Mr. Martin Van Berea, of No. 17, Blenheim-terrace, Kensington, and his wife appeared to answer a summons charging them with conspiring together to defraud Mr. Thomas Offer Cleric, an upholsterer, of Clapham, of a quan tity of furniture of the value of 441. Mr. L. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Martin for the defendants. The complainant said that on the 21st of July, 1865 he WM waited upon by Mrs. Van Buren, who was then Mrs. Hayward, a widow, at his boldness premises, for some goods on credit. He consented to let her have some on her producing some one as a guarantee. She then said she could get a rmerehant in the City, and a moneyed man, to guarantee payment. In • few days afterwards she brought Mr. Van Buren, whom she represented as hire; her trustee, and a City merchant, and they selected some goods. On the 11th of October witness received a guarantee and ho sent the goods to her at Blenheim-terrace. He should not have sent the goods if he had not believed Mrs. Hayward's statement that Mr. Van Buren was a merchant in the City and a moneyed man. About February last he called on Mrs. Hayward for the money. She then told him that she had altered her name, and that she was Mrs. Van Buren. She also mid that she had not received her money, and promised to call and pay for the goods. On the 22nd of March Mr. van Buren alled to make arrangements for repayment. He stated that he had not received his wife's money, but he would be sure to have it in three months, and asked him to draw a bill for the amount. He also said that be should haveample funds, and that he would pay the money himself if his wife did not receive her property. Witness accordingly drew a bill for the amount,and it was accepted by the defendant, payable in three months after date. A few days before the bill became due the defendant called nixie him and showed him a deed which he wished him to *n. He offered witness two shillings in the pound. Witness refused to accept it, and said he must have - known that he was going to marry Mrs. Hayward at the time she had the goods. He replied that he had not the slightest idea of it at the time. In cress-examination the witness said he had trusted the female before this transaction. Other evidence was given to show that Mr. Van Buren was not Mrs. Hayward's trustee, and that she got her living as a governess and by letting out apartments. At the request of Mr. Lewis, the defendants were remanded for the production of further evidence, bail being accepted. SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT CLAPHAM. A dreadful occurrence which has cast quite a 1 gloom over the parish of Clapham happened near the common last night, whereby an interesting little girl ' about ten years of age, the daughter of a gentleman living ' in the neighbourhood, was killed instantly by the wheels of a market gardener's large waggon peasingover her head. It appears that about half-past 7 o'clock • light carriage, drawn by a pony, and containing • gentleman, • boy, and the deceased girl was being driven along the road by the aide of the common towards London. The works of the Southern Main Drain age are being carried out by the side of the road, and sounds of earth are piled on it to • height of several feet. Just as the carriage was passing the spot where the excava tions are going on it was upset, as some alleged, by the wheel getting on to the earth, while others state that it was in consequence of the pony taking fight. At the moment when the carriage was overturned the heavily laden waggon was passing the spot, and the unfortunate child being thrown out the wheels of the waggon weed over her head, smashing and mutilating it in • frightful manner. The sad occurrence was witnessed by a number of neurons on the common, and two ladies, who were close bv, were so affected that they instantly fainted away. The greatest excitement prevailed. In the course of • few minutes some hundreds of people co'lected. The driver of the waggon, who, as far as is at present known, was entirely blameless, mimed distracted, but not more so than the gentleman who was driving the carriage, who, it is understood, was the father of the deceased. The remains of the poor girl were instantly collected and removed. The coroner's in cant will shortly be held.

The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He commenced by referring to the perilous ordeal through which the bank had passed, and the successful manner in which it had gone through the trial when many other banks had succumbed. Nothing could be more unser upulous and malevolent than the conduct of certain members of the Stock Exchange with regard to that bank-con duct which had caused great anxiety in many private families. Most calumnious reports were spread by the persons to whom he alluded, and nothing could exceed their determination to ruin the bank if pos sible. As regarded the accounts, the capital and reserve remained intact. There was a diminution of 1,124,00 W. in the customers' balances, which now stood at about the same amount as this time last year. Under all the circumstances it was wonderful that the bank had suf fered so little, and he was happy to say that money was coming back again, and the customers balances had in creased 350,0001. since the let of July. (Cheers.) After some discussion the repot was adopted, and a dividend of 6 per cent. for the half-year having been I declared, the customary votes of thanks terminated the proceedings. THE ALLIANCE BANK (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders in this bank was held at the Bank-buildings to-day for the purpose of confirming the resolution passed at the recent meeting held at the London Tavern, to the effect that the eusting rules and regulations of this company should be repealed, and that in lieu thereof (*ruin new rules and regulations should be substituted. Mr. CHAYTOR was in the chair. The advertisement csliing the meeting having been read 1 by the secretary, The CHAIRMAN moved the formal resolution confirming the previous one, stating that the change proposed to be made were fully explained at the last meeting, therefore it was unnecessary to reiterate the statement he then made. In reply to SHAREHOLDER, The CHAIRMAN said that a copy of the resolution had been sent to every shareholder, for the purpose of eliciting their opinion, and they could not now enter into the question of the increase in the qualification of the directors. He added in reply to another question that they had not at present any opportunity of letting the pre mises in the building not required for the purposes of the bank. The resolution was then agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. SUSPENSION OF THE ON. OLD BANE AT CONGLH T Yesterday great excitement was occasioned in the town of Congleton in consequence of the stoppage of the Old Bank, belonging to Mr. George William lialL At 9 o'clock, the hour of opening, the following notice was posted on the bank doors : " In consequence of the lompoontinued pressure in the money market, the proprietor of this bank feels bound, in justice to his creditors, to suspend payment. A meeting of creditors will be called as soon as a complete statement of the accounts can be produced." The consternation and surprise which this totally un expected announcement created was depicted on the countenances of the group. of tradesmen and others who trod round the budding as the intelligence spread the town and neighbourhood. It is generally thought, however, that the operations of the bank were not of that extensive character locally as to very s eriously affect the town, beyond the individual losses of the fe rather heavy depositors connected with it. The bulk of the loss—should there he any absolute permanent deficiency — will, it is expected, fall hardest upon the old families in the town and neighbourhood. who have for many years kept accounts at the bank. There are three banks in the borough—the Manchester and Liverpool Dis trict Bank (branch), the Congleton Savings Bank, and the Congleton Old Bank, the one which yesterday suspended payment. The latter is a private hank, and has been in existence, under one firm or another, for a number of years. Formerly, the business was carried on in the name of Fowler, Gaunt, and Co. ; afterwards the late Mr. Fits- Adams conducted the affairs ; and, for the past sight or nine years, Mr. Hall has carried on the bank. The exact cause of the stoppage, beyond that alleged in the office notice, has not dearly been ascertained ; and it is merely surmise at present whether the failure a few weeks ago of the English Point Stock Bank of London (formerly Belden, Sharpe, and Co.), the metropolitan agents of the Congleton Old Bank, has precipitated a Eimilsr disaster in connexion with the latter. The bank proprietor was the treasurer to the Congleton Corporation, the Congleton Poor-law 'Onion, the Congleton Savings Bank, the Congleton Gas Company and Lighting In the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, etreefittr'Battalion of Chester Rifle Volunteers, and a number of other local bodies. Mr. Hell, the proprietor, yesterday resigned his office s treasurer to the corporation. The event is doubly disastrous owinir to the unparalleled de pression which has for a long tune existed in Congleton, there being a greater number of heads out of employment, and a larger number of dwellings empty than for the past twenty or thirty yean.—Mmentseter mssininer.

Ova o'Cwoa, I Much to the disappointment of the mercantile community, the directors of the Bank of England have separated to-day without making any change in the rate of discount. It is stated that they are determined not to make an alteration until the reserve has reached 5,000,0001. The stock markets, in consequence, are dull, and the improve ment of per cent. which took place in the funds yesterday has been lost. A reduction is also observable in some of the British railways and foreign bonds, but banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares have scarcely varied, in the absence of business. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are still inquired for. There is a fair demand for money to-day, but the supply is large, and choice bills are still dis_ counted at 8 to 9 per cent. Consols are now quoted 884 to 1 for money, and 881 to 1 for the account (August 9). Turkish Bonds of 1862 and 1865 are flat, and have declined 1 and per cent. respectively. Spanish Passive have also receded 4, but the other speculative descriptions are unaltered. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 50 to 52 ; ditto of 1865, 263 to 27 ; Greek, 114 to 12 ; Spanish Pas sive, 194 to 204; ditto Certificates, 143 to 15 ; Italian, 1861, 513 to 521; Brazilian scrip, 31 to 23 die. ; and Mexican, 171 to 4. United States 6-20 Bonds are in demand, and have risen per cent., viz., to 684 to 691. Erie Railway shares are quoted 423 to 431, being 1 per cent. better ; and Illinois Central, 744 to 3. The shares of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company continue in request, and show a fresh rise of 12a. 6d., the present price being 131 to 14. Atlantic Telegzaph are steady, at 34 to 3. International Financial shares are now quoted 13 to 14 dia. ; London Financial, 124 to 114 dia. ; General Credit, 14 to 13 dia. ; Credit Foncier, 3to 23 dia., ex div. (8/. paid); and National Dis count, 74 to 8 prem., ex div. An instalment of 10 per cent., making 80 per cent. paid, fell due yesterday on the Egyptian Go vernment Railways Loan for 3,000,0001., but a large portion had previously been paid in full. The final instalment of 12 per cent. is payable on the Ist of September. The General Credit and Finance Company of London (Limited) announce that definitive certifi cates are ready to be exchanged for scrip of the Imperial Ottoman Five per Cent. Loan of 1865. About 7,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, making a total of 168,0001. for the week, while inthesame period only 38,0001. has been with drawn for exportation. There is very little demand for gold for abroad, owing chiefly to the firmness of the French exchange, and the influx to the Bank is therefore expected to continue. The America, front New York, has brought 33,0001. in specie for England. The steamer Atrato, for the West Indies, will take to-day 24,0001. in specie (silver coin). The bar silver by the Mexican packet was sold yesterday for Holland at 51. 0,1(1. per ounce, being fd. better than the price current on Monday, but the same as that of Tuesday. Theb , ddings for bills on Indiatook place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were :-To Calcutta, 23.14.500 Fts. ' • to Madras, 56.000 Ra. ; and to Bombay, 1.79.000 Rs. The minimum price was as before, viz., Is. 10d. on Cal cutta and Madras and la. 104 d. on Bombay, at which rates allotments were made in full. These results indicate only a slight revival in the demand for the means of remittance to India, for of the 350,0001. of bills offered on the present occasion, only 254,950/. have been sold. 'the failure is announced of Mr. Edward Tier nan, tea broker, of Great Tower-street, owing to losses in tea stud by bad debts. The liabilities reach about 30,0001., and an unfavourable liquida tion is expected. Advices from Glasgow announce the failure of Messrs. Edington and Sons, ironfounders and en gineers of that place, with liabilities amounting to 230,0001., against assets valued at 120,000/. This stoppage is stated to be directly caused by that of i Messrs M'Ewen, Bryson, end Co., of the same city, which occurred a few days ago, and upon whose estate Mr. David Law, the sole partner in Messrs, Edington and Sous, is understood to rank m a creditor for 79,000/. The liabilities of Messrs. M'Ewen, Bryson, and Co., are estimated at 350,0001., while the assets are said to be merely nominal. These announcements have had a very depressing effect upon the market for pig iron. Advice' from Manchester state that the Preston Bank is likely to be re-opened for business within a fortnight. It is understood that Lord Derby's government have undertaken to make good the pledge given a year ago by Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Somerset, and Lord de Grey, acting as a com mittee of Lord Palmerston's government, for the imperial guarantee of a loan of 4,000,0001. sterling, for the construction of the Intercolonial Railway from the Riviere du Loup on the St. Lawrence to Halifax. It will be remembered that this under taking was from the first contingent on the confe deration of the British North American provinces, which has hitherto lain in abeyance in consequence of the refusal of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to merge themselves in the Canadian Legislature. The new parliaments in those provinces having, however, now voted for confederation, and dele gates fro m ' them and from Canada having arrived here to arrange the measure with the home govern ment, nothing but the details of the confederation apparently remain to be settled. It being origi nated with the home government on imperial grounds of policy, and involving as it did a sacrifice of the local interests of Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick, it was stipulated that parliament should, in return, guarantee the cost of the railway required to open up these provinces, and to connect them with Quebec. Guarantees of this kind have grown unusual ; but in this case the guarantee is founded TALLOW MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) on a political bargain.

We trust, indeed, that parochial authorities will do all they can, but there are many ways in which additional ch aritable bl relief is much ch n eeded. I propose to arrange th Metropolit Relief and District Visiting Association for the proper administration of a special Cholera Fund, and I cannot doubt that there will be an immediate and abundant answer to the earnest request which I now make that those who have the means will help us, for Christ's Bake, in this vi emergency. It seems my best course to employ the well known society for relieving the poor in London of which I am president, and which has its machinery already ex tended all through the infected districts. A. special account will be kept of all donations sent to the Cholera Fund,' and a careful statement published from. time to L time of the way in which the was contributed are ap plied. Money may be paid to the ' Cholera Fund of the Metropolitan Relief and District Visiting Association,' either t Messrs. Berries and Farquhar's, St- ames's. street, a or at the office of the Association, 21, J Regent . street.'
