MON CITY NEWS—SATURDAY. Messrs. Heywood and Co., the bankers for new Peruvian Loan, have given notice that "no application for the loan will be entertained from those who are not holders of the present bonds if received after 11 o'clock on Tuesday next." The Ottoman Bank have received advices from Constantinople that a further sum in various de scriptions of Turkish currency has been paid up to the 23d July into their branch at that city, by the Syndicate of the Turkish Loan of 1858, more than sufficient to cover the balance of £40,000 required for the dividend due on the Ist of next month.. It is also announced by telegraph that this amount is in course of transmission to London. Italian Five per Cents. were not much affected by the threatened movements of Garibaldi, the im pression being that at no time could any attempt at aggression or outbreak be less likely to succeed, or to throw back the graemal consolidation of the Italian kingdom by involving the European powers in war. The subscription list for the Buenos Ayres Rail way was closed to-day, and the applications were mom than double the amount required. The steamer Ceylon, on the 4th inst., will take out the following specie, viz,, £2,662 for India, £107,692 for China and the Straits, £13,300 for Alexandria, and £l9O for Ceylon; the total being £123.804, of which £107,732 is silver, and £16,072 gold. The tendency of prices in the Liverpool cotton market to-day was again upwards. The intelligence from New Granada by this week's mail is very satisfactory as evincing the de cided consolidation of the power of Mosquera's government, which was gaining the good opinion of all classes. The half-yearly meeting of the General Steam Navigation Company is called for the 26th inst. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. During the past week the progress of business in the textile marufacturing districts was again satis factory. At Manchester a fair amount of business 'as transacted in cloths and yarns for the India and China markets at fully previous rates. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field continued moderately active, owing to opera tions for the autumn and winter demands. In the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham there has been a seasonable inquiry for most description of goods, and the future prospects of trade are considered encouraging. Business at 'Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, and ae-veral of the hardware districts, however, remained Inactive, owing to the absence of foreign orders and the diminished inquiry for home use. The Europa, from America, has brought £20,681, and the Marco Polo, from Port Phillip, £43,420, in specie. The royal mail steamer Magdalena has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils, with £1,339. The attention of the members of the Stock Ex change, and also of the investing and speculative clvsses, is still directed to the foreign loans and otb er projects recently introduced. Numerous trausactions are reported in the former, and sub scribers are now anxiously looking forward to the allotment. The Portuguese has been issued, and the price is 3 prem. The Peruvian and Vene zuelan remain steady, with rather an upward ten dency. The commercial engagements of the 4th of the month having now been provided for, the demand for money has slackened, and the rates for first class bills show greater easiness, being 1A g per cent. The consequence is an extremely limited inquiry at the Bank of England. There appears to be no diminution in the available supplies among th® joint-stock and private establishments, and competition being exceedingly active unusual faci lities are offered the mercantile community.

The trade, however, ruled inactive; nevertheless, prices, generally speaking, were supported. Barley, oats, beans, and peas moved off somewhat freely, at extreme rates. Flour was in fair request, on former terms. On the Continent, the corn trade has continued steady, at full quotations. At New York, both wheat and flour have been in demand, on Engli s h accoun t, at full prices. Very small su ppli es of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 25,013 quarters of wheat ; 7,534 barley ; 48,331 oats ; 1,300 bea ns; 884 peas : 208 linseed ; 3,607 rapeseed ; 470 maize; 1,805 sundry seeds; 205 sacks, and 31,332 brls of flour.

The trade, however, for all qualities ruled inactive, nevertheless last Monday's currency was fairly supported. We learn this morning that wheat cutting in the South of England and in Essex is not yet in a forward state, but that it will probably be towards the close of the present or the beginning of next week before harvest ope rations are general in those / arts. There was a tolerably extensive show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine qualities were in fair request at full prices, otherwise the trade Was dull, and in some instances low American and Russian qualities were obtainable at slightly reduced rates. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, on former terms. 1858.

New produce, in but middling conditipn, sold at from 36s to 38s per quarter. Foreign, of which there was a moderate supply, moved off steadily, at full currencies. On the whole the malt trade was steady, at full prices. There was an increased show of foreign oats on offer. Good and fine parcels we in demand, at extreme rates. For inferior qualities, however, the inquiry was somewhat less active, yet their value was maintained. Beans were in very small supply, and all qualities sold readily at fully previous rates. A sample of new grey peas was on offer, which was held at 40s per quarter. The pea, though small, was hard, and of useful quality. The best descriptions of flour changed hands to a fair average extent, at full currencies. Inferior qualities met a slow sale, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the demand for it ruled heavy on rather lower terms. Amongst it were some very good British beasts. The arrivals 'of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts was very large even for the time of year, and the general quality of each breed was tolerably good. The beef trade was in a depressed state at a decline in the quo tations of 2d per 81bs, the top figure being 4s 6d, and a clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,500 short horns ; from other parts of England, 1,000 various breeds; from Scotland, 150 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 520 oxen a n d heifers. With sheep were well supplied, but their general quality was by no means first .rate. Downs and half-breds moved off steadily at full prices. Otherwise, the !mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barley late currencies. The highest price was 5s 2d per Ms. The show of lambs was moderately extensive. Prime breeds commanded quite as much money as of late; but in ferior lambs were a dull inquiry on former terms. The quotations ranged from 5s to 6s 4d per 81bs. No change took place in the value of calves, and the veal trade was far from active. Pigs changed hands slowly; nevertheless, prices were supported. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1862. 1859.

In the prisoner's possession were also found about 70 duplicates, all relating to jewellery of the value of, it is said, about £3OO. Sergeant Winters, 8 C, said that on Saturday afternoon ho was called to a pawnbroker's (Mr. Luarnoore's) in St. Martin's-lane, and told that the prisoner had offered some jewellery in pledge, and on being asked some questions re specting them he ran away, but was brought back again by an assistant, to whom he said they could do what they liked with him. On questions being put to the prisoner in French he said the articles were his own, and that about 18 days before he had pledged some other articles at the same shop. In the prisoner's possession he found some dupli cates relating to jewellery and a gold watch and chain. The prisoner gave the address No. 8, Yeoman-road, Brampton, which he (the sergeant) found to be correct. Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoner in French. Inspector Silverton said he went to 8, Yeoman-road, on Saturday evening, and in the prisoner's room found 60 duplicates all relating to jewellery, and some of the articles were pledged recently. Mr. Knox asked how long a time the pledging extended over? The inspector said from January to August. He wished for a remand. The prisoner said he came from France in April, and his brother kept a restaurant, and that there were money mat ters between them, and his brother gave him the jewellery, some of which ho had pledged at different times. Mr. Knox granted a remand that inquiries might be made into the prisoner's statement. Mr. Wm.

These bankrupts were described as of Hall Mills, Staines, fibre manufacturers, and to-day was appointed for the last examination. The balance -sheet shows (debtor) £520, and the bank rup's claim a surplus from property since rendered of £4O. The case had been adjourned in order that a patentshould be given up : that had been done, and there was now no opposition to the bankrupts passing. They passed accord ingly. THE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL DISCOUNT COMPANY. In this case Mr. Roxburgh said that he appeared for the official liquidator, to proceed with settling the list in regard to adjourned cases. The first case was that of Dr. Bailey, who was set down as a shareholder for 1,020 shares, but it appeared that as respected 1,000 shares he was not liable, as they had been issued to the solicitor as paid up shares, and Dr. Bailey was merely a trustee. His Honour—Then, do all parties agree that he is only iable for 20 shares. Mr. Roxburgh—Yes. The next case was that of Mr. Doyle, who was a share holder in the Brighton Company for 25 shares, and there was a resolution to amalgamate the company, and he had been put down as a shareholder in the new company, and he was placed on the registrar of the present company. Mr. Roxburgh said that there was a question whether a shareholder in one company could be placed on the register of another, there having been an amalgamation. His Honour did not see how bankrupt was bound by the act of the company to transfer the names Of their share holders to any other company. Mr. Doyle said that he had never sanctioned the transfer of the shares to the new company, nor had he accepted the shares, or signed the register; the fact was that the Brighton Company was still in existence, and he was not bound by any resolution of the Brighton Company to amal gamate with the London Company. The proper course would have been for the Brighton Company to have applied to dissolve. His Honour said that it did not appear that there was any consent on the part of Mr. Doyle, and the name was struck out of the list. Some other cases of the same nature met with a like result. The cases were proceeding to be " settled," when Mr. Poole having referred to the articles of association and registrar, and the parties having signed, he abandoned the opposition. Mr. Linklater opposed in several cases that the mere entry of the name on the registrar was not prima Tacit evidence—that there must be an acceptance of the shares• His Honour said it would be monstrous to assume that because a man's name was on the registrar that he had accepted shares, and he must require evidence, but he would adjourn such cases. The list was being proceeded with. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—For a great many years suicides and attempts at suicide had been committed by drunken prostitutes in the waters of the London Dock from the seve ral bridges in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, and Old Gravel lane, St. George-in-the-East, and occasi, nally from the s wivel bridge near Wapping Church, and the swivel bridge which passes over the Hermitage Lcck, Lower East Smith • field. In almost every ease the magistrates have remanded the women rescued from the waters for a week, and the spiritual advice and exhortations of the Rev. Mr. Jephson, the pious and excellent chaplain of the Clerkenwell House of Detention have met with the happiest effects. A few have, notwithstanding, relapsed and attempted suicide a second time. About 30 years ago the late Mr. Ballantiu9 committed several prostitutes who had attempted self-destruction in the waters of the London Dock, for trial, and the body of another woman of the town, who had drowned herself, was given to the surgeons for dissection, after a verdict of felo de se was returned. The practice has latterly become so common that something more than mere remands for a week and a kind lecture (which the frail sisterhood call a ' " blowing up") from the magistrates has become necessary, in the way of example to deter others from the commission of a crime contrary to all divine and human laws. On Friday evening, after Mr. Humphreys and a Jury had held an inquest on the body of a woman named Emma Hammer ton, who precipitated herself from the Old Gravel-lane bridge, and was drowned, the Coroner remarked that if the Jury were to return a verdict offelo de se, it might be productive of some good, for it generally happened after a case of suicide by ono prostitute that nearly a score acted in a similar manner. - Thies morning Margaret Scott, aged 21, of No. 31, Angel court, Shad well, where none but " fallen angels" are to be found, was charged with attempting self-destruction. She was observed by a butcher's boy, named Nicholas Horns worth to "throw herself over" the Old Gravel-lane swivel bridge into the water. The boy halloaed out for the drags. There was some delay in bring ing them, and a young man jumped into the dock and dived after her. He brought her up and she was saved. The brave fellow did not give his name and ad dress, nor did he attend to give evidence of his gallantry i n saving the unfortunate and misguided woman. She stated in answer to questions put to her by the magistrate that she had been a gay woman for 13 months and came from Clapham. She was very sorry for what she had done. She was drunk when she did it. Selfe said these repeated attempts a t suicide were quite t o humanity. lie r eman d ed the prisoner to-itie shockingr. h a prostitute, Clerkenwell as prison fora w week.as Jane charged by John Bryan, a police constable, with attempting self-destruction. t..he wa s in a state of intoxication, and shouting and bawling, d in the midst of her wild delirium she an went OD. the ne G r avel-lane swivel bridge, and sa i d she would drown her • w self.

In the month of July there were 17 attempts to colloalt suicide from the London Dock swivel bridges. THE FORDINGBAIDGE MURDER. --George Gil..bert, who was convicted of the atrocious m ur der O f 4 Vung lady at Fordiugby4a Vilts executed this xueraillg, HALF-YEARLY MERTING—(THIS DAY). The ordinary half.yearly meeting was held a' the offices, 31, Parliament -street. The chairman presided. The report of the directors states that the balance at the credit of the revenue account for the half year ending the 30th Tune is £1,638, which anables the directors to recommend a dividend for the half-year of £2 per cent., instead of £1 108 per cent., which h as b een t h e rate for the ccrres: pending half of the four,preceding years, leaving a balance of £lO2. The Act for the Addiscombe Ex tension has been obtained in fiat present session, notwithstanding the strenuous opposition of the Brighton Company in both Houses of Parliament, on the ground that it was the first step to an exten sion of the company's line to Croydon. It was un questionably in that view that the project received such unanimous support from the inhabitants of that populous town ; and it will be incumbent on the company, after so decided an expression in favour of a new line to Croydon, to renew the ap plication made to Parliament some years ago, for powers to provide the desired accommodation, by the further extension of the Mid-Kent line to a cen tral station in the town, which will give access to the new London stations of Cannon street and Charing cross, as well as to the important places on the North Kent line. The additional capital which will be required for the construction of the Addis combe line will be raised by the creation, under the powers of the recent Act, of 9,000 shares of £5 each, bearing a preferential final dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, secured on the net receipts of the exist ing railway and on those which will be derived from the new line. The directors believe that this arrangement will be found to be the best for pro viding the funds and securing the rapid construction of the line. The extension is only 31 miles in length, and will be extremely cheap to construct and it is expected that the line will be completed and open for public traffic in the early part of next summer. The expenditure on capital account amounts to £100,702. The report was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident occurred yesterday about nine miles from Preston. A num• ber of factory operatives left Ashton Quay in a boat for an excursion. On the return the vessel came into contact with a schooner and capsized; eight of the unfortunate excursionists were drowned. Only two of the bodies have been recovered ; the others have drifted out to sea. THE ALPHABETICAL TARGET.—Mr. Dempster's alphabetical target, an account of which appeared in our columns a fe w days since, has since then been admitted into the Military Engineering Department at the Great International Exhibition. A Berlin letter states that, on the 31st ult., the Prince Royal was about to start from Potsdam to the capital, to inspect a body of troops, when he suddenly sent word that ho should not leave. It appears that the cause of his absence was the critical situation of the Princess, wh ose acconchement was hourly expected.

IVe 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 suftl ciently convenient and direct means of communicao Lion for :he traffic,—and as the flooding of the low dying districts could be obviated by a more efficient drainage-- there does not appear to us any public necessity for as 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 shenld be doetroue at any time of construct ing an embankment, which, whilst increasing their own accommodation, would ensure uniformity of design, an d 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 populatei 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 -bridg e , 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 ordinary half-y ear l y meeting of this com pany was held this day at th e offices, Duke -street, Westminster. The Earl of Luean presided. The report stated that the line had earned £9,600 16s. 10d. during the past half year. Since the opening of the extension to Claremorris the receipts to the 30th June last reached £lO 9s. per mile per week; this is encouraging, and must in sure the confidence already telt by the directors of the future prospects of the undertaking. It is proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum on the £li2o paid up on the prefer. ence capital, and also a dividend, free of income-tax, at the rate of £2 per cent. per annum upon the called up ordinary capital to the 30th of June last, which will absorb £3,168 13s. 3d., and leave a ba lance of £334 ss. 2d. t 3 be carried forward. The directors will commence the Westport Extension immediately on completion of the works to Castle bar, and are taking the necessary steps for that purpose. If the importance to the interests of this extension could ever be doubted, it is now esta blished, say the directors, by the obstinate resist ance of the Midland Company ; by every means in their power, in defiance of all their obligations, that company has given this company the most de termined opposition on every stage of the bill and on every opportunity that offered. The referee has declared the conduct of the Midland Company to be a violation of the agreement between the two companies, and the select committee of the House of Commons refused them a hearing, determined upo n not countenancing such a breach of good faith. The report was carried unanimously. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. MID. KENT RAILWAY. THE IN TERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. It is to be presumed that the heat of the weather or the counter-attraction of the great review at Ascot must have exercised an adverse influence on the number of visitors to the building. Certainly they were lower on Saturday than they have been for many weeks past, the total for the whale day being only 23,820, of whom only 15,185 were by payment and 8,635 by season tickets. Latterly there has been rather a steady diminution in the Saturday attendances, and as, with a hot autumn and the prorogation of Parliament, the receipts on those days are likely to get worse instead of better, there is no doubt that after the lapse of a week or a fortnight, the plan which the Commissioners have long contemplated of making Saturday a shilling day will be adopted. What the financial results of the change will be we, ! of tainly course, do n o t preten d to say; b u t it must cer be a great boon to the great mass of city clerks and others with whom Saturday is a half holyday, and to whom the reduction in price will be an important consideration. The results of the past week as compared with the same week in 1851 are, as usual, in favour of the present Exhibi tion, the total number of admissions, whether by payment or season tickets, on each occasion being as follows : Monday Is, 1 851. 18 62. () ... ...... 6 7,170 .• 62,830 Tuesday (Is.) .• 62 Wednesday (Is.) •• 58,7828,2 Thursday (Is.) 57,309 .. 55,699 Friday (2s. 6d.) Saturday (55.) 288,519 292,922 On Saturday the Crown Prince of Saxony visited the Exhibition, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Cavendish, and inspected the English jewellery de partment, the French Gobelin tapestry, and the machinery department, where he was met by the Saxon Commissioner and Mr. Clarke, superin tendent of the department, who explained the work ing of the various machines. The Exhibition has certainly done something to develop peculiar modes of competition —one of which is shown near Cadogan-pier, Chelsea. Two boys are placed with boards to direct the stream of visi tors to South Kensington by two different routes, the rival traders in each line of thoroughfare pay ing the cost of this human finger-post.

We the undersigned members of your Majesty's Com mission to examine plans for embanking the Surrey side of the River Thames, within the metropolis, and to report " which of the said plans of embankment will, in our opinion, conduce with the greatest efficiency and economy to the improvement, embellishment, and convenience of that part of the metropolis, improve the navigation of the river, and provide a public thoroughfare without stopping such trade as must be carried on upon the bank of the river, and also upon the cost and means of carrying the same into execution," beg to submit the following 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. the 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 c annot recommend a ny one p l an 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.
