LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN Si C. N. NOTTALIL. This was a renewed plication for release from custody. Ths bankrupt, des as of Brigadier-hill, Enfield, of ace o empation, owed about 2,2001., and the assets are very d o c ii...fi berni. He had been several weeks in prison, a former on having been directed to stand ova. until a ft er rsi — tting for choice of assignees which was recently held. Mr. Reed supported the application. The Commisaoner, after hearing the facts which have s hady been reported, said the bankrupt might be redeemed upon entering into his own recognisance for 3001. a nd finding another surety for the same amount that he would duly surrender at the various sittings to be held ruder the bankruptcy. Order accordingly. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. DRUM CONDUCT TO A NOT. Joke Morgan, a carman, was placed at the bar before Alderman Rose charged with assaulting a lad named James Fitehanry, 15 years old, and throwing him under the wheel of a waggon. George Berkshire said he was a carman in the employ of Chaplin and Horne. About half-past 5 o'clock the pre vious evening he was in a van with two horses in Upper Thames-street. It was laden with Ash, and he was going at a walking pace. He saw the prisoner strike the injured lad and knock him down on the pavement. The prisoner then caught hold of his legs and threw him into the road underneath the hind part of witness's near horse and the front wheel passed over the boy's instep. Witness stopped the horses before the second wheel came to him. Theboy tried to walk away but he could not, and was taken to the hospital. Alderman Bose remanded the prisoner and refused to take bail. CLERKENWELL. ♦ BOY CHANGED WITH SHOOTING AT ANOTHEIL (korpe White, aged 13, a blackleed maker, residing at 11, Draper's.place, St. Pancras, was charged with injuring William Sherrett, by wilfully firing a pistol at hun in Draper's-place. William Sherrett, an errand boy, stated that last night about 9 o'clock the prisoner put some coals, some paper, and some gunpowder in a pistol. and then fired it at him. The contents of the pistol shot him on the side of the head, bat did not dsw blood, although it made his eye blood shot. It canoed him great pain, and he was taken to a engem. The defendant said that the complainant took a cap off ▪ boy's head and held it up for him to fire at. When he polled the trigger the complainant dropped the cap, and was hit in the face with the paper that was in the pistoL Fiederiek Peebles said that he resided at 12, Draper's *ie and the complainant took off his cap and held it up be the defendant to fire at. The complainant said " Fire," but instead of holding the cap still he dropped it, and the inatenin of the pistol went at the side of the complainant's Lee. The defendant said that there was no coal in the pistol, there was only paper in it. Hr. D'llynyourt said the defendant might have put out the sesaplainant's eyes. He should fine ililll for firing the *do), but he did not think that the defendant intended to ao the complainant any berm. For firing the pistol in the streets he should order the defendant to pay • fine of Is. 6d. or in default to be imprisoned in the Hones of Correction for three days. The defendant was locked up in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNWHOLESOME ram. Cotkoirot Nolan was charged before Mr. Flower. with being drunk and wilfully causing an obstruction in Dudley-street with a basket of fruit. Police-constable Edward Marsh, 163 F, said that on the previous evening he saw the defendant with a basket of fruit in Dudley-street, and, as she was drunk and was causing a great obstruction, and the inhabitants complained of her, be requested her to go away. She refused, and he was in consequence obliged to tale her into custody. The defendant was selling the fruit, which was quite rotten, to poor little children. Barnes, the gaoler, said the fruit (plums) was in the court yard and was in a rotten condition. The defendant asserted that when she bought the fruit it was sound. Mr. Flowers asked her what she had to say to the ob struction. The defendant said she had had a drop with her deter in-law. Mr. Flowers discharged the defendant, at the same time cautioning her not to cause an obstruction and not to all unsound fruit, as it was likely to bring a dieeme now that the cholera was about. The weather continues very stormy from southwest end west on our western and southern coasts. .. . . . . . o;lll;;;;;iieTusiiiiesaia cis coasts the winds bare not been violent since Sunday. A further considerable diminution of barometric pressure has taken place, and an area of very low pressure appears to exist to the northward of Ireland: More wind seems probable from southwest, veering to north west. the north and seat coasts have been spin cautioned to-day . Cautionary Apish were repeated on our other waste yesterday. This morning was issued from the Parliamentary Paper-office a copy of rules and regulations with reference to loans to be made towards the erection of dwellings for the labouring dames under the 29th Vic., c. 28. REPRESENTATION OF BRECON. —The representa tion of Brecon, South Wales, has become vacant by the elevation of the Earl of B recknock to the peerage, as Marquis Camden. The noble earl was returned unopposed only a few months since, on the death of Colonel Lloyd Vaughan Watkins. Mr. Howel Mor, late high sheriff of Merionethshire, a gentleman who has some property in Bricknockshire, is spoken of as a candidate. New REGULATION AT THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS. —Mr. Baron Bramwell yesterday adopted a new regula tion at the judges' chambers to hear counsel at 12 o'clock. His lordship will coetinue the regulation until he is relieved by another judge. Mr. Justice Lush will probably be the ' long vacation " judge in town. THE ENGINE DRIVERS' GRIEVANCES.—A Leeds engine driver writes on this subject :—I could refer you to trains at Leeds which compel men to be on duty seven teen and eighteen hones at a time ; and when I tell you that in all this time there is no interval for either rest or refreshment—no half-hour for breakfast, no hour for dinner—but that we are forced to get a bite when we can, with hands besmeared with oil and tallow, and our bit of meat or cheese and bread thickly peppered with coal-dust, I think you will agree with me that it is high time the public should know rather more about railway servants than they do at present, and that the men should bestir themselves in order that the present system should be altered. It is proposed to hold a conference of en&e. drivers and firemen in London next November.—Deeds Mercury. THE KENTISH Hop TRAM—The hops in the neighbourhood of Maidstone, Bearstead, Leeds , Otham, Thuruham, Bosley, Ayleaford, Allington, Barming, East and West Farleigh, and Loose, have not done much this last week. The cold nights and high winds have checked the burr. Vermin is on the decrease, and there is very little mould. - HHARVEST IN Essas.—The cutting of corn of all descriptions has become rather general in some parts of Essex, and would have been more general but for the recent rains. As to the prospects of the crops, though undoubtedly there is a deficiency in some districts, there ie a hope that the general yield will be better than was at one time expected.—Bs ere Herold. Gamma. —The time for the opening of the Four moors is now approaching, and sportsmen are inquiring what may be the prospects of the season. On the high lands of Yorkshire a disease has prevailed among the birds that has carried off great numbers, being especially fatal to old birds. The low lyins moors have escaped this loss ; and, though the cold weather in May was very destructive to the young birds, there is a pro spect of a fair average season. The late rains have caused the birds to pack, and should the weather continue broken the bags on the opening day may be rather light. In Scotland the prospects both in regard to good stage, plenty of grouse, and other desirable game, are unexceptionably very good and cheering to the sports man. The yorng grouse are quite strong and bee/thy, and able now to take long and vigorous flights when the coveys are broken into. Heavy and full bags may be therefore matey anticipated by the 12th of August from our moors. The reports from the extensive moon of Breadal bane and Athole, with few exceptions, represent grouse, ptarmigan, blackcock, and other birds numerous ; and the accounts given of the fine healthy appearance of all kinds of game are highly encouraging. On the shooting grounds from Aberfeldy to Crieff, • distance of twenty-two miles, and all the way west to Balquhidder, except in • very few instances, the prospects of sportsmen were never more cheering ; and the young broods of all deacrip• tions of game have seldom been aeon at this date stronger or more plentiful. From both the north-east and south west districts of the county the reports are equally favour able in regard to the abundance and fine condition of game. On the Ochil range, which never was much frequented by grouse, owing to the scarcity of cover, and heather for food, the birds are represented to be unusually numerous this season, and not the least trace of disease can be dis covered. BLIND Tow.—The great popularity of this negro pianist in Americo induced some unprincipled speculators to announce • concert after Tom had sailed for England. We copy from the New York Clipper the following parti culars :—" GOINO IT BLIND.—In Wheeling, Va., Blind Tom was announced to give a aeries of entertainments, commencing July 11. ' Only 5,000 tickets will be sold,' says the programme, ' and 3,000 dollars in gifts will be distributed among the ticket-holders.' Well, on the even ing of the 11th the hall was crowded with anxious expect. ants, but neither Blind Tom nor managers were to be seen, and the audience soon discovered that they had been swindled. We are informed that 8,000 tickets had been disposed of at one dollar each. Tickets and ticket holders were alike—sold." Durcu Ressiew RanwaT.—Thereeeipts for the fortnight ending July 15 amounted to 9,1911. 18s. 3d., and for the corresponding period of last yew to 14,435/. 12a. 74d., showing a decreaseof 5,2431. 14s. did. against the present year. The receipts since the commencement ei the resent book year, on the Ist May,including theabove, amounted to 51,6641. 3a. 13d., showing a decrease as com pared with the corresponding period of last year of 12,687/. Is. 10ed. The working expenses forthefortaightainonnted to 4,30'91. 19s. 5d., or 46.89 per cent. of the receipt., and for the corresponding pe riod of last year to 4,859/.135. 3d., or 35.19 per cent., showing • decrease of expenses amount ing to 5491. 13s. IOrL in favour of the present year. The 'resides expenses from the let ma r to the 16th July amounted to 22,1411. Is. Od., or 4196 per cent. of the receipts, and for the corresponding period of last year to 37.08 per cent et the receipts. MARYLEBONE. CHARON Or DIIIAI3 DING LORD usouonAN's George Newnan, aged 55, horse dealer, of no rattled tame, was brought up on a warrant by King, 76 1), charged with fraudulently obtaining from Captain Wilfred Brougham the sum of N. with intent to defraud. Mr. Pain appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Johnson for the prisoner. Captain Brougham (who it was stated was Lord Brougluun's nephew) said ha was captain in the 17th !snows stationed at Aldershot. He saw an advertisement in the Times of a horse for sale and called at Harley mews,the place advertised. He there saw the prisoner who laid he was nephew to Mr. Newman, of Regent-treet, and that they carried on business together. On the faith of this representation and believing him to be respectable, and also upon his giving a warranty as to the soundness of the horse, he parted with his money. He pre him a cheque on Cox's for 201. and a promissory note signed by him, and upon which he had been sued. When the horse was sent home it was found utterly impossible either to ride or drive it, it was so exceedingly vicious. The prisoner had warranted it to be quiet, and there was also an nt that if he (prosecutor) did not approve of the horse ri Tturned it within • given time the money would be returned. He wrote to the prisoner to say be wished to return the horse. The prisoner told him to send it to the stable in Harley-mews and the money would be returned. The hone was sent but there was only a lad to receive it, and as the prisoner was nut there and no money or bill forthcoming it was not left. Cross-examined—lt was not only because he wished to have his money returned, but to protect the public as well. Mr. Johnson said be was sure a criminal court ought not to be put in motion in a matter like this. Mr. Yardley thought there was sufficient in the case for the court to take cognisance of. He set his face against cheating. The warranty was read. It said, " Warrant the hone to be sound, quiet to ride and drive, and should it be otherwise I promise to return the money." By Mr. Johnson—They had rough-riders at the school at Aldershot, and they found it a insoesible to ride the horse. He should say it was an horse. He did not o ff er him th e l oan o f a bridle to ride the animal round the stable. The hone was to be sent to Aldershot. Mr. Johnson—Didn't he offer to let you ride it in the *art? Captain Brougham—No. Yr. Johnson—Didn't it occur to you to try it in the street? Kr. Yardley (interposing)—lt stands to reason that a rifleman would not Pike to be seen riding a horse back wards and forwards in the streets of London. Captain Brougham said he should not have parted with tin money, if pnaoner had not said Mr. Newman was his nude. Mr. Newman, 121 Regent-street, poet and job master, rid he had n o t th e slightest knowledge of the prisons; sod he had never been in any way connected with him. He led never had any stables in Harley-mews. Ring, D, said he had been looking after the prisoner for some time. The prisoner had told parties that Harley tows b onged to him, but be had the owner there to tebut Mr. Yardley decided upon remanding prisoner till Saturday next. THAMES. A YnLICZ-CONATABLE RTABBED BY AN ITALIAN BiIANAN. Gaeta Lorena), an Italian Beaman belonging to the ship urwrcand, was brought up on remand before Mir. Par tiXtonarged with feloniously stabbing William Issard, • stable, 133 H, in the abdomen, with intent to inurder or do grievous bodily harm. its prisoner and other foreigners were making a dis turbance in Rat c liff e - highway on Sunday night, and loud was endeavouring to persuade the foreign seamen to be quiet and go home, when the prisoner struck him *la his fist and thrust a knife into his abdomen. The Abram was immediately arrested. ?ft Phillips, divisional surgeon of police, said the wound Vat be d ar. Partri a l t ;: e r s tanded the prisoner for a week. - - Accrearr AT WErIIIIIEAD'A BREWERY. —(THIS DAY4—This forenoon the greatest excitement was caused in the neighbourhood of Chiswell-street, Finsbury, by an occi delta theextensivebreweryof Messrs. Whitbraid and Co., *ell • portion of the premises are being pulled down for Wbadding. Whilst the workmen were thus engaged a tic undone noise was beard, as if an explosion had taken place, tad the whole thoroughfare in an instant became obscured dust. It would appear that the foreman was gaper _ „'°tssiling the work going on when he noticed some of the 'hug tottering to and fro. He at once, upon seeing the dan re, called to hie men to make a precipitate retreat. This did with the exception of one man, and he appeared hs piralysed with fright, and unable ran away, and the consequence was that when the Inickwork fell it Pedally buried the poor fellow, both feet and legs being Imbedded in the rubbish. Upwards of an hour was em " Tod in getting the man out, when he was found to be so back crushed that h e was taken to the hospital of St. istrtholornew, where he lies in • very precarious condition. 0 1 . t5rat. ?Aires.

On o'CLuoi. There is still very little business in public secu rities, but the tendency of prices, on the whole, is rather better than yesterday, owing chiefly to the improvement in the weather for the harvest. The funds are unaltered for money and next Thursday's settlement, but have advanced 1-16 per cent. for the new ac- count. American stocks and some of the foreign bonds are alaolietter. British railways, however, remain fiat, and have further receded in several instances. The applications for discount to-day are to a fair extent, and there is little disposition to take choice three months bills below 9 per cent. Consols are now quoted 871 to I, both for money and next Thursday's settlement, and as! for the new account (September). There is a demand for foreign stocks, which have advanced. Italian Bonds of 1861 have improved per cent. ; Turkish of 1865, ; Spanish Certificates, ; and Passive, I. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 48 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 27# to # ; Greek, 11 to i ; Bpaniah Passive, 19} to I ; ditto Certificates, 14} ton ; Italian of 1861, 511 to 521 ; Brazilian scrip, 41 to si dis. ; and Mexican, 171 to i. United States 5-20 Bonds are in request, and show a fresh rise of per cent., being now quoted 681 to /. Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares are also fractionally higher, at 411 to and 751 to 1, respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph ahares are 7s. Gd. lower, at 12/ to 1, and Atlantic Telegraph 2s. 6d., at 31 to 1. International Financial shares are quoted n to 11 dis. ; London Financial, 12/ to 11/ dis. ; General Credit, 2to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 31 to 3i dis. ; and National Discount, 73 to 81 prem., ea div. In the matter of the Madrid Bank, which was ordered by the Master of the Rolls to be wound up, a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the pound is now payable to the creditors at the offices of Messrs. Hart Brothers and Co., the official liquidators. HALF-PAST THRaz o'Cusea. Consols are quoted 87j to I, both for money and the 9th inst., and 88,1 to j for the new account, being about the same as at 1 o'clock. About 3,0001. in bar gold and 18,000 sovereigns from abroad have been sent into the Bank, while 151,0001. have been withdrawn for transmission to Brazil and Buenos Ayres. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69, being II ( per cent. lower than yes terday. The feeling of uneasiness produced by the lengthened pressure in the money market is by no means abating. It is becoming now a serious ques tion whether even an immediate reduction in the Bank rate of discount will correct the evil. Distrust has indeed been carried to that extent that it is no easy matter to discover a remedy. Among the commercial public the conviction almost universally prevails that the best if not the only thing to be done is to get rid of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. It is perfectly clear that the directors of the Bank of England, in their desire to rigorously obey the provisions of the existing law, have brought about the financial deadlock which at present prevails, to the injury or extinction of all legitimate commerce. Supposing that they wish to retrace their steps, a course of which no indications appear, it is doubt ful whether it lies within their power to allay a dis trust that their policy has contributed to perpe tuate, if not to raise. A comprehensive and search ing. public inquiry, supplemented by appropriate legislation, is urgently needed, and if the govern ment were wise they would grant it without delay. The whole of the Queensland Debentures which were submitted to tender at the Union Bank of Australia on the 27th ult. have been sold at or above the reserved minimum. _ _ _ The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Friday, the 10th inst., a special set tling day in the shares of the Hercules Insurance Company (Limited), which, however, are not to be marked. Messrs. Butcher and Haws, respectively for forty and thirty-two years engaged in the service of Overend, Gurney, and Co., have announced their commencement of business as bill brokers. The directors of the Salisbury and Yeovil Rail way Company have agreed to recommend a dividend on the ordinary shares at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum for the past half-year, carrying forward a balance of 3,5081. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Edington and Sons, iron founders and engineers, held at Glasgow on Friday, the liabilities were estimated at 243,7481., and the assets at 121,5041., showing a deficiency of 122,2441. A committee was appointed to investigate the estate, and to arrange, if pos sible, for a settlement by composition. The Lord Chancellor has nominated Mr. Arthur Cooper, of the firm of Cooper Brothers and Co. the liquidator of thu Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited). The Master of the Rolls has also appointed Mr. \V. H. Holylaud, of the firm of Price, Holyland , and Waterhouse, official liquidator of the Blakely Ordnance Company (Limited). The following paragraph respecting the growing cotton crop in America, from the circular of Messrs. Neill Brothers and Co., will be read with interest : The weather continues favourable, and, although all parties are of course on the look out for the appearance of worms, no complaints of their ravages have yet reached us. Our special correspondent, writing in Alabama up to the 19th inst., reports continued fine weather with occasional showers. The following is a short extract from his last letter :—" The cotton everywhere is small for the season, and at least one month later than usual. I find the pre sent general estimate of the planters one bale in five acres. There is, however, so much out come in cotton if the sea son hereafter is favourable, that any estimate made now must be merely irueeswork. It will be very interesting, when I return in the fall, to visit some of these very farms, to see how the result will compare with the present estiaiste• On the 13th and 14th, I visited some farms that I had seen before I visited Eufaula. The crops have improved amazingly, and wherever they are clean are growing finely, and making fruit as fast as possible. Sun day, 15th —Fine rains. 16th antel7th, visited othedfarms that I bad seen some time since—vast improvement and the tone of the planter is now hopeful, and all say that with a late fall, they can't toll what their crops may not turn out. On the whole (in the districts I have seen), I consider the prospect very much better than ten or fifteen days since. Of course, there is a great deal of very miser ably poor cotton yet, some indeed that won't make any thing, but where it has been worked and the pan killed, it is now doing well." SIMSTSTORT, LA., JCLT 5.—1 have jest returned from Harrison county, in Texas. Tuesday and Wednesday most copious rains fell over a large ens of country, greatly reviving the hopes of planters. In some places I saw fair stands of cotton, and I am sanguine in the belief that in Harrison, Husk, Panda, he., more than half crop will be raised. N ATCH ITOCRES, JCLT 4.—We have had some re fleshing showers in some parts of our parish ; they have been beneficial to our planters • the ground was unusually dry, and could hardly he ploughed. Old cotton and corn, in the places where the overflow ham not been experienced, are beautifuL We have received samples of the former from the Old River settlement, and they are very pro mising. Cotton pickers will shortly be in demand. Gram in the fields is feat disappearing. Isravitts, La.—The planters of GIPS, TO* MOM gouin, and Fordoehe have already planted in corn and cotton a large portion of their ground which had been overflowed, and with a favourable autumn may be mobbed to make one-third of a crop. EAST FILICIANA, JULY 4.—Dnrlng the week reins have fallen in almost every section of the parish, and crops, both cotton and corn, are reported as in excellent 'meditates. CLamostien, La.—The present weather signs indicate a drought. Unless we have good seasons the balance of the summer, this section will hardly rake seed own. The cotton is mom promising. ST. MARTINSTILLS, JULY 7.—The prospects are more fa vourable far the crops. WOODTILLit, Lt. (Republican), JOLT 7.—The crops axe beginning to experience the effects of the much dreaded drought.
