NONEY AIA NR W A CITY, Two o'CLocK. The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days have been rather more active. Tea, although quiet, has realised fully late rates. The inquiries on the part of the trade for the better qualities of sugar have increased, and prices have exhibited a slightly upward tendency. For coffee there has been a good demand particularly for fine descriptions of Plan tation Ceylon, which are comparatively scarce. Rice, rum, and spices have beent dealt in to a fair extent, and a moderate amount of business has been done in new fruit at fully late values. Saltpetre and tallow have been rather inactive, the specula tive business in the latter article having been ex ceedingly limited. The Liv er p oo l Cotton Market yesterday closed with a steady appearance, and prices were without alteration. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market the transac• ticns were rather limited, but the quotations exhi. bited a slight advance. A sum of £140,000 was added to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England yesterday. To-day a call of -X2 10s. per share, or £18,750, becomes due on the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Aber g avenny Railway. The Delta, which leaves to-day, will take out £lO,OOO in gold for the Mauritius, and £85,330 in gold, and £237,660 in silver for Bombay, the whole of which is on private account. There is a steady demand for discount accommo dation, chiefly on commercial account ; the absorp tion for other purposes, in the absence of active speculation at the Stock Exchange, and of joint stock enterprise being comparatively limited, As the October dividends are now being paid the sup plies will be temporarily increased ; and it is pro bable also that the demand will for the moment slightly diminish. Gold continues to flow into the Bank of England, the shipments to the continent being very moderate. A portion of the recent supplies from the United States has been deposited in that establishment, and it is probable that the accumulation will make further progress in conse quence of the remittances en route from Victoria. Very little business has been transacted in the English Stock Market to-day, except in connexion with the settlement of the account, which has made satisfactory progress. The funds, however, are well maintained, although the operations are con ducted on a very limited scale. The influx of gold at the Bank of England, and the favourable position of monetary affairs, give support to the market, but they fail to stimulate business. Consols have been maintained at 951 4 for money, and at 951 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes are marked 941 ; the Reduced Annuities, 941 1. Bank Stock is 219 to 221; India ditto has receded to 2171 ; ditto New Loan is firm, at 1017 ; and ditto Scrip, at 101 1. The Debentures remain at 95 and Exchequer Bills at 245. to 275. prem. A large amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, but prices in most instances show little variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 to 801, ex. ; ditto New, 69 to 70. Brazilian 5 per Cents. have receded to 101; ditto 41 per Cents., to 95: ; Grenada Active, to 171 ; ditto Deferred, to 5 ; Mexi can, to 221 1; Peruvian 4; per Cents., to 904 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., to 46 ; ditto Deferred, to 341, ; ditto Passive, to 111; and the Certificates, to 41. Venesuelan 21 per Cents. are firm, at 27 n ; Chilian 6 per Cents., at 104 ; Russian 41 per Cents., at 991 1 ; and ditto Scrip, at k dis. Sardinian 5 per Cents, are steady, at 87. The Railway Share Market has been very in active, and prices in some instances have been a shade flatter. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Midland, and North-Easters (Berwick) have de clined ss. ; North-Western, however, improved ss. ; Bristol and Exeter, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North Stafford, realised about pre vious prices. In the Foreign Market Lombardo -Venetian were steady at 12, and Royal Danish at 12. The Colonial undertakings have been in very limited request. Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced to 381 I, and Great Indian Peninsula to 97 and 971. East Indian declined to 100. For Joint Stock Bank Shares there was scarcely any inquiry, prices being almost nominal. London and Westminster realised 57, and Van Diemen's Land, 131 131. /BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Sergeant Jones.) THE MASONS' LO CK - OUT , -IMPORTANT DECISION.- WCEPHENS V. TOMBS. Plaintiff is a mason, and defendant a master builder, and the amount sought to be recovered was £2, being one week's wage in lieu of notice, plaintiff being locked out on the Bth August last. Plaintiff said he was a mason, and had been engaged by defendant at the rate of £2 per week upon some works at Holloway. Ho was told the work would last some time, and left another place for defendant's situation. On Friday, the sth August, there was some talk about closing the works, and on Saturday, the 6th, plaintiff was told by the clerk that the works would not he opened on Monday. Plaintiff was paid up to Friday night, and it was intimated that very likely the works would be opened in a day or two. On Monday and during the week plaintiff attended at the works, but no employment was offered to him, and on Satur • day, the 13th, he received 108., that sum being due for workdone on the 6th. He demanded money for notice, but that being refused, brought the present action. By his Honour—He and the boy were engaged at £2 per week. Defendant said, in the first place, it was not customary to give a week's notice ; and in the second plain tiff was only in the position of 10,000 masons who were locked out at the same time. His Honour—l have nothing to do with that. There is no reason that plaintiff should suffer for the deeds of others. I am not now trying the differences between the masters and men, and hope I shall never have to do so. Defendant—The works were also closed because the party employing me did not pay me my money. Plaintiff—When the works were closed on Monday, I inquired where I could see Mr. Tombs, and was told he was in bed, at six in the morning. (A laugh.) Defendant's clerk was called, and said—lt was not usual to give a week's notice. He did not see plaintiff about the works after the lock -out. Cross-examined—Witness was not at the works every day. Defendant--Your Honour will understand that on the Oth of August I discharged all my hands, except the foreman. Mr. Woods said he was foreman to the defendant. It was not customary to give masons a week's notice. All the hands were discharged on the 6th. Witnees saw plaintiff at the works in the course of the week. His Honour—l have no doubt that plaintiff is entitled to his claim. In this case he is not only kept about the works, but defendant has actually wages earned in hand until seven days after the lock-out. Defendant—He could have had them by asking. His Honour—lt is not for him to ask, but yeu to give. Plaintiff—l was taken by defendant from a job at Pim lico to go and work at one at Holloway. Under an im pr3ssion created by defendant, who said the job would last till Michaelmas, I removed my family and furniture from Pimlico, and now, since the lock-out, lam working at Pimlico and have to go home to Holloway. His Honour—lt is really sad to see these differences be tween masters and men. The duties between masters and men were reciprocal, and one should have consideration for the other. Now, the moving of plaintiff from Pimlico to Holloway was as much to him as going from one end of the kingdom to the other would be to a person in a higher sphere of society. It was time these quarrells ware at an end. Defendant—The works were open till within six weeks of Michaelmas. His Honour—A great difference to a person in plaintiff's position. I see no reason to alter my opinion. Plaintiff is clearly entitled to a verdict for the full amount claimed with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA F. MANSION-HOUSE William Sugget, tinman, was charged with deserting his wife and six children (the second time) on the 7th of August last, and refusing to contribute towards their sup - port, compelling them to go to the union, where one of the children died in his absence. His wife said he was living with another woman. Tho prisoner said he went to the country to seek work. The assistant relieving officer said the prisoner's wife and children were inmates of the workhouse. The Lord Mayor sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and stated to him that if he was brought there again he would be imprisoned 12 months as a rogue and vagabond, and whipped during that MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT THE MARBLE ARCH.—James Colman, a young man, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by hanging himself with his pocket handker chief to the gate of the Marble Arch. Wm. Atkins, 211 D, said that while opposite the Marble Arch that morning, about a quarter after one, he heard loud groaning, and on crossing over he saw near the Arch a coat and waistcoat lying on the pavement and the pri - goner suspended by a pocket handkerchief to one of the rails attached to the gate post of the Arch. He got him down, and he remained insensible for some minutes, and when he recovered, and on his telling hint that he must take care of him, he said he was sorry he had not been a little longer before he came, and if he only knew the trouble he was in ho would have let him done it. He understood he had been at sea ; but his sister was present. His sister, a good-looking, respectable young female, said, in answer to the magistrate (Mr. Beadon), that she could not account for the prisoner's act, but that she had had a little quarrel with hint in the evening. He had been thinking before he loft home. He was living with his father and mother, and had never attempted anything of the kind before. He had only been home from America three months, Mr. Beadon said he would remand him for a week, that he might be attended to, and have the advice of the chap lain. THAMES. A RUFFIAN.—John Watson, a tall and determined looking young man, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with assaulting Ann Briant, a comely-looking female about 28 years of age, who carried a fine child in her arms, Complainant said she was a single woman. Mr. Selfe—Then, why are you called a married woman in the sheet ? Policeman—Last night, at the station-house, she said she was a married woman. Mr. Selfe asked the complainant if the child she carried in her arms was her own. Complainant—Yes, sir, it is. Mr. Selfe—Who is the father of it? • Complainant—A young man that has gene to sea. She then stated that she was just leaving her own house, No. 4, Park-street, Borough, when the prisoner came up to her with a knife in his hand and said, " I'll cut your b—y eyes out." The prisoner (loudly)—lt's false, sir, it's false, sir. Complainant—lt's quite t rue, sir. He then followed mo up and struck me on the eye with his fist, and gave me this black eye. Mr. Selfe—Why did he strike you ? Complainant—For nothing, sir. Prisoner—lt's a lie, she called me a monkey. Mr. Selfe—Do you know the prisoner, young woman ? Complainant—Ho lives in the same street, that's all I know of him. Jane Smith, of No. 4, Park-stroet, Bromley, saw the assault committed, and heard the prisoner say—" I'll cut your b—y throat." Prisoner said he was intoxicated yesterday, and now all the women wanted to swear his life away. Margaret Connor, an elderly woman, said the prisoner was her lodger, and that he came home last night and took a piece of bread and meat out of the cupboard and began to cut it and eat it. Mr. Selfe—Have you left Bromley this wet morning to give that important piece of evidence? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfo--You had better have stopped at home. The magistrate then said the prisoner had no business to strike a woman in the fast,. Prisoner—l did not strke her. Mr. Selfe—l believe you did. You are fined 10s., and if you do not pay it, to 14 days' imprisonment. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

ROBERT STEPHENSON.—We regret to learn that Mr. Stephenson was much worse yesterday, and that the physicians are no longer able to entertain any hopes of his recovery. A Shields vessel named the Edgar left the Tyne a month ago, for Hamburg, an d has not since been heard of. It is feared she sunk in a gale which in common with other vessels she encountered in the North Sea. Ten persons were on board, and, in all probability, perished with her.— Newcastle Chronicle. The directors of the International Royal Mail Steam-packet Company have received intelligence from New Zealand of the safe arrival there of the screw steamer Airedale from England. This is the fourth vessel sent for ward, completing the arrangements for carrying out the service, not only between Sydney and Now Zealand, but also between the several settlements of that colony. The advice' generally are stated to be satisfactory. DEATH FROM EATING A FUN GUS.-Mr. Newton, coroner, held an inquest a few days ago at Collingham, Notts, on the body of Thomas Batter, a boy eight years of age. The father of the deceased said his son Thomas had accompanied his brother into the fields to look for mush rooms. They found a qxantity and returned home with them. At dinner time the boy complained of a pain in his head and could not eat anything. At 7 o'clock the same evening, upon his parents undressing him, he screamed every time he was touched, and appeared in great agony, shrinking from every one. His mind became affected, and at midnight he expired. The surgeon made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased, and arrived at the conclusion that the deceased met with his death from par taking of a poisonous fungus which he mistook for mush room. • THE OLD WESTMINSTER MEMORIAL.-On visit ing Mr. Wright's Polished Granite Works in John-street we observed a most beautiful shaft of red Peterhead gra nite, intended for the Westminster Column, about to be erected near Westminster Abbey, to the memory of Lord Raglan, and the other " Old Westminsters," who fell in the Crimea. We learn from Mr. Wright that the column is to be surmounted by a figure of St. George and the Dragon, sculptured by Mr. Clayton. Below in niches are to be placed the figures of Henry 111., Edward 1., Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Victoria. This part of the monu ment is to be of Portland stone. The total height of the column is 62 feet. The height of the base is 14 feet 3 inches, and its width 10 feet.-Aberdeen Herald.

The following is the address delivered by the Superintendent on opening the 11th session of tke Provincial Council on the 11th of July : " Mr. Speaker and • Gentlemen of the Provincial Council,—The correspondence which was published in the Provincial Government Gazette on the 21st of June last will have sufficiently explained to you the cause of your being summoned to meet thus un expectedly, and for the third time within a short period. lam sure you will perceive, that the exi• gency of this occasion necessitated your being called together, and that it has become imperative to re move, so far as your power extends, any uncer tainty which may hang over our present mode of dealing with the waste lands of this province, aris ing from the delay which has occurred in obtaining the assent of her Majesty to the Waste Land Act of the General Assembly. " On a recent occasion, when I had the honour of addressing you, I felt called upon to characterise the action of the Colonial-office with respect to the emigration arrangement of this Province, under the Auckland Waste Land Act, as being inconsiderate and ill-advised ; it has been found to be, in fact, highly injurious to the interests of Auckland. " You will have learned, from the despatch of the Secretary of State, which has been made public, the ground upon which it was thought to be neces sary to refer the Waste Land Act, 1858, to the General Assembly for amendment. , It would ap pear that more mature consideration and more com plete information have modified the views of the Colonial Minister, and that that Act, which vali dates our local law, may now have received the Queen's assent. " I have already expressed to you my opinion that the Waste Land Act, 1858, would finally be come law; and as her Majesty's representative in New Zealand had assented to the Auckland Waste Land Act ; as the General Assembly of the Colony were pledged to give it validity; and as the imme diate advisers of the Crown have taken no objec tion to its particular provisions, or to the principle of confiding the administration of the waste lands in the several provinces to the respective provincial Governments, I have no hesitation in continuing to carry out the provisions of the Act which you have passed, and which in its effect on im migration and the settlement of the country, has already conferred such signal advantage upon Auckland. • " As, however, it is .possible that the influence which has procured the delay in obtaining the Queen's assent may be sufficiently powerful to pro long the existing state of suspense, and as his Ex cellency's advisers here think it advisable that doubts of the legality of our proceedings should be immediately removed, I thought it my duty to comply with the invitation of the Colonial Secre tary, and at once to summon this Council for the purpose of giving to the Auckland Waste Land Act, 1858, the form of regulations which the Waste Land Act of 1854 enables a Provincial Council and Superintendent to make, and to recommend to the Governor to be issued and put in force. " The proposed regulations have been already published, and will be submitted for your considera tion as soon as the period specified by the Act— namely. 14 d a y s f rom the commencement of the session—shall have expired. " I received from th e several emigration agents of the province assuranc es o f t h e continued atten tion which, in Great Britain, is being attracted to Auckland as an eligible field for emigration. lam advised that in'the course of this year a very con siderable addition to our population will be made ; and that among the intending emigrants there are being organised, under very favourable circum stances, two associations for the purpose of forming special settlements.

WILLIAMSON, Superintendent. " Provincial Council Chambers, Auckland, July 11." EXTRAORDINARY .FEAT.-A WALK ON THE WATER, (Front the Toronto Globe of Sept. 19.) The announcement, though made by a well known resident of Toronto, that he had invented an apparatus whereby he was enabled to walk upon the water, was received with some caution. Since then, in the presence of several members of the press, Mr. Hickok has given evidence of his ability to do all that he promised. On Saturday afternoon, the party invited proceeded to the Don station, with some amount of doubt upon their minds as to the result of the trial. None of them expected that Mr. Hickok would travel at a great speed, or that his new-fangled invention would enable him to dance to the music of the waves, had there been any wherewith to dance to. But on - arriving at the spot indicated, the best possible evidence was furnished that it would enable him to walk upon the water, for there he was in the middle of the Don, making his way : gainst the current which at this place runs rather quickly. He soon neared the party, and when within speaking distance, turned round with the greatest possible ease. He had in his hand a small pole, scarcely large enough to afford him any assistance, so far as preserving his balance was concerned. That he could do with out it was soon proved, for he threw it from him, receiving in lieu thereof, from a man who accom panied him in a boat, a walking-stick of ordinary size. He commenced his return down the river, proceeding very steadily, and almost as quickly as a pedestrian upon dry land when walking at a mo derate pace. Before going far he threw the stick from him, but shortly afterwards resumed the pole. To the onlookers he appeared to do quite as well without it. When nearly out of sight he retraced his steps, and again came opposite the party. In reply to a question asked, he said he was not at all fatigued. After promenading for a few minutes more, having been on the water at least half an hour, he got into the boat and was rowed to land. The apparatus used by Mr. Hickok is the first he has made, so that, as in all new things, there is room for improvement. The fact is established that a man may, with this invention, walk upon the water, and there is nothing to indicate that the feat is at tended with any peculiar difficulty. It appears quite as easy as walking with snow shoes, the mo tion of which it somewhat resembles. Anybody can d 3 it. It may be that, before long, the bay will be come a favourite place of resort, where our citizens will upon a summer evening seek refuge from the heat and dust of the city, amid the unpolluted breezes of the lake, or that the shining path marked out upon the waters by the beams of the silvery moon will become a fashionable promenade. No stones will be there to vex those troubled with ten der feet. no bruises can result from a fall, no danger is to be apprehended from carelessly driven cabs, or viciously given dogs. But whether this come to pass or not, the invention is doubtless capable of being put to useful purposes. In Venice how great an acquisition it would be. There, if a man wants to call upon a neighbour over the way, he has to hire a boat ; but with Mr. Hickok's invention the indi vidual who should do that would soon come to be looked upon in the same light as the 'op who called a cab to convey him across the street. In the cross ing of armies over rivers, and in passing the streams of a new country, like that traversed by . the Cali fornia emigrant, it will be invaluable. The shoes arc of tin, we understand, about four feet long, and can be easily packed into a small space. We have no information as to the mechanism employed, and we presume that will remain a secret till it is pa tented ; but if any one doubt that the feat can be done, he can satisfy himself by witnessing the public exhibition of his powers which Mr. Hickok in tends giving on Tuesday next. The Lord Mayor elect (Mr. Alderman Carter) has appointed as his chaplain for the year of his mayoralty, the Rev. Henry Christmas, M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge. RELICS OF THE PLAGUE OF LONDON.--A few weeks since the workmen,in digging out the foundation on the east end of Three Nun Court, by St. Michael's Church, Aldgate, carnet° a considerable quantity, upwards of a cart • load, of human skulls and bones, about seven feet from the surface. In some of the papers it has been con jectured that they formed part of the sweepings of some adjacent churchyard after the fire of London. This was more likely the great pit, or " dreadful gulf," as De Foe calls it, provided for the parishes of Aldgate and Whitechapel, which, during a fortnight after it was opened, had thrown into it 1,114 bodies, when they were obliged to fill it up. De Foe adds, " I doubt not but there may be some ancient persons alive in the parish who are able to show in what part of the churchyard the pit lay better than I can ; the mark of it also was many years to be seen in the churchyard, or the surface lying in length, parallel with the passage which goes by the west wall of the churchyard out of Houndsditch, and turns again into Whitechapel, coming out near the Three Nuns Inn."— Notes anu Queries. PHEASANTS IN FRANCE.--The Court of Fontain bleau has just decided that the French law against selling gamo out of season does not apply to pheasants (and con sequently not to any other kind of game) brought up tame like poultry. It defines the word game (gibier) as com prehending, both in an etymological and legal sense, only creatures taken in the chase. Consequently it acquitted the landlady of a hotel who was accused by the public prose cutor of having a brace of pheasants in her larder in August, upon p.roof that she had bought them of a woman who for the last twenty years had been in the habit of rear ing pheasants in her poultry yard. This decision has a certain gastronomic interest. The restaurateurs of Paris would, however, do well not to presume too much upon it, for we apprehend that in practice the onus probandi will be put upon them, BANK RETURNS.
