KET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. There were no bullion operations at the Bank to-day. The wheat market to-day was dull. It appears from the New York telegrams to-day that the exchange has fallen to 125, and the pre nai mum on gold to 121 per cent. At the ensuing general meeting of the Ottoman Bank shareholders, on the 10th of next month, the directors will propose a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, for the half-year, and an addition of £15,000 to the reserve fund, making this last up to £93,000. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this w ee k an i ncrease o f £8,999, and the London and South Western an increase of £4,891. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the Bth instant were £9,266 sterling, being £2,212 more than for the corresponding week of last year. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 6885, and c;osed at 68.95, both for money and the account, being about the same as yesterday. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change in the general appearance of the Discount Market, and the minimum of the Bank of England remains at 2 per cent. The id ea was entertained in some quarters that an advance . to the extent of 2 per cent. would have been announced, but the authorities have not found it necessary to make any alteration. Although the demand for money has recently increased, it is understood that ,a large number of bills has run off, and the stock , of other securities is consequently presumed not to have undergone any great augmentation. The Tagus from the Pehinsula has brought Li ,000 in specie. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire however, show a decrease of £5,968; the North Eastern of £998 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £726. The appointment of a settling day in the Vene zuelan Scrip has been deferred until the tbrmal ratification of the loan has been received by the contractors. Notice has been given that the Scrip Certificates of the Peruvian Loan and Consolidation of 1862 will be ready for delivery in exchange for the allot ment letters and deposit receipts on and after the 26th inst. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed the 26th inst. a special settling day in the shares of the Ceylon Company, and also of the Zep litz Colliery Company. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market is firm, but the ex citement is abated. Sales probably 6,000 bales. The market for Public Securities is dull and languid, owing to the contraction of business, bona *de and speculative. The fineness of the weather, however, combined with the easiness of money and other favourable considerations, gives support to quotations, and the speculators, if disinclined to purchase, are evidently not disposed to enter largely into engagements for a contrary movement. Con sols have been 93, 1 ; for money, and 934 ; for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are marked 934- e ; the 30 years Annuities, 15} and the Red Sea Telegraph, 21; ; India 5 per Cent. Stock is 1088 9, being firm; and the 5i per Cent, Enfaced, 114 ; Exchequer Bills continue steady at 20s. to 21s. prem. ; and India Bonds at 265. to 28s. plena. Foreign Securities, generally, have been well supported, and a fair amount of business has been negotiated. Turkiah 6 per Cents., 1854, are firm at 86 87; ditto, 1858, 74 72; ditto New Loan Scrip, 14 to Of die. ; but the Internal 6 per Cents., after being 35i, have declined to 34 I ; Egyptian paid-up Scrip has riser. to 951- and 96k; and ditto, 2d issue, is steady at 106 11 prem.; Mexican are flat at. 284 29; - Russian 5 per Cents, realised 97, the paid-up Scrip 93f 6; the Portuguese Loan is 2 prem ; and Italian 5 per Cents. have receded to 691. The New Peruvian Loan is 4 1 prem., and the Vene zuelan par a prem. In the Railway Share Market business has con tinued dull, and prices have not varied to any im portant extent. South Eastern and Great Eastern have declined about 55., and North British, 108.1 Great Western and Midland, however, have im prov ed ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in fair request. Antwerp and Rotterdam have improved to 71 and Recife and San Francisco, to 172 18 ; Grand Trunk of Canada are firm at 201, and Great Western of Canada have improved to 121; Great Indian Peninsula realise 102-1. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are, in some instances, rather firmer.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) MURDER. Henry Brennan, a sailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of Stephen Hossoroukoff. It will be recollected that a quarrel took place amongst some American and Russian sailors, in front of a beer-shop near the Victoria Docks, and that the deceased, who was a Russiari, died in consequence of injuries he received from the hands of the prisoner, an American. Mr. Sleigh made a very powerful address for the accused, contending that the charge against the prisoner only amounted to manslaughter. At 25 minutes after five the jury returned into court, after an absence of four hours, and found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The learned judge sentcnced the prisoner to penal servi• `ud for 20 years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) SENDING DISEASED MEAT TO MARKET. William Neville, butcher, who had been found guilty of unlawfully sending to Newgate-market 5001 b. weight of beef for sale, well knowing the same to be unwholesome and unfit for human food, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Justice Blackburn mid the offence of which the pri soner had been found guilty was a very serious one, and it had been thought that a short term of imprisonment would have the effect of putting an end to the practice, but he found it wa.4 not so. It was now proposed to try another mode of punishment; and the sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned for three months, and further, that he be fined 150, and detained in custody until the money was paid. FORGERY. Francis Stephen Simpson, 31, wine merchant, was in. dieted for forgery. The prisoner, it appeared, improperly obtained a cheque for the payment of a certain amount of money, and he forged the name of Mr. Mather to it. The jury found him guilty. A former conviction for forgery was then proved against the prisoner, for which he was sentenced to 10 penal servitude. mr. Justice Blackburn sentenced him for the offence of which he had just been found guilty to 20 years' penal servitude. EhmEzzLEMENT.—Frank Timewell, clerk, was indicted for embezzling and stealing various sums of money from his employers, Messrs. Hill, tailors, of New Bond-street. The Jury found him guilty, but recommended him to mercy. Mr. Giffard, who prosecuted, said, up to the present time, the Messrs. Hill had discovered embezzlements amounting to upwards of £9OO. Mr. Justice Blackburn said, that being the fact, the re commendation to mercy had been agreed to while the jury were in ignorance of that circumstance. He then dwelt upon the seriousness of the offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty, and said he should not be doing his duty if he passed a light punishment. He then sentenced the prisoner to bo kept in penal servitude for 10 years. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY. Thomas Ryan was found guilty of a burglary in the dwelling-house of Abraham Grant, and stealing therefrom a watch and other property. The prisoner was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. John M'Alahon was found guilty of a burglary in th e dwelling-house of John Watts, an d stealing therefrom. He was sentenced to 10 sears' penal servitude. John Brown was found guilty of a burglary in the house of George Hillslesd, in the county of Surrey. Two former convictions were proved against him, and the judge sentenced him to 10 years'penal servitude. MURDER AND A 7 TEMPTED SUICIDE IN ITIE CITY-ROAD. ADJOURNED INQUEST THIS DAY. This morning Mr. Join Humphreys, coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, resumed the inquiry at the Queen's Head Tavern, Piffleld-street, Roston, into the cause of death of Charles Cook, aged 15 months, the infant son of Mark and Adelaide Cole, of 18, Brunswick-place, City road, who, it was alleged, was murdered by its mother, Adelaide Coole, on the afternoon of the 7th August last, by cutting its throat, and who afterwards attempted her own life by cutting her throat. The circumstances attenling this melancholy occurrence, following so closely upon end in part resembling that of the unfortunate Mrs. Vyse, has recently appeared in the examination at the prelious inquest. All the m,terial and necessary legal facts have been detailed in evidence, and the inquiry was ad;outmed to this morning, in order that Mrs. Co‘,le, who had been permitted under the advice of her medical attendant, owing to her dangerous state from the nature of the injuries she inflicted upon herself, to re main in the custody of the police, might attend and hear the evidence that had keen adduced against her, but on the reassembling of the jury it turned out that . Mrs. Coole was to be taken this morning before the police magistrate at Worship-street, the Secretary of State having authorised her appearance before the inquest after the examination if necessary. Mr. Thomas Wm. Rogers, jun., solicitor, of 70, Fen church-street, City, at.endad on the part of Mrs. Coole, The Coroner asked 1 there was any further evidence ? Waller, the sunirooling officer, said he had none. Dr. Rogers, of 117, the medical attendant of Mrs. Coole, in answer to the Coroner, said that his patient was so far recovered as to be enabled to attend the idquiry this morn ing. The Coroner then, in addressing the jury, said that in the ordinary course a lA - ismer would be, in the first instance, taken before the magicrates, and it would be for their con sideration whether it asculd be worth while to adjourn the inquiry for the purpose of having the prisoner present, or whether it would net be more convenient to come to a deci sion upon the evidence before them, as it was generally ad visalle, and in many cams almost necessary, that the person accused should bo present to hear the evidence, as there might be important questions which would require explana tion, and the accused ought to have the opportunity of ask ing the witnesses any quastion that the solicitor might think necessary, at the same time, he thought in the present case there could be no ,ossible difficulty, it was clear that the deceased Charles Coole. died from the wounds in the throat, and it was equally clear that those wounds were inflicted by the accused, Mrs. Cools. He should therefore ask the jury to say whether they were disposed to determine the case, or whether they would adjourn, if they did so, he would undertake the prisoner should be forthcoming. The jury intimated they thought it would be unnecessary to adjourn, but one of them wanted to deal with the ques tion of insanity. The Coroner said the jury had nothing to do with the question of insanity, ali they had to do was to ascertain the oause of death, and who caused that death, and in the pre et nt case the evidence was sufficiently clear on both points. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against A.dolaide Coole. The Coroner then made out his warrant for her com mittal to Newgate, and handed it to Waller, the offioer, to be lodged as a detainer against her. At a later period of the day the unfortunate lady was conveyed in a cab from her residence in Brunswick-place in custody of the police, and accompanied by Dr. Rogers, to the Worship• street police-oilice, and was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of her infant son, Charles Coole. The evidence adduced was merely a recapitulation of that taken before the coroner, and already reported in The Sun. SHIPPING--THIS DAY. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRA.PII.) GRAVESEND, Thursday Morning.

THE ALLEGED WIDER AT EDINBURGH...— Several witnesses, relatives and neighbours of the deceased woman Charles, whose husband is in custody on the charge of murdering her, were yesterday examined by the Pro curator- Fiscal. The resu:t of the p recogn i tion, and o f t h e post mortem examination, will not be m a d e p u bli c u ntil the trial, but we u n derstand it is in evid ence that at t h e time of her death Mrs. Charles was labouring under a mortal disease; and the pr2sumpticn is that her death was caused more by the excitement induced by her husband's dis orderly behaviour than by any act ua l v i o l e nce he had offered to her,—Scot. gran, POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—STEALING BILLS OF EXCHANGE.—Mr. George Piercy, of the firm of Brodie and Piercy, military tailors, of 10, Princes-street, Hanover-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two bills of exchange for £27 18s., the property of Mr. Alexander Brodie, his partner. Mr. Evans, of John-street, Bedford-row, prosecuted, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the defence. Mr. Evans, in opening the case, said he appeared to prosecute the prisoner for stealing two bills of exchange from his partner, Mr. Alexander Brodie, the prisoner being junior partner. He should not be able to complete the case that day, an important witness not being present. Mr. Brodie said—The prisoner has recently joined me in partnership. I placed twc, bills of exchange, for £l6 138.4 d. and £ll 55., in my despatch box two months ago. The bills were my private property. I have a clerk of the name of Dyer. I gave the despatch box to him, the two bills being in the box at the time. At the beginning of last week my clerk told me the bills were gone. I made in quiries, and find that they are now in the possession of a Mr. Harris. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—They are overdue now. By Mr. Lewis—Prisonerjoined me on the 18th or 19th of May, and had the management of the cash account. I first ascertained the prisoner had disposed of the bills by Mr. Dyer telling me at the beginning of the week. I heard afterwards they were gone, when I met Mr. Harris. They were taken to my solicitor's. I mentioned the circum stance to the prisoner, telling him that if I did not get the bills back I would prosecute him. He did not say he had disposed of the bills to get money to pay wages. There is no shortness of money. I had an action at the time at the assizes. There was no money at the bank. I paid no more money into my banker, being afraid of the prisoner drawing it out. My banker had not refused to discount bills for me ; because there was no cash there. On seeing Mr. Harris he refused to tell me how much the prisoner owed him, but afterwards at my lawyer's I found he owed him £6O, and that he had taken my private bills to pay him. I never applied to Mr. Harris to wale a froth advance on the bills--never. My despatch box was locked, and my clerk had the key. I did not plane the bills in the prisoner'S hands to get discounted. Re-examined—l am a man of property, and can draw a cheque for £4,000 at once if I like. I did not like my part ner, and therefore refused to pay any more money into my banker's. I had no idea the bills were taken away till in- formed by my clerk. Mr. Montague Dyer, clerk to Mr. Brodie—l received the despatch-box for Mr. Brodie, and in it were two bills of exchange. Mr. Brodie gave me the key. Mr. Piercy said he wanted some note paper, and asked for the key several times. After he had had it the last time I missed the two bills, and on asking him for them he said "Oh it's all right, I've got them." I told him that I wished them in the despatch-box, as they were Mr. Brodie's private property, and he replied, " I know that, they are all right." I have not seen them since that day. I communicated the circum stance to Mr. Brodie on Thursday or Friday last. By Mr. Lewis—Prisoner did not say he had placed them in the hands of Mr. Harris. I never heard the firm was short of money at all, but there was not plenty at the banker's. I never went to the banker's to discount bills — never. I never heard from Mr. Brodie that the bankers had refused to discount his bills. Mr. Evans —That is all the evidence I can lay before you to-day. I must therefore ask for a remand for the attend ance of Mr. Harris. Mr. Lewis asked that bail might be taken. He could find bail to any amount. _ _ _ Mr. Tyrwhiit peremptorily refased, and remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. A COUNTRY FORESTER IN LONDON.—John Austin, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. He was found in a speechless state of intoxication at seven last evening in the Brompton-road, and carried-to the police station. Mr. Arnold, observing a large silver star upon defen dant's breast, inquired what it meant. Inspector Butler of the B division—Defendant is a Forester, and went to the fete at the Crystal Palace. Mr. Arnold—That was the day before yesterday, was it not ? Inspector Butler—Yes; he got drunk there, and has been drunk ever since. Mr. Arnold --He must have got drunk, indeed. Inspector Butler—He says that the last thing he remem bers before this morning, is seeing Blondin upon the rope at the Crystal Palace. Mr. Arnold—How did he get from the Crystal Palace to London ? Inspector Butler—He does not know. Defendant—l think I must have had a cabriolet. Mr. Arnold—ls it true that you got so drunk as not to remember any thing from Tuesday afternoon until this morning. Defendant—That I don't, sir. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to the charge of being found drunk and incapable last night. Defendant—T can't say anything except that lam a stranger in London. Mr. Arnold—Where do you come from ? Defendant—l come from Leeds, and if I get out of this I'll make down home again as soon as I can. Mr. Arnold —When did you come to London ? Defendant —On Sunday morning. Mr. Arnold —Have you lost your money ? Defendant—Well, it's nearly all gone. Mr. Arnold—Have you lost it ? Defendant —.No ; I think I spent it. He was fined ls. and discharged. MARKETS---Tl] /S DAY. MARK LANE. - • !Mt ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—We can affirm (says the Pays) that the harvest of 1562 will reckon among the best of those of the last 10 years, and we may add that we shall not this year be compelled to have recourse to any corn from a broad for the supply of our markets. ImpitoVEMENTS OF DISTRICT POST-OFFICES.— In conFequence of the difficulty which persons sometimes have, and particularly persons from the country, in finding out a post-poffice at night, the Superintendent of the Cir culation Department of the General Post Office has, by direction of the Pos tmaster.Generah communicated with the various vestries Within the metropolitan districts to carry cut his views. The plan is to have two panes of ground glass affixed on the lamp nearest each receiving house with the wolds "Post-office' on them, which it is thought will render these establishments more conspicuous. There is no doubt but that the parochial authorities will comply with the request. 93} xd xd 241 51 256 41 5, 66 51 I 1071 6 2 14 xd 1204 20 45 w 64 6 100 99/ xd 81 130 291 ' ' (II! 1 60} 28 2 6.13.4, 1111 113 9) 92 112 114 11l 113 129 131 118. 120 112 114 105 107 108 110 98 100 1(0 102 90 92 91 93 102 104 78 80 78 80 173 176 105 107 (36 139 103 105 115 117 115 117 136 190 115 117 152 157 .28 112 78 80 102 101 21 2; 122 124 fr R e 4 437 ft).

QUEENSTOWN, TUESDAY MORNING.—The Inman steamer Edinburgh, being an extra vessel on the line, arrived off the harbour this morning with New York and other papers of the 7th inst., the latest yet at hand, the Asia having called only at Halifax and Boston. An immense Union meeting was held at New York on the 7th, at which President LINCOLN delivered the following speech :—Fellow Citizens—l believe there is no precedent for my appearing before you on this occasion—(applause)—but it is true that there is no precedent for you being here yourselves—(ap plause and laughter)—and I offer in justification ; of myself and of you that, upon examination, I I have found nothing in the constitution against it. (Renewed applause.) I, however, have an impression that there are younger gentle men who will entertain you better—(" No, no; none can do better than yourself, ga on") —and better address your understanding than I will or could, and therefore I propose to detain you but a moment longer. (Cries of'' Go on ! Tar and feather the rebels I") lam very little inclined on any occasion to say anything unless I hope to pro duce some good by it. (A Voice—" You do that. Go on.") The only thing I think of just now not likely to be better said by some one else is a matter in which we have heard some other persons blamed for what I did myself. (A Voice—" What is it ?") There has been a very widespread attempt to have a quarrel between General M'Clellan and the Se cretary of War. Now, I occupy a position that enables me to believe at least these two gentle men are not nearly so deep in the quarrel as some presuming to be their friends. (Cries of " Good.") General M'Clellan's attitude is such that in the very selfishness of his nature he cannot hut wish to be successful--and 1 hope he will, and the Secretary of War is precisely in the same situation. If the military commander in the field cannot be successful, not only the Secretary of War, but my self, for the time being the master of them both, cannot be but failures. (Laughter and applause.) I know General M'Clellan wishes to be successful, and I know that he does not wish it any more than the Secretary of War from him, and both of them together no more than I wish it—(applause, and cries of " good"). Sometimes we have a dis pute about how many General M'Clellan has had, and those who would disparage him say he has had a very large number, and those who would dis parage the Secretary of War insist that General M'Clellan has had a very small number. The basis for this is, there is always a wider difference, and, on this occasion, perhaps a wide ong. between the grand total on M'Clellan's rolls and the men actually fit for duty ; and those wh o would disparage him talk of the grand total on paper, and those who would disparage the Secre tart' of War talk of those at present fit for duty, General M'Clellan has sometimes asked for things that the Secretary of War did not give him. Gen. M'Clellan is not to blame for asking for what he wanted and needed, and the Secretary of War is not to blame for not giving when he had none to give, (Applause, laughter, and cries of " Goo 3, good.' - _ And I say here, so far as I know, the Secretary of War has withheld no one thing at any time in my power to give him. (Wild applause, and a voice— " Give him enough now !") I have no accusation against him. I believe he is a brave and able man —(applause)—and I stand here, as justice requires me to do, to take upon myself what has been charged on the Secretary of War as withholding from him. I have talked longer than I expected to do—(cries of ‘'No, no ;" " go on ")—and now I avail myself of the privilege of saying no more. WITHERNSEA NEW LIFEBOA7 . A large and Brie new lifeboat, mounted on her transporting carriage, was forwarded yesterday by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution to Withern sea, near Hull, a dangerous point on the Yorkshire coast. The boat is 34 feet long, 7 feet wide, and rows six oars single-banked, or 12 oars double banked. Her self-righting qualities were fully and satisfactorily tested on Saturday last, in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse. The water she shipped was self-ejected in 20 seconds. The boat was built by the Messrs. Forrest, of Liatehouse. The transporting carriage of the boat, which was built by Mr. J. Robinson, of Kentish Town, was also tried on the occasion, and was found to answer admirably. By an ingenious contrivance the boat, with her crew on board, is launched off the carriage. With their oars in hand they are thus enabled to obtain headway before the breakers have time to beat the boat broadside on the beach. The hauling up of the boat on her carriage is ac complished with equal facility. A commodious and substantial house has been built, from a design furnished by C. H. Cooke, Esq., honorary archi tect to the society, for the reception of the lifeboat, her stores, and carriages. The cost 0300) of the lifeboat and carriage was presented to the insti tion by Miss Lechmere, a benevolent lady resident in Worcestershire. Richard Champneys, jun., Esq., the chairman of the branch, has rendered the in stitution valuable assistance in establishing this lifeboat station. A grand demonstration is to take place at Withernsea on Monday, the 25th inst., to inaugurate this important and benevolent gift to the town. The National Lifeboat Institution has now 122 lifeboats in connection with it. Of these nine are stationed on the Yorkshire coast—namely, at Mid dlesborough, Redcar, Ssltburn, Whitby, Sear borough, Filey, Bridlington, Hornsea, and Withern sea. The following also is a list of the lives saved during the past two years and a half from various wrecked vessels belonging to our north and east ports, viz. ;—Lugger Saucy Lass, of Lowestoft, 11; smack Adventure, of Harwich, 10; pilot cutter Whim, of Lowestoft, 7 ; brig Lively, of Clay, Norfolk, 5 ; barque Robert - Watson, of Sunder land, 5; brig Zephyr, of Whitby, 6; coble Hon our, of Cullercoats, 3; schooner Eliza, of North Shields, 7; sloop Charlotte, of Woodbridge , 5 ; brig Ann, of Blyth, 8; a fishing-boat of Will!" burn, 4 ; brig Areth'isa, of Blytb, 8 ; brig. Flying Fish, of Whitby, 5 ; schooner Fly, of Whitby—saved vessel and crew, 4; schooner Rose, of Lynn, 3; brig Proclroma, of Stockton, 11 ; brig Vonte . nt, of Sun- Eliza, of Middleborough, brig derland, 5; schooner Prospect, of Berwick, ; brig Scotia, of Sunderland, 6; br i g Gloucester, of So uth Shields, 7; brig Roman Empress, of Shields, 10 ; brig Mayflower, of Newcastle, 8; barque Druid, of Sunderland, 9; W s chooner Princess Ali ce, of aa Ipswich, 5; brig Sisters, B of barque hitb N y i , g 9 ; brig Providence, of Providence, of Shields, Shields, 11; barque Perseverance, of Scarborough, John Bull, of Yarmouth, 5 ; brig Ja ne, of ; smack of North Shields, 8 ; brig Lovely Nelly, of Senham, 6; brig Pallas, of Shields, 3; sloop Three Brothers, of Goole ; 5; and schooner Friends, of Lynn, 4. Altogether upwards of 700 lives have been rescued during the same period from a watery grave by lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Insti tution. As each life boat requires about .£4O a year to keep it in repair and ready for instantaneous service, it is evident that a large sum is required by the institution to enable it to maintain in a state of efficiency our numerous lifeboat establishments, and that the good and sacred work in which it is so actively engaged can only be perpetuated by the continued support of the public at large. THE ISLEWORTH MURDER.—No clue has yet been obtained to the place of concealment of the man Cope land, who is charged with the murder of Anne Barnham, at Isleworth, on the evening of Thursday, the 7th inst. Robinson and Thomas, two experienced detectives, assisted by Inspector Rigarlsford, of the Brentford division, have been to Petersfield and other places where it is known Cope land was in the habit of visiting, but no satisfactory infor mation can be obtained. It is conjectured by some that having been seen by so few people after the committal of the murder, and his person being so well known i n the Thames, which is close by, he may have thrown himse lf into the ne i g hbourhood, NEW ACT ON BURIAL BOARDS.—Acoording to an ac t passed on the day of the prorogation, t he Improvement Commissioners acting as burial boards are empowered to mortgage improvement rates and burial rates for the fur pont of the burial RC* THIRD EDITIO: SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Aug. 21, 1862. RUMOU.RED MURDER. This afternoon a rumour prevailed that a murder had been committed in the metropolis. It was founded on the fact that yesterday, in Castle-street, Long-acre, the police found a bag containing a man's cotton shirt, linen front and wristbands, marked A. G. W., the neck, shoulder of left arm, right side and sleeves covered with blood, both sleeves cut up the shoulder, and a por tion of the right side missing ; also cat from the tail to the breast, nearly new. The collar band had been lengthened with a piece of tape, the shirt has been worn with studs and sleeve-links. A lamb's wool under shirt, marked J. T. W., 12.58, a portion of the breast bei lg apparently burnt missing, and both sleeves cut open. A flock pillow saturated with blood and a small white cotton handkerchief stained with bicod wrapped in a portion of the News of the World of the 10th. A BEAUTY "MARRYING RICH." The Paris correspondent of the .21Ioiitreal Herald thus describes the marriage of a beautiful but penniless girl of sixteen to one of the richest of the stockbroking nabobs of the Parisian Bourse, aged eighty :—" The octogenarian bridegroom, with that love of theatrical effect so strong in the French heart, laid it down as an indispensable condition of the alliance, that the young lady should wear, during the performance of the ceremony, a simple dress of white tarle- Sane over a muslin petticoat, and no other ornament of any sort or kind than the wreath of orange blossoms and white veil, without which no French woman, from the ragpickeT to the duchess, would ever believe herself legally married. The pretty bride consented to the simple gown of tarle tane, but begged with tears to be allowed to wear it over a. white silk skirt. The mother, sisters, aunts and couzins, ill joined their entreaties to those of the damsel, and tears failed to soften his decision. He had caused a trousseau, fit for a princess, to be prepared ;for his youthful bride, and had purchased for her a magnificent assortment. But he was detetmined to produce the stage effect he ,had contrived, and to figure a King Cophetua, raising a beggar girl to the height of his royal dignity, by causing his bride to be seen at the mairie and the church in the very modest toilet he had prescribed as an indication of the poverty out of which he was to lift her, and displaying her, at the banquet and ball which were to take place immediately on the conclusion of the double ceremony, in a marvellous robe of the costliest lace worn over an underskirt of the richest satin, covered with diamonds valued at about eighty thousand dollars, and all the accessories of her toilet in corre sponding style. The old fellow carried out his vainglori ous programme to the letter. T he crowd o f spectators Ythouenog occasion attracted to the ceremony by the enorm ous wealth of and thee arrayed beaut• f o f t o h r e twhboo,aigtev,d,asbri supposed,degroom would be with a degree o f splendour in keeping with the wealth of the former. were dreadfully disappointed at the ex cessive simplicity of her attire, and the humble toilet of her relatives, and were both scandalised at the shabbi ness o f the stock-broker's behaviour and indignant at find i ng themselves thus defrauded of one of those gra tuitous spectacles whi c h P arisians consider as equally their right and delight. However, as some scores of invited guests sat d own to the banquet in the splendid hotel which the sto c k b roker had fitted up as the scene of his matrimonial felicity, and some thousands of guests had been invited t o t h e b all, the post-nuptial transfor mation of the beggar -girl into the queen was speedily bruited through Paris ' • and the laugh excited at the whimsical v an it y of the n urse-proud bridegroom has con.* a good way towards consoling the sight-loving public for the disappointment created by the want of splendour at the wedding. SUICIDE OF MR. MORELL, OF PICCADILLY.—On Monday afternoon some persons in the neighbourhood of Keith, a little town between 40 and 50 miles north of Aber deen were surprised at seeing a strange gentleman proceed somewhat hurriedly towards the Lynn, a favourite water fall in the vicinity, and having reached its edge and partly undressed himself, walk into the water of the Isla and immediately plunge headlong through a cutting of the rocks into a deep shelving pool below. Instant measures were taken by the person who observed the act to rescue the stranger, but as he had sunk almost imme di a tely on reach ing the water, all their efforts were vain , and it was not till some time after that the unfortunate man's bcdy was dis - covered. It was carried to the parish c hurch, and on search being made in the pockets of the clothing a card was fo und with the ad f rees " Mr. Henry More ll, Piccadilly, and 2, wTashef deceased in ed th i e s Lansdown Villa, Forest-hill;" also a . w i hi tia te ls c , a , m u bric hand kerchief, bearing in red letters the initials hi . , .

An apparatus was established at the head ( quarters, and a vehicle also containing an apparatus fol lowed the Marshal to the ground provided with telegraphia wires communicating With the other. The Marshal was thus enabled to telegraph instantaneously to his head quarters. The vehicle employed could have readily con veyed wire enough to keep up a communication from a dis tance of 18 miles. Count de Vougy, Director-General of Telegraphs,' was present at the experiment, the results of which were considered most satisfactory In the new West India mail contract, the mail packet station will be Antigua, instead of St. Thomas, ae At* Dresent.
