MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The committee of the Stock Exchange on Mon day next may probably appoint the following Thursday and Friday a special settling day in the scrip of the new Peruvian loan. The particulars are published of Buenos Ayres Three per Cent Bonds, representing £26,000, which have been cancelled by the investment of a sum of £10,026. It is worthy of remark that the application of the money to this purpose is entirely a voluntary act on the part of the Government. There was no gold transactions at the Bank to day. A considerable amount of Russian has ar rived, and is expected to remain here. The mail steamer Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with £213,000 in silver, and £49,0001 in gold. The New York telegrams yesterday afternoon report a recovery in tho exchange of 127, and in the premium on gold to 151 per cent. The City of Manchester was about to leave for England with £40,000 in specie. The Liverpool Cotton Market is still excited and rising. The sales to-day have reached 24,090 bales. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Tb.c Bank of England return completed to the 27th August exhibits one or two rather important changes. Owing to the non-arrivals of gold from either America or Australia, there is a very limited addition to the stock of bullion. The reserve of notes, however, has been largely augmented, and both the public and private balances show important additions. Subjoined is a table of the various items and the alterations they present : Active Circulation .• £21,255,825 Decrease .• 811,845 Bullion 17,678,698 Increase • • • • •• '• 4,094 R est 3,331,215 Decrease .. • . • . 34,278 Public Deposits 7,508,882 Increase .. • . .. 358,630 Other Deposits.. 14,865,006 Increase .. .. 296,999 Seven Day and other Bills .. .. 824,065 Decrease .. 8,820 Government Securities .. 11,036,097 No. alteration.

Tea at public sale fully sustained previous rates. Sugars were in demand at enhanced prices, while coffee, cocoa, and rice has been dealt in to some extent at full rates. The de mand for saltpetre has improved, but tallow con tinued dull for both present and forward delivery, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 485,, and last 3 months, 495. 9d. to 50s. per cwt. Two O'CLOCK. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the seven months ended July 31 have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom was £69,446,480 against £70,237,685 in the like period of 1861, being a decrease of £791,205. The falling off is most perceptible in cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, machinery, rail road iron, British sheeting, and cheeps' and lambs' wool. The importations of the principal articles were larger as regards flax, hemp, silk manufactures, spices, tallow, coffee, corn, sugar, tea, wine, and sheeps' and lambs' wool ; but smaller in raw cotton, raw silk, cocoa, flour, currants, timber, and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom of 581,951 tons for the entries inwards ; but an increase of 63,241 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade 11,449 tens less were em ployed than in the corresponding period of 1861 for the entries inwards, and 105,287 tons for the clearances outwards. Very little business has been transacted in the English Stock Market this morning, the dealers and others being almost solely occupied with the settlement in Foreign Stooks and 11 stilwtly Share ; a further improvement of per cent., however, has been established, Consols being 931 =2. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 93,1 ; Ex chequer Bills steady at 17s. to 21s. prem.; Bank Stock is flat at 240; India 6 per Cent. Loan at 1t,81,1 Tilere have been very few dealings in Foreign Securities, and prices have undergone no important change. Turkish 6 per Cents,, 1854, are 841 852 ; ditto, 1858, 703 71; ditto £lOO Bonds, 74 ; the New Scrip is 651 663 ; and the Internal Debt is 321 33. Italian have improved to 671; Moorish are 931 ; Russian Scrip, -1 dis.; bat Venezuelan are firmer at 26. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been very limited, although, in some instances, prices have shown a slight recovery from their late depression. Great Westerns are dealt in at 654 ex div.; South Easterns at 83: ex div.; Midlands at 127 and 1271 ex div.; North Westerns at 93; 941 ex div.; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 106 and 106: ex div. ; Caledonians remained firm at 1081 108 t.

GREAT MEMORIE S;—.. , WiIIiam Lyon, an itinerant actor, known in Edinburgh about 100 years ago, one even ing over a bottle with som e of his theatrical brethren, wagered a crown bowl of Punch that the following day at rehearsal he would repeat the whole of a " Daily Adver tiser." The players, who considered this as mere bravado, ' paid little attention to it; but as Lyon was positive, one of them accepted the wager. '1 he next, morning at rehearsal, he reminded Lyon of his bet, imagining as he was drunk the night before he must certainly hav e f orgotton i t, an d rallied him on the ridiculons boasting of his memory. Lyon produced the paper, desired the other to look at it, and decide the wager. Notwithstanding the want of connec tion in the paragraphs, the variety of advertisem en t s , and the general chaos which forms the composition of a news paper, he repeated it throughout without the least hesita tion or mistake.—Dublin University Ilagazine. THE TUSCARORI.—The Federal war steamer Tuscorara left Plymouth under steam at half-past 8 yester day morning for the westward. She is destined, it is said, for a port on the other aide of the Channel, and may ulti mately go to Cadiz. SHARE MARKET-THIS DAY. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOeKS, Sharer Railways 100 .

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1862. - POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.—OUTRAGEOUS CASE. — Adrian Brun, described as an interpreter, no address, and Auguste Tortinet, commission agent, of 40, Silver.street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £lB, the property of Mr. Charles White, jeweller, of 146, Great Portland -street. Mr. Albert interpreted. Mr. Charles white said on Monday last Brun came into his shop and said he had been at work at the Great Exhibi tion and wanted :o take a good gold lever watch home with him to I ranee. I told him I had not got one then, but yesterday Brun called with the other prisoner and approved of the watch, and then Brun wanted to see a gold chain. I showed him a col) chain with a key and white stone. Brun then wanted to know the price of the chain and watch. While I was wr ting Brun threw something like snuff or salt in my eyes, aid off they went, taking one of the watches with them. Tie watches and chain were on the counter separate from each other. I rushed round the counter after them, but hardlycould see, being almost blinded. I ran up Clipstone-street end overtook the tall one (Tortinet) about half way between Bolsover-street and Carburton-street. I pursued Brun, and he threw the watch away from him, but it was not mach injured, being a hunting watch. On getting back to tie shop with Brun I missed a chain. I asked him whetivr he threw the, stuff in my face or the other, and he said he did it. Thinking he might give me another doze, I seized him, and then gave him into cue tody. At night l went to the address Brun gave, and there I saw Tortinet, het not the chain. The watch was worth £l5, and the chair £3. I produce the watch, but the chain has not been recovered. I then gave Tortinet in charge. Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoners. Boyd, 197 sa.d—Yesterday afternoon I was called into Mr. White's, and took Brun into custody for throwing something in Mr. White's eyes, and then stealing a watch. Prisoner, on the ray to the station, said he had done so because he had m money. At the station Brun wrote the address where they could find the other man (Tortinet). At 8 o'clock I west to 40, Silver-street, and took him into custody, Mr, Wh. te being present at the time. In answer to a pestion, Mr. White said he was positive as io the prisoners being the same men, for they had been to his shop two o: three times altogether. Mr. Tyrwhitt :emanded the prisoner for a week. IRELAND. TIA'GHAIII. MARK LANE. DUBLIN, AUG. 28, The Commissioners of Fisheries are at present in Galway, holdi ng mee ti ngs and receiving " all suc h pertinent evidence as shall be offered on the sub ject of the Fisheries," having been called upon to make a by-law to prohibit the use of nets in the River Clare, Galway. Messrs. F. Brady and Jr. R. Barry are the Commissioners. It appears that a number of gentlemen interested in the subject signed a requisition asking for this inquiry, and that netting should be prohibited in that river, which is long and narrow, containing every facility for spawning, and suitable for angling, but not for netting. There were 2,500 salmon caught in it by angling during last season. The lessees have spent £3,000 in bring ing the fishery to its present state. The cases of poaching have diminished from 56 five years ago to four last year. 80 men are employed protecting the rivers round Lough Corrib. In summer, the river is sometimes dried up and the fish left in pools. Two years ago, a gentleman killed 16 fish in this river in one day, and 68 in one week. Witnesses were of opinion that if the proprietors were per mitted to net the river the fish would be annihilated. Even here not one fish is taken for ten that were taken in former times. One of the witnesses stated that shortening the season one fortnight would do more to preserve the fishery than the prohibition of netting. The report which was in circulation for the last few days that the convict Walsh had offered to dis close the names of the persons who employed him and Beckham to murder Mr. Fitzgerald, and that in consequence his life would be spared, turns out to be groundless. He has made no revelations, and I the Lord Justices, in reply to his memorial for mercy, have stated that they see no reason for in terfering with the course of justice. He will be .hanged on Monday. A few days since a passenger on his way to Holy head went on board the Munster mail steamer at Kingstown. Feeling unusually cold, when, trying to ascertain the cause, he found one of the legs of his trousers cut open. This had been done by a pickpocket, while he was getting his luggage on board. The object of the operator was to let the puree drop out. In this he failed, but he managed so expertly as to escape detection, and probably he was looking on, amused at the awkward predica ment of his intended victim as to his dress. There was a dense fog in this city yesterday , morning. It also covered the Irish Channel, ren dering navigation difficult and perilous. The Munster mail steamer was delayed beyond her time, and the mails were landed by the boats of the Ajax, which had been sent to the mouth of the harbour to serve as guides. The Liverpool steamer got across the mouth of the harbour, and, while in that position, the Munster was within a few feet of running into her. The signal guns of the war ship. which were fired at intervals, served to prevent accidents. LE RESTIN G DISCOVERY A 7 NOT- Mr. Roger Brooke, Assistant Surveyor to the Corporation of Nottingham, says, in a letter to a contemporary :—A short time since the corporation of this borough determined on making great alte rations in what has always been considered to be the oldest part of the town. Many houses which bore the impress of great age have been pulled down, in order to construct a commodious street leading from the general market-place to the centre of the lace-market.. Among these was one which was popularly known as "King John's Palace," - although no reliable authority could be found for the tradition. Last Monday, however, some of the workmen announced that they had discovered a large underground cell, and on repairing to the spot I found it to be a fact. Not one alone, but thirteen cells have been discovered, all com municating with each other, and eventually with the Castle, which is about a quarter of a mile distant. I and some gentlemen of the Town Council spent the greater part of yesterday in ex ploring these discoveries. The curiosity evinced by the people of the town WtiS so great that a large body of policemen hail to guard the entrance to prevent any accident. The walls of four of the cells have been lined with rude but substantial masonry, while others appear to be in their primitive condition, In one of those which we found thus lined we dis covered numerous remains of ancient armour lying in a corner, while near to them were several weapons, one of which in particular (a battle axe) is in an excellent state of preservation. In another we discovered three skeletons, apparently the remains of prisoners, for each one was lying near what appeared to have been huge staples fixed in the wall. One of the skeletons crumbled sway to dust, the other two are very fragile indeed. It was some time before we could muster courage sufficient to examine the passage leading to the castle, on account of the foul air. On our doing so, however, we found the air to be comparatively pure, owing, no doubt, to the existence of fissures in the rock. Nothing remarkable was discovered in it, but the fact of their being such a passage gives a colour of probability to the tradition concerning " King John's Palace." There is every reason to believe that these excavations extend still further, and I entertain sanguine hopes that more interest ing discoveries will yet be made. It is intended on the return of my superior, Mr. Tarbottom (who is at present absent on sick leave), to conduct the search still further. MARKETS---THIS DAY. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of new English wheat were only moderate. The trade, however, was dull for all qualities, and previous quotations were barely supported. There was a good show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. The transactions were for the most part of a retail character, at about Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on former terms. Barley, owing to the small supply on offer, was firm at extreme rates. The malt trade ruled inactive, yet prices were supported. The supply of oats was very moderate, and all kinds moved off freely at full quotations. Beans and peas were firm, and quite as dear as on Mon day. In moEt kinds of flour a fair business was transacted at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS VgMIX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English...— 1,350 1 10 ! 1,460 — I 510 sacks.

Eugene Simon, there are a few young trees, out of the bark of which the Japanese make very good and strong paper. In China, the bark of the% Brouseennetia papyrifera, a kind of mulberry-tree, is used ; that of Japan is a variety of the same species, to which Van Sieboldt has given the name of Broussonne tia Kanzinoki. Considering the daily increasing difficulty of meeting the demand for rags, which are sold at about £2 per cwt., the bark of this tree, imported from Japan, would prove ex tremely valuable to the paper trade, inasmuch as it would not cost more than half that price. The B. Iraminoki might be easily acclimatised in various parts of Europe; it prefers a stony soil, especially of a calcareous nature, and should be planted at intervals not exceeding three feet ; I otherwise the branches would extend, whereby the bark would become full of knots, causing much loss of substance in the manufacture. The soil is not manured until the second year; in the autumn of that year the plant is lopped close to the root, and this operation as well as that of manuring slightly, is repeated every second year. 1001bs. of branches thus obtained, stripped of their leaves, yield 101bs. of bark. The branches, on arriving at the manufactory, are put into hot water for half an hour ; the bark can then be easily stripped off with the hands, and is afterwards left in the sun to dry, It is next macerated for three days in river -water, and bleached in the sun. These operations having been several times repeated, the bark is at last boiled in a lye of ashes for the space of three hours, then manipulated for some time to separate any epidermis that may have remained, and lastly, when dry, the mass is pounded fine and made into a pulp with water, to which aglutinous liquid, ex tracted from a shrub called Nebooriko, probably the Accia Nemu, is added, in th e proportion of about two pints per cwt. of pulp. The latter is then made into sheets much in the usual way. SOUTH-EASTERN _RAILWAY COMPANY. HALF -YEARLY MEETING YESTERDAY. The half -yearly general meeting of proprietors of this company was held this afternoon at the Bridge House Hotel ; the Hon. T. Byng, chairman of the Board of Direc tors, in the chair. The report of the directors, an abstract of which we have already published, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the report showed an increase in the net receipts, which enabled them to declare a dividend at the rate of £4 ss. per cent. per annum as against £4 3s. 4d. last year. This was satisfactory, considering the circumstances which had occurred. The diminution of 'raffle occasioned by the depression of trade and ether causes had been made up by an increase in the Continental passenger traffic, in con sequence of the large number of visitors to the Exhibition. Of course the chief adverse influence they had to contend with was the opening of a rival line to Dover, and the con sequent competition compelling them to lower their fares ; but it would be observed that there had been a large increase of passenger traffic in numbers, though a slight diminition in receipts. After some discussion, the report was a adopted. A resolution, declaring a dividend in terms of the report was then agreed to, and the meeting thereafter nominated two new directors in accordance with the resolution. Messrs. Bulkely and Whatman, the gentlemen recommended by the directors, were elected. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of authorising the conversion and consolidation of such of the " Fixed 4f per Cent. Preference Shares" of the company, created Ist Fept. 1859, as have been fully paid up into Fixed 4} per Cent. Stock, under the powers and provisions of the Charing-cross Railway Act, 1859, and the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845. Authority was given to the directors to carry these proposals into effect. A rote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting separated. BANE OF ENGLAND.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--The last performance of Verdi's brilliant and telling " Great International Ex hibition Cantata," with the magnificent solo by Madlle. Titiens, and the powerful aid derived from 500 trained voices, took place last evening at her Majesty's Theatre. The house was crowded in every part. Signor Arditi's in comparable orchestra distinguished itself in a splendid per formance, between the acts of the opera, and as a sort of preface to the Cantata, of the overture to Rossini's cele brated " Guglielmo Tell." This the band played literally to perfection, and it drew down an instant and unanimous encore. The Dake de Blacas has left Brown's Hotel for Paris. A HEAVY LOAD.—On Tuesday last a large block of granite, no less than 30 feet in length, and weighing about 35 tons, was conveyed by 40 horses, assisted by about 200 men, to the polishing works of Messrs. W. and J. Free man, of Penryn, from one of their quarries. Careful ar rangements were made on Monday week to bring this great weight over the rough moors on to the hard road. This was partially effected on that day, and last Monday the stone was brought to the bottom of the first hill ready for ulterior operations. Everything in the arrangements seemed to be most successful, the progress over difficult hills both in ascent and descent was uninterrupted, and on the arrival of the block at its destination in the town, all the workmen of the firm and the inhabitants, of whom seve ral hundreds had assembled, joined in three hearty cheers. This block is intended to form the shaft of a memorial column to be erected at Strathfieldsaye in honour of the late Duke of Wellington, Messrs. Freeman having been in trusted by the present Duke with the execution of this work, so far as the granite is concerned. The column will be raised on a pedestal of still larger dimensions, supported by three tiers of steps, each stone of which will be of great size. The other parts of the design comprise mouldings in polished granite, involving stones of nearly 100 superficial feet. The whole will be surmounted by a bronze statue of the late Duke by Baron Marochetti. LORD COCKBURN AND THE SHEPHERD.—Lord Cockburn was once sitting on a hillside with a shepherd, and observing the sheep reposing in the coldest situation, he observed to him, " J ohn, if I were a sheep, I would lie on the other side of the hill." The shepherd answered, " Ay, ray lord, but if ye had been a sheep ye would have had mair sense." A TRAIN OFF THE LlNE.—Yesterday an acci dent, which almost miraculously terminated without any fatality, occurred on the Midland Railway, between Nottingham and Derby. The 11 30 a.m. train for Scar borough left Nottingham at the usual time, and had arrived within a mile of the new station at Trent, when, owing to some mistake on the part of the pointsman, and probably also to the excessive speed at which the train was proceeding, the engine ran off the line. Fortunately there were very few passengers in the train : and in the first two or thre e carr i a ges none at all. The engine.driver of once shut off the steam when he perceived the accident, And I the train was stopped before any important damago w as done cr any injuries received, with the exception d a con tused wound of no consequence inflicted on the stoker. The Journal d e Toulouse m entions the arres t of an individual accused of crim es which bear a str ong analogy to those perpetrated by th e no prious Dumollard : F or s ome time past complaints had been made of a man w h o occupied himself with eugagiogyoung females a s ser in t o neighbourhood of Tou vants for persons residing louse, under promise of getting them higher wages than what tboY were before receiving. T w o females wh o coo sented to follow him to the places h e i n d icated were subjected to the grossest indignities, and 9i t e rwards robb e d o f a ll t h e money they possessed.

ARRIVAL OF THE BOHEMIA. NEW YORK;AvG. 16 plorniag.) (Per Bohemia via Quebec and Londonderry.) General APClellan's army is supposed to have retired from Harrison's Landing down the penin sula —one portion by land, via Williamsburg, and another portion on transports down the James River. Both routes of retreat were liable to an attack from the Confederates, but it is reported that the movement has been successfully performed. It is not definitely known when General 111'Clellan will operate. General Jackson has safely crossed the Rapidan, and is south-west of Gordonsville, with 60,000 men. The high waters of the Rapidan have delayed the Federal forces, but they are reported to be steadily advancing. General Pope's official report of the battle at Cedar Mountain states that the loss of the Federals waa 1,500 killed, wounded, and missing, 300 of whom were taken prisoners. General Prince was captured by the Confederates. Confederate General Winder was killed. The Southern journals claim the victory at Cedar Mountain, and state that 30 commissioned officers of Gen. Pope's army have arrived at Richmond, where they would be imprisoned, and finally punished as felons, until the Federal Government should cease the war policy inaugurated by General Pope. General Pope has issued an order, stating that his proclamation directing the army to subsist on the country has been abused by officers and men, and forbidding all to molest or disturb the pro perty of citizens. Acts of pillage and outrage will be punished. Confederate General Lee has addressed a letter to General HaHeck, threatening retaliatory mea sures for Gen. Pope's order. General Halleci answered that as the letter was couched in a tone insulting to the Federal Govern ment, he should not reply. General Fremont has again been appointed to command the first army under General Pope. It is reported from Memphis that a battle occurred on the 7th inst. at Tazewell, near Cumberland Gap, in which 3,000 Federals surrendered; that the Con federates were again in possession of East Tennes see, and that Generals Beauregard and Bragg were at Chattanoga with 70,000 men. A semi-official Washington despatch declares the report to be totally untrue, and says that no fight took place at Tazewell, except on the 9th, when the Confederates were repulsed with loss. The Memphis report is discredited. It is again reported from the South that the Con federates have captured Baton Rouge with four Federal regiments, and have sunk two Federal gunboats. Official orders have been issued for formally com mencing the draft of 300,000 on the Ist Sept., and also the additional special draft to fill up all the old regiments not filled by that date. Recruiting has much improved, but the drafting excitement continues. Foreigners who have de clared their intention to become citizens are not allowed to leave the country. Numerous emigrants enlist on landing. The Governor of Massachusetts has ordered the enrolment of coloured citizens among those subject to the draft. The municipality of New York has appropriated 1,000,000 dole. for the defence of the harbour by gunboats and rams. Three hundred houses in Memphis have been seized under the Confiscation Act. General Butler has ordered a forced contribution of 330,000 dols. from the banks, cotton brokers, and merchants of New Orleans for the support of the poor. The assessments are made in propor tion to the sum subscribed by the merchants for the defence of New Orleans against the Federal Government. The forced cuutributions from each firm varies from 85,000 dole, to 6 dole. ; nearly 200 firms are assessed. A collission has occurred on the Potamic between two transports. Eighty sick soldiers were drowned. Mr. Cassius M. Clay has made a speech at Wash ington d(Noted to abuse of the English Parliament, press, and people, and laudatory of France and Russia. England, he said, is the most unfriendly nation upon the earth. Her conduct on the slavery question was hellishly damnable hypocrisy. She was looking for America's downfall, but France protected America. He would not desist speaking against England. When England threatened the national existence, Napoleon was the firm and fixed friend of America. Therefore let America appeal to France not to stand by and let the American Republic be de stroyed by England. Russia was a strong ally of America. He was surprised and struck with ad miration at the condition of the Russian people, for England had misrepresented them. The Russian royal family is the most lively, intelligent, and vir tuous family that ever occupied a throne. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO FATHER POINT.) NEW YORK, August 16 (Evening.) Gen.
