A general improvement took place in the Stock Exchange Markets yesterday afternoon, consequent upon purchases on speculative a.^•count, which com pletely altered the tendency of aZairs. The ad vance, it is true, made very little progress, but still it was regart ed as a symptom of recovery from the depression noticed some days previously. This Morning, however, sellers have again come forward, and their operations, together with the upward movement in the rates of discount, and a further withdrawal of sovereigns from the Bank of England, and the advices from Italy, have led to renewed indications of weakness. The latest prices of Consols are 94 for money, and 931 1, for the account.

THE SUN, LONDON, VVEDNESDA.Y . .04 VENING, POLICE-THIS DAY. MANSION-HOUSE. THE CITY OF LONDOI , RIFLE BumaDE.—This morn ing a number of summonses taken out against several mem bers of the rifle brigade for arrears of subscription wer heard before Alderman Humphrey, who sat for the Lord Mayor, amongst which Wes one against a gentleman named Vanderoyd, who was summoned for non-payment of sub scription. The adjutant of the regiment (Captain Ewins) said Mr. Vanderoyd entered in November, 1869, when he paid his subscription, but since :hat time he had fallen into arrears. Mr. Vanderoyd—l duty any arrears. I never was sworn into the regiment at al.. I entered, it is true, but within four days I sent in my resignation. Captain Ewins—We aon't acknowledge that resignation. Mr. Vanderoyd—Yoir worship, I called repeatedly at the head quarters relative to the question of my resigna tion, but never with any success. Alderman Humphrey—l am afraid there is some insub ordinat;on in the corps. This irritation, if continued, will most likely break up tie regiment. Captain Ewins—We are only trying to get rid of those members who are not doing us any good. Alderman Humphrey—But Mr. Vanderoyd says h• never joined the regiment. Captain Ewins—Your worship, he did join it, and there (handing in a printed document) is the acknowledgment of a payment of the first year's subscription, and also the entrance fee, amounting to two guineas, Mr. Vanderoyd—The fact is, a friend of mine wished to introduce a certain number of members to the corps to ob tain a command, and on the 16th of November, 1859, I paid a year's subscription, but in four days after I sent in my resignation. Alderman Humphrey—l think these cases ought to be settled out of ccurt. Mr. Vanderoyd—l called more than a dozen times to effect some arrangement, but without success. Alderman Humphrey—Captain Ewins, it is calculated to destroy the regiment if these questions are permitted to go on. I don't think you ought to do so. I confess I should be very sorry to see the brigade broken up. Captain Ewins—l am not doing so. Alderman Humphrey—Very well ; then some one is who ought to know better. Captain Ewing—We don't question Mr. Vanderoyd's word respecting his resignation. In the present instance I am only acting under the orders of my superior officer. Mr. Vanderoyd—l never was sworn into the regiment. Captain Ewins—You have been considered an effective member of the corps. Mr. Vanderoyd—l never was sworn in. Alderman Humphrey to Captain Ewins—He don't be long to you. You cannot make a man belong to your corps who never was sworn in. I think the most amicable way to settle the present question is for the regiment to receive 10s. as the costs of the summons, and then strike Mr. Van deroyd's name off the roll. Captain Ewins—Will you, sir, adjourn the case until our solicitor is in attendance ? Alderman Humphery—Yes, but I think Mr. Vanderoyd had better adopt my suggestion. Mr. Venderoyd—l have done so, but the money has been refused. Alderman Ilumphery—Then keep it in your pocket. I don't see how you can be considered a member under the circumstances that have transpired. Captain Ewins—Then this and the other cases are ad journed. Alderman Humphrey—Yes, until this day month. It will be much better if some arrangement is come :to. It appears there is some insubordination in the regiment, which I am very sorry to see. The parties then left the court. _ .f PRICE OF GOLi. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile premium td the short exchange on London is 25.20 per xi sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 1 7s. toid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in London and Paris. advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per Inark, and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt p rice is, there fore , rather more than 5-fifths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at C O days , sight is 1274 to 128 per ce nt., and the premium on 401,1 about 16 to 164 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. SANSONATE, July 10.—Information has been re ceived here of the loss, at Realijo, of a vessel from Liver- Pool to California, with iron, &c., which put into that port f or provisions, the whole being a total loss . , and was sold, It is said, for £1,202.

ROBBERY BY THE PORTER OP THE "LONDON STEREO SCOPIC AND PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY."—Robert Gallo way, porter, was charged with stealing an album, the pro perty of Air. George z , wan Nottage, manager of the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, 110, Regent street, M r. Wm. Cussands, manager of the company's West-end branch establishment, said, on arriving at the Regent street establishment yesterday morning, the housekeeper handed him a duplicate relating to an album pledged at the shop of Mr. Aldis, in the name of Marshall. Be at once suspected the prisoner Galloway, the porter, as the person who had taken it from the stock and pledged it. Re, in consequence, went to Vine-street, and got the assistance of Sergeant Joy, 9 C, and, on going to the pawnbroker's with him, identified the album as the property of the com pany. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Cussands said he could identify the album from particular marks on it, and was certain it had never been sold. When he engaged the pri soner he was informed that he had been discharged from Messrs. Chappells for getting intoxicated ; but, thinking that he might not trangress in a similar manner again, he employed him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had had the situation given to him out of kindn►ss, and then he took advantage of his access to the etock to commit a robbery. An assistant from Mr...kldia's having recognised the pri soner as the person pledging the album, Mr. Tyrwhitt com mitted the prisoner for two months' with hard labour. EXTENSIVE ExpEzzLEatExT.—Francis Sidney Holding, secretary to the Universal Advertising Company (of which Mr. John Caldwell is the representative), Dean-street, Soho, was charged with embezzling several sums of money—in all £2OO. Some evidence having been given, the accused was re manded. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Caldwell, who is the well-known proprietor of the Assembly rooms, in Th an-street, &c., about three years, and his defalcations are said to extend over a great portion of that time.

IMPUDENT CASH -Box ROBBERY.—GeOrge Dyson, a stout, well-dressed fellow, aged 26, and who described him self as a joiner's tool maker, of No. 1, Bonner's-place, Vic toria-park, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cash-box containin g £29 15 8 . in gold, silver, and copper monies, the property of Mrs. Prudence Howe, the landlady of the Nag's beer house, Bow Common-lane, Bromley. Head ale and Mrs. Sarah Ann Gore, a married woman, who said she was the daughter of Mrs. Howe, saw the prisoner and two other men in the Nag's H ead yesterday afternoon. They were conversing together, and there w as som ething in their demeanour she w itnessed with suspicion, and I watched Them. Two of the men entered into conversation with her mother, and engaged her in all kinds of talk. Mr. Selfe—While the third Was looking up your mother's cash-box, Mrs. Gore—Yes, sir ; I missed th e prisoner and looked after him. I saw him coming down stairs and enter a pas sage where he had no right to b e. I seized him by the collar and said, " You have been i n m y mother's bed room." He had something under his coat, and I said to hi m , " What is that, give it up cirectly ," on which he dropped my mother's cash-boa at nay feet. I held the f e llow until I obtained assistance. Mr. Selfe—You behaved with great courage and pre sence of mind. The cash-box contained all the money. Mrs. Gore—None was gone, si r . There is £29 15s. 40. in the box.

FOURTEEN OF KENT.—At half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning this match was resumed at Canterbury. The weather was beautifully fine, and the spectators were numerous. On Monday evening, just previous to the drawing of the stumps, Carpenter was so severely injured in the arm that he was compelled to retire, a ball bowled by Mr. Lips combs causing the accident; and yesterday morning it was so bad that he was unable again to appear in the field. The following is the state of the score :—Kent, first innings, 171; second, 225; total, 396. England, first innings, 165. The match will be resumed to-day. The attendance on the ground was very numerous. SURREY CLUB AND GROUND V. COUNTY OF MIDDLE SEX.—This match was resumed yesterday morning at the Oval, Kennington, Middlesex finishing their innings for 145 runs. Surrey commenced their second innings, and hitting was the order of the day. Mr. E. Douson exhibited some fine cricket in his score of 94, also Mr. F. P. Miller and Mr. F. Burbidge for their respective scores of 61 and 47. The game was continued this day at twelve o'clock, and great excitement prevails as to the result. The follow ing is the score : — Surrey, first innings, 209 ; second in nings, 318; total, 527. Middlesex, first innings, 145; second innings, 81. HOP INTELLIGENCE. The South Eastern Gazette reports the progress of the hop crops in various parts of the country. We select reports from some of the most important plantations. Maidstone.—The high winds during the past week have bruised the burr and made great havoc among the poles. The nights have been cold, and with mould and fireblast on the increase the prospects are very much against an average crop. Rochester.—The late rains have improved the ap pearance of the hops, and all that is now wanted is a few weeks of fine weather to bring them to maturity. The crop in this district is anticipated to be equal to a £200,000 duty. Sevenoaks.—The hops are still progressing, and the burr is coming well out, but warmer nights are required to bring the fruit to perfection. Staplehurst.—The gardens are now presenting a beautiful appearance. The hops are showing themselves very fast, and quite as many and as fine as was anticipated. In the un sheltered grounds the high winds and heavy rains of the last few days have done some damage Cranebrook.—Our hops are now out in full burr, which looked extremely healthy previous to the winds of Thursday, but which, we fear, have done much damage. Canterbury.—Some of our grounds have suffered a good deal from the late high winds, and many of the poles are blown down. Other wise an improvement has been going on, slightly retarded by the cold nights, of which we have had several during the past week. The grounds are coming well out into hop. Sussex.—The high winds of last week did considerable damage to the plantations in this county, and the hops made but comparatively little progress except in the strongest of the grounds. There is still scarcely any complaint of vermin, but fireblast is spoken of at places. Most of the growers, how ever, are in hopes of realising an average crop. Worcester.—There is nothing new to report of our hop plantations (says the Worcester Herald), which continue in the same blighted and back• ward state, and where the bine is strong enough to put out any young shoots it is immediately covered with vermin, which will prevent its doing any good this season, and there is no doubt that with one or two exceptions the crop in this district will be the smallest on record. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MONDAY EVENING. Early this morning a woman named Bridget Nl'Laughton, the wife of Samuel M'LaughtoL, a furniture broker, residing in the Dog-bank, cut her husband's throat with a razor, and then cut her own with the same weapon. In neither case is it expected that the wounds will prove fatal. The wretched woman and her husband are both of dis sipated habits. MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK LANE. There was a very small supply of English wheat on sale here to-day, and the trade ruled firm, at quite Monday's currency. New home-grown wheats sold at from 62s to 64s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably good. In most descriptions a moderate retail business was transacted, at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at late rate;. The demand for barley the supply of which was small ruled steady, at full prices. New Kentish barley sold at 30s to 38s per quarter. The malt trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. For oats there was a fair demand, and their value was well maintained. Old beans and peas were without change in value. New grey peas sold at 38s to 40s, and new white do at 42s to 44s per quarter. On the whole, the demand for flour ruled steady, at quite previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English.— 620 10 . 2580 i 90 1 280 sack . Irish.. ..... ...

(Fronz the West Surrey Timm) Upon whatever hypothesis the deaths of the two brothers, Charles and Herbert Bittlestone, be ac counted for, we believe the affair to be without a precedent in the criminal annals of this country. The circumstances which surround it are indicative rather of the romantic notion s of the Gaul than of the staid demeanour of the Briton • and when it is considered that these t wo men were clerks in a city office, pursuing a daily round of plodding work, their conduct appears to be even more strange and unaccountable. As the last and only judicial investigation which can ever take place into the occurrence has now been terminated, we may be excused f or dwelling upon it for an instant. There are three theories on which the deaths may be accounted for Suicide may have been pre-arranged by the brothers, and each may have killed himself, pursuant to some extraordinary compact entered into between them ; 2d, One may have killed the other, and then have committed suicide upon himself ; and 3d, Both may have been murdered by a third person. Tne third alternative may, we think, at once be dis missed from notice. The pistols and instruments of death recognised by the father as the property of Herbert, his Youngest son, fairly lead to thein ference that in one of the other two theories an ex planation must be sought. The first of these sug gestions is the one which the father favoured. He was utterly unable, he said, to account for it, or to say why such a s t e p s h ou ld b e t a k en by his two sons ; but he and his family had arrived at the con clusion that this was a premeditated and pre arranged double suicide. Front this conclusion the father could not be moved, and when closely pressed by the coroner as to how he reconciled certain pas sages in the letter with such a view, all he could say was, .that doubtles s somet hi ng wou ld come out " after a bit " which would account for it. He de clared that his sons were like other young men of their class ; not over enthusiastic ; but steady, quiet, well-behaved young men, affectionate in their home associations, but not more so than others of their class. He knew of no attachment which either of them had formed. He believed that the supposed female name in the letter, which h a d been so-care fully erased, was that of his daughter Emily, of whom Herbert Bittlestone was unusually fond; and he could suggest nothing which should lead to a transaction of this fearful nature. The jury, which was an unusually intelligent one, was very much puzzled by the evidence of the senior Mr. Bittle stone. They could not believe that this deed was perpetrated without any motive. They could not believe that the writer of the scrawl on the back of the tailor's circular referred to his sister Emily when he wrote, " Take the gloves the writer wears to —, and tell her that he died blessing her and praying for her happiness. • . And as the last request of her dying child, he asks his mother to love and to take care of her as far as possible." It is not consistent with experience that so roman tic a passion should exist between a brother and a sister, that the prayer of a d y i ng suicide should be addressed to his mother begging her to take care of her daughter. Why should it be necessary to urge such a request? And why, too, suc h care to erase the name of his own sister's had ever b een i nserted ti Pre? The jury were right in discarding this view, and in thinking, as they eventually did, that the name of some young lady to whom one or both' of the brothers had been attached had there been writ ten. One point the father did clear up. Until h e was examined every one was of opinion that the underneath man was the younger, and that the lett er had been written by the elder, who had died last. 'This the father contradicted. Herbert, the younger man, was above, and Charles, the elder, was beneath. The view taken by thejury . evidently inclined to the second of the theories which we have mentioned above, and all the evidence tended in this same di _ rection. Herbert, by his own letter, was confessedly a suicide ; was he not also a murderer and a fratri cide ? To this fearful interrogatory they have not thought it necessary to return an answer. N o eye save that of Him who shall judge us all at the last day saw the deed done; and the jury were right in saying that by whom the wound which occasioned the death of Charles Bittlestone was inflicted there was no evidence to show. It is remarkable that the bullets, the powder-flask, the percussion caps, and all the instruments of death were found upon Her bert, while on Charles was found the copy of a newspaper, bearing the date of the day on w hich the two brothers set out on their excursion, and indi cating that he was not at all intent upon crime. It is remarkable, too, that two persons going fishing in company had only one rod between them. And it is singular that no return railway ticket was found on either of the deceased. The question was not asked at the inquest ; but the police would surely have pro duced the return tickets had such been found. We may add that the police were in error in say ing thateither of the deceased wore a wig. Both wore their natural hair, but owing to the decomposition it had parted from the scalp. Under all the circumstances, the jury have adopted a safe view in the verdict which they have returned ; and, as the result of their inquiry, Herbert Bittlestone will be buried at night, between the hours of nine and twelve, and without the rites of Christian sepulture. From a careful analysis - of this case the theory at which we have arrived is this :—That Herbert and Charles Bittlestone were in love with the same lady ; that the lady favoured the pretensions of the elder brother : and that the younger, consumed by a devouring flame, resolved that as his suit was re jected, neither should possess her. That, animated by these feelings, he engaged his brother Charles to join in his pretended fishing excursion ; and that having enticed him into the sequestered spot where the bodies were found, he there foully murdered him, and then committed suicide upon himself. We further believe that the letter to which reference has so often been made, was written beforehand, with the view of removing from his memory the stigma attaching to a murderer, and encouraging the idea that each had committed suicide. This view is cor roborated by the evidence of Mrs. SusannahMorum, wife of the colt b rea k er res i ding on the common, who distinctly swore that the pistol shots followed each other at an interval of not more than two minutes ; whereas it would have taken double that time to have written th e l etter i n quest i on. But we will not further pursue this painful sub ject. The jury are entitled to great credit for their patient investigation, and for the sensible verdictat which they arrived and Mr. Brown of Cobham will assuredly receive the approval of his own con science and the thanks of all for the measures which he took to discover the relatives of the deceased persons, and which were fortunately crowned with complete success.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The directors have this day resolved to recom mend to the proprietors, at the halt-yearly meeting, to be held on Friday, the 22d inst,, a dividend at the rate of 31- per cent. per annum, carrying for ward a balance of £4,080, GREAT WESTERN. It appears from the financial statement of this company for the half-year ending the 30th of June last that £13,755,495 had been received on shares, and £11,102,982 on debentures, loans, 63:c., making the total receipts on capital account £24,858,477. The total expenditure on capital account in respect of the various railways, works, and plant belonging to the company amounted to £21,938,334, and in subscriptions and disbursements for other under takings to £2,199,822,making together £24,138,156, and leaving a balance of £720,321. The capital account of the Shrewsbury lines now belonging to the Great Western Company shows that £3,647,015 ha.l been expended upon them. The joint capital account of the Great Western and West Midland Companies shows a total outlay of £695,272. The joint revenue of the Great Western and West Mid land Railways for the half-year ending the 30th of June shows that £ 1 ,244,728 had been received, and £618,405, or 49.68 per cent. expended in working the traffic, &c. ; L 31,705 paid for rent-charges 11 branch railways, also £16,347 for interest on capi tal expenditure on joint account, and £88,250 for fixed rent and allowances for plant, &c., of South Wales Railway, leaving a balance of £541,202 for division between the two companies. Of this the Great Western receives 82-.1 per cent., or £446,492, and the West Midland Company, 17f per cent., or £94,710. From the £446,692 received by the Great Western they first deduct £2,500 towards and legal expenses, and 00 for doubtful debts, leaving £442,492. To this is added £10,424 brought forward from the precedi ng half-year; £12,000 a portion of baler:lces reserved. from revenue account prior to June 30, 1861 ; a n d £12,438 for dividends on shares in other companies, making the total £477,354. From this sum is de-- ducted £20,189 for guaranteed annuities to Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, and Kennet and Avon Canal; £20,666 for rent-charges of the Gloucester and Dean Forest, the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester, Breatford Dock, Wycombe Rai:l - and trustees of Paddington Estate; £65,638 in respect of interest and dividends on the Shrews bury lines ; and, finally, £347,440 f or i nterest on loans and preference shares (exclusive of £12,799 charged in joint account), leaving a disposable sum of £23,420—0ut of which it is proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of a h a lf per cent, per annum, being for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, £20,593 ; leaving a balance of £2,827. At the corresponding period of 1861 the disposable sum was £95,069; the rate of dividend 21, per cent. per annum, being for the half-year £92,669, leaving a balance of £2,400, showing a decrease in the dis posable sum of £71,649, and an increase in the balance carried over of £427. This comparison is not of much use, because the circumstances of the Great Western are quite different now from what they were at the corresponding period of 1861. On the Ist of July, 1861, the Great Western and West Midland commenced working together on joint account, and at the end of the half-year, Dec. 31, the total receipts were £1,212,201, and the portion divisible between the two companies was £714,510, of which the Great Western took 821 per cent., or £589,471, and the West Midland 171 per cent., or £125,039. The result was that the Great Western Company had a disposable balance of £133,983, out of which they declared a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, which absorbed £123,559, and left a balance of £10,424, with which they commenced the past year. On the Ist of January last the two companies jointly commenced to lease and work the South Wales Railway, paying the latter a minimum rent of £170,000 a-year, and also certain allowances for plant and expenses. The payment to the South - Wales Company under this arrangement for the past half-year ending the 30th of June amounted to £88,250. The first half of the year being the least productive by £lO,OOO or £12,000, the rent fell heavier on the receipts of the past half-year than it will in the mat half-year. 'his, however, is but a small matter as compared with the loss over the combined systems of the three companies during the half-year from the great depression of trade in the mineral and manufacturing districts. The deficiency on the Shrewsbury lines was increased from £12,142 to £22,494, making a difference of £10,352 against the Great Western, instead of, as formerly, showing a reduced amount of deficiency payable every year. It appears from the traffic returns of the Great Western, 'West Midland, and South Wales Rail ways combined, during the first 22 weeks of the past half-year, that there was a decrease of £3,488 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, but during the four following weeks in June the receipts were so increased by the operation of the International Exhibition that an augmentation of £20,100 was produced on the receipts of the 26 weeks as compared with the corresponding period of 1861. Under ordinary circumstances it is pro bable that an increase of about £60,000 might have taken place in th 3 receipts of those lines during the past half-year ; at all events, the traffic receipts in the current half-year are much more encouraging, for they amount in the aggregate for the first five weeks to £333,402 against £288,413 for the corre sponding period of last year, showing an increase of £44,989, or about £5,000 per week. THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. A sudden and somewhat severe check has been given during the last week to the very lovely summer weather which had just set in. Strong indications of a storm became apparent on Wednes day, and on that afternoon and the following day the wind blew with a force almost amount ing to a hurricane, whilst the rain descended i n torrents. Little or n o rain, how ever, h as fallen since Friday, and the tem perature remained moderately high. Harvest maycntoyw b to be general throu g h out the county of A considerable breadth of 'wheat has already been cut, and in a very few days, should the weather prove favourable, a good deal will have been cleared in good conditi. • on. The reports from different districts are very conflicting. From a careful analysis of the statements which reach us, we arrive at the concl • usion that the wheat crop is not likely to exceed a fair average. Of barley and oats the accounts are much more favourable ; the latter,, indeed, are extremely we ll spoken of, and the crops I are said to be good in bulk and quality. In exposed places the heavy storms of wind and rain of last week have produced their natural results. As a rule, however, the damage has been less than might have been anticipated, and the harvest is so little advanced that the rain is held by many to have done, upon the whole, good rather than harm. The pastures have been considerably refreshed by the showers and look all the better for the soaking they have had. From the hop districts there are varied accounts, according to the localities. The Sussex reports are perhaps, on the whole, the most satis factory. There is still a remarkable absence:of ver• min and disease, and although the heavy winds of the past week have, in exposed situations, bat tered the bine and blown down the poles, no per manent damage of any extent appears to have been sustained, while the effect of the , soaking rains has been undeniably beneficial. The estimates in East Sussex do not in any degree point to a large contrary, a moderate growth only crop. On the , thereis aumitted much s l ac k seems anticipated , and bine. From some parts of Kent the reports ate satisfactory, but in others the mould continu es t o d this will regards spread, 912 tell both as quality an d quantity. In Herefordshire and Worcester there-are serious complaints, and the growers in the latter county appear almost to be resigning them selves to a blight. Under the combined influence of these various circumstances things are looking up in the Borough, and there is an increasing demand with better prices. —Su ssex Advertiser. ----- --- A society has been formed in Victoria, Australia, called the Victoria Society of Blues the members of which wore all ed uca t e d i n Ch r i s t's Soap y'
