Two 0'CL04.2. There has again been scarcely the slightest variation in the funds, which are touted the same as yesterday afternoon. The market wears a tolerably steady appear ance, although business is very languid. The other departments of the Stock Exchange are dull, and in a few instauces, including Canadian Railway shares, a drooping tendency is observable. Generally, however, prices are steady. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at 67fr. No., being the same as yesterday. Consols are officially marked 931, and g for money, and 931 and for the account. The present quotations are 831 for cash, and 93i to for the 11th of October.

The foreign stock market is likewise quiet. Buenos Apes Active Bonds exhibit a fresh advance, having been dealt in at 99. Turkish Bonds are unaltered.

The demand for money at the Bank was a little more active yesterday, but still moderate. In Lombard-street and elsewhere the best short bills were discounted at 31 per cent. At Vienna on Thursday there was a fresh fall of per cent. in the Austrian funds. No bullion was purchased by the Bank yesterday. Owing to the slackness of the demand for exporta tion, however, further parcels are expected to be retained here. The Persia, from New York, has brought 81.,0001. A - coaduita with 2,000,000 dols. (or 400,0001.) in silver arrived at Tampico from the interior of Mexico on the 9th of August. This large sum is expected at Southampton about the end of the pre sent month.

At the West Riding Court, at Bradford, on Thursliy afternoon, • well-dremed, smart-looking man, named Brownhill Helmsley, formerly of Leed s , an d said to be respectably connecte d was charged with embezzling several slims of money belonging to the Leeds, Bead- Gal, and Halifax Junetiot Company, in whale service be had been. In July, 1859, the pnsmer was appointed by the Leeds, Bradford, sod Halifax Company, clerk in charge at the liirkaushaw station on the Gildenome branch of their railway. He remained in that capa city till July last. His dirties were to receive money for goods and passengers at the Birkenshaw station, and to render an account each day in writing to Mr. Wm. Hudson, the company's cashier, at Bradford, of the money received and the moneyowing by any customer for goods delivered,a n d also of any money paid on behalf of the company. In several sheets of account rendered on the 12th of July to Mr. Wil kinson, the secretary of the company, of money alleged to be .wing to the company, there were sundry items, and amouipt the rust were one of 19s. std., and several others, together amounting to V. 17s. 7d., purporting to be due from Hz. Emmanuel Haley and Mr. John Willey respectively, in respect of the company having delivered to them as farmers quantities of lime. These items, however, had both been paid by those gentlemen, Mr. Haley paying tie 1%. Md. on the 7th o f April last. and Mr. Willey the W. 17.. 7d. on the 2111. July laat. Receipts, rendered in the prieouer's handwriting at the time, were produced. The primer was under n. tire to leave the company's ser vice on the 18th of August, but he disappeared ou the :ilst • of July, without givin g a ny notice or leaving his address. • He had been apprehended in London, by Mr. Superinten , dent Copeland, of the West Riding constabulary at &al -1 ford. Being asked before the magi-treks, after the usual I caution, if 110 had any thing to say, the primmer stated that he had not appropriated the money to his own nse, • but bad taken it to discharge some amount. owing by the company. The prisoner was committed for triaL INDIAN POLICE CONFESSIONS. --- In a ease at the late criminal sessions of her Ma jesty's supreme court (mays the Ra Weer), thecae's's& for the prisoners made strong remarks against the preliminary police investigation in getting up the prosecution. This has led to some &acumen among our local contemporaries, is which the practice of extorting confessions by threat or physical torture was severely condemned. That this pew tine penile to a considerable extent in the )(dual, only the ignorant can pretend to question. That it ix resorted to under the Dow of the supreme court, in spite of au efficient her and • free press, scenic prepestsrem Neverthcleas, the fact is notorious. 'Mr. Craw-fuel. the senior magistrate. baa publicly come forward to assert that not one case of torture by the police of the island de proved during the period he presided. Mr. Crawford may be right a. far as he goes, yet the general impression has been that the police are not scrupulous either in creating evidence, or in making prisoner, confess the imputed guilt. A person on suspicion is arrested and closeted with policemen, where his friends ma neither me him nor hear his voice. When he comma out, err rehired on bail, a woeful tale is told ; but there are no marks on the body, no wane.' who does not belong to the police force, to give evidence to the treat ment received by the prisoner. We know we shall be asked for profs. We can give an example. A girl, who bad ou her ornaments, was missed ; suspicion was directed on an old woman, and she was arrested. By the magical persis ted of some of the police myrmidons, she confound her guilt of murdering the girl for the ornament s . Th e culprit, it is maid, even pointed out the place where the dead body had been thrown. The magistrate (Mr. Leeks) was Doting down the deposi. thins, when lo ! the murdered child appears full of health, without any injury to her limbs. We can cite other cases, but we know that we have no other evidence apart from the complaint of the persons injured. We might, however, mentiou one. A rich Parsee finds a portion of his jewellery diaappe,r ; a servant is suspected and police are sent for. Moon after the supposed culprit is shut up in a room, bela boured cruelly and made to confess. In this case, the in jured party was really the culprit, and a good portion of the stolen property was recovered It has been urged in some quarter., though not openly published, that strong and ar bitrary measures are sometimes necessary. It is pointed out for example that the talim gaup which had grown to be a peat, could nut have been put down, bad not uncoustitutional measures been resorted to at a time when the injured weld.' not dare to give evidence in a police court. We menet sabered* to this. The talini gaup had grown formidable to the honest poor, on account of the notoriously inefficient and corrupt police in the tune of Mr. Furjett • predecessor. A vigilant and honest police, we are persuaded, is strong enough to put down any organised gang, without infringing in any way on the eights of a citizen. When a crime is committed, the !asides; mils, et Isoc pease em W% know that, fading to trace the crime, and detect the culprita, they would be die mined the service. They pitch upon the suspected, and make a short work of the affair by extorting confession. That the innocent and the guilty equally suffer, we have no doubt. The increased watehfulDeas of the press, and the dread of the supreme court, will, we hope, pat an end to the. practice. The firm step in the right &Detain would be a strict prohibition of closetiug prisoners with policemen. Droi.l24E or BANoos.—The Right Rev.

The Loudon and Middlesex, and the Surrey Arch geological Societies are, it apposra, trying to make mrangements for a eerie of evening meetings-to be held once a mouth—during the winter.

Durant and Co. report last evening as follows : We have had a month of limited businees in silk. The season of the year would in part account for this, bat that is not all—the home trade is wretchedly bad, and foreigners show no disposition to purchase beyond daily requirements. The strike at Coventry is at an end, but now the employers are afraid to commence operations, sad this feeling is .bared and to some extent acted upon by their brethren in other districts. Prices are unfortunately very high, and so de cided is the determination of consumers to keep out of the market, that notwithstanding the extremely mall stock of old silk, the first arrival of about 1,000 bales 'new silk from China has hers allowed to bang apes the market for two or three days, and is only being sold parcel by parcel with out the least symptom of competition or eagerness to par chase—and this nut from any question as to the quality of the silk, for on this point, thus far at acv rate, there is no reason for complaint. Chinese thrown oak has commanded rather more attention, especially the better qualities and finer sizes, and the deliveries have been good, but the stock ia so large that at present they make no impression. Canton silk has not found favour with consumers—the prices are thought to have been pitched a little too high. Bengal silk has shared in the general quiet. In IGdian, Brutis, and Paulen silk, nothing. The following is from the monthly hide and leather circular of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co., dated yesterday We have had more settled times in the leather and hide market since our last issue on the flth ult., most of the ea tetra to be liquidated open the late failures being now is coarse of winding up, and the trade, with the exception of small failures of no moment, and chiefly confined to the country traders, is gradually assumingn firmer and more steady appearance. The London leather market is reported by the factors to have met with a large demand at steely prices. The sales of the bankrupts' estates are now proceed ing, and as the bond fide stocks held by them are not large, it is expected that they will be cleared without ma terially a ff ecting the market. At the Bristol leather market, now being held, the stock of leather offering, of all kinds, is reported to be large, and that sales are being made without alteration in prices. While speaking of this market, it may be, uin index of the future, as well to state that the tanners complain of the prices of hides being higher than the current rates for leather for some time past have justified. Salted Hides—Thin market generally has shown a disposition to advance, Booth American Baladero heavy ox selling at 71d. per lb. in small quantities, being an ad esteem of td. to Id. per lb. upon prices current this clay month, while light ox have remained steady. The business in Australian hides, chiefly fur export, has been large, with a firm market and an occasional advanced id. to id. per amount lb., the sales to 40,01 X) hides, at the following prices for first elms. Sydney : Heavy, Mid. to 50. ; let light, aid. to .11d. ; Ist class Melbourne, slel. to 50. ; Int light, 40. per lb., the largest relative a-trance being mule upon Melbourne, the late imports of which bore tees of better cure and quslity than usual. Two series of pul:rie sales have been held Omar our Lot monthly iouie, at both of which the general state of the trade was very satisfactory and improving.
