Oss a shelf behind the bar is the money deteotor, and dietetly underneath are several small casks containing cordial.. Between these Duke, and immediately underneath the detector the prisoner habitually placed his pocket-handkerchief, instead of in his pocket.

The evidence given yesterday was similar in effect to that which has hithei to occupied the greater part of the inquiry, the •Amesses being chiefly persons who had re ceived money at the last election to be expelided in the purchase of votes for the conservative candidate. Mr. C. C. Aldred, the mayor of the borough, was ex amined in the course of the day, and declared the state ment that a meeting was held at his house on the Sunday to be one of Mr. Castel on's mare 's nests. The "stranger " who had been referred to was Mr. E. C. Aldred, a distant relative of his. He bad • near guess that that gentleman would be employed by Mr. Nightin gale to carry money to Mr. Cooper. He was not aware that Mr. Nightingale provided the money, but he knew that it mime through him. He believed that with • pure election in Yarmouth Sir B. Lacon would be returned, but could not say whether strangers coming forward on conservative principles would be returned. There were a majoi:ty of conservative electors. He was unable to say whether it was the lower class of voters who were open to corrupt influence. Et= the first mo ment Mr. Brogden entered the town he said he was pre pared to spend 10,0001. Mr. Hammond made an overture to Mr. Cory that the conservatives should withdraw one candidate or the liberals would buy them out, and he had no doubt this threat had some influence in inducing the conservatives to spend money. The inquily was adjourned till to-day. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT PENCHURCNSTREET STATION. Mr. Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the London Hospital last evening, touching the death of John Wallis, aged 41 years, a porter in the em ploy of the BlidLind Railway Company. George Pilbrow, a switchmen, employed at the Fen chureh-street Railway station, said that last Saturday, after 12 o'clock, he was in his box, when he saw the de. ceased walking along the line in the direction of the telegraph station. The 12.15 Blackwell train came along the metals between which the deceased was walking. The engine -driver, Joseph Thornton, kept blowing his whistle, but deocamed took no notice, for men accustomed to the whistles do not pay half the attention to them that strangers would. The engine caught the deceased in the back, struck him down , and ran over him. He was fright fully injured, and the railway people at once carried him to the hospital. The de cea sed was one of the porters of the Midland Railway, who were in the habit of carrying messages to the telegraph station at Fenchurch-street. Joseph Thornton, the driver of the Blackwell engine No. 3, stated that he did not only whistle continually hut " beat the whistle" to make a more discordant warning, in order to attract the deceased's attention. He also ap plied the breaks but without avail. Mr. E. Greenaway, house-surgeon, said that deceased died from his injuries soonafter his admission to the hospital. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." MAIO LISTS--(THIS DAY.) On o'OLooz. The amount of business in the railway market to-day is limited, and prices generally exhibit no variation.

Rigby and Beardmore, situated at Park head. In the portion of the works where it happened, when in full operation, no fewer than nine ponderous steam hammers are employed night midday in compe ll ing into shape glowing masses of red-hot iron. Motive power to these tre mendous machines is 'applied by • series of boilers. The one which burst, for fortunately only one gave way, was used for working a powerful five-ton hammer, situated almost directly in front of the Duke-street gateway, the boiler being located • few yards to the west. From • slackness experienced lately in the receipt of orders, the works had not been doing much since the holidays, but on Monday this boiler was doing duty, and at 6 'p.m. was placed in charge of a young man named John Tennant, for the night-shift. So far as is known, Tennant attended to his work in th e usual way, and all went well until five or ten minutes before 7 in the morning, when the boiler exploded with frightful violence, uoending like • rocket straight up in the air for upwards of three hundred feet dous , and fal li ng l vt directly on its bed with a tremen crash. the confusion caused by such • disastrous and unex pected event had • little subsided, and the eked of steam been dissipated, search was made for the killed and wounded, of whom, no doubt was entertained, there must be a Beat number. It was found that three persons had been killed :—Arch. Russ, ' forgeman ; Wm. Purdie, • hammermen and James Paterson, • bricklayer's boy. Ross and Purdm were married men, we are informed, and leave widows and three or four children each. Six labourers were discovered to be so seriously injured in miseellaneous ways, by welding, cuts, and bruises, as to render their removal to the infirmary advisable, and thither they were conveyed socordinily.—Olsopow Basing Citizen. Some extraordinary weather has been experienced in Bootiand during the last few days.

While the winds yesterday the overßrill& Isles were chiefly ----- light from the northward, a westerly current prevailed over the greater part of the continent ; barometric pressure increasing in • southwesterly direction from Sto inches over the Baltic to about 90 . 1 In. over Spain. There la little change to notice to-day, except that barometers in the west of Ireland have fallen about a tenth of an inch, while over the rest of the British Isles pressure has continued to In crease. Very little rain has fallen, but the weather continues overact. " The resignation by the Prince de Metternich," says the Literii, " of his post as Austrian Ambassador at Paris is no longer doubtful ; he persists in it, and has only consented to remain until his suocessor shall be appointed. It will not be without sincere regret that the salons of Paris will see the departure of the Prince and Princess." The Cologne Gazette has the following :—" Ac cording to what transpires on the subject of the secret sitting of the Chamber of Nobles on Monday, the commit- tee of privileges has received a proposition tending to ex clude from the house Count de Weetphales, au hereditary member of the assembly. The count lately declared, sill known, that he considers himself s released from his oath of fidelity to the King of Prussia, since his Majesty has dissolved the Federal Diet." " We learn," says the Meuse, " that the Bel gian government is actively occupied in the transforms. tion of the arms of the infantry. The best systems of needle guns are studied with the greatest care in the Liege arsenals, and we have heard that the committee charged with this task has pronounced in favour of a weapon leav ing far behind it the famous Prussian arm." GALLANT RESCUE OF A LADY FROM FIB=.—(THDI DAY.)—A fire, which was very nearly being attended with a fatal result, broke out about half-pest 3 this morning in the premises of Miss Pitts,l3, Lamb's Conduit-street. The whole of the inmates, except a lady named Emmeline Sarah Bedwell, on beinaroused managed to e ff ect their ei.cape in safety ; but she being in the third floor beck room was unable to leave it owing to the density of the smoke. Conducter Last, of the Royal Fire Escape Society, after mounting his machine found her almost suffocated with the heated smoke. He instantly seized her, carried her from the third to the second floor, and the escape being in front of the building, handed her over to Conductor Thompson, who 'serried her down to the street in • very exhausted condition. The flames were confined to the lower pert of the premises. The fire was caused by an escape of gas. The property was insured. SHOCKING DEATH.—Mr. C. F. Carttar, coroner, held an inquest yesterday at the Roebuck Tavern, Lewis ham, on the body of Walter George Winchester, aged 44, a ticket inspector of the South Eastern Railway Company. It appeared that on Sunday night, as the 11.13 North Kent train from Woolwich was leaving the Lewisham station, the deceased, who had just come from an adjoin ing platform of the Mid Kent line, was offered • bunch of flowers by William Hall, a driver in the service of the company, who, although off duty, was riding on the engine. The deceased ran along the platform to reach the engine, when by some means he missed his footing, and fell against the first carriage, from which he rebounded and fell under the succeeding carriage across the metals. To save himself the unfortunate man threw out his arms, but the wheels of the third carriage passed completely acrom his cheat, from right to left, killing him on the spot. Mr. Nelson, the station master, said the decamped had been 19 years in the compasy's service, and was a par ticularly dearly and sober man. Th e jury returned a ver dict of " Accidental depth." THE TEMPLE Putirs.—The result of a careful analysis of the water from the firer pumps in the Inner and Middle Temple, by Dr. Nand, professor of chemistry at fit. George's Hospital, is the condemnation of the water of one of them, long favoured in the Temple—viz., that in Hare court. After having been twice analysed, with the same results, the water is pronounced to contain organic matter, as proved by the residue left on evaporation becoming dis coloured by heat. The presence of oxydised compounds of nitrogen points to the possible contamination of the spring by organic matters of an animal origin. Dr. Road, con firmed by the medical officer of the West London Union under the orders of the Privy Council, strongly recommends the continued closing of the pump during the prevalence of the present epidemic. The pump, therefore, remains closed till further orders. It is satisfactory to find that the water of the other three pumps, which are now open, is pronounced free from animal matter, and quite fit for drinking. The condemned water is described by Dr. Road as nevertheless " bright, free from smell and taste, and faintly alkaline." MARRIED BENEATH HER.—Yesterday, at Wake field, a miner, named William Rotherey, about 20 years of age, was summoned for allowing his wife to become chargeable to the union. The wife is a person of very superior position to her husband, and it was much against the wishes of her relatives, who are persons of some serial standing in the neighbourhood of Wakefield, that she had married him. After living with her for about a month he turned her penniless from the horse, on some trifling excuse, retaining all her clothes and a large number of valuables she had brought with her; and, her friends refusing to have anything further to do with her, she had been compelled to throw herself upon the parish. It was arranged that Rotherey, who was in the receipt of 37a a week, should allow bis wife Ss. • week, which sum was stated to be bendy, if at all, the interest for the things she had brought hint—Manchester Courier. THE Navy FRENCH Musxst—A curious experi ment with the Chaseepot musket, adopted by the military commission appointed to examine the different inventions of breechloaders, has just taken place at the camp of ChAlons. A letter in the France gives the following ac count :—" General d'Auternarre, the president, ordered • company of 80 foot &assents, armed with the gun in question, to be placed at 400 metres from a target reps menting the front of a squadron of cavalry. In the rear and to the right of the chasseura was placed a detachment of Guides at 400 metres also from the line of fire. One signal given bythe president the latter charged at a gallop,and at the moos moment the others commenced firing by files at the target. The object of the trial in question was to se. certain by counting the shots fired and the balls received by the target while the cavalry was going over the distance of 400 metres, or in other words, the effect produced by a fir* of Infantry on • squadron charging. The Guides went over the distance in 32 seconds— en extraordinary rapidity for horsemen heavily accoutred and in a troop—the in , fantry fired during the same period 320 shots, and the target was 'truck 160 times, or 50 per cent of bullets discharged. The experiment was repeated the second time, and with exactly the mine result. The effect of 50 per cent of the shots is terrible ; also, as in half a minute 80 chasseurs sent 320 bullets at the enemy that is exactly four to each man. If 83 horsemen bad= charged those 90 riflemen they would have all b e en down on the way." MONET MARITET.-(THIS DAY.) ors o‘huow. Business in public securities has been checked by the sudden demand for gold for exportation to New York ; yet prices generally are steady to-day. Consols and moat of the British railway stocks are unaltered, while some of the foreign bonds have experienced a alight reduction. Banking and financial shares have - been little dealt in, but the former me in request. Credit Fonder and Mobilier are flat, and have receded about ss. The discount market continues quiet, with vary few tranaactions. The supply of money being large, choice paper is readily taken at 7 per cent. Bills are being kept back in expectation of a reduction in the Bank rate, but the belief in a downward movement to-morrow is not general. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans on English government securities is 4 to 5 per cent. Consols are now quoted 884 to f for money, and 884 to f for the account (September 6). The dealings in foreign stocks are limited, and the tone of the market is rather dull. The reduction in some of the speculative descrip tions, however, including Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Mexican, does not exceed 1 per cent. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 50i to 511 ; ditto of 1866, 26 to ; Greek, 11 to I ; Spanish Passive, 191 to I ; ditto Certificates, 141 tog ; Italian of 1861, 521 to 1; Brazilian scrip, 21 to 2 dn. ; and Mexican, 16} to United States 5-20 Bonds have improved 1 per cent. and Erie Railway shares 1 ; but Illinois Central are without change. The present quota tions are subjoined :-5-20 Bonds, 691 to 70 ; Erie Railway shares, 44f to 46}; and Illinois Central, 761 to 77. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are steady, at 11 t to /, while Atlantic Telegraph are slightly better, at 3 5-16 to 7-16. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dis. ; Genteel Credit, 2 to 11 dia. ; Credit Foncier, 31 to si as. ; and Rational Discount, 71 to 8 pram. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was 62,0001., including 30,000 sovereigns received / from abroad. The steamer Allemanis took yeaterdaylo2,ooo/. in gold (American eagles) for New York. This supply was recently received here from the same quarter. It is understood that an active movement is on foot for the resuscitation of the Agra and Master man's Bank with the view of preserving for the benefit of the shareholders the valuable busiresa and connexion of that establishment in the East. It is to be hoped that the effort will be successful, and it is almost to be regretted that the attempt was not made earlier, although doubtless the strin gent position of the money market has been the cruse of the apparent inaction. The directors of the bank are said to have appointed • committee who are now daily considering the subject. The amount for which tenders for bills on India will be received on the 6th September is 360,0001., of which not more than 120,0001. will be on Bom bay. We are requested to state that Mews. W. Younghusband, junior, and Co., of Adelaide, South Australia, are entirely unconnected with Messrs. Younghusband and Co., of London, whose bills have been returned. The law wand in the Spanish Cortes for the set tlement of the Passive and Certificate Debts being in force until the next meeting of the Cortes, in qniry has been made at Madrid as to the time fixed by law for that event to take place. The snare is, that the 31st December is the day on which it must meet, according to the provisions of the Con stitution. The government has therefore four months before it for its action. It seems probable that the government will, for the moment, adopt a waiting policy, as regards the Certificate question. A letter from Madrid, dated the 18th instant, quotes the price of the Three per Cent. Interior Consols as being firm at 36t0 f for the account at the end of the month, with a tendency decidedly upwards. If this stock shall advance to 40, the provisions of the law can at once be carried into effect. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the rates for Holland and Hamburg have slightly de clined. An adverse movement has also taken place with regard to St. Petersburg. The rates on Prance, however, continue firm. The Italian quotations are a fraction lower, the change being fr :ourable to the currency of that country.

With reference to Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), an application was yesterday made to - Vice-Chancellor Stuart by Mr. Geo. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, the solicitors, for an order to inspect the books, under the 156th clause of the Companies Act, 1862. After hearing the evidence and the affidavit of Mr. Oswald Howell, the ac countant, the order was arranged to be granted on Tuesday next, provided the application was then made on behalf of several shareholders for the general body. At the meeting of the Berlin Waterworks Com ' pany, held yesterday, the disposable balance was stated at 20,2061., and a dividend was declared for the half year at the rate of per cent. per annum, free of income tax, leaving 2,2571. to be carried forward. An extraordinary general meeting of the Hop and Malt Exchange and Warehouse Company (Limited) was held yesterday, a hen a resolution was passed authorising certain alterations in the articles of association. At the adjourned first ordinary general meeting, held subsequently, the report of the directors and the statement of ac counts (which were submitted at the first meeting) were unanimously adopted. At the first ordinary general meeting of F. Braby and Co. (Limited) (Fitzroy Zinc and Gal vanized Iron Works), held on Thursday last, an ad interim dividend was declared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending August 10 amounted to 10,6901., against 12,500 l . for the corresponding period of 1865, showing a decrease of 1,8091. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,220/. compared with the corresponding period of 1865, and the Glasgow and South Western an increase of 666 t.

Therewas a iuotenAte supply of home-grownwheat ousels here to-day, a fair proportion of which wan of this year's growth. As the weather is now favourable for harvest operations, the trade for both red and white qualities was very quiet, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Thequantity of foreigu wheat on the stands was some what extensive. For all descriptions sales programed slowly on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent at the recent improvement in pnces. With barley the market was scantily supplied ; the trade In consequence ruled firm, and late rates were well sup ported. Malt moved off slowly at previous currencies. The supply of oats was good. Good and fine samples found buyers readily at full prices, otherwise the demand was heavy, at about late rates. Beans were dull, but no change took place in prices. The show of ample!, was very moderate. Peas met s limited inquiry on former terms. Flour moved off slowly at Monday's quotations. Linseed and rapeseed were fi rm in pros. Cakes were heavy, but net the Ter. ARRIVALS 0* GRAIN, de, INTO LONDON, BY WAXILY . CARRIAGE. FROM Atiorn 18 TO AUOUPT st. iNcLusivs. Wheat. Barley. i Malt. Oats. now. qrs. I qrs.

A NIGHT IN A BALLOON CAL—The following narrative of a 1: , ...y . . ascent in • balloon is given in the Durham Omni.- .. This ascent took place recently from Wharton Park :—" Although rain fell, the atmosphere was pretty still, and Mr. Metcalf determined to proceed with the ascent. Owing to some delay in the inflation, it was nearly 9 o'clock before the folds of the balloon were 'dß , ciently expanded t.i enable it to ascend, and then not to an extent origin .lly contemplated. Mr. and Mrs. Met calf had both intended to ascend, but, owing to dark ness coming on before sufficient inflation had taken place, Mrs. Metcalf determined to go alone. Ascend. ingly, about I, o clock, the ' intrepid lady aeronaut' stepped into the car, and the moorings having been unloosed, the oilmen rose into the air. It took u.n easterly direction over Kepler Wood, Kepler Grange, and the Raintmis, and in the direction of Houghton, but was Noon lost te view. Anxious inquiries were made as to whether the ball.on had landed safely, hod as no tidings had been heard of the fair voyageur nex ay up to 12 o'clock, consideralde uneasiness was experienced by her husband and friends on her account. This feeling win however, sho.y ...terwards dispelled, for about 1 o'clockrt the lady arrive i in Durham, bringing with her the balloon, which was conceye.l in a cart. It appears the balloon had kept in an easter ly direction till over Houghton-le-Spring, when it 'tree, a current which wafted it more to the south-east. The balloon had travelled about nine miles in twenty mitr:tem, when Mrs. Metcalf perceived the sea about half a 1L.:6 distant. She made a rapid descent and landed in a :ie:il skirting a plantation, and, althoukh there was no owl present to render the least assistance, the descent was inc.iie with the greatest safety. Being a stranger to the loos slity Mrs. Metcalf had no idea of where she was ; and n, sign of habitation appearing. she was fain to make a virtue of necessity, and, stepping into the car, . she covered hers.l with the folds of the balloon, to sleep till daylight, wl.en assistance might be procured. At 4 o'clock in the morning, wet and weary, she went in search of assistance, and at length came to a cottage about half I a mile distant f rc.in the village. Here she aroused the 1 inmates, and. in answer to their inquiries, said she was a traveller, requesting assistance and a cup of tea, for which she would willingly remunerate them. Not a ware of the peculiar circuminaticies under s i v= the stranger chimed their hospitality, the inhabitants of the cottage were naturally averse to be disturbed at that early hour in th , ., morning, and not receiving a very satis factory answer, Mrs. Metcalf wended her way back to where she had left the balloon. When she arrived she found two men beside the prostrate machine, one of whom In quired if she was the person who had knocked at as cottage door. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, every hoepitslity vine of course readily tendered, and Mrs'. Metcalf having got somewarmtesand her dress thoroughly' dried, th e soon herself again. It turned out that the vil lage i n e distance was Hawthorne, and that the balloon had descended between Easingtce and Cold liesledon, in a field slitting Hawthorne Dens. Having procured the ser vice of a vehicle for the conveyance of the balloon, Kra. Metcalf arrived in Durham about 1 o'clock in the after noon, much to the relief of her friends."
