The total taken► there since the date of the last weekly return is 1244,000, and about 150,000 or 200,000 s )vereigns have within the same period been withdrawn for Turkey. A further call of £2, making £lB paid, is to be paid on the shares in the London and South African Bank by the 26th Sept. The London and North-Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £8,480, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of £6,600. It has been announced by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. that they have been instructed, in paying the current dividend on the sterling bonds of the Michigan Central Rail Way, to deduct the income-tax of 3 per cent, lately imposed in America by the Washington Government. This proceeding on the part of the Company seems wholly in equitable, if not illegal, and should the precedent be followed, as will most likely be the case, in other American bonds of similar character, it will add greatly to the distrust in which the securities of that country are held. Mexican dollars being scarce, pending- the arrival of the Mexican packet, some amount by the Qua en of the Exe and other vessels has to •day been disposed of for China at 612 d. per ex. The price has fluc tuated during the past few weeks between 61d. and 62d. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market this day still firm in prices, but business not so large as yesterday; sales probably 15,000 bales. The half•yearly meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-day, Colonel Grimes in the chair. The chairman stated that the ope rations of the company were highly satisfactory; all their vessels were fully employed, and the directors entertained the hope that at the next meeting they would be in a position to declare a dividend of not, less than 5 per cent. The report was unanimously adopted, and the meeting accorded their thanks to the directors, whose efforts they highly eulogised. At the half yearly meeting of the Victoria (Lon don) Dock Company also held today—Mr. C, Mor rison i❑ the chair—the report submitted showed that during the six months ending June last, 1,547 ships, measuring 552,264 tons, entered the Vietoria Decks, exhibiting an increase of 72 ships and 67,110 tons, as compared with the same period in 1861. The directors, at the invitation of the Fire Insur ance Companies, bad consented to make certain im provements in their warehouses to increase their security from fire, the cost of which would not ex ceed £lO,OOO. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks tendered to the chairman and directors.

The show of sheep was only moderate, and the mutton trade ruled firm at previous quotations. The best Downs wero worth 5s 4d per Blbs. Prime lambs commanded quite Monday's prices, viz., 6s to 6s 4d per 81bs. Inferior lambs, however, were inactive at late rates.

Eighty sick soldiers were drowned. Mr. Cassius M. Clay has made a speech at Wash ington devoted to abuse of the English Parliament, press, and people, and laudatory of France and Russia. England, he said, is the most unfriendly nation upon the earth. Her conduct on the slavery question was hellishly damnable hypocrisy. She was looking for America's downfall, but France protected America. He would not desist speaking against England. When England threatened the national existence, Napoleon was the firm and fixed friend of America. Therefore let America appeal to France not to stand by and let the American Republic be de stroyed by England. Russia was a strong ally of America. He was surprised and struck with ad miration at the condition of the Russian people, for England had misrepresented them. The Russian royal family is the most lively, intelligent, and vir tuous family that ever occupied a throne. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO FATHER POINT.) NEW YORK, August 16 (Evening.) Gen.

Midd!i❑g Upland, 47e ME CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA RETREAT OF GENERAL NEW YORK, AUG. 16 (Morning.) (Per Bohemia via Quebec and Londonderry.) General M'Clellan's army is supposed to have retired from Harrison's Landing down the penin sula—one portion by land, visa Williamsburg, and another portion on transports down the James River. Both routes of retreat were liable to an attack from the Confederates, but it is reported that the movement has been successfully performed. It is not definitely known when General M'Clellau will operate. General Jackson has safely crossed the Rapidan, and is south-west of Gordonsville, with 60,000 men. The high waters of the Rapidan have delayed the Federal forces, but they are reported to be steadily advancing. General Pope's official report of the battle at Cedar Mountain states that the loss of tr.e Federals was 1,500 killed, wounded, and missing, 300 of whom were taken prisoners. General Prince was captured by the Confederates. Confederate General Winder was killed. The Southern journals claim the victory at Cedar Mountain, and state that 30 commissioned officers of Gen. Pope's army have arrived at Richmond, where they would be imprisoned, and finally punished as felons, until the Federal Government should cease the war policy inaugurated by General Pope. General Pope has issued an order, stating that his proclamation directing the army to subsist on the country has been ab use d b y off i cers and men, and forbidding all to molest or disturb the pro perty of citizens. Acts of pillage and outrage veil be punished. Confederate General Lee has addressed a lettei. to General Halleck, threatening retaliatory mea sures for Gen. Pope's order. General Halleck answered that as the letter was couched in a tone insulting to the Federal Govern ment, he should not reply. General Fremont has again been appointed to command the first army under General Pope. It is reported from Memphis that a battle occurred on the 7th inst. at Tazewell, near Cum oerland Gap, in which 3,000 Federals surrendered ; that the Con federates were again in possession of East Tennes see, and that Generals Beaureg and and Bragg were at Chattanoga with 70,600 men. A semi-official Washington despatch declares the report to be totally untrue, and says that no fight took place at Tazewell, except on the 9th,when the Confederates were repulsed with loss. The Memphis report is discredited. It is again reported from the South that the Con federates have captured Baton Rouge with four Federal regiments, and have sunk two Federa gunboats. Official orders have been issued for formally com mencing the draft of 300,000 on the Ist Sept:, and also the additional special draft to fill up all the old regiments not filled by that date. Recruiting has much improved, but tho draiting excitement continues. Foreigners who have de clared their intention to become citizens are not allowed to leave the country. Numerous emigrants enlist on landing. The Governor of Massachusetts has ordered the enrolment of coloured citizens among those subject to the draft. The municipality of New York has appropriated 1,000,000 dols, for the defence of the harbour by gunboats and rams. Three hundred houses in Memphis have been seized under the Confiscation Act. General Butler has ordered a forced contribution of 330,000 dols. from the banks, cotton brokers, and merchants of New Orleans for the support of the poor. The assessments are made in propor tion to the . sum subscribed by the merchants for the defence of New Orleans against the Federal Government. The forced contributions from each firm varies from 85,000 dols. to 6 dole. ; nearly 200 firms are assessed. Cl r o i s c i e n .Li Paid.

Fred. was a clever fellow in his way, but far too fond of self-indulgence to bo a punctual paymaster. He had his hams boiled in Madeira, but very often forgot to pay his actors and actresses their salary. Amongst his stock company a Miss Smith was the leading heroine in tragedy and comedy, and on a certain occasion, when the play of the night was to be " Romeo and Juliet," the actress "struck," declaring to the stage manager (Williams) that she would not recite another line until part of the arrears due to her were paid up. When the stage manager made her resolve known to his principal, the declaration was received with a volley of oaths, and a counter declaration that the offender should not receive a penny. But what was to be done ? The actress was inflexi ble, the lessee equally so, and the public to be propitiated and amused. In this dilemma Williams suggested to Fred. that recently he had an application for an engagement from a provincial actress, which he had not as yet answered. "Seek her out at once," said Fred., "and ask her can she play Juliet ? If so, engage her at once for a month." Fred. was a dictator, and his word was law. To the classic region, therefore, of Stoneybatter did Williams betake himself, and there, at an obscure inn, he was introduced to a very lovely girl, looking, in Barry Cornwall's phrase, As if she had looked in Paradise, and caught Its early beauty. Taken with her appearance, the good-natured Bob Williams told his mission, and asked her could she undertake su large a part on so small a wardng. "Yes she could; she had played it often, and would like to open in it if the chance were given her." This was satisfactory. "Be with us at one for rehearsal, and you shall have a fair start, for your Romeo is Conway, a good actor," said Bob, hurrying away to tell his pleasant story to Fred. That night is a memorable one in the annals of the Irish stage, for then the celebrated Miss O'Neill made her first curtsey to the Dublin audience, who thenceforth never faltered in their allegiance to her sterling genius and inestimable private worth. An Irish audience is seldom mistaken in their appreciation of artistic talent, and in her case their fiat proved the pathway to fame. She be loonged to the stock company for some years, and was then drafted to Covent-garden, where she became the legitimate successor to Mrs. Siddons, and was held to be her superior in all but the finer feminine parts, such as " Lady Macbeth," " Constance," and so on. In " Isa bella," however, a Belvidere," " Jane Shore," and " Evadne," the greatest actress was left far behind. Dur ing Miss O'Neill's engagement in Dublin her male "great creature" was Conway, a very tall man, and " the pet of the petticoats," wh o o n her success applied for a situation in London, obtained it—and failed. Ultimately, after some trials, he sailed for America, and jumped overboard in a fit of despair.—Saunders. A CANADIAN ICE-BOAT.--A special class of craft are those ice -boats, peculiar to Upper Canada, and their navigation requires an amount of skill and courage not every day to be found combined. They are barges or pinnaces, cutter-rigged for the most part, and built of the toughest timber the colony produces. Below the keel, is a raised runner of polished iron, sharp as a skate at the edges, and designed —not to plough the waters, but to skim across the ice of the great lakes. These craft are propelled by sails, and steered by helm, exactly like sea-going vessels; it is hardly necessary to add that with a favouring breeze they can attain a speed never equalled by a ship that has to cleave through water, and not much inferior to that of an express train. But they have the drawback of danger. So many accidents have occurred from the breaking in of the ice from sudden squalls, collisions, and so forth, that these win ter yachts have never attained the popularity of the safe and convenient sleigh,—Dickens's " 4(. the Year Bond," THIRD EDITION.

The half-yearly general meeting of proprietors of flair _company, was held this afternoon at the Bridge Douse Hotel ; the Hon. J. Byng, chairman of the Board of Direc tors, in the chair. The report of the directors, an abstract of which we have already published, was taken as read. The CRAIRMitN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the report showed an increase in the net receipts, which enabled them to declare a dividend at the rate of £4 ss. per cent. per annum as against £4 3s. 4d. last year. This was satisfactory, considering the circumstances which had occurred. The diminution of traffic occasioned by the depression of trade and other causes had been made up by an increase in the Continental passenger traffic, in con sequence of the large number of visitors to the Exhibition. Of course the chief adverse influence they had to contend with was the opening of a rival line to Dover, and the con sequent competition compelling them to lower their fares ; but it would be observed that there had been a large increase of passenger traffic in numbers, though a slight diminition in receipts. After some discussion, the report was a adopted. A resolution; declaring a dividend in. terms of the report was then agreed to, an,' the meeting thereafter nominated two new directors in accordance with the resolution. Messrs. Bulkely and %Vbatman, the gentlemen recommended by the directors, were elected. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of authorising the conversion and consolidation of such of the " Fixed 41 per Cent. Preference Shares" of the company, created let Sept. 1859, as have been fully paid up into Fixed 4f per Cent. Stock, under the powers and provisions of the Charing cross Railway Act, 1859, and the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845. Authority was given to the directors to carry these proposals into effect. A vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE VISITORS TO WOOLWICH ARSENAL.-0 n account of the number of persons attracted to London by the Exhibition, the demand for tickets of admission to Woolwich Arsenal has totally exhausted the stock recently printed. On Tuesday, lithograph tickets admitting upwards of 1,600 persons were made available. About 250 persons who had gone down to Woolwich unsupplied with tickets were denied admission, the regulations to that effect having been rigidly ordered to be observed. Yesterday a great number of persons without cards of admission were also disappointed, and were obliged to return to London. It is suggested that the hours of admission, to be printed on the new cards about to be issued, should be from half-past oto half-past 11 (as the factories and workshops arc closed for the men's dinners , and from 2to 4. This would obviate the many murmurings and complaints of a want of courtesy, &e., on the part of applicants who present themselves be tween 12 and 2, as they would then be made distinctly aware of the regulations. THE HARVEST IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.— Under the influence of most splendid weather farmers have been enabled to make considerable progress with the harvest since last week. Along the banks of the river Trent for miles the cutting of wheat is general, and many fields have been carried in first-rate condition. Around Ruddingtcn there are some splendid crops, and the yield will be pretty nearly to the average. Barley is likely to turn out far beyond anticipation. Oats are exceedingly plenti ful. Beans aT:d peas have done very well indeed. In the vicinity of Basford some of the best crops in the county have been grown, and in this district wheat will be a fair crop, but on the poor land around Mansfield the yield will be light. In the central part of the county a good deal of grain has fallen to the sickle, leading is general, and farmers speak far less gloomily of the anticipated yield. Wheat looks best on the heavy soils; the ears are larger than for some years past, both on the light and clay soils. Barley scarcely ever looked better, and cutting will shortly commence. Peas are re markably well podded. Beans have suffered to a slight ex tent from the smother fiy, but the crops will be abundant. The second crops of red clover are exceedingly promising. Swede and white turnips look splendid. The disease among potatoes, at present, is very exceptional, and the tops look healthy. Harvest work is general in the vicinity of East Retford, and wheat is well spoken of. THE REPRESENTATION OF STOKE UPON-TRENT. —There are now three candidates for the representation of the Parliamentary borough of Stoke-upon-Trent (the Staf fordshire Potteries), viz. :—Mr. H. R. Grenfell (Liberal), Mr. A. J. B. Beresford Hope (Conservative), and Mr. Ser geant Shee (Liberal). Mr. Grenfell is introduced to the Liberal p,rty by the Right Hon. C. P.Villiers, 31. P., the Hon. P. L. Gower, M.P., and Mr. T. G. Baring, chairman of the Liberal Registration Association. In his address, just issued, he says he is prepared to support an exten sion of the franchise, a well-considered re-distribution of seats, vote by ballot, the abolition of C hurch -rates, the extension of education, the foreign policy of the p r esent Government, and the local interests of the district. 31r. Beresford Hope's friends aro making a Vigorous canvass, and it is felt that his return may be regarded as certain, unless the Liberals are united. Mr. S. Pope (Radical) has also issued a n address, in which h e says he is prepared t o offer himself as a candidate on being invited to do so by a considerable number of electors. Mr. Montagu Chambers appears to have retired from the field. A RIVAL TO THE RoLI, OF BATTLE ABBEY.— One of the most remarkable learned gatherings of thepresent year was held recently at the small Norman town of Dives, the old chu rc h t h ere of *Jew to inaugurate th e a ffi x i ng in and a carefully compiled list of the companions of William the Conqueror, in his conquest of England in 1066. Dives, a lmost unknown seaport„ was once among though now a n the most important Norman ports, and is still a locality of mighty memory, for nigh to it, at the mouth of the river Dive, according to Hurtle and Lingard, and all historians, was the a ppointed rende zvous o f Wil liam and his leading warriors prior to their embarkation. In the church of Dives, still standing, William, before he started, offered up a prayer to God. An eminent and munificent Norman savant, M. de Caumont, erected last year a commemorative column on the very spot where the famous host of the Conqueror met ; and it is under his auspices that the recent inauguration of the roll of them has taken place. It was intended to be an international fete, but owing, in all pro bability, to the notice :of the event being about to occur having been given in the English papers, no English were present. The stormy weather, too, prevented many from attending. Nevertheless, the fete went off hilliantly. A meeting in the Market-hall of Dives, a religious service with choice music in the church, a promenade to the lately erected column, and a banquent with 200 covers, formed the principle features of the affair, THE LATE DISCOVERY L CASTLE SZREET, TONG-ACRE. THE MYSTERY CLEARED UP. Information was received yes'orday by Superin tendent l‘l'Kenz e, of the F division, by which all doubt or mystery with respect to the blood-stained linen, &c., lately thrown away by a woman in Caste-street, Long-acre, is completely removed. It appears that a gentleman, whose name and address and circumstances are known, was in that habit of visiting an unfortunate woman living in Tower street, Seven-dials. On Friday,lsth inst, he called on her, and saying that he was not very well, asked her to allow him to lie down in her room, to which she consented. After he had been in bed some time she went to the room and found him in sensible. She sent for Mr. Roberts, surgeon, of Earl-street, who, after applying restoratives with out effect, and opening a vein in the arm, pro nounced life to be extinct. Information was given to the coroner in the usual manner, an inquest was held, and Mr. Roberts made a post-mortem exami nation of the body, the result of which was that the cause of death was disease of the heart aid con gestion of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of natural death. The post-mortem examination took place in the room where the man died, bfiiing the woman's bedroom, and Mr. Roberts cut away the shirt and undershirt as being the easiest way of removing them from the body. They were stained with blood, partly from the opening of the vein, and partly during the post-mortem examination. The woman was puzzled how to dispose of the blood-stained articles, and foolishly took them out into the street to throw them away. This is the simple explanation of the " supposed murder." It ie curious that the police were occupied during a great part of Tuesday night in investigating cer tain information affordel by the friends of a person who has been missing from home since the sth inst. He was a cylinder-sinker, formerly employ e d on the East er n Bengal Railway, and had but lately returned from India. Two maid servants and a washerwoman employed at the coffeehouse where he lodged, identified the torn and bloody shirt as having belonged to him. They are clearly mistaken in that identification, as the articles are unques tionably those removed from the body of the gentle man who died at the house in Tower-street, and who of course was a very different person from the Indian cylinder sinker. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE NORWICH, Aug.—Full particulars have been re ' ceived to-day at the chief office of the Norfolk County Police of a shocking affair which occurred on Monday, at North Lopham, near }lading. It appears that a cloth hawker named Richard Roberts, who has for some time resided at Lopham, has been for the past two years keeping company" with Eaza Hunt, a young woman living in the parish, who owns some cottage property of the value of about £2O per annum. Their wedding has been repeatedly arranged to take place; but it has been postponed from time to time for reasons which are not generally known, except that Roberts has been in pecuniary difficulties. These misfortunes and the fact that a rival local suitor had appeared for the hand of the young woman seem to have preyed upon his mind ; and from a few broken sentences which the injured woman has been able to articu late to her attendants, it has transpired that on Monday morning, at an early hour, he called her up, having come down by mail train from London_ She let him in to her house, and he took a chair in the front room of the cottage, she returning to the bed in which she had sleeping with another woman. About 8 o'clock both the women got up and went downstairs, where they found Roberts still in the front room reading a book. Hunt proceeded to prepare breakfast and the other woman having left the house, the parties sat down to breakfast together. Suddenly, according to the young woman's statement, without using any angry ex pression, Roberts seized her violently, threw her down, knelt on her, and cut her throat. She screamed loudly, and a neighbour named Higgins, living under the same roof, rushed in to her assistance, but the injuries which she had sus tained were so serious that she soon lost all con sciousness. When Higgins and the other persons who had collected began to recover from their alarm they found that Roberts was standing in the room also severely wounded, and bleeding profusely. He, ran upstairs, and being pursued was found crouching under a bed with a knife in his hand, and insensible. The circumstances were at once reported to Mr. Cockell, one of the local magistrates, who issued' a warrant for the apprehension of Roberts ; but it was found that the injuries which he had inflicted on himself were so serious that he could not be removed, and last night he was scarcely ex pected to survive. His intended victim has rallied, and some hopes are entertained of her recovery. THE BANK OF ENGLAND NOTE FOR,9ERIES. Yesterday John Lee was brought up before Mr. Bigge, stipendiary magistrate, at the Town hall, Brighton, charged with uttering a forged £5 Bank of England note, well knowing it to be forged. Superintendent Barnden briefly stated the case, the facts of which have already appeared in The Sun. Richard Alexander Bevan, a partner in the Union Bank in Brighton, stated that the note prod need, purporting to be a Bank of England note, was paid into their bank on Monday, the 18th inst., and sent to the bank of Jones Lloyd and Co., their bankers, on the following day. The initials on the note are " L. T." the number is 83,165, and it is dated 26th of March, 1862. He received the note himself', and it was forwarded to London by one of the clerks in the bank. It was returned by Jones Lloyd and Co. on the following Friday, as it was discovered that the note was forged. Prisoner, in answer to Mr. Bigge, said he had no thing to ask the witness. He was an inuocentman. Caleb Ken ward, an apprentice to Mr. Corder, linendraper, North -street, deposed that prisoner passed the forged ,E 5 note produced on Monday the 18th of August, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He saw prisoner standing at the counter. Prisoner here interrupted witness, calling upon Almighty God to witness his innocence. He was as innocent as an unborn batie. Witness continued—An apprentice brought him the note, and he saw the change given. Prisoner—l can prove I'm a highly respectable jeweller in London. Witness—When the note was brought to hint he was in the adjoining shop. He (witness) took the note to Mr. Corder, and then took it back to his desk, where it remained till the evening, when he delivered it to Mr. Frederick Corder with other money. That was between 5 and 6 o'clock. He George gc i did not see any more of it. The apprentice who gave him the note was named Thomas 11 1eat,Per. Witness and saw another g as a s v is e t l‘ a i n e t a n g a e m r Xed4 Os, 9d. in in Starr change, glue e it to prisoner.. Wit ne ss first saw the prisoner w h en h e w ent to show the note to Mr. Corder, and also when the money was paid to him by Starr. Superintendent Barnden—How long were you standing by the counter when you saw the pri soner there ? Witness—Tao or three minutes. y Did you tak e particular not i ce o f hi t. Y es, I did . Have au any doubt at all about the prisoner? —Not the slightest doubt. sir. By Mr. Bi rzge —Saw prisoner on Saturday in Lewes Gaol. He was brought before witness. By Superintendent Barnden—Previous to his going t o L e wes he was cautioned that if he ha,l any doubt about the prisoner's identity he should give him the benefit of it ; but he had no doubt. B y gr. Brigge—The note was not endorsed when first brought to witness ; but prisoner afterwards en d o rsed " Fred er i c k L ar d ner,l4, Ki ng ' s - ro ad, Chelsea." Mr. Gadston, clerk in a firm at 34, Old Jewry, London, h ere entered the room, and said h o was d , - irons of rep resen ti ng t h e pr i soner . I ‘ l r. Bigge decided that he could not allow this. If solicitors appeared for a prisoner the magistrates had some control over them, which they bad not over a clerk. Mr. White, chief officer, then asked for a remand till Tuesday next, which was granted. Mr. Gadston—Will your Worship accept bail? Mr. Bagge—Certainly not. Prisoner burst into tears, and called upon. Almighty God to attest his innocence. He was then removed. EXECUTION AT WARSAW.—A letter from Warsaw, of the 21st inst., in the Independence, says :-- 4 ( Th e execution of Louis Jaroszynski for the attempt on the life of the Grand Duke Constantine took place this morning at nine o'clock, on the glacis of the citadel, in presence of a crowd composed of about ten thousand persons, among whom were a large number of women belonging to the middle classes. He was brought to the place of execution in a cart drawn by one horse, seatod, and having bes ide him a Capuchin monk, holding a crucifix. On arriving at the foot of the scaffold the sentence was read to him, and ho was covered with a long white dress which c overed his bead; in a few seconds human justice was satisfied. This melancholy spectacle made a deep impression on the crowd, especially the femal e portion, but no dist urbance took p lace. Jaroszynski had b een condemned by the court - martial to be shot, but the aut h or i t i es charg ed the trial orde re d hi m to be depri with the revision of ve to his conditi on, and he was dof the rights attached executed by hanging." INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The payments at the building yesterday were 48,168, shilling-day tickets 737, and season tickets 3,950, making a total of 52,695 Yitiitcrs—just about the usual average for Wechloday. 411 - '1 - 'l.
