*parting IntsUignut. WOLVERHAMPTON, WHAM, OXFORD, AND STO _ON RACES. TO THE XDITOI OP TRI ITPRIBR. Sea,—There were few winners at Brighton or Lewes that had not fi gured at Goodwood, and very little occurred, consequently, that is worth reviewing, the_prin cipal items of interest bring the performances of the Duke on Wednesday, and of DT.Atournel and Julius on Satur day. -The latter did not prove himself quite a Derby horse b win • the Lewes Nursery with nearly the top-weight, the did betray an improvement on his form with Dick Turpin at Winchester; but D'Eetournel's race with the Duke, Ostreger, &c., for the County Cup was an excellent trial, and as he never ran fully prepared before, there is just the chance that he is at the top of the colts tree, albeit the doings of Seville, Chignon, and Julius had previously spoken up for Marksman, the Palmer, and the Hermit. All the two-year-old racing of the week, tended, however, to add to the fame of Achieve ment, who beat D'Estournel so easily for the July, and Hippie ; and showed that next season's great fi llies races w ill have a very different class contending for them to that the Oaks, One Thousand, and other rich prises were left to, although it must not be supposed that the best was seen of Tormentor or Tourrnalin in the Brighton Cop. Both were so much amiss that it was long doubtful whether either would start • and the Duke having done plenty of work since Goodwo od (where he was so short of preparation that it was a mercy he ran at all), he was enabled to give the baron's filly the extra weight and run away from her, to the chagrin of the talent, who thought the 71b. penalty was bound to turn the tables. The Duke goes to Wolverhampton, besides several others in charge of John Day, whose employers with their long strings, can not afford to miss anything like a certainty. They will have, I believe, Ackworth and Comer& on the ground for the Wolverhampton Stakes on Tuesday, the letter's Lewes Handicap form being good enough to win, if Archimedes still insists on stopping when the pinch comes. Lord Stam ford, of course, is a great patron of the sports in the " black country," and will probably try to carry off the Welter Cup named after his estate, Brick having only to beat Effervescence, in my opinion, to succeed in so doing. The Enville stable has also a flyer in the Two-year-old Biennial named Cellos, who will win if she can give 31b to Opoponax; and it is not to be despised for the Nursery, seeing how kindly the talent stood the Blondelle filly in the Palmer's race at Ascot, as she gives Challenge about a stone less than Julius did at Lewes, the greatest danger perhaps being in the Newmarket division, if Mr. Chaplin should send Problem, or Mr. Angell one better than Canard. On Wednesday, The Duke has the Cleveland Cup, and Lady Hester the Chillington, to win for Danebury, whose Ischia is in such good trim now that she may beat both War and Selim for the Three-year-old Biennial. Recent winners are always the best to stand for fly races, so that Lady Valentine and Ozone must be my allies for the Borough Members' Ph.te, the only other " selection " I can make being Drum or Life Guardsman for the Holyoake. Egham Races, clashing with the above, will not bring together so many good horses, being more of a holiday for Londoners than a great race gathering ; and after the two-year-old event, the King John Stakes, plating will be almost the rule. In this encounter, however, there are Knight of the Garter, Plunder, Pirate Chief (or the Cha mourix colt), King Victor (or Cannon Ball), Dick Turpin, and Vulcan to participate, there being nothing very alarm ing about tho first-named after his second race at Brighton ; and yet lie ought to get home, Plunder standing second, and her brother next, in my estimation. Jack o' Lantern in the Runnymede, Ostreger or the Tartar in the Welter, and A. D. Wagner in the Betting Stand Plate, must "run well," as must also Harpenden in the Barons' Handicap on the second day, when we have four other handicaps that had better be left alone until the first day's results have shed their light upon them. Stockton-on-Tees commences on Wednesday, and with a racing-like bill of fare that promises the sport will be well sustained on each of the three days, despite the bad acceptance for the Tradesmen's Handicap. I'or the two miles Miss Hawartli takes my fancy, though, in the event of her being reserved for the Ebor, the top weight," Windham, will have to be attended to. The 71b penalty incurred by Frost may not stand in the way of his beating all the public horses fur the Cleveland, Newland being still slightly amiss ; and unless Split-the-Difference is tent for the Three-year-old Biennial Stakes, the penalized division will fight then , out, Strathconan being the second best to " Split," supposing Lord Zetland's dark Quick March, who can claim a 71b allowance, is not the flyer good judges once thought her. The Norwood division are certain to be handy for the two minor handicaps of the first (lay, if they are not for those of the second, when Vauban will lay claim to the Lamhton Plate, and win it too, it being doubtful that the Tykes have a real flyer in waiting for him. The Hardwicke is a more open juvenile race, The General, in the absence of Marksman, being about the best I know of that may show; nor will the Great Northern Leger be reduced to a certainty, even if Wcstwick should prefer his Oxford engagement to it, as we have yet to learn that Strathconan can beat Honesty over a mile and a half, whatever he might do with him at a mile. On Friday an exciting four-year-old race is promised, Elland and Broomiclaw being both under orders for the Claret, and %lathlike is not likely to decline meeting them. The mare ought, in truth, to prove the better horse, for whilst Elland will not like his 71b penalty, Broomiclaw may not be able to compass the two miles. Several other closed events are in Friday's list, but they are totally dependent upon how things may result previously. Both Wolverhampton and Egham will send numbers on to Oxford, which follows them on Thursday and Fri day, in the shape of man and beast, and the many closed events in the programme may be so seriously affected by the two days' proceedings, that I can only briefly allude to some of them. The chid Handicap will not be worth touch ing upon unless Westwick is tempted by the prize, which is not worth quite so much as the Northern Leger. though it may be easier to win ; and I can only observe of the Prince of Wales's Stakes, that Captain Kidd or Moon beam should greet the judge first. The Nursery comes off on Friday, and for this my fancy inclines to the unchristened lot, the Marsrui colt, in at Set 101 b, having been complimented, for reasons best known to the handi capper, with 7st 6lb at Wolverhampton, whilst the 7st Catherine Hayes filly was not disgraced when beaten in her two engagements.—l am, &a METEOR.

Aluoir. MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS; Mr. Mellon's concert at Covent-garden on Satur day evening drew an immense assemblage. Every part of the house was crowded, and the promenade was full to overflowing ; but, thanks to the excellence of the arrange ments, there was not the slightest inconvenience or dis comfort in any part of the house ; and the care, atten tion, and civility of every person employed was the subject of general remark. The concert was of a most attractive kind. It began with the Overture to Masaniello, Aubcr's chef d'wuvre in this species of composition—played with a fire and energy which could not be surpassed. Its per formance, indeed, was worthy of one of the finest or chestras in the world, under • chief who has no superior in experience and ability. Mendelssohn's Wedding March, which came afterwards, familiar as it now is to the public ear, derived new fresh' mess and joyousness from the singular brilliancy of its execution. A principal feature of tho concert was the operatic selection from the Troratore arranged by Mr. Mellon—a selection consisting of the finest passages of the opera, the solo and concerted vocal pieces being played by some of our most accomplished instrumental performers— Altssrs. Winterbottom, It. S. Pratten, Barret, J. Winter bottom, C. Harper, Lazarus, and Reynolds. This is one of the beet and most successful of Mr. Mellon's operatic ar rangements. Its effect was delicious. From the rich, resonant tones of the exquisitely-played wind-instruments, the effect of some of the concerted vocal pieces was even greater than on the stage. Wieniawski was singularly happy in his solo, which was Pauanini's "Di tanti Palpiti." This admirable performer not only emulated Paganini himself in his marvellous tours de fora, but (which was still more worthy of praise) in the Italian grace and beauty of his style. The favourite young pianist, Mdlle. Marie Krebs, played Coenen's fantasia fur the left hand on " The Last Rose of Summer," a charming composition, of which its extreme difficulty of execution is its least merit, in a man ner which could not have been excelled by the composer himself. The singers were Mdlle. Liebhardt, Mme. Patey-Why tock, and Mr. Patey, whose vocal pieces were well chosen, and received with deserved favour. This evening is to be a " Gounod night," and Thursday next will be dedicated to Beethoven. Drama. ASTLEY'S. This theatre was opened on Saturday night for an " extra season " by Miss Sophie Young, with a very in volved dramatic version of "Lady Audley's Secret," written by Mr. John Brougham, and called The Mysteries of A Wks, Court. Miss Young, like bliss Neilson, has a good per sonal appearance, and, like that young lady, has been trained to imitate the accent of Mdlle. Stella Colas, but these qualifications are hardly sufficient to enable her to represent satisfactorily even inch a shallow stage cha racter as Lady. Audley. The company is collected from many sources, and includes Mr. Ryder, Mr. Jordan, and those admirable dancers and pantomimiats, the Brothers I'ayne, but it is remarkably weak in ladies. The musical director is Mr. W. If. Montgomery. itabal an Military. WOOLWICH, AccraT 12. The fortnight in Sussex was to-day brought to a very sncresatul termination at Lewes. The last day of the pleasant gathering was more favourable as regardsthe weather than the opening one, and there was no falling off in point of attendance. but, e n the contrary, there was a perceptible increase. An excellent day's sport was yrovidNi by the management, and so carefully were the handicaps adjusted that the most close and exciting races were the result. in All there were eight races, and the running commenced at half .past 12, so as to enable the cud to be got through in good time. The fields were invariably laic, the principal race of the day—the Lewes ilandieap—bringing thirteen competitors to the post. D'Estouned utter defeating the Duke for the County Cup, was backed for the Derby. Ap pended is a return of the day's sport : Tog Tows PLAIT (Handicap) of 50 Goes. lfalf 4.mile. . .

There was a very large number of competitors, and the prizes were arranged in five series.—The 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers mustered for their annual official inspection on Saturday evening, at their drill ground, Brook-street, Kennington-lane, under the command of Lord Truro (colonel), as sisted by Captain-Adjutant Mcllroy and Captain E. A. Rae. Major Bishop, R.H.A., the official inspector, having been received with the general salute, the mameuvres were proceeded with. The ordnance on the ground con sisted of four heavy garrison guns, -iz., two 32 and two 24-pounders, two 18-pounders, field-guns, on travelling ' carriages, and a battery of four 9-pounder light field guns. The movements of the corps comprised the ordi nary parade drills, the manual and platoon exercises, and a series of field movements, including the light, heavy, and garrison gun-drills, which were generally exe cuted with steadiness and effect, and, considering that in their field-gun drills their guns were horsed with un trained horses, these manoeuvres, although attended with the disadvantages indicated, were very creditably per formed. At the conclusion of the movements the corps were addressed by Major Bishop, who said that their in spection had been carried out in a very creditable manner. The Dallam Tower, a fine vessel of iron, 1,500 tons register, and 1,634 tons builder's measurement, was launched on Saturday, at Messrs. Clover's yard, Birken head, for the Lancaster Shipbuilding Company. She is to aril for Melbourne on the 2nd prox. A serious accident happened on Saturday on the road to the Crystal Palace.

A deputation of the leading joint-stock bankers waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing-street, on Saturday. The proceed hie, by the right hon. gentleman's orders, were 'Maly private, and reporters were therefore not admitted. The following report, however, appears in the Sunday papers : The members of the deputation included Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P.(London and Westminster Bank), chairman of the committee; Mr.W.Nicol(London aid County Bank); Mr. Paull, ALP., and Mr. B. B. Ware (National Provincial Bank of England) ; Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P. (Metropolitan and Provincial Bank) ; Messrs. A. P. Petrocochino and A. Rain (Imperial Bank) • Mr. Donald Larnach (London Joint Stock Bank) ; Mr. P. N. Laurie (Union Bank), Mr. M. H. Chayter (Alliance Bank) • and Mr. J. N. Ml:Comm, M.P. (National Bank). Sir S ta fford Northcote, Bart., M.P. (President of the Board of Trade), was present. Mr. Alderman SALOIIOI4B, M.P., in introducing the de putation, spoke of the disastrous effects which the present system of dismuntroduced upon the commerce of the City, and read the fo p llowing resolution, which had been agreed upon for presentation to the Chancellor by the re presentatives of the London joint-stock banks:—" That, in the opinion of the meeting, the maintenance for so long a period of the high rate of interest fixed by the letter of the late Chanceller of the Exchequer to the directors of the Bank of England has a tendency to retard the return of confidence necessary for the interest of commerce at home and abroad, and it is therefore desirable to seek an interview with the government, for the purpose of repre senting the propriety and policy of modifying that letter so far as it prescribes a minimum rate of interest at ten per cent." The CHANCELLOR of the E_XCHEQUER said he felt the importance of the subject, and assured the deputation that the government would take the matter into consi deration. He pointed out to the deputation the fact that even though the bank rate had been at ten per cent., in accordance with the terms of the letter, it had not had the effect moat to be desired, of increasing the reserves. He then defended the course taken by the directors of the Bank of England, and thought that they had acted for the best in the interests of all parties concerned. FATAL COLLISION OA THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. On Saturday night, at about half-past nine o'clock, a collision occurred between two trains on the Mid-Sussex portion of this line at a place known as the Itclingfield Junction, about three miles on the Shoreham side of Horsham. Oue man lost his life, and several pas sengers were severely injured. From inquiries made from passengers and others it appears that on Saturday night the 7.40 train from London-bridge to Littlehampton and Portsmouth was fifteen or twenty minutes behind at starting. It is a quick train, making comparatively few stoppages on the journey ; but as it has a third class at tached to it, is the last night train to Portsmouth, and is in muimunication at Littlehampton with the Jersey and St. Maio screw steamers, it is a favourite train with the public. Being late at starting, the train was also behind time when it arrived at Three Bridges, and it was likewise late on passing Horsham, where, however, it did not stop. At Three Bridges the train was handed over to a driver nailed Edward Ray, and to Ode and James, head ant' ' under guard. On reaching the Itchingfield Junction. which is the point were the Shoreham branch via Steyning and Henfield enters the Mid-Sussex line, the 7.15 up train from Brighton and Shoreham had just arrived, and was in the act of crossing on to the main line. The Steyning and Henfield branch is a single line, and the guard, whose name is Burgess, was in the act of exhibiting his staff from the window to the signalman, to indicate that there was noshing behind, when his break was run into by the down Loudon train, the engine of which ran into the other im mediately between the tender and the guards' van nest to the engine. On the locomotive of the up train, along with the driver, was his fireman, John Suitt, who was killed on the spot. The drivers of both eniines escaped comparatively unhurt, whilst Burgess, the guard, did not sustain a scratch, although his break was cheered to atoms. The up train happened to be an tin. nasally light one, whilst the down train was more than ordinarily heavy. Had the up train contained more pas sesgers, or had it been run into nearer the centre, the casualties must have been alarming in the highest degree. As it was, the majority of those who suffered were paasen gets by the down train, several of whoni have sustains] fracturer of the leg or other limbs, but up to last night no other fatal cases had occurred. Immediately on the catastrophe occurring telegrams were despatched to Horsham and to Brighton, conveying the intelligence of the accident. With as little delay as the circumstances world admit of Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the ling, got together a gang of navvies and plate-layers, and proceeded by special engine to the scene of the accident. ' Mr. Anderson, the station master at Horsham, accompa eieil by three medical gentlemen, named Thomas, Restock, and Matthews, also hastened to the spot, and rendered all th 3 assistance in their power, in which they were effi ciently aided by a fourth surgeon from Southwater. On examination it was found that, a rest many of the car riages had been shivered to pieces ; one second class car riage was cot completely in two, and a third class car riage, which was near the engine on the down train, was educed to a complete wreck. By dint of great exertions tile line was cleared and the wounded passengers attended M. Some, who were able to walk, made their way to Horsham. Others who were more hurt were conveyed there by train, and others who were (a route to the Chan ael Islands were taken by train to Littlehanipton, and ,laced on board the Hontleur, which was to have been dis patched at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, but which, wing to the accident, delayed her sailing until noon yes terday. Several of her passengers are suffering severely from their injuries. borne attribute the accident to a :lisregard of signals, but a judicial inquiry, which will shortly be held will, of course deal with that question. It is sufficient to say that the line is nearly level where the accident occurred, and that it is worked by Saaby's patent signals, which can here be seen from a considerable dis tance. The deceased Snatt, is a native of Eastbourne, is about thirty years of age, married, and has been in the employ of the company about seven years. His body now lies at the Itchingfield Junction awaiting the inquest. A " MAIDEN" SirriNo.—At the Mansion-house Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Alderman Carter took his seat on the bench at the tuned hour, when he was in formed by Mr. Oke, the chief clerk, that there was not a single prisoner in custody, no charge to be heard, and not a solitary summons to be disposed of. The alderman inquii ed how long since a similar occurrence took place , and was informed by Mr. Oke that the same state of things happened on the 18th February last year. As usual in such cases the worthy alderman was presented with a pair of white kid gloves. THE CoNvlcr COLTHORPE.—Since her conviction this convict has maintained a quiet demeanour. Her mind appears, however, to have been much relieved by a com munication made to her by the chaplain of the Ipswich Gaol, that the execution of the sentence of death passed upon her had been respited until further signification of her Majesty's pleasure. The prisoner's second child has been weaned, and will shortly be taken from her. ATTEMPT TO MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—A determined-looking foreign seaman, giving the name of Frank Allen, who had been sent back to this country from New York by the American government under the Extradition Treaty, was brought before the magistrates at Ilford on Saturday, charged with assaulting and attempting to murder George Withers, the chief officer of the William Penn, London, Havre, and New York steamer, on the high seas. The prisoner was committed to Newgate. FIRES AT THE WEST-END.—Yesterday (Sunday) morning, between two and three o'clock, two extensive fires happened almost simultaneously at the West-end, and in a very brief period laid in ruins property valued at several thousands pounds sterling. One fire took place in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. W. Smith,an engineer, whose factory covers a large space of ground in Wells-street, Oxford-street. The building contained four tiers of workhops, and extended as far back as the rear of the houses in Titchfield.street. The machi nery, models, &c., in the place were of considerable value. The police-constable in passing along his beat noticed a bright glare of light shining over the house top. At first he was unable to tell whether the fire had broken nut in Wells-street or Titchfield-street, but he aroused the in mates of both thoroughfares, and it was soon after ascer tained that the two upper tiers of Mr. Smith's premises were in a regular sheet of fire, and the flames were leaping forth from the windows, and attacking with full vigour the workshops of Mr. Nicholas, carver and gilder, in Titch field-street. The Royal Society's escape promptly at tended, as well as the engines of the metropolitan brigade, including about half a dozen land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co. The inhabitants of the contiguous houses commenced removing their furniture and children to a dis tant place for protection. Ey great perseverance by the firemen the flames were extinguished, but not before the two upper floors of the engineering work/ were destroyed, and the lower floors severely damaged, and the workshops of Mr. Nicholas nearly destroyed. Some of the adjoining houses were also somewhat injured by fire, water, and re moval. This fire having been extinguished other engines were despatched to a second conflagration in the large premises of Mr. Dretericb, a hatter, carrying on business at 7, Tottenham-court-road, forming the angle of a double row of shops in Boxer's-court, a narrow passage leading into Oxford-street. The premises of Mr. Dreterich were entirely burned out, and some of the surrounding houses much damaged. The origin of this fire, like the other, is unknown. A firs likewise took place at Bayswater, but it was confined to the destruction of some stabling. NEW ACT ON COUNTY RATES.—OR Saturday a new act was issued to remove doubts respecting the assess ment of county rates. It seems that under the 15th and 16th Vie., e. 81, and the Union Assessment Committee Act, 1862, the powers of the justices are interfered with, and the doubts are removed by the present sat.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LIVERPOOL, Auo UST 11. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) TRIAL Or AN INCENDIARY. The court was densely crowded from an early hour this morning, the trial of Thomas Henry &pectin() on the charge of setting fire to Compton-house, the largest drapery warehouse in Liverpool, having excited a great deal of in terest. The building it will be remembered was entirely destroyed by the fire, and a loss of upwards of 200,0001. involved. The prisoner, a young man of respectability and good family, is about 20 years of age, end was an apprentice of Messrs. Jeffery, the proprietors of the warehouse. There were two indictn.ents against him, one for stealing the property of the firm, and the other for arson. He was ar raigned, however, only upon the latter charge. The counsel for the crown were Mr. Aspinall, Q.C., and Mr. Littler ; for the prisoner, Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Leofric Temple. The prisoner, though he had previously made and signed a written confession as to the crime, now pleaded not guilty" Mr. Aspinall, having briefly opened the case, called Mr. Wm. Henry Watts, one of the partners in the firm of Jeffery and Co., and the chief superintendent of the establishment, who was examined at considerable length. He stated that after the fire (and the removal of the busi ness to other 'premises), having a suspicion that Sweeting had been stealing some property, he called him into the office on the 2nd June, and had a long conversation with him. Witness hinted to Sweeting that he had a strong suspicion that he had caused the fire, and urged him, for the sake of his conscience and peace of mind, if tide was the case, to confess . Sweeting hesitated and equivocated for a considerable time, but ultimately did confess to Mr. Watts that he set fire to the establishment by throwing a match amongst some goods in the cellar ; that he could not account for the act ; and that it was done under an uncontrollable impulse. The prisoner, in answer to one of Mr. Watts' questions, said he had no unkind feeling towards the firm, who had always been exceedingly kind to him, and that in fact he had no motive whatever for setting fire to the premises. A written statement to the same effect as this evidence (which had been written and directed to Mr. Jeffery) was then put in. Mr. J. H. Jeffery was then examined, and stated that be also had a conversation with the prisoner, similar in effect to that which had been described by Mr. Watts. At first Sweeting " called Heaven to witness" that he had not set fire to thepremises ; but next day, when witness and o her (Mr. W. Jeffery) and Mr. Watts had another con versation with the prisoner, he dictated to them a state ment confessing his guilt. Detective officers Cousens and Macarthy were then called, and detailed certain statements implicating himself which the prisoner had made in Bridewell. Several other witnesses, persons employed at the ware house, were examined, and one of them stated that on the evening of the fire (but before it took place) the prisoner came to him and said, " How would you like to see this place on tire ? I have often thought I should like to see it, and wonder it has not occurred where so many dif ferent characters are employed." Mr. Temple, for the defence, urged that the confession brought forward by the prosecution was no confession at all. The document produced was merely a statement of facts, and was quite consistent with the supposition that the prisoner bad no guilty connexion with the transaction. Mr. Temple called particular attention to this passage : " 1 had no ill-feeling to anybody ; on the contrary, Mr. Jeffery and Mr. W. Jeffery have always been very kind to me ;" and also to a passage to the effect that had it not been for the kindness of his masters he could not have passed the local college examinations. This showed that the prisoner had no motive, and it might be that the throwing of the lighted taper upon the goods was only an act of carelessness. It was merely a suggestion and guess that this taper caused the fin: ; and if the prisoner set fire to the premises accidentally anti without motive he was entitled to an acquittal. The confession had been evi dently made when the prisoner was in a frenzied state of mind, and after he hail been tortured by the injunctions and urgent appeals of Mr. Watts. His lordship said the question for the jury was did the prisoner knowingly and wilfully throw the match or taper with the intention to set fire to the material amongst which it was thrown. The statement of the prisoner him self must be taken as a whole, and if the jury believed it to be true they must find him guilty. A malicious deed within the meaning of the act was any wrongful act done intentionally, and without just cause or excuse. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Jeffery hoped his lordship would pass as lenient a sentence as possible, having regard to the prisoner's youth. His Lordship said it was very kind of Mr. Jeffery to interfere on behalf of the prisoner. He intended to pass what might be considered a very severe sentence, as the destruction of property was enormous, and it was abso lutely necessary to protect the public. He would consult his brother Lush on the subject, and in the meantime sen tence would be deferred. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Payne.) John Crowder, general dealer, was indicted on the charge of assaulting James Mauwering, a metropolitan po lice constable, while in the execution of his duty. Jane Daughters, of 4, Denton's-buildings, Somers-town, said that on the 14th ult., Crowder began to abuse her, and threw a plate at her, but it missed her head. He was very drunk, and she gave him into custody. Police-constable Manwering, Y, said the prisoner would not go to the station quietly. He said, "Nothing less than death will let me go, and it will be death to the first person who touches me." He kicked witness, and throw him down about a dozen times, continually kicking and striking him. He was ultimately, owing to his vio knee, conveyed on a stretcher to the station by four con stables. Witness was very much hurt, and his body was very sore. In defence, the prisoner said, " The police are always upon me when I go out with my barrow. I was very drunk." The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, the pri soner, whining and affecting to cry, said—My lord, my lord, what am Itodo ? The police won't let me alone. They interfere with me while I'm getting a living for my five children. _ . ..... Mr. Payne—lf there be any undue interference on the part of the police, you should apply to the magistrate, who would protect you, but it appears to me that you are a very violent man. Prisoner—Oh, my lord, be merciful to me. be a teetotaller I'll do anything, and become a bright member of society. (Laughter.) My lord, I'll be a sober man, and subscribe to the Lifeboat Fund. (Laughter.) Mr. Payne—You have bees found ger-ty of this unpro voked assault on a constable, and therefore some punish ment must be inflicted upon you. A constable is a pre server of the mice, which Lou have broken, accompanied with extreme violence to his person. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine calendar months. In order that you may reform I shall order you, after you have served your term of im prisonment, to enter into your own recognisance in the sum of 251. to keep the peace for Fix months. If you break your bond during that time you will be further impri soned. William Shan, William Blake, and Witham Cain, three determined-looking ruffians, were indicted for a murderous assault upon Charles Ames and breakirg his leg. The prisoners were a sample of the roughs who frequent the neighbourhood of Lisson-grove. The prosecutor, living at 36, William-street, Limon grove, a butcher, said the prisoners stole from his shop two sheep's hearts, and be followed them and taxed them with it, when they all set upon him. Blake struck him twice on the face, while Sheen (who is a power ful fellow) struck him several violent blows immediately behind the ear. They threw him down, and Cain jumped upon him. The prosecutor struggled to his feet again, when Cain put his leg round that of the prosecutor's, throwing him violently to the ground and breaking his leg in two places. The other prisoners were all this time striking and kicking Lim in the rits and other parts of his body. This was seen by two witnesses, who were examined. Other evidence having been given as to the nature of the offence, . . The jury found the prisoners Guilty. His lord%hip sentenced Cain to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, Sheen to five, and Blake to seven year' penal senitude. NEW MODE or CORRECTINGCOMPASS VARIATIONS. —Few things are more annoying to the mariner than the compass variations which, especially in the navigation of iron ships, he has to provide against. An extremely simple and ingenious mode of ascertaining the deviation has, however, been devised by a naval commander con nected with the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, U.S., which will remove all difficulty in the matter. It is proposed to take an ordinary compass card, and erect upon its centre a fine copper wire, from 4 to 6 or 8 inches in height, and perpendicular to its plane • at the moment of the sun's meridian passage, as indicat ed by the noon ob servation for latitude, note the direction of the shadow cast by the wire on the compass card. The angle con tained between this direction and that of the north and south line of the card will give the variation and local attraction combined. Small errors are involved in this method, but the approximation is close enough for the purpose for which it is intended. As there would, of course, be no difficulty in making this wire a permanent fixture to the card, it will be obvious that this arrangement would enable the deviation of the compass to be daily tested.— Mining ..ro.arriel. Tug BOMBAY MAIL.—Sons, Aroun 10.—The Malta arrived at 11 p.m. to-day. MARKETS. Aturirf 11.—The trade of this town remains inactive ; the orders coming in are extremely small, asd as a rule manufacturers have scarcely any on their books. In the foreign department the same inactivity is felt ; there are a great number of orders in the hands of the merchants, especially on account of the East Indies, which are not likely to be given out for Dome time, the state of the money market here, and the aspect of commercial affairs in that quarter, being altogether prohibi tory of business in the ordinary course. In other depart ments the export trade is in a conditionaeareely more satis factory ; the American orders are tolerably good more have been given out this week on account of Canada ; and the Spanish West Indian trade continues steady. The reports relative to the state of particular branches are of a character to indicate that the slackness is general. The demand for material has never been smaller than it is at this moment ; and as regards the metal trades only a very moderate amount is being done. For builders' iron mongery the demand has very much fallen off ; the brass founders generally report business dull ; and as to the jewellery and other fancy trades the reports are even more unfavourable. In connexion with the manufacturing trades of East Worcestershire and South Staffordshire only a very moderate amount of business done. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, AUGCST 11.—Rather more doing ; prices steadier. Bales to-day 10,000 bales, in chiding 3,000 for speculation and export. 3,500 American, llid. to 16d. ; 200 Pernam, &a., 15401. to 194 d. ; 70 Maran ham, 16d. to 170. ; 130 Egyptian, 18d. to ; 6,100 Surat, 71. to 114 d. ; Madras, 104 d. to 11d. ; Bengal, Scinde, Az., 7d. to 84d. ; China, 10d. COTTON GOODS.—MiNciturrEß, Atlcusr 11.—The yarn and cloth market continues dull, with very little business doing in any department, and with prices still drooping. In yarns very low numbers remain tolerably steady, but water twist in bundle warp and India mule yarn have given way since last week about id. per lb. But little business has been done in twist and pinoops for the home trade, and 32's have given way id. to Id. per lb. Bolton yarns are steadier than most yarns, but there is not much demand for them. Doubled yarns are a good deal neglected, and prices are as much depressed in these as in almost any kind of yarn. In cloths the demand is on a very small scale, and prices have given way in them to nearly the same extent as in yarns. A very limited busi ness is reported in shirtings and printing cloths. Domes tics, T cloths, and other heavy goods are depressed in price. Commercial men attribute this state of things to the high rate of discounts, and have very little hope of improvement till some alteration is made. WOOLLEN.—Leans, Atm sr 11.—The markets this morning have not presented any new feature ; the attend ance at the Coloured-hall has not been large, sad only a moderate amount of business has been transacted. Plain cloths and fancy coatings have been the classes of goods mostly inquired after, a few medium sized parcels having been transferred. The demand for other descriptions has only been quiet. The 'White market has not been more animated ; heavy goods have changed hands, though not to any extraordinary extent; there has not been any alteration in the demand for hairlists, which continue to have a steady sale. Rates remain firm. CORN.--CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 11.—Wheat was in good supply, both old and new ; the quality of the latter good, and in fair condition. 'Wheat, old, 48s. ; new, 481. to 10s. Beans, 48e.

LEICESTER, AUGUST 11.-Owing to the broken weather of the past week, harvest work has not mado much pro gress. The wheat crops are looking healthy. Barley will probably be the best crop of the season. Accounts re specting oats vary. Turnips are looking very well indeed. Our corn market was pretty well supplied with wheat to day, and samples made quite recent rates. White sold at 49. to teis. ; red, 525. to Ms. per 36 atone. For barley the demand was slow, and prices were much the same as heretofore. Malting, I.'s. to 40s. per qr. ; grinding, 30e. to 335. per 30 stone. There was a moderate inquiry for oats, and prices were very little altered ; old, Ms. to 341. per 24 stone. Beans were in limited request, and the turn in prices was downwards, 50s. to 545. per 38 stone being the quotations. Fine flour, 433. ; seconds, 38s. to 39a. per 20 stone. N swc asnn-troit-Tnir, Acetsr 11.-At our market this morning we had a fair supply of wheat from the growers, and the arrivals coastwise, as well as from abroad, being more moderate, fresh thrashed samples found a ready sale at rather more money; a fair business being also done from the stands, at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight. Flour had rather more tone. Our letters from Liverpool mention that large purchases had been made there of French flour on French account. Barley much inquired for. Malt steadily supported its value. Beans and peas without inquiry. Oats scarcely sold so well as during the week; inferior Russian, weighing from 361b4. to 371bs. per bushel, quite unsaleable ; 401ba. to 421 be. white deecrip th•ns in fair request.

NORWICH, AUGUST 11.-There was only a very limited supply of wheat at this market to-day, but the trade ruled slow, and prices must be quoted a shade lower than last week ; only little business, however, transpired. There were but few transactions in other articles. A few samples of new oats were offered of heavy quality ; the high prices asked, however, checked business. Strong westerly winds prevailed in the early part of the week, but the weather being dry (there having been only an occasional shower) the crops ha-e received no damage ; they have ripened slowly, but the harvest will become very general next week. More peas and oats than usual have been grown this year, and a large portion of these have been secured in fair order, the quality promising to be good. White wheat (weighing 041ba.), 555. to 575. ; old red ditto (weighing 651b4.), 51s. to 535. ; new ditto, 51s. to 525. per qr. Flour, 375. 6d. per sack. Averages :-Wheat, 676 qrs., 49a. 3d. ; barley,. 14 qrs., 30s. NUTTINGIIAY, AUGUBTII.-Harvest operations have com menced in this vicinity, and many fields of both wheat and oats have been cut. The weather has been unsettled. Wheat promises a good yield. Barley is in a satisfactory state. Beans and peas are in a healthy condition. There was a middling show of wheat at our market to-day, and the demand was steady at fully late prices. Old white made 55a. to 60s. ; old red, .545. to 56a. ; new white, this. to 59a. ; new red, 50s. to 54e. per 36 stone. There was a very limited supply of barley, which maintained recent currencies-grinding, 30s. to 345. per 30 stone. Oats were in small supply, and the demand was slow at about former terms-old, 331. to 35a. ; new, 295. to 335. per 24 stone. The inquiry for beans wins inactive, and prices underwent no material change-old, 50s. to 53a. per 38 stone. Super flour made 445. ; fine, 40s. to 41s. per sack. OXFORD, AUGUST 11.-The fineness of the weather was so suitable for harvest operations, that very many far mers staid at home to attend to it rather than come to market, and consequently the attendance at this corn exchange was small and business dull. White wheat realised from 50s. to 565. per qr. Red wheat, 465. to 52a. Two or three samples of new wheat were on offer, but being in a had state both as regards colour and dampness millers did not like them, hardly being fit for grinding purposes A sample of prime new wheat, but not quite dry, purchased yesterday at Wallingford market, was shown. The price given for ii-vix., 645.-was thought rather a fancy price than otherwise. Barley, neither old nor new at market. Beans, 48e. to 50s. Oats, 21s. to 31.. Flour (seconds), 38a. to 40s. per sank. PETERBOROUGH, AUGUST 11.-A large supply of wheat and tine weather causes us to have a dull dragging trade here to-day, at a decline of Is. to' s. per qr. ; fine reds, 50s. ; some fine new ready for delivery on Monday made 565. per 38 stone. READING, AUGUST 11.-To-day the supply of all descrip tions of grain was small. In wheat the trade was quiet, sellers asking an advance of ls. per qr., which buyers would not accede to. A few wimples of new wheat were on hand. Barley a nominal trade. Oats, beans, and pease, no variation ; prices same as past weeks. _ _ _ ROCHESTER, AUGUST 11.—In consequence of many of the farmers being absent at harvest, our exchange was hardly so largely attended by the country trade ; but there was a fair attendance of the town trade. On the whole business ruled brisker than before, and there was a fair trade done in wheat at an advance of about Is. per quarter on all extra fine lots. The quotations for extra fine parcels of new white wheat are use. to 595. and secondary and inferior, 495. to 55e. per quarter ; bes t wheat, 48e. to 545., and others 435. to 48a. per quarter. Foreign kinds of wheat were firm, and in some instances an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter on best sorts was established. Only a retail business was done in flour, the price of which was about the same as before. Barley was only in moderate request, the purchases being confined chiefly to best grind ing sorts, the quotations for which are about the same as those of last week. Oats steady, with a moderate con immptive inquiry. In other kinds of grain no alteration. WISBEOFI, AUGUST 11.—The weather during the week has been unsettled with continued showers ; the supply of I wheat and other grain today is small, and the value of good fresh wheat in favour of the seller as to price, and all spring corn quite as dear as on this day week. Woimmerza, Auctmr 11.—At this day's market there was a large supply of English wheat, which sold slowly at a decline of ls. per qr. Barley rather higher. Oats slow and only taken in retail.
