In about a quarter of an hour prisoner e rne out with a specification in his hand which he read cer to him as he, witness, could not read. The prisoner on asked him the price of different quantities which he e ye him, but he said they were not high enough sd he priced them himself. He gave his prices on mime of paper, and witness got them worked out, and sled into the specification.

Ile did not see the prisoner again, and beginning to suspect that all was not right, he went to Southend and inquired for Squire Lomax, but no inch person was known there. He then inquired for land upon which largo buildings were to be ere cted, but could find no such land. He would not have m eted with the fifty guineas if he had not believed it was for binding the contract. The prisoner said the 50 guineas were a perquisite for himself. Alderman Challis remanded the prisoner. CLERKENWALL. CAPTURE OF "T7lll 111 NO OF THE SKITTLE SHARPEEK." John Hardman Fowler, aged 55, who described himself as a isweller, was charged with defrauding a young man of 3151., at the Mortimer Arms, Mortimer-road, Kings land. The fraud was committed more than twelve months since, and Police-sergeant Evans, 22 G, has held a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, but he has managed to avoid being taken until yesterday. The prosecutor was pass ing through the City when he was met by the prisoner who entered into conversation with him, and treated him to some wine. Whilst in the public-house some of the prisoner's confederates entered, pretended that they had , had a lot of money left them, and then made a bet about I shooting, and asked the prosecutor to go with them and see fair. They all went in a cab to the Mortimer Arms, and then began betting. In the course of the proceedings the prosecutor took from his pocket a cheque for 3001., and be was induced by the prisoner to go and change it, the prisoner accompanying him in • cab to the bank. When the prosecutor got the money he re turned with the prisoner to the above public-house, when, having been there some time, the whole of his money was got from him and the prisoner and his companions decamped. When the prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Evans he denied any knowledge of the transaction. The prisoner, in defence, denied the charge, and said be bad never seen the prosecutor before. The magistrate remanded the prisoner, and refused to take bail. GREAT EASTERN* RAILWAY.--(THIS DAY.) A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held at noon, at the London Tavern, Mr. C. H. TURNER in the chair, to consider certain bills now pending in parliament. The CHAIRMAN observed that as the company was at present within the limit of its borrowing powers any debentures that might be issued would be as good as Bank of England notes. He added that the company had not a single penny from a finance company. (Applause.) The bills were then considered, when The CHAIRMAN said that the company bad concluded arrangements of a most satisfactory character with the Midland and Great Northern Railway Companies by which it became the interests of these companies to bring focolers to the Great Eastern Company at Wisbech and Cambridge, and the company would also have carriers in Lancashire sad Yorkshire to cater for the London traffic. Replying to a shareholder, The CHAIRMAN said he did not think he could hold out hopes of a dividend in September, but the directors were using their best exertions to form the basis of good divi dends. • , The meeting was then made extraordinary, to consider two agreements—one, for the sale or transfer of the under taking of the Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway Company to the Great Northern Company, or for the amalgamation of the companies ; the other, for the manage ment of the undertaking of the Watford and Edgware Company, and for the transfer of that undertaking to the Great Northern Company. Resolutions were passed ap proving the agreements, and the meeting adjourned. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TOI22DLY, JUNI 12, 8 Li. 71. T. W. I V t . o l2 —• lirtal / 4 -., W. R. 110 12 Y.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE ON THE METROPOLITAN EXTEN•IoN or THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAlL wtT.—Last evening, a most extraordinary scene was wit nessed at the Walworth-road station of the above railway. It would :iptear that the train which left the Ludgate-hill ' Station at 5.21 proceeded safely on its journey until it bad pass e d the Loughbomugh-road station, when its engine ran off the line. This was telegraphed to the other stations, aml the 5.:*1 train was stopped at the Walworth-roaal station. all the passengers getting out there. Signals were at the same time mad e f or s t o ppi ng tra ffi c both ways. The ,534 train wu then stopped between the Elephant and Castle station and that of the Walworth-road. Here the Passengers showed great impatience, and eagerly demanded to be let oat, a request which the guards very Properly refused to comply with. It happened, however, that a young man who was a passenger was in possession of a key with which he opened the door of the carriage in which he was, and ilso those of four or five others, all the passengers of which then got out on the line. As soon as the attention of the guard was called to thin, no more !loon were opened. A rather ludicrous incident occurred m consequence of a very stout old gentleman attempting to force himself through the window of his csrr • age• Th! sue of the w i n d ow not b e i ng equa l to th a t o f hi s body h is legs were eventually thrust back into the camsge by the porters. Some of the passengers started for the Elephant Station, and the res t ma d e a race f or W a l wor tb, where, 00 their arrival, th e y very narrow l y escape d one o f the ma in packed line u p andtaken tr ai ns . After some delay the whole of them were on by another train. mon. 00L01 LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE SHARE L No. I 82043215 oex 0,030 Dritialleolin.Op.c2,l 0,000 Do. ...

The weather was all that could Bt. be desired, and something like 2,000 spectators were present, se. Surrey were the favourites at 6to 4, and when they had won the se, toss it was even betting. The ground was in excellent order ; but as to the general arrangement, it 11 well worth remark st, that it was not in its usual style. Play commenced at st, 12.30, Mr. Smith and Payne going to the wickets, to the bowling St„ of Sewell and Sir. Hiller (once more a metal county maw; 13 81. runs were scored, when Sewell disturbed Mr. Smith's timber. St. Payne was not in his mind form. Lockyer would not allow a 81. snick " to peas Charlwood's hardle of the bat, and thus four st„ wickets tell for 54 runs. The second wicket, Payne's, went for St, 22 runs ; the third, Dean's, for 38 runs. At 41 runs, Griffith's 10 slows were substituted for Sewelra fasts, Nos. 6 and 6—Wells and 10 Yillery—having been disposed of by Sewell for a total of 72 runs, 100 young J ames Lillywinte had to be disptsed of , wbo =de a splendid 100 cut from Humphrey for five, In addition to six twos, and singles 10 amounting in all to 28. John Lillywhite made a " double," st, by a leg hit from Stephenson for four, two twos, and singles; 9 thus. the eighth wicket fell for 91 runs, as did also the ninth St. (Fills's,. The last one (liggs) was likewise served the same, and gs at 2.40 Sussex bad to succumb to the small score of 91, far be- at. low the expectation of their supporters, who, thinking of the St, weakness of Surrey's bowling, were inclined to put mother " cen- St. tury on that total. Surrey sent in Humphrey and Jupp as gs usual, and when 18 runs had been scored Jupp managed St. to call his opponent ont. Pooley and Jupp showed some good fit. cricket, when Ellis's slows were callekinto requisition, and a fine sx, catch from his own bowling sent Pooley away, whom figures Is were three fours, a three, six twos, and single& Stephenson's ss dumps were obtained by a shooter from Figg, after exhibiting Si, a masterly display of cricket.

In the stock markets to-day the dealers are chiefly engaged in the settlement of the fortnightly account, which has just commenced, and will be concluded on Thursday. The amount of fresh bu tanes' is, therefore, limited, but prices generally are steady. The funds are quoted the same as yesterday, as well as most of the British railways and foreign securities. Mexican Bonds, however, are heavy, and have fallen 1 per cent., owing to the alleged threatened abdication of the Emperor Maximilian. Ranking and financial shares are quiet, but Credit Foncier and Mobilier have recovered 10s., being scarce for delivery. In the discount market the supply of money has somewhat diminished, owing partly to the large payments into the Bank of England in connexion with the liquidation of the affairs of the various undertakings which have recently failed. Good three months' bills, however, are still freely taken at si per cent., and in some cases at a fraction below. Consols are now quoted 863 to I, ex div., for money, and 87 to 4 for the account (July 10). Foreign stocks are inactive, and the speculative descriptions exhibit no change, with the exception of • reduction of 1 per cent. in Mexican Bonds. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 48 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 264 tot ; Greek, 111 to t ; Spanish' Passive, 184 tot ; ditto Certificates, 134 to I ; Italian of 1861, 36 to ; Brazilian scrip, 64 to 54 dia. ; and Mexican, 153 to I. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined j per cent., viz., to 65 to ; but Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares are unchanged at 404 to 41, and 75 to j respectively. International Financial shares are now quoted 2to 1t dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dis. ; General Credit, 2t to 4 die. ; Imperial Mercantile, 94 to 84 dia. ; Credit Fonder, 34 t 024 dis. ; Overend, Gurney, and Co., 18 to 16 die. ; and National Discount, 6to 4 prem. The demand at the Bank discount office yes ' terday was rather active, and from this cir cumstance some persons infer that, notwith standing the extraordinary influx of gold, and the desirability that the restoration of commercial con fidence should be promoted by a movement by the Bank of England, the directors will limit the reduction in the minimum on Thursday next to 1 per cent., making the rate 9 instead of 10 per cent. About 110,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, in addition to 28,000 sovereigns from Turkey. This makes a total since the date of the last return of 996,0001., but within the same period 170,0001. has been exceptionally withdrawn for export to various parts. The arrivals of specie continue large. The Tas manian has arrived from the West Indies with 153,534/. ; the Tripoli, from New York, with 92,000/. ; the Sussex, Walter Hood, and Red Jacket, from Australia, with 225,500/. ; and the Poonah, with 6,3161. It is a noteworthy fact that the steamer for the East, which leave& Southampton to-day, takes no specie. The amount of government bills on India, for which tenders will be received at the Bank of Eng land on the 20th instant, will be rupees 35,00,000 (350,0001.)

The following circular has been issued by the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited) : Sir,—The attention of the directors of this bank has been called to a circular, addressed by some membera of the late committee of investigation of the Financial Cor poration, inviting the shareholders of that company, who are shareholders in this bank, to subscribe to a common fund for resisting a call made by the directors of this hank upon their own shareholders. The directors deem it right to inform you as a shareholder of this lank that the gentle men whose names are attached to the circular are not in cluded in the 248 shareholders of the Financial Corpora tion, who have, through the liquidators of that company, exchanged their shares for shares in this bank, and who have consequently, and by their own written request, been placed on the register of shareholders of the bank. It is ne part of the duty of the directors of this bank to inter fere in the affairs of the shareholders of the Financial Cor poration, but they desire to caution those who are also shareholders in this bank against being misled as to their actual position. The directors are advised, on the highest legal authorities, that every person whose name is on the register is unquestionably liable, in common with all other shareholders, for the call now made, and that it would be illegal in them to attempt exempting a share holder from it because of his being one of the Financial Corporation. Under these circumstances the directors trust that you wad see it to be your own interest to pay the call at the time specified in the circular already sent to you, and so spare the directors from the necessity they would otherwise be under of enforcing the said call by legal process.—l am, &c., DEMETRIO PAPPA, General Manager. 31, Threadneedle-street, June 11. The circular referred to in the foregoing is given below : Financial Corporation (Limited), London, May 30. Sir,—We are infonned that notwithstanding the ques tion of the validity of the deed of amalgamation of our conipany with the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited) is still pending, the bank has made a call upon the share holders in the Financial Corporation in respect of the shares agreed to be taken under the deed. We cannot but think it is the object and intention of the bank to take legal proceedings against individual shareholders to enforce the call they have made, thus multiplying litigation and consequent expense. We recommend you not to pay the call, but to unite with other shareholders in defending any action which may be brought, and to subscribe to a com mon fund for that purpose. We propose that a subscrip tion of 3d. per share (n the Corporation) be made, and if you agree with this proposal, please remit your share to the undersigned, under cover to filessrs. Flux and Arglea, 1, East India-avenue, Leadenhall-street, London, to be placed to the credit of the shareholders' defence fund. Only those shareholders who subscribe to the fund will be entitled to participate in its use.—We are, &c., (Signed) J. Slapoe, W. THOS. Kisms, ILate Committee D. HART,' of Sh are holders. FRED. LEVI.

In some of the cases it was alleged by the defend- 40,000 50 ants that the pots had become deficient by wear and tear, 50 . 000 20 but the publicans were told that they had a block which ."„„„, 50 ,„., their servants could use and restore the measures to their 'g: b w o ; ;,,, proper dimensions. The magistrates fined the defendants goK, 20 i in several instances 10s. each and Bs. costs, and ordered the 26,000 25 : measures and weights to be destroyed. Two shopkeepers 50,000 20 I were also fined for short weights and in one case a penalty W. 00 0 .100 ; of 40swas imposed, the bench observing that it was a great 44 2„ , ,,,,,„" 2 °L., ; hardship on the poor to have short weight in food. On 2 z: 0 7,, , 1-; I the application of Inspector Faulkner, of the weights and 10,000 60 I measures, the magistrates allowed him one-half of the 20,030. 601 penalties. The inspector was recommended to direct his 50 , 000 . 20 I attention to other trades, and, as meat was now increased 30 . 000 . 30 in price, to be vigilant that proper weights and scales were 5 3 1 :11 : 2 i 5 used by the butchers.

In later times , the rebel leader, Saler, n 0. 1 , 0) 1 0 0 ,0, purloined several jewels from the building. Still the walls 23,000 20 of the monument are adorned with the rarest trinkets and 5,000 100 jewels, which have been brought together by the devout 20.000 25 zeal of the Shiites, out of love for their saint. Here is an 22 " ,. A" 20 o ° o 25 aigrette (djikka) of diamonds, there a sword and shield .„,„„, ,„ ",, studded with rubies and emeralds, rich old bracelets, large 73,000 p A‘o' massive candelabra, necklaces of immense value. These 25,0001 so and other such like jewels produce upon the mind of the 10,000 5.0001 100 visitor such a dazzling effect t hat he knows not what to 5O admire first—the elegant construction of the dome , the " 24 ,„ ,(401 . 00 many-coloured windows, the rich arabesques, the gorgeous 6"rola carpets embroidered with diamonds, tke thick, massive 50.0001 50 grating of silver, or the swarm of devout worshippers. 17,1561100 Nevertheless, the last is the most interesting. With 6,000100 what contrition, with what fervour and self abasement, 20.0001 5 with what rapture and joy is the Shiite here 2 , 23,00 100 filled ! Tablets on which are inscribed the customary 4 2 4 ° , I °4 prayers, hang from the pillars of the grating. Before each 40.000 be of them a little group of the devout is posted, either to 87,500 20 pray themselves, or to repeat the petitions after the leader 60,000 0 1 2 0 of their common devotions. Thi s the y do with cries and 50.000 sobs, as though thus to open to them the g ates of the :0 0 ,000...,„ 25 abodes of eternal bliss. The wild Bakhtiara and Kurd, 25:,.,4 : the wily Ispahaner and Shirazer, the simple Turk from limo ee Aderbijan, the anxious, careful inhabitant of Central Asia, 27,210 50 the sons of Khans and Mirzas, poor peasants and servants 20,000 100 —all are here mingled together. It is indeed a singular 37,500 20 and sublime spectacle to see how these rude sons of Asia kiss 14: r s with unfeigned tenderness the fretwork of the grating, the 17,061 100 pavement, and especially the great padlock which hangs 10,0001100 from the door of the grating. Only the priests and the 40,000 25 Seids are uninfluenced by these feelings of devotion. Their 10,0301100 only concern is with the pence which they may collect. 0 0 0001 5 0 They force their way everywhere among the devont, nor do they retire till by felicitations or other good offices they have obtained the desired mite. When the pilgaim, filled with awe, walking backward, has at last left the building, he has' earned for himself the honorary title of Meshed', a title which he has inscribed on his signet and his tombstone, and which he ever after prefixes to his name as an Madmen. It confers upon him no less glory and sanctity than the title of Radii (Pilgrim to Mecca). The pilgrim has no sooner returned into the air than he draws a long breath ; his eyed sparkle with joy ; for not only is he now released from the burden of his former sins, but for the rest of his earthly pilgrimage he feels secure and at ease.—Aresinias Vdmbiry, in the Argosy for June. $2,431 'Colonial On o'CLoos. id The railway market is quiet to-day, with very few transactions.

HOsittims Fustracg AOCIDENT.—A shocking accident happened at the Holmes, near Rotherham, on Sun day evening. An old man named Turner woe feeding one iron,furnaces with ironstone for the manufacture of pig when a youth similarly employed at the other furnace heard him cry out, and on turning round saw that the un fortunate man had fallen into the furnace, which was at " full heat." An alarm was instantly given, and as soon as possible tie corpse was got out—an incomplete skeleton utterly denuded of flesh, and presenting no likeness to the human form. It is thought that he may have been wheeling a barrow of ironstone, anti suddenly lost his bold and fallen through the feeding-hole, or that be stumbled and fell over a bar at the foot of the bole. There is no reason to suppose that he was otherwise than quite sober, and his shocking death has excited great com miseration. .IE.
