ONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The Court of Chancery has ordered the contri butories of the British Exchequer Life Assurance Company to pay a call of 10s. per share by the 9th September, arid the contributories of the Eng lish and Irish Church and University Assurance Society to pay a call of £2 per share by the Ist September. The final instalment of 9 per cent. falls due to morrow (Wednesday) on the Italian Maremmana Railway Loan for £1,338,000. The undermen tioned loan instalments fall due next month, less the amounts already paid in full:— Date. Loan. Amount. Sept. 1 Turkish lO per cent. ~ 1 Egpytian, first issue 7 : 4; ;, 1, 1 )1 se cond issue .... 20 „ ~ 10 Russian „17 Peruvian The instalment on the first issue of the Egyptian Loan is the final one, and in reality amounts to only 4 per cent., as 3-1,- per cent. will have to be allowed for the half-year's interest. The payment on the second issue of this loan is also subject to a similar reduction. About £27,000 in gold was taken to the Bank to-day, making a total of £244,000 since the last return. A further considerable amount is expected to be bought by the Bank during the present week. On the other hand, 110,000 sovereigns were with drawn from that establishment to-day for transmis sion to Constantinople, probably in payment fo4. internal stock sold here, The next shipment of gold to Peru will not exceed £220,000. There was no alteration of importance this after noon in the continental exchanges. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the extremely low range of quotations urrent in discount circles, and the very moderate requirements of the mercantile community, the market is rather sensitive, and whenever an in crease of demand is experienced immediate advantage is taken to ask higher terms for the negotiation of com mercial securities. A few days ago when the enquiry slackened, and it was found that gold was arriving steadily from Australia, Ame rica, &c., a slight relaxation was conceded, and paper, for which 2 per cent. had been previously asked, was taken without much hesitation at li per cent., and in exceptional casts at 1 per cent. Yesterday, however, the supply of bills on offer was decidedly larger, and the rates returned to 2 per cent., which again became the minimum in the general market as well as at the Bank of England. To-day there is very little, if any, change to record, `the applications being numerous, and renewed firm mess is perceptible. In the Stock Exchange, how ever, the supplies are in excess of the wants of the holders of Government securities, and 1 to 11 per cent. are the terms for temporary advances. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and about 5-10th per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The bullion operations at the Bank of England, since the date of the last weekly return, have com prised the influx of £244,000 in gold and the with drawal of 150,000 sovereigns. The stock of specie has no doubt been influenced to some ex tent by the large increase in the circulation of coin throughout the agricultural districts during the progress of the harvest. Two o'CLocK. There is very little business in progress at the Stock Exchange to day, and the attendance of members within the last week has been consider ably reduced. Even Turkish and Egyptian stocks, recently so active, now give rise to transactions scarcely sufficient to create activity. Upon the whole, however, most securities are well main tained, speculation for a fall being discouraged by the easiness of money, the brilliant harvest weather, and other favourable considerations. Consols, how ever, appear rather heavy, and an adverse effect seems to have been produeed by the uncertainty felt with regard to Italian politics. Consols are 93 931 for money and the 4th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 93 ; Red Sea Telegraph Annuities, 2l y. India Stock has advanced to 230, and the 5 per Cent. Loan is firm at log. Very little business is recorded in Foreign Secu rities, and prices exhibit steadiness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 851 ; ditto, 1858, 711 d ; ditto, New Loan Scrip, 1 1 dis. ; and the Internal Debt is 321 33. Italian 5 per Cents. have receded to 681; Mexican to 2917 Portuguese Scrip to 2-Z- prem. ; Russian 5 per Cents. are 97; ditto, New Loan Scrip, is steady at par, 1 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip, £75 paid, is 12 prem. ; ditto, £2O paid, 2d issue, 10 I prem. Less firmness has been produced in the Railway Share Market by a few speculative sales, Great Northerns, Brightons, and Midlands, have receded about 55.; and Great Westerns, South Easterns, dnd North Eastern (Berwick), 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without variation. South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian, however, have receded to 211 i; Recife and San Francisco realise 18-a! ; Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced to 211; and Great Western of Canada are flat at 131; East Indian have de clined to 1048 8. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some instances rather flatter. Union of London have receded to 31; Ottoman Bank to 28i ; and Crystal Palace Debentures have improved to 1101.

The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at one a'clock this afternoon in the London Tavern; Mr. Horatio Love, chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The CHAIRMIN moved the adoption of the report, which has already appeared in the sun. Mr. ADAMS remarked the.: the report was a good one, and supposed the shareholders must be satisfied with the state of affairs, seeing the dividend was increased. After some further discussion, the report was adopted. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting ofthe Southampton Dock Com pany took place to-day--Mt. G. E. Pratt Barlow in the chair—when a report was real, which stated that accounts now submitted to the proprietors showed a net revenue, after payment of the interest on the debenture debt, of the divi dends on the preference stocks, and of all working expenses, repairs, &c., for the half-year ended the 30th June, 1862, amounting to £7,604 19s 4d ; add surplus carried over from last half• year, £2,141 3s 3d—making a total of £9,749 2s 7d. From this the directors recommended that a dividend be declared for the half-year of £2 per cent., payable on the 3d of Sept. next (being at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum), amounting on £360,350 ordinary stock, to £7,207, leaving a surplus to be carried forward, of £2,542 2s 7d. The re venue has thus not only afforded a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, but also an addition of nearly £4OO to the surplus to be carried forward. The Chairman having mcved the adoption of the report, a proprietor proceeded to ask 27 questions, of which he had given notice, amid the impatience of the meeting, after which the report was adopted. THE FORGERY OF X 2,000 ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND. MANSION-HOUSE THIS DAY. George Wilkin, a respectably dressed young man, about 20 years of age, but who, on his apprehension, described himself as George Samuel Stokes, of Arbustus Hill, Galway, was again placed at the bar before Alderman Challis on remand, for a further examination on a charge of forging the endorsement of an order for £2,000, and uttering such order with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The circumstances of tha case, which appeared in the columns of The Sun on Friday last, are of a novel and peculiar character ; the prisoner, on the morning of Thurs day last went to the Bank of England and handed a bill to Mr. Gough, one of the cashiers, and asked to have it changed for notes ; the bill purporting to be a draught of the Bank of Ireland for £2,000, dated the 20th of August last, payable on demand to the order of John Robinson, Esq., signed " W. Patten," and directed to the cashiers of the Bank of England, The prisoner, on being asked the usual question by the cashier, r ece i ve d t h e amount _ _ in notes specified by himself, and endorsed the cheque with the name of " John Robinson," 17, Albert-street, Bedford-square, and in about half an hour afterwards he returned to the hall of the bank and endeavoured to change fire of the £lOO notes he had previously received for gold and smaller notes, and on this occasion endorsed his name on the notes as " John Stokes," Cheapside ; some surprise was created, and, on inquiry in the drawing-office, it was found the notes formed part of those paid to the prisoner in change for the draft of £2,001), in the name of Robinson ; he was identified by Mr. Gough, the cashier, and given into custody. The case was remanded to give time for further inquiry, and to enable the prisoner to communicate with his friends. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, appeared in a very depressed state of mind. It appears he was a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Page and John, stockbrokers, Dean street, Dublin. Mr. Craven, inspector of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, was the first witness examined, and said he produced a war rant, signed by George Vyse, Esq., a magistrate of that dis trict, in which the prisoner was charged with uttering a forged cheque for £2,000 on the Bank of Ireland, and in payment of which he received the £2,000 bill on the Bank of England, in the name of his employers, Messrs. Page and John, of Dub:in, with intent to defraud the Bank of Ireland. He now asked that the prisoner might be de livered up to him for transmission to Dublin. In reply to Mr. Goodman, the chief elerk, the prisoner, in a faint voice, admitted he was the person named in the warrant; he had no legal adviser, and did not desire to ask any questions of the witnesses, or make any statement. Mr. Barron, a solicitor from Dublin, said he appeared on behalf of the Bank of Ireland, and asked that the prisoner might be remitted to the custody of the Dublin police in• spector ; and he would see that he was taken to Ireland, where he was instructed to prosecute the prisoner for the forgery committed there. Alderman Challis told the prisoner that upon the appli cation just made he was bound tc order his delivery up to the officer for transmission to Ireland, to be dealt with by the tribunals there. The prisoner made no remark, but quietly walked from the dock. He will be allowed to remain in Newgate for to-night, and to-morrow he will be conveyed in custody to Dublin. Mr. Goodman said that in tha meantime Messrs. Fresh field, the solicitors to the Bank of England, would act as the sequestrators of the money obtained by the prisoner at the Bank, and its apportionnaest would be determined after the trial of the prisoner. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. A f quantity of new English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, in tolerably good condition. For all qualities the trade ruled inactive, at Monday's de cline in the quotations. There was a large show of foreign wheat on the stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes of grain vere in slow request, at about previous rates. The trade for barley, owing to the small quantity on offer, was firm, at full currencies. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late quota [one. Oats, being in only moderate supply, sold steadily, at quite former terms. Beans and peas ruled firm, and their value was well maintained. Flour met a slow sale, and American qualities were some what cheaper than on Monday. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oath. Floor. English-- 1,040 I 10 1,110 1 360 sack..

ASSAULT BY A CABMAN.—John Keevil, badge 2,004, a cabdriver, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and cab, and also assaulting James Price, 315 A. The constable saw a large crowd assembled in Charles.. street, Haymarket, at about one this morning, and on going up to see the cause found the prisoner with a horse and cab by his side, bleeding profusely from a wound on the head, he having fallen from his cab while in a state of in toxication. He then took the prisoner to the Vine-street station-house, and on the way the prisoner kicked his legs from under him, causing him to fall on his forehead, which was swollen in consequence, and the rest of the way the prisoner was very violent. Prisoner said he remembered being drunk, but nothing about the assault. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was too bad. Besides being drunk with his horse and cab he assaulted the constable. He should commit him for 14 days. WESTMINSTER. A RUFFIAN LIGHTLY PUNISIIED.—Edward Copley, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was charged with the following disgraceful assault upon a police constable Police-constable Watson, 167 B, said at 20 minutes to 10 / he was on duty in the Fulham-road, when he was told that he was wanted at Mrs. Audrey's, the Black Lion, Oakham street. On going there he was told that the defendant had broken a pane of glass and a beer glass, and found him drunk. He was directed to turn him out by the landlady, and asked him to go quietly, upon which the defendant struck him a violent blow in the face with his fist. Witness told him that would not do, he had better go away quietly, and put his hand upon the accused's shoulder to eject him, when the defendant seized him by the back of the head, and dashed his face against two panes of glass, which were broken by the violence of the blow, and witness's face cut about, as could Row be seen. [Witness's face was covered with sticking plaister, and was very seri ously cut.) Witness then got the defendant out, when he knocked him down and kicked him. Witness got up again, when the defendant knocked him down again, and con tinned to strike and kick him for a quarter of an hour. Ultimately he procured assistance, and the defendant was conveyed to the station. John Vine Toovey, late a licensed victualler, assisting Mrs. Andrews, corroborated the constable's testimony. The policeman was very quiet, but the defendant behaved in a most brutal manner. Inspector Butler having intimated that the defendant had frequently been charged with assaulting the police, Defendant admitted the charge, and said he was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. Dayman committed him to prison for a month. SOUTHWARK. A HOARY SINNER.—Henry Kemp, aged 66, a varnish maker, residing at Jamaica Level, Bermondsey, was charged with indecently assaulting Jemima Clark and Mary Ann Stewart. Jemima Clark, having bcen sworn, said that she lived at Glebe-terrace, Rotherhithe, and that she and Mary Ann Stewart met the prisoner yesterday about 11 o'clock in the morning, near the Spa-road station, as they were going to school. He asked her the day before to go with him to Camberwell, and she told him that her father would not allow her. He asked them to go with him to London bridge, which they did, and the other girl went away. He then took her on board a steamboat, and they went as far as Ilungerford-bridge, when they got out. They had some dinner in the neighbourhood, after which they went to Islington, and then he wanted her to come into a house in Suffolk-street, in the City-road (a most infamous locality). She refused to da so, and a young woman interfered aad took her away from him. A policeman was then called and the parties were taken before the magistrate at Clerken well. Mr. Binns, who appeared for the prisoner, said that the whole of the:case had been before the magistrate at that court, and he dismissed the case in the first instance. His client was in a moat respectable station of life, and it was not until some conversation had taken place between the constable and the witness that he considered it necessary to send the parties to this court, the offences alleged being out of his jurisdiction. Police-constable 83 G proved to having taken the pri soner into custody at Clerkenwell, and to the witness hav ing made a statement to the effect that he had behaved in decently to her on a previo4? occasion. She was twelve her last birthday. Jemima Clark's examination was then resumed. She said that she and Mary Ann Stewart had been asked last Saturday to go to his house the day following, which they did. He let them in, and they saw no other person in the house. They went into the kitchen, and he put his hand under her clothes and then pulled them up. Stewart was present at the time. The prisoner had given them some walnuts and plums, and the day before he gave her a penny. Stewart told her before they went to his house on Sunday that he had taken liberties with her. He hurt her when he put his hands under her clothes, and it was then she told him to leave off, which he did. At that time she was sitting down and he was sitting oppssite her. She was not in the room altogether more than a minute, and she went into another room, leaving Stewart alone with the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—She lived wlth her father, who was a carpenter, and she had three brothers and three sisters. When she returned home on Sunday she did not say anything to her father about what had oc curred. She was examined by a doctor, after which the magistrate at Clerkenwell dismissed the prisoner. It was only when she had spoken to the polic, man that the magis trate sent the case for trial to this court. The witness, in reply to Mr. Burcham, said that the prisoner had not Leen guilty of any further indecency to wards her, and she would have gone to Camberwell with him if her father had allowed her. Mary Ann Stewart was sworn, and said that she lived at Stephens's Cottages, Rotherhi he, with her father, who was a tanner, and her mother. She was in the habit of going to the prisoner's house, and last Friday he took liberties with her. She and the last witness went to his house on Sunday. Ho put down his trousers and behaved most indecently towards her, and Clarke was present at the time. He hurt her very much. She was in the house with him beforo and he treated her the same way each time. On one occasion he gave her sixpence and desired her not to tell her mother what took place between them. She allowed him to do what he liked to her. She was 13 years of age. The other girl was with her all the time she was at the prisoner's house last Friday, and aaw all the pri soner had done to her. He gave her (Clarke) twopence on Sunday. Mr. Binns submitted that there was no case against the prisoner according to the evidence, and from the fact that the girls were consenting parties. Mr. Burcham said that both girls being above 12 years of age, a period when, according to law, they might be con senting parties, which from their evidence they appeared to be, he regretted ho could not punish the prisoner for his gross misconduct. He must be discharged. Mr. Dinns advised the accused to get home as quickly as possible to avoid the violence with which it was not un likely he might be treated by the women, a hint which was promptly adopted by the party, who left the court with a celerity unusual at his advanced age.

'EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. —At the Public-office, Birmingham, yesterday, a man named James Clegg, who has been in the service of Messrs. Glover and Co., cried fruit merchants, of Liverpool, as traveller, was charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging to his employers. Clegg resided in Bir mingham, and on Saturday last his wife called upon a mem ber of the firm resident in the town, and handed to him a list of defalcations to the amount of £228. This was made out by the prisoner himself ; there was a further sum of £l2O, which the prisoner stated he had remitted to Liver pool, but which had never been releived. Clegg had a salary of £2OO ; the amount of his defalcations will, it was said, be little short of £l,OOO. On the application of Mr. Alfred Suckling, who appeared for the firm, a remand was granted for a week. REPRESENTATION OF STOKE -UPON-TRENT.— Mr. Sergeant Sheo has come forward as the Liberal can date for this borough, on the death of Mr. Ricardo. The Address to the electors was issued yesterday. It expresses his approval of the commercial policy of the Government, and in particular the treaty negotiated by Mr. Cobden with France, and thinks " the sooner the struggle about church rates is brought, by their entire abolition, to a conclusion the better. He is for as large an Extension of elective fran chise, in favour of the skilled operatives, "as may enable them, consistently with the due constitutional influence of the wealthier and less numerous classer, to exercise a sen sible and wholesome action on public affairs." No scheme of Reform will, in his opinion, be effectual without the pro tection of the ballot. As to education, it should, in his opinion, be based upon and elevated to its highest object by religicn. He thinks the policy of non-intervention in the affairs of foreign States a wise one. As to America he says : "The bitterest enemies of England must acknowledge that as respects the unhappy contest between the Northern and Southern provinces of the United States of America the policy of our Government has been marked by the most friendly and magnanimous disinterestedness. We call the county of Lancashire to bear witness to the sincerity of our good wishes for the glory and integrityof the great Repub lic. Should the recognition of the Confederate States be come as seems probable, an act of public right and justice, I trust it may be accompanied by securities for the gradual abolition of slavery." Mr. Beresford Hope is actively can vassing the borough on the Conservative side. At a meet ing of Liberals, held at Hanley on Monday evening, reso lutions in favour of a- second Liberal candidate, Mr. IL Cireutel, were carried. THAMES. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT or A SAlLOR.—William Fitz patrick, a sailor, was charged before Mr. Selfe with assault ing Ellen Cleary, an unfortunate, and with smashing a large quantity of her property at 14, Frederick-street, St. George-in-the East. Complainant stated that the prisoner was a stranger to her, and that she met him the previous night in the street, about 10 o'clock. She took him to her room, when he said that he had no money, and that he would deposit some of his clothes with her. She took them from him, and put them in a bed room. After a short time he insisted on having his clothes. She refused to let him have them till he paid her. Upon her refusal he took up a poker and threatened to strike her. She called out " Murder," when he commenced breaking her furniture, and did not cease until he broke every thing in her room. Mr. Selfe—What did he break P Complainant—Six pictures, a looking glass, and several other things, besides the door of the room. Mr. Selfo (to the prisoner)—What do you say to this ? Prisoner stated that he was drunk, and fell to sleep. When he awoke he missed his clothes, and she was going to turn him out. Mr. Selfe—You have no right to break the woman's things. Have you your clothes? Hoare, 178 11, said that he had, He (witness) found them in a back room. The prisoner was fined 20s. or 14 days. PICKPOCKETS AT THE TOWEL—William Anderson, a young man, respectably dressed, and Jane Cox, a young woman, were charged with being at the Tower for an un lawful purpose. Donovan, 129 H, said that in consequence of the nume rous robberies daily committed at the Tower upon the visi tors, he was appointed on duty there to endeavour to detect the thieves. Upon going to the jewellery room he saw the prisoners going towards it. Knowing that the male pri soner was an associate of thieves, and had been previously convicted, ho went up to him, when he said, " Believe me, Mr. Donovan, lam not comic hi re to do anything." Wit ness told him that he should take him to the station-house. There the prisoners were searched, and on each of them WM' found a ticket of admission to the jewellery gallery. They had been previously to the armoury. _ _ Mr. Selfe—What do you know of the prisoners? Witness—l know nothing of the female. The other prisoner was charged at this court a short time ago. Roche, the gaoler, corroborated this statement. The female was discharged, and the other prisoner was sent to prison for a month.

Pope, had been lost on the 13th July last off the Cape of Good Hope. The Perekop was owned in Liverpool, we under" dud, by Messrs, DM and Co. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 26. Something like a reign of terror still prevails in Tipperary. Mr. William Scully, brother of the member for the county of Cork, travels about on business accompanied by two armed policemen, who keep a sharp 100k -out at cross roads, short turns, and in the neighbourhood of walls and hedges. Ho always carries arms, and takes care that the road he is to take is not known. He mistrusts every one, even the postman who is obliged to Place Mr. Scully's letters and papers on the ground before be comes within pistol-shot. It has been suggested that it would be more pradent for this gentleman to change his residence than to be ex posed to such tremendous risks. It will not be easy to evade the persevering, patient hatred of his enemies ; but it sometimes happens, even in Ireland, that " threatened people live long." A medical gentleman residing in Carrick-on-Suir has been threatened because, on being summoned, he gave evidence at the inquest on the remains of Michael Maguire, who was murdered for taking a farm from which another man had been evicted. The medical gentleman marked out for assassination because he told the truth on his oath is said to be remarkably humane, giving his time and medical skill gratuitously for the relief of the poor. Thus the best benefactors of the people are doomed by this horrid system of assassination. All the landlords in the Glen of Aberlow have received notice, by a placard posted on the gate of Captain George Massey Dawson, of New Forest. Hayes, son of the notorious Michael, has had the audacity to send a memorial to the Lord-Lieutenant, praying that be may be released froth prison, on the false pretence that he is in a dangerous state of health. It is supposed that his object in malinger ing was to get out of prison in order to assist his father to evade the police. In the same neighbour hood a man was 'charged with having in his posses. sion a " pike" of the true Mitchell stamp, said to be a relic of '4B, which he kept "for the protection of his kitchen garden." He was deprived of the wea pon, but, in consequence of the good character he received, the magistrates did not punish him farther. In the county of Longford the constabulary have collected 50 stand of arms from the people, some of them in fine condition. They consisted of guns, pistols, swords, and bayonets. In the course of their search for arms they found a set of mail bags lost so far back as October, 1859, and which contained money to the amount of £lOO. They were found in the house of a farmer named Murphy, and they are in a good state of preservation. There is a set of young women in the South Dublin Union workh ouse who are incorrigible savages. They have been imprisoned several times for outrages, and nothing seems capable of reclaim ing them. On Sunday night the mistress of the probationary ward locked up. the girls es usual in their dormitory at the regular hour, 7 o'clock, when there was no sign of anything wrong. Between 10 and 11 o'clock they piled up the beds and bedding, set fire to them, and, having escaped through a window, they looked on from the yard at the opera tion of the flames. Property to the amount of £4O was destroyed before the fire was discovered, and had it not been extinguished in time a number of lives would have been lost. They confessed the crime, and seemed to exult in it with the most brazen impudence. It is surely an abuse of the poor-house system to be pampering such persons in idleness and vice HEALTH OF LONDON .DURING TEE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London now exhibit that increase which is usually seen in the bills of mortality at this season, when diarrhea or summer cholera is a prevailing complaint. In the week that ended last Saturday they rose to 1,254. If the deaths from epidemic cholera in the 34th week of the year 1854 are excluded from the returns on which a corn-1 parison is based, it may be shown that the mortality of last week exceeded by 60 the average mortality of corresponding weeks in 1862-61, after correction of the latter is made for increase of population. In the first week of the current month the deaths from diarrhcea were 89; in the second, 116; last week they were 123. A large proportion of these 123 cases occurred to in fants, for only 15 deaths from diarrhcea were returnel as having occurred to persons above three years of age. The disease was fatal in 6 cases in the sub-district of St. John, Marylebone, in 6 in the West sub-district of Islington, in 5 in Mile-end Old Town West, in Bin Popar, and in sin the second sub-district, Waterloo-road. Besides the deaths re ferred to diarrhcea, 7 from cholera or choleraic diarrhcea were returned, and these also were chiefly amongst children. A man, aged 36 years, died at 374, Caledonian-road, of English cholera, after seven days' illness. A child, aged four months, died of " scurvy ; hydrocephalus since birth." There were 9 deaths in the week from smallpox, two of which were those of adults. Typhus and scarlatina were fatal in nearly equal numbers of cases, the former in 69, the latter in 68 ; diphtheria numbered 16 deaths ; measles declined to 39. Last week the births of 942 boys and 908 girls, in all 1850 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1852.61 the average number (corrected) was 1772. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29,803 in. The reading rose from 29.65 in. on Sunday to 33.04 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.6 deg., which is 1.1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 74.8 deg. on Tuesday ; the lowest night temperature was 46.8 dog. on Saturday. The range of the thermometer in the week was 28 deg. The mean dailyrange was 17.1 deg. The range on Sunday was 5.4 deg. ; on Tues day it was 25.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 3.5 deg, The mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete satura tion being represented by 100 —the point attained on Sunday. The wind was in the north en the first two days ; afterwards in the south-west and west. Rain fell to the amount of 1.57 in., of which no less than 1.27 in. fell on Sunday (the 17th). On that day there was rain almost without inter mission till midnight. The thermometer in the sun rose to 122.7 deg. on Tuesday. The mean of the highest tem perature of the water of the Thames was 91 deg. ; the mean of the lowest was 61.8 deg.: FRANCE TO HALY. (From Punch.) Italians, you but waste your breath, The right you cry for stands no chance; You raise the shout of " Rome or Death I " And " Death!" is the reply of France. Yes, death, my friends, for I an: strong; France is resolved to have her way; Her will is law which, right or wrong, The weak must perish or obey. Your claim of Rome I must refuse For I don't want you to become Tco independent. and I choose To keep you underneath your thumb.

The Eldest Daughter of the Church Must needs defend her parent's Head, And keep the Pontiff on his perch, Although upon your necks he tread. Creeds may by her be turned to sport, Or dogmas carelessly ignored, But France must Popery support As an Idea, with the sword. To suppliants what I did not grant Claimants from me shall never wring; To stern demand of course I can't Think of conceding such a thing. Honour forbids me to concede, To menace, what is justly due; Then how you strike for Rome, take heed : Death is your portion if you do. A generous nation am I not ? Of progress don't I lead the van ? Befriend the struggling patriot? And vindicate the Rights of Man? Ah I yes, but I must domineer, So cannot call my forces home.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 26.—For yarns we have had a more excited market even than that of last week, and at a considerable advance in prices. In an ex ceptional state of the market like the present of course prices are irregular and vary considerably. Even the reports are widely at variance with each other as to the extent of advance in prices, but mostly agree as to a state of great excitement pre vailing. Some reports fix the rise in prices since Friday at Id. to ld. and upwards per lb., and others at rather more. One of the leading agents says the advance has ranged at 2d. to 3d. per lb., compared with last Tuesday's quotations. All classes of buyers have eagerly sought after yarns to-day. Whether made of Surat or American cotton it has been all the same to buyers apparently, so that they could get kold of desirable parcels. The feeling among nearly all classes of buyers has been to have yarns at some Price, without appearing to care very much what they had to give. The advance upon cloth has been less marked, but the high prices and continued .ex. citement in the Liverpool cotton market have had an effect here upon the small stocks of cloth in first hands, and they have readily found purchasers at 6d. per piece higher than could be obtained last week. Available lots of all kinds of cloth were in request, and prices are nominally quoted at a much greater advance than that above stated. It is un derstood that most of the business is speculative . The low price of cloth, as compared with that of cotton, has latterly induced a more active spirit of speculation in this market, though hitherto we have had but little of it as eompared with Liverpool. The speculation in Liverpool approaches in recklessness the mania for which 1845 was so remarkable in railway shares. At Liverpool people of both sexes, • quite unconnected with the trade (and many of whom perhaps never saw a bale of cotton, have placed their money at the disposal of brokers, from £lOO upwards, and no doubt many have reaped large profits on these ventures. The increased risk is shown in the fact that while some of the brokers in the first instance were content with £1 per bale to cover possible losses (or as they are called in Caa share market, "differences"), they now require a deposit of £lO per bale and upwards. Outsiders were early in the field as speculators in yarn and cloth, but the chief operators recently, from the magnitude of their purchases, are mostly large ca-• pitalists, and one holder of cloth was spoken of last week who was in a position at the then market pri ce to realise a profit of £lBO,OOO. In the early part of last week the market was almost wild with the spirit of speculation. Old stocks of cloth, of 6,000 to 10,000 pieces, which had lain unsaleable in ware houses for a number of years, were fished up and found purchasers. Some of them were the worse in colour—almost yellow, it is said ; but the salesmen had dexterously slipped out the fa c t a t t h e right moment that they were made entirely of American cotton, and now that goods of this description are becoming exceedingly scarce it was found to be a talisman that was irresistible. Captain Palin's report of the state of employment again shows unfavourably, the numb er i n full em ployment this week being only (in Manchester) 21,817 against 22,1211a5t week. The number partly employed is 13,794 this week against 13,980 last week. The number totally out of employ is 12,345 against 11,883 last week. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING.
