Tunnel pier. The deceased, together with a waterrnan, was proceeding up to London-bridge, when they ran f ou l of a coal barge, by which the boat half turned over, throwing the boy into the water. The water man succeeded in saving himself.

There is still no political or financial feature of sufficient importance to move the funds, which to day are stationary at yesterday's prices. This being settling day in Consols, the dealers are occupied with the adjustment of the account. The weekly court at the Bank has broken up without any new feature transpiring. As regards English railways business is limited ; Great Northern and Midland stocks are in chief favour to-day. Mexican and Turkish Bonds are heavy, while other foreign stocks show steadiness. Consols are officially marked 931, 1, and 1 for money, and 931 for the new account (Oct. 8). The present quotations are respectively 931 to 1 and 94 to 1. The official busi_ Den report is as follows :—Bank Stook, 240 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 92; New Three per Cents., 911, 921, Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 15 ; India Five per Cent.

The transactions in the foreign stock market have been less numerous. The principal feature is a further relapse in Mexican bonds, owing to reali sations ; the last sales are at 301 ; Italian Five per Cents. continue in demand, with a fa vourable tendency. Spanish Passive bonds and Certificates are likewise in request. The Turk ish Loan of 1858 has declined to 681 to ez div. The New Loan (paid up), is dull at 66E to 67 ; Egyptian, first issue, is quoted 91 to 92, ex div.; ditto second issue, 7 to 8 prem., ex div. ; Portuguese scrip, 21 to 28 prem. ; Vene zuelan, Ito 11 prem. ; and Peruvian, I to 01 Transactions are recorded as follows :—Egyptiaa Seven per Cents., 911, ex div. ; Italian Five per Ceuta., 711, 701, 711 (exchange 25fr.) ; Mexi can Three per Cents., for account, 311, 301 ; New Granada Two per Cents., 26/ ; Portuguese Three per Cents. scrip, 16/. paid, 21, prem. ; ditto paid up scrip, 464 ; Russian Five per Cents., paid-up scrip, 94 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., sq ; Spanish Passive, 184, 1 ; the Committee's Certificates, 91, 3 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 681, ex div. ; Six per Cents., 1862, scrip, OW. paid, 11 dia. ; ditto paid-up scrip, 661, 671, 664. The demand for money, both at the Bank of England and in Lombard-street, was brisker yester day, and there was less disposition to do business below the Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange the supply of money con ; tinues very largo, and the rate for short loans cia English government securities is only about 11 per cent. . . There were again numerous transactions in the Turkish Internal Stock, which closed at 34k to being I higher than yesterday. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have this day appointed Monday, the Bth root, as special settling day in the following securities—viz.: Pe ruvian Government Loan, scrip ; the Continental Company, Limited (Thompson's Boat-Building Pa tents) ; Northern Railway of Buenos Ayres (Limited), 7 per cent. guaranteed preference shares; and East India, Cotton Agency (Limited). All these are to be officially marked, except the Conti nental Company. There were no gold transactions at the BAnk yes terday. The amount sent into that establishment during the week ending last evening is 391,0001., while only 30,000 sovereigns are known to have been withdrawn for exportation. The steamer City of Baltimore, from New York, has brought 1440001. in specie. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was very firm, but the sales did not exceed 5,000 bales. The intimation in the American news that a bill has been introduced into the Confederate Congress for imposing au export duty of 20 per cent. on cot ton demonstrates further the hopelessness of es pecting any supply of the article from that quarter until after the termination of the civil war. _ The usual monthly lidding for bills on India. ' took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The amount offered was 45,00,000 rs., and the minimum prices declared were the same as last month—viz., njd per rupee for bills on Calcutta, and Is. 111 d. per rupee for bills on Bombay and Madras. The applications within the limits amounted to about 150 lees. Tenders for bills on Calcutta above Is. 111 d. will be accepted in full ; those at la. Ilid. will receive about 55 per cent. Those on Bombay at 2s. Old. will receive m full, and at 2s. about 41 per cent. ; and those ea Madras at 2s. will receive in full, and at Is. about 70 per cent. It is rumoured as not improbable that the affairs of Messrs. Zacharieh Pearson and Co., of Hull, may ultimately find their way into the Bankruptcy Court. The liabilities of the firm are large ' • per haps 400,0001. would not be too high an es t i mate, but it is said that the portion unsecured does not exceed 70,0001. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,9281., and the Loudon and South Western an increase of 5,6341. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 16th August were 11,0731. sterling, being 1,1661. more than in the oor responding week of last year. The quarterly meeting of the Nationa' Freehold Land Society was held on the 28th August. The chairman, Mr. Boutems, in moving the adoption of the company's accounts for the last three months, drew attention to the fact that the depoeita in that period had reached 60,950!., as against 38,4181. withdrawn, which he characterised as a highly satisfactory circumstance, as denoting the continued confidence reposed in the society. He mentioned, as another favourable feature, that the members' capital had increased 64,0001. The amount received from the British Land Company, in repayment of the advances made to them, was 37,736'., while the amount borrowed by them was only 14,4121. The rest of the chairman's remarks were chiefly explanatory of the judieions course adopted by the directors in reducing the rate of interest allowed to the company's depositors from 5 to 4 per cent. The accounts were adopted. The fourth and last call of li. sa. is to be paid by the 10th Oct. on the 5 per cent. Irredeemable Preference shares of the Great Northern Railway Company. With reference to the market for American secu rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : During the past week the market for American securities in Loudon has been inanimate, with greater firmness is government stocks. Very few first class railway bonds are offering, otherwise they would command a ready sale for shipment. The ooly speculative feature in the share mar ket is in large purchases of Erie common shares, which does 31f to 32i. WEDNESDAY EVIDMICI. The India Five per Cent.

HARVEST PROSPECTS IN PERTHSHIRE. —The weather during the month of August has been somewhat favourable for the crops, and they have improved greatly. Whist is rusted to some extent, and there will be • defi ciency from this cause on many soils to the extent of a fourth. Spring sown is late, but will be a good sample. Oats, after lea, are to be a good return, and will generally be the brat of the season. Barley is a light crop, but a good sample. The barley bar vest has commenced, sod • good portion will be iu stock by the end of the week. There will be no cutting of oats or wheat for two or three week'. The potato crop has in many parts ripened prima and will be deficient from the want of size. A.• yet there is not much appearance of disease. Turnip, have improved considdrably, and a good yield is now looked for. Pasture has improved under the recent mild weather, but is still somewhat bare.—Edinburgh Courant.
