CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. There was quite a rush of applications for the Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Cents. and the Vene zuelan Six per Cents. at Messrs. Heywoods, Ken nards, and Co. and Messrs. Baring Brothers. Al though in each establishment additional clerks were engaged the labour was excessive, and it was not got through till long after ordinary hours. The applications for the new Venezuelan Loan of £1,000,000 stock :reached about £7,000,000. The scrip closed at 3 to 31 prem. In the case of the Peruvian loan the subscriptions reached a very large amount, some say nearly £3,000,000, and it is quite certain that the list to individuals who are Lot holders of existing stock—. either Four-and-a-Half per Cents. or Three per Cents.—will be immediately closed. The scrip stood in the morning at 31 to 4 prem., and closed at 11 to 21 prem. Portuguese scrip left off at 31,- to / prem., and the second issue of the Egyptian Loan at 81- to 91 prem. There was a continued demand for the Egyptian Loan, which. shows a fresh rise of 1 to 11 per cent. About £300,000 of gold has been purchased for exportation in the open market out of the recent arrivals. According to rumour, it is for transmis sion to Lima on account of the Peruvian loan. There were no bullion operations at the Bank to day. We understand, however, that the outgoing West India steamer, the Seine, which will sail to day, will take about £350,000, nearly all gold. The influx of specie, however, especially from America, continues on a considerable scale. The arrival is announced from New York of the Kangaroo, with £209,000. The Bank of England have notified that on Tuesday, the 2d of September, the New .E 3 per Cent. Annuities, the Reduced £3 per Cent. Annui ties, the Annuities for 30 years, and the Annuities for terms of years will be transferable without the dividend due on the 10th of October next, and that the transfer books of Bank Stock will shut on Tues day, the 16th of September, and open on Tuesday, the 14th of October_ The Gazette specie statement for the week ending - Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz. : Imports of gold, £735,565 ; exports of gold, £101,398; imports of silver, £230,775; exports of silver, £118,819. It is stated that some of the members of the Stock Exchange propose calling a meeting to con- sider the manner in which the appropriations in foreign loans are made, the numerous letters of re gret in the case of the Portuguese contract being the foundation of the proceeding. A memorial is in course of preparation for the signatures of those Who may be interested in the question. A small Irish railway is announced, under the title of the Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway Company. The length of the line is less than eight miles, and the prospects appear to be good. Mr. Alfred Mocatta, of London-wall, has joined the direction of the London and Middlesex Bank. Major Remington Williams has joined the direc tion of the Thames Express Steamboat Company. The Liverpool Cotton Market this day was Steady, with a hardening tendency. Sales pro bably 12,000 bales. The telegrams received this afternoon of one day's later date from New York quote the ex change ,131*, and the premium on gold 191 per cent. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The necessary arrangements for the monthly liquidation of commercial accounts have produced very little effect upon the Money Market. In Some quarters the demand for accommodation may be rather larger, but extreme easiness continues to prevail, and the available supplies of floating capital appears as abundant as ever. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £576,700, and the exports £128,260. The Seine, which left to-day with the West India mails, took out 124,900 in specie. The Ceylon, sailing on the 4th inst. with the India and China mails, will convey £123,804 in specie. Notice has been given that the scrip of the Lau sanne and. Fribourg Railway Loan will be ex changed For bonds on and after the sth inst. The English Stoek Market to-day has shown further symptoms of uneasiness, Consols having receded to 93d a for transfer and the 7th inst., and Oat I for the 4th proximo. This continued heavi ness is attributable to sales for delivery as well as on speculation, and the retrograde movement is further promoted by the new loans and joint-stock companies. The New Threes have declined to i; the Reduced, to 93t- a ; Exchequer Bills remain at 265. to 275. prem.; India Five per Cent. Loan is 108 b. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a fair extent, although prices have in several instances shown increased heaviness. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 861 ; ditto, 1858, 741 75; ditto, New Scrip, to 3 prem.; Portuguese, to 46,1; Italian 15 per Cents., to 74 ; but Egyptian 7 per Cent. Scrip has further advanced to 15 and 16 pm. The Portuguese Loan is 3 premium, being rather flatter. It appears that the applications for allotments of the Peruvian Loan already represent double the required amount. The quotation is 1/ prem., and the list will close on Tuesday morning. The Venezuelan Loan is 21- 3 prem., and the Egyptian 2d issue, 9 to 10 prem. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been moderately active; prices, however, have Shown increased heaviness. Lancashire and York shire, and South-Easterns have declined ss. ; Eastern Counties, Great Northerns,Great Westerns, South Westerns, and Midlands 10s. ; Caledonians and North-Eastern (Berwick) 155.; and Brighton and London, Chatham, and Dover £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue in active, but without material alteration in values. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realise ; Great Luxembourg, 141 ; Grand Trunk of Canada have improved to 221 ; Bombay and Baroda declined to 101-1 ; Great Indian Peninsula realise 1021 103 ; and Eastern Bengal, 1034. Joint-St ock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show little. change. Union of Australia realise 45i ; Union of London 314 31-1 ; Alliance 'of London and Liverpool,. 13; and R e d S ea and In dia * Telegraph, 191. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of General Sir Thomas Willshire, Bart., G.C.8., of Hill House, Windsor Forest, Berks, was proved in London on the 26th ult. The executors and trustees nominated are Lady Willshire, the relict ; G, S. Maxwell, Esq., Trippenden, Kent, the brother-in-law; and Norman Cowley, Esq., Mon tagu-place. The personalty was swan under £25,000. General Willshire was Colonel of the 51st Foot, and served with distinction in India, and wore the Order of the Dooranee Empire. Sir Thomas attained to the age of 73, and is succeeded in the baronetcy and estates by his eldest son, a minor, in his twelfth year. The Colonel's will, which is of more than ordinary length, was exe cuted in January, 1860, with a codicil of the same date. Its dispositions are confined to the members of his family. To Lady Willshire, his relict, he leaves an immedate legacy of £l,OOO, his carriages, books, and furniture, an annuity of £2OO, and the use of his plate for her life ; the latter, upon her decease, to be held by his son succeeding to the baronetcy and to descend as heirlooms. He bequeaths to his eldest son his shares in the Bank of Bombay, also his Khelat sword and all his military decora tions. The General directs a sum of £20,000 to be set apart ; and, after paying the annuity to his relict and £lOO a year to his niece, a daughter of hia late brother, to divide the remainder in certain proportions amongst his daughters and younger son, leaving to the last named a larger portion, The will and codicil of the Rev. James Blencowe, formerly of Broughton, Oxford, afterwards of Pen grese, Cornwall, and late of Sidmouth, Devon, at which latter place he died May last, was proved in the London C our t b y the executors, Robert Blen cowe, Esq., of Hampstead, the brother of the testa tor, and the Rev. Marwood Tucker, M.A., of Knowles House, Clist, St. George, Devon. The personalty was sworn under £90,000. The will bears date Nov. 2, 1860, and the codicil Feb. 11 last. The documents are of very moderate dimen sions, and not expressed with technical formality. The bequests are pecuniary and numerous, and are bestowed upon personal friend s as we ll as upon the branches of a rather extensive family. T o the two sons and daughter of his executor, the Rev. M. Tucker, handsome legacies are bequeathed ; to the daughter, £B,OOO ; to the son, Marwood Tucker, £6,000, together with the testator's library and pictures ; and to the other son, Edmund B. Tucker, the residue of the personal estate. The testator has bequeathed to his brother, one of the executors, in addition to legacies by the will and codicil, a further sum of £3OO, and the like sum is also given to the other executor. It is gratifying to ob serve that the rev. gentleman has kindly considered his servants, and has bestowed legacies varying in amount upon all of them. To one servant the hand some sum of £BOO is bestowed, and another an an nuity has been granted, all payable free of duty. The following charities have been considered by the rev. testator, £lOO being lett to each, viz. : The Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, the Society for the Enlargement of the Incomes of Curates in Populous Places, and the Corporation of Sons of the Clergy, for the Relief of Poor Widows and Children of Clergymen. The will of Mark Robert Watt Ormsby, Esq., of Manchester-street, Manchester-square, was proved in London by his sister, Miss Anne Frances Watt Ormsby, the acting executrix. The testator, who , died in June last, had executed his will in 1851, which is very brief. It bequeaths the whole of his real and personal property, with the excep tion of a small annuity, to his sister. 8 10 8 7d IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS DAY.

Mr. Angel, for the plaintiff—Oh, certainly. Mr. Hunter, hand over what is required, you will have it back presently. (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—My dear sir, don't be over sanguine on that point. I shall have a word or two to say on that presently. - His Honour—Oh yes; certainly. There is no knowing which way the case may go, cases are sometimes critical. Mr. Buchanan—l am quite as sanguine as my friend. (Laughter.)

Defendant must pay, and he can sue the others. Mr. Angel applied for costs. Mr. Buchanan (to plaintiff)—You don't mean to say you came to London for this case. You came to see the Exhibition.

THE UNHAPPY COITPLE.—John Cherry, a tall brick maker, was brought before Mr. Selfe on a warrant charged with deserting his wife and leaving her chargeable to the Poplar Union. _L Mr. William B. Poster, relieving officer, said that the prisoner abandoned his wife and child on the 3d ult., and they had ever since been chargeable to the union. The guardians of the poor had expended 28s • in the mainte nance of the wife and child, had expended £1 in sending an officer to look after the prisoner at Drayford, where it was given out he was at work, and 2s. was paid for the warrant. Mr. Selfe—That amounts in all to £2 10e. Can you pay that, Cherry? The prisoner said he could not, and that he left his wife because there was no happiness at home. They were called the unhappy couple. ( A laugh.) His wife took off a piece of his nose with a knife one day. Look here, your worship, at my nose ? Mr. Selfe—l see it is not a complete one.

Mr. Safe—l can't make any conditions. I thiak, Mr. Foster, you had better let him go on his promise to pay the debt by instalments. Mr. Foster intimated that if the prisoner was discharged he would be immediately taken into custody again for a serious robbery he had committed in Kingsland on a man who took him home and gave him a lodging. Mr. Selfe—He is a bad fellow and a thief as well. I sen tence him to 14 days' impris onnaAnt and hard labour. THE HARVEST.—The Weather up to yesterday continued extremely fine 171 the eastern district, and on Monday the harvest will Le come More or less general in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. The beautiful weather which has prevailed during the last 10 days has greatly improved the appearance of the crops, which have been brot fight nearer up to an average yield. A letter from the Rochford hundred of Essex very fairly describes the situation. Th e writer says—'"The growing crop a of corn begin to ohs] tge colour h er e on the early lands, Ind will soon be cut. On some farms they are still of a de irk hue, as if mildew had taken place. There are many opinions about the wheat crop this year. Some parties h ey say t thi n k i t i s goo d, others that there will be a great deficiency i n the produce per acre, been al owing to defect in the ear from causes which have ready noticed before—viz.,. the unfavourable weathers hen the wheat was in blossom, and the cold, boisterous, and frosts/ eights which dial alas - dolled the spring,” .RALLWAY IN7ELLIGENCE.

SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. THAMES EIIfBA...VKMENT COMMISSION (SURREY SIDE), 1862. REPORT. TO TUT', QUEEN'S MOST E XCELLENT MATESTT We the undersigned members of n y k o . ur Majesty's Corn mission to examine plans for embanking the Surrey side of the River Thames, within the metropolis,ing and . to report 4, w hi c h o f the said plans of embankment in our opinion, conduce with the greatest efficiency and to the improvement, embellishment, and convenienc e of that part of the metropolis, improve the navigation of the river, and provide a public thoroughfare without Stoppi ng such trade as must be carried on upon th e b ank of the river, and also upon the cost and means of carrying the same into execution," beg to submit the followin g re marks : The nature of the inquiry entrusted to us was made known by advertisements in the newspapers, and twenty designs were submitted for consideration. A short descrip_ tion of each is appended. Ihe authors have attended given full explanations, and stated their respective views as will be seen in the evidence hereto annexed. We must here express our opinion of the excellence of many of the plans submitted to us ; and although we cannot recommend any one plan for adoption in its entirety as meeting all the requirements of the Case, yet the principal features of some of them are embodied in the plan we have the honour to suggest. Some of the plans comprise the whole length of the Sur rey shore from Deptford to Battersea. park ; and we have accordingly directed our inquiries to that extent. We propose to divide this district into three sections ; the first extending from Deptford to Westminster-bridge, the second from Westminster-bridge to Vauxhall-bridge, and the third from Vauxhall-bridge to Battersea-park. With respect to the first section, as the existing thorough • fares with the new street now being made between South wark and Blackfriars roads will, in our opinion, afford suffi ciently convenient and direct direct means of communica Lion for :he traffic,—and as the flooding of the low-lying districts could be obviated by a more efficient drainage— there does not appear to us any public necessity for an em bankment and roadway between Deptford and Westmin ster-bridge. The formation of such a roadway would in volve a vast expenditure of money, and cause a great dis turbance of the trade and commerce of that part of the metropolis. If, however, the owners and occupiers of such wharf property should, be desirous at any time of construct ing an embankment, which, whilst increasing their own accommodation, would ensure uniformity of design, and improve the navigation of the river, we are of opinion that every facility should be afforded them for so doing, although we are unable to recommend that the cost should be de frayed by the public. With respect to the second section, namely, from West minster-bridge to Vauxhall, we are of opinion, that a new and improved communication is necessary, and this, we think, may be effected by constructing an embankment and roadway between those points- The property adjacent to the river between Lambeth Church and Vauxhall-bridge is of an inferior character. The wharf walls are insufficient to keep out the water at high tides, hence many of the streets are at times flooded, causing distress and sickness to the inhabitants, who are for the most part of the poorer classes. Between Vauxhall. bridge and Battersea -park, which comprises the third section of our inquiry, an embanked roadway would afford access to the Battersea Station of the South Coast Railway, and to the Goods Station of the South-Western and Chatham and Dover Railways, would improve and embellish that part of the metropolis, and afford a convenient and agreeable approach to Battersea park from the densely populated districts of Lambeth and Southwark. We, therefore, humbly submit to your Majesty that an embanked roadway of about two miles should be formed between Westminster-bridge and Battersea-park, com mencing at the east abutment of 'Westminster-bridge, on a viaduct of an ornamental character opposite the Houses of Parliament, as far as Bishop's-walk; thence on a solid embankment to the north side of the London Gas Works continued upon Vauxhall-bridge as far as Nine Elms on a viaduct, and thence on a solid embankment, passing under the land arch of the railway bridge, and terminating at the approach road of the new suspension bridge at Battersea. The plan and section, which are append to this Report, show the direction and levels of the intended road, and the an angement:4 proposed for accom modating some of the occuiers of the most important of the water-side premise, ; and in suggesting viaducts we have endeavoured not to interfere, more than is absolutely neces sary, with the trades which must be carried en upon the banks of the river. The dredging of the foreshore in the front of the em bankment to a level of fivo feet below low water (particu larly at Lambeth and Nine Elms) improve the navigation, compensate to a great extent for the loss of tidal water dis placed by the solid portions of the embankment, and as the foreshore will be formed, under the viaduct of solid material, and on a suit able incline, it will tend to prevent accumula tions of mud, where the shores are flat or uneven. Communications with the embankment would be made at Stangate, by prolonging Palace New-road, and widen ing Bishop's-walk on the western side, Church-street, Broad-street, Vauxhall-row, High-street, Battersea-road near Nine Elms Goods Station, New Park-road, leading to Wandsworth, and the station of the London, Chatham,and Dover Railway Company. The estimated cost of this work, including land and compensation, is £1,100,000 ; but it is imortant to observe, that if the present favourable opportunity for carrying out this great work be not at once embraced, the cost will necessarily be much greater, by reason of the increasing demand for land and buildings for trade purposes in and near to the metropolis. This scheme would be a metropo litan improvement ; and with reference to the means by which the cost is to be defrayed, we consider that the coal and wine dues should be appropriated for such a further period as may be necessary for the purpose. All which we humbly report to your Majesty. Witness our hand and seals this 29th day of July, 1862, WILLIAM CUBITT. JOSHUA WEBB. DOUGLAS GALTON. EDWD. BURSTAL. HENRY A. HUNT. JOHN ROBINSON M'CLEAN.

Mr. Humphreys resumed the inquest this morning re specting the death of Stephen Roukiff, a seaman belonging to the Russian ship Odessa, lying in the Victoria Docks, alleged to have been murdered by an American, named Henry Brennan, one of the crew of the ship Fanny Fern, which has recently left the river for the United States. After the same evidence had been given which has already appeared in The Sun, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Henry Brennan. FOREIGN NAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE.

Although Brunel died at the comparatively early age of 53, it is even matter of surprise that he lived so long. He had mere perilous escapes from vio lent death than fall to the lot of most men. We have seen that at the outset of his career, when feting as assistant engineer to his father in the Thames tunnel, he had two n arrow escapes f ro m drowning by the river suddenly bursting in upon the works. Some time after, when inspecting the shafts of the railway tunnel under Box Hill, he was one day riding a shaggy pony at a rapid pace down the hill, when the animal stumbled and fell, pitching the engineer on his head with great vio lence; he was taken up for dead, but eventually recovered. When the Great Western line was finished and at work, he used frequently to ride upon the engine with the driver, and occasionally he drove it himself. One day, when pass ing through the Box Tunnel upon the engine at co ns id era bl e spee d, B rune l thou g ht h e discerned b e t ween h i m and the li g h t some o bj ect standing on the same lino of road along which his engine was travelling. Ho instantly turned on the full steam and dashed at the object which was r driven into a thousand pieces. It, afterwards b tu ro r k ne en d loouotsetforom a a ballasteenta be trainctor on 's awvh throughich ha d the tunnel. Au o th er narrow escape which he had was on board the G reat "Western steamship, where he fell down a hat c h way into the hold, and was nearly killed. But th e most extr aordinary acci dent which befel him was that which occurred while one day playing with his children. Like his father, Sir Marc, he was fond of astonishing them with sleight-of-hand tricks, in which he displayed considerable dexterity ; and the feat which he proposed to them on this occasion was the pass ing of a half sovereign through his mouth out at his ear. Unfortunately, he swal lowed the coin, which dropped into his windpipe . The accident occurred on April 3, 1843, and it was followed by frequent fits of coughing, and occasional uneasiness in the right side of the chest; but so slight was the disturbance of breathing that it was for some time doubted whether the coin had really fallen into the windpipe. After the lapse of 15 days, Sir B. Brodie met Mr. Key in consultation, and they concurred in the opinion that most probably the half sovereign was lodged at the bottom of the right bronchus. The day after, Mr. Brunel placed himself in a prone position on his face upon some chairs, and, bending his head end neck downwards, he distinctly felt the coin drop towards the glottis. A violent cough en sued, and on assuming the erect posture he felt as if the object again moved downwards into the chest. Here was an engineering difficulty, the like of which Mr. Brunel had never before encountered. The mischief was purely mechanical ; a foreign body had gone into his breathing apparatus, and must be removed, if at all, by some mechanical expedient. Mr. Brunel, however, was equal to the occasion. He had an apparatus constructed, con sisting of a platform which moved upon a hinge in the centre. Upon this he had himself strapped, and his body was then inverted in order that the coin might drop downward by its own weight, and so be expelled. At the first experiment the coin again slipped towards the glottis; but it caused such an alarming fit of convulsive coughing and appearance of choking that danger was apprehended, and the experiment was discontinued. Two days after, on the 25th, the operation of tracheotomy was performed by Sir Benjamin Brodie, assisted by Mr. Key, with the intention of extracting the coin by the forceps, if possible. Two attempts to do so were made without success. The troduction of the forceps into the windpipe on the second occasion was attended with so excessive a degree of irritation that it was felt the experiment could not be continued without imminent danger to life. The incision in the windpipe was, how ever, kept open by means of a quill or tube, until the 13th of May, by which time Mr Brunel's strength had sufficiently recovered to enable the original experiment to be repeated. He was again strapped to his apparatus ; his body was inverted ; his back was struck gently ; and he distinctly felt the coin quit its place on the right side of the chest. The opening in the windpipe allowed him to breathe while the throat was stopped by the coin, and it thus had the effect of preventing the spasmodic action of the glottis. After a few coughs the coin dropped into his mouth. Mr. Brunel used afterwards to say that the moment when he heard the gold piece strike against his upper front teeth was perhaps the most exquisite in his whole life. The half-sovereign had b een i n his windpipe for not less than six weeks.-4 , The Brands," in the Quarterly Review. MARKETS---THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.
