MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-SATURDAY. The discount market presented no new feature. The rates for good bills remain at 19 to 2 per cent. At the Bank of England the demand was of an ave. rago character for a Saturday. The accounts from the Vienna Bourse continue to indicate some distrust, owing, no doubt, to the ac counts from Italy. The ninth call of £2, making £l9 paid, is to be paid on the shares in the Ottoman Railway Com pany by the 17th October. The half-yearly meet ing of this company will be held on the 29th Sep tember. The Peruvian agents have published the numbers of the Uribarren and Arica and Tacna Railway Bonds which have been cancelled under the action of the redemption fund for the six months ending the Ist ult. The amount of gold taken to the Bank to• day was £lO,OOO. The steamer Australasian, from New York, has brought 178,000 in specie. CITY . NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts last week continue moderately active. Business at Manchester, however, was in some measure interfered with by the advanced prices demanded for both cloths and yarns. The woollen trade at Leeds remained without material change, while at Bradford and Huddersfield there has been more animatio❑ in most departments. At Leicester and Nottingham a steady business has been done in hosiery and lace goods, while in the hardware dis tricts, viz., at BirMingham, Shtffield, and Wolver barnPten, there has been little change of importance. Th:•re is rather less inquiry for discount accom modation in the general market as well as at the Bank of England, and the rates show a tendency towards greater easinesp, although the alteration hitherto has been of a fractional character. Never• theless, there is an abund int supply of money, and as there is still but a moderate demand for com tnercial purposes, competition is stimulated, and those who require assistance are enabled to obtain on very favourable terms. _ . Notice has been given that a portion of the cou pons of the South Carolina Railway Bonds, which became due on the let ultimo, will be paid in Lon don daily, and that arrangements have been made for the payment of the remaining portion in Char:eston. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes Opened at 68.72, being about 1-16 per cent. better than on Saturday. The Liverpool cotton market continues strong, and sales about 10,000 bales, at the highest quota tions of last week. The English Stock market has presented a more buoyant appearance, and a few speculative pur chases have led to a rise of t per cent., Consols being 931 { for money and the 4th proximo. The transactions are still exceedingly limited, but the continued fineness of the weather has caused a better feeling to prevail.

HENRY would scarcely be proper to pass from the mention of William of Malmesbnry without chronicling what he re cords of the state of trade in other parts of England during this reign. Bristol he speaks of as "a celebrated town, and a port for vessels coming from Ireland, Norway, other countries."." Henry 11., i n t h e e l eventh year of an d reign, gave the burgesses a charter. Chester he speaks of as "situated in a poor country, producing scarcely any wheat, though there is abundance of cat tle and fish, the poor live on milk and butter, the rich on flesh." Bread made of barley or rye is thought a dainty. Some trade with Ireland supp'ies the place with such necessaries as nature has denied to it. Dunwich is spoken of as a famous se-port, stored with various kinds of riches. Norwich was a papulous town famous for its commerce. Lynn as a city distinguished for commerce and abundance, the residence of many wealthy Jews, and resorted to by fo reign vessels. Gritn , by as an emporium resorted to by Merchants from Norway, Scotland, Orkney, and tho Western Islands. Lincoln was one of the most popular seats of home and foreign trade in England, in const quence of the con struction of a canal of sever miles in length, from the Trent at Torksey to the Witham at Lincoln, which had given the Ci ty the command of an extensive inland navigation, and rendered it accessible to foreign vessels. Whitby. Hartle- Deo], and other places on the east coast, are spoken of as Possessing vessels; and Berwick as a noble town belonEing t° the King of Scotland, and having more foreign com- Iterce than any town in Scotland, and many ships.— %Per' s Port and Trade of London. CoMMERCg OF ENGLAND UNDER ALFRED THE GREA T —lf Alfred did not establish England as a com mercial nation, he went far to lay a sound foundation for elaromerce. Tbere is no doubt that he obtained geographi cal i nformation respecting the Baltic and White Seas. He 4180 made great improvements in shipbuilding, an d i n t h e l ecce of navigation ; and one of his laws show s th a t h e h ad due r es p ec t f or f o reigners arriving in England, fur he made regulations for their piotection. In a succeeding I.ei nt Ring Athelstan allured his sabjects to engage in t:,lntzterce, by n law which conferred the rank of Thane on suet y merchant who made three voyages over the sea with 'vessel and care o of his own; but the greatness of this i„ tcW ard would seem to indicate how few there were in the it has who were capable at that time of acquiring it • for 1 1 .".', 48 been well observed that ' 9 if many English merchants ts been traded to foreign countries, or if many of them had en Ca pable of fitting out and loading vessels, this attempt 15 f .A.th the natural advantages of their insular situation, would been neither ncceskary nor proper."—CaPper's Port "44 Trade of LondOn. ,~ ~... 6.IIARE MARKET-THIS DAY.

MARK LANE. Wheat was in fair reques in the country markets held on Saturday, at very full prices. The supplies on offer were small. For barley, oats, beans and peas, including flour, there was a steady demand, and the quotations were well supported. Most of the Continental markets have been steady for quotations. In the United States, the inquiry for wheat and flour has ruled active, for export to Great Britain. Somewhat increased, but small, supplies of home-grown produce were received up to cur market last week. The im ports from abroad were 25 847 quarters of wheat ; 7,688 barley; 36,945 oats; 1,263 beans ; 230 peas ; 2,668 linseed; 1,626 rapseed ; 427 sacks and 12,478 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of new English wheat were only moderate, but there was a decided improvement in the condition of most samples compared with Monday last. The trade, however, owing to the favourable weather, ruled heavy, and the prices realised were 2s. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. We did not observe any old home-grown produce on the stAnds. The show of samples of foreign wheat was seasonably good. For nearly all descriptions the trade was in a slug glish state, and I,rices gave way is per quarter compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of erain were in slow request, at about previous rates. Very little barley was on offer, either new English or old foreign, and the trade ruled firm, prices of all qualities being well supported. Malt changed hands slowly, yet no change took place in its value, Very few English oats were on sale, but the supply of foreign produce was moderately extensive. On the whole, the demand ruled steady, and the quotations were fairly maintained. Beans, the supply of which was small, commanded ex treme rates. For peas there was a steady inquiry, and the currencies ruled firm. In flour a fair average business was transacted, at, for the most part, previous, but in some instances rather lower, prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day. The quality of the beasts and lambs was very middling ; of the sheep and calves good. A large number of beasts came fresh to hand from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland. From, Scotland, however, the receipts were trifling. The attend ance of buyers was tolerably extensive; nevertheless, the beef trade was in a Very inactive state, and in some in stances the quotations declined 2d per 81bs. However, the best Scots realised 48 10d, though the general top figure did not exceed 4s 8d per Blbs. From Lincoln hire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 3,000 short-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crusses ; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers. For the time of year the show of sheep was moderate; but the quality of each breed was by no means prime. Downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale at full prices. Otherwise, the mutton trade was very inactive at last week's quotations. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with lambs. Prime breeds were taken off freely at full prices; but inferior lambs were a dull inquiry at late rates. The currencies ranged from 60 to 6s 4d per Blbs. Calves—tbe supply of which was moderate, sold steadily at full prices. There was only a limited inqu'ry for pigs at late quota- Lone. Per Sib. to sink the offal. A. d. s. d. 1 s. d. s. d.

The text attempt to construct a vessel of this kind was made in 1774 by a man named Day, of Yarmouth, who was successful in two descents, and made a third from which he never returned. His first descent was made in a market boat which he adapted for the purpose, and in which he lay under water for twenty-four hours, afterwards as cending to the surface without assistance. This experi ment having been successful, he wrote to a Mr. Blake, whose character as a sporting man he learnt from the " Sporting Calendar," the letter which follows :—" Sir, I have found an affair by which many thousands may be won. It is of a paradoxical nature, but can be performed with ease ; therefore, sir, if you choose to be informed of it, and give me one hundred pounds of every thousand you shall win by it, I will very readily wait upon you and in form you of it. lam myself but a poor mechanic, and not able to make anything by it without your assistance.— Yours, &c., J. Day." An interview ensued i s London, a model was constructed, which was submitted by Mr. Blake to several gentlemen, who approved the design, and Day was then sent back to Yarmouth with the funds requisite for carrying out his idea. When the vessel was completed. Mr. Blake was present when Day made his trial descent with his new vessel in Catwater, at the bottom of which he lay for twelve hours. On the day fixed for the great trial she was towed to a spot, where the depth of the water was twenty fathoms, her inventor shut himself in her, let in the water and disappeared. The twelve hours having elapsed, and there being no &gns of his re appearance, Mr. Blake applied to the captain of the Orpheus frigate, and also to Lord Sandwich for assistance, but all was ineffectual, neither Day nor his vessel wcre ever again seen by mortal eye. There is no description extant of the mode in which this vessel was constructed ; the only infor mation on this point is, that it had a false bottom that held a quantity of ballast that could be detached' when the per son inside desired to return to the surface.— United Service Magazine. THE FRENCH NAVY. _The following article on the great increase of the French naval - forces appears in the Moniteur de 4' Armce : " The present extent of the naval preparations, which re quire the tmploymsnt of a great number of c fficers at sea, is creating serious difficuliy in the service of the seaports. This exceptional situation requirirg that the delivery of certificates of le , ye of absence to n ,val t fficers on account of sickness shall be temporarily restrict( d, the following regu• I.ltions have been adopted in pursu.ince cf an arrangement between the military and naval departments:—ln future, and until further orders, the Generals commanding milie,ry divisions shall not approve nor even transmit to the Minis ter of Marine any request for leave of absence in favour of naval officers. The latter must proceed to a seaport to have their state of health examined by a naval surgeon, and if they are incapable of serving at sea they may be made use ful on land. It is only in ca.se officers cannot possibly sup port the journey that Generals commanding divisions shall make an exception, and transmit requests for a prolonga tion of leave of absence to the Minister of Marine." A letter from Toulon of the 20th says :—" The transport fleet. for Mexico has at last received its final orders, a des patch from the Minister of War Laving decided that the de partures are to take place on the 23d, 25th, and 27th inst. As the steam frigate Vauban and Gomer are now to form part of the squadron, the effective number of the troops will be increased to nearly 10,000 men, for Toulon, Algiers, and Oran. The large horse transport Ardeche has arrived from Rochefort to take on board the cavalry expected from Carcassonne. AGRICULTURAL STATIS7ICS OF IRELAND. A return has been published by the Registrar. General, in anticipation of the general abstracts by counties and provinces, giving in statute acres the extent under fl a in each county in the last two years. The information is of greater interest at present, as the comparison will serve to show to what extent the cultivation of flax has been affected by the greater demand for the article in consequence of the scarcity of cotton. The Daily Express says :—" The result does not show as much enterprise as might have been ex pected. The total number of acres under flax in Ulster in 1861 was 143,206, and in 1862 it is 116,281, being an in crease of 3,078 acres. In the counties of Armagh, Donegal, Fermanagh, Londonderry, and Monaghan, there was a decrease in Donegal to the extent of 1,410 acr s ; but in the other counties there was an increase amounting, inTyrone, to 1,816 acres, and in Down to 2,828 acres. In the province of Leinster tho cultivation has fallen off to the extent of 314 acres ; the only increase—and that to an insignificant amount—being in the counties cf Carlow, Kilkenny, and King's and Queen's Counties, while in all the rest there was a falling off. The totals were 1,131 acres in 1861, against 820 acres in 1862. The returns for Connaught ex hibit a decrease in every county, making altogether 598 acres, the proporticns being 2,083 acres in 1861, and only 1,493 acres in the present year. In Munster, also, except in the counties of Tipperary and Waterford, where there was a slight extension, there has been a decrease amounting to 234 a , res. The totals for this province are 1,529 acres for 1861, and 1,295 acres for 1862. The total average in Ireland under flax now is 149,859 acres, whereas in 1861 it was 147.957 acres, showing an increase of 1,932 acres. in addition to the above calculations, Mr. Donelly publishes a return of the number of acres under flax from the 3 our 1854 up to the present, from which it appears that in that year there were some 2,000 acres more under cultivation than at present, but that a great falling off ,00k place be tween 1851 and 1859, when there was another reaction, and the cultivation was more generally resumed, and has con tinued to increase up to the present." TIIE FATAL CASE OF SHOUTING AT DALSTON.— On Saturday an inquest was held by Mr. Humphreys at the Lord Truro Tavern, Ralston, on the body of Susan D:m mock, itc., , ed 18, who was shot by a young man named Alfred Gleave, a toll collector. There did not appear to have b >en any quarrel between the deceased and Cleave, nor was there any evidence that he was jealous of her. He kept a pistol loaded in the toll-house because he was afraid of the roughs who were about at fair tune. When the de ceased fell he rushed out of the house and exclaimed, Good God what have I done I" Re was greatly excited but had nothing in his hands. Gleave was aLe heard to sly that ho had discharged the pistol, and that he did not know it was loaded. The deceased died from fracture of the skull, caused by a pistol ball passing under the left jaw bow l The inquest was adjourned, LAW- THIS DAY. COURT OF BANRUPTCY. - (B ,-e Mr. Commissioner Fane.) A BOLD APPLICATION.-IN RE ABELIN. This was . n application for release from custody. Mr. I•T• wnian opposed for the detaining creditor on the ground that Mr. C;;mmissioner GoulburlA had refused to discharge the bankrupt until the last examination mooting, which is appointed for Monday next, unless he produced two substantial bail in £5O each. His Honour—Will Mr. Commissioner Goulburn sit on Monday ? Mr. Newman—Yes, sir. His Honour—Then I certainly will not hear any appli cation for release. The b nkrupt was thereupon taken back in custody. IN RE RICHARDSON. In this cause his Honour, a few days since, gave judg. ment, passing the bankrupt's last examination, and declar ing him entitled to his discharge. Mr. Sargood, however, contended that he had not been heard on the question of discharge. _ _ _ Mr, Brough for the bankrupt, contended that the case had been fully argued on the merits on the examination. Mr. Pook for the assignees, made no opposition to the bankrupt passing and having his discharge, and had taken his Honour's judgment as conclusive. Mr. Sargood said that the question of discharge could not be argued until after the bankrupt had passed. Mr. Pook said the learned counsel had been heard on the question of discharge, for he was not entitled to appear for his client on the question of the bankrupt passing his last examination. His Honour said he could not remember all the facts, and the better way would be to appoint a day for discussing the question as to discharge. POLICE -THIS DAY. IVESTMiNSTER. A CITY ARAI3,—A very respectable looking man applied to Mr. Dayman, immediately upon his taking his seat on the bench, respecting a boy 10 years age. Applicant said his attention had been, recently called to the child, whose condition, he thought, was entitled to much commiseration and consideration. lie had been for months wandering about seeking a shelter and food wherever he could procure it, and if anything could be dorie for him it might save him from ruin. Mr. Dayman—Has the boy no friends ? Applicant—He is here now, and will tell you himself that he has neither father nor mother. Mr. Dayman —Has he 113 friends ? Applicant—Non e but a sister, who is unable to do any thing for him, and I think it would be very desirable that he should be got into an avinm, and an opportunity offers. Mr. Dad man--An opportunity offers, you say—where P Applicant—At the industrial school at Walthamstow, if your worship thinks fit. Mr. Darman (to the boy)—Where have you been lately? Boy—Living with tbis here man here (pointing to a rough labouring man). Mr. Dayman—Where do you get ycu r f oo d from? Boy—Anywheres. Mr. Dayman—Where have you got it from lately P Boy—This here man here. The man—l have known the boy from childhood, and have looked to him a little of late. Mr. Da3 man—l don't think that this boy comes under the class of persons to be sent to industrial schools. Applicant—Don't you think he does, sir P Mr. Dayman—lf he is to be sent to one, every boy who is without parents may be. He has a lawful claim on the parish, who are bound to look to him and do everything that is necessary for his instruction and maintenance; the line must be drawn somewhere. You may take him to the workhouse, and they are bound to give hint the needful assistance. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Morris De Winton, a tall, gentlemanly man, who gave the address, Brompton, Chatham, was oharged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pair of e‘rrings from the person of Amelia Herbert while in a brougham in Great Windmill-street. The complainant, a stylishly-dressed female, who' said she resided at 16, Grove-place, Brompton, said that on Friday evening week she met the prisoner, and he invited her to go out the next -clay with him in a brougham. She did so, and they drove about all day, and at night he stopped the brougham in Great Windmill-street and got out, and said he would return in a few minutes. She waited in the brougham for two hours, and, finding he did not come back, she put her hands to her ease and missed her earrings. The coachman then drove her home. She afterwards found that the prisoner had taken a lady wearing a round hat to a supper room in the Haymarket, and left ber ear-rings in pledge for the value of the supper and a loan of 15s. Richard Martin, the coachman, proved driving the pro secutrix and the prisoner about all the Saturday—amongst other places, to acme Count's. The prisoner get out of the brougham in Great Windmill-street, and left the lady in side. After waiting two hours the lady asked him whether he thought the gentleman would come back, and he told her that he had serious doutts, for the gentleman had not spoken to him in a " gentlemanlified" manner. It was raining at the time, and, through being kept out in the wet, he (witness) had got the lumbago. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry Salmon, of 67, Haymarket, keeper of supper rooms, said the prisoner brought a female to the rooms— not the prosecutrix—and had supper, and left the earrings with him, and he lent him 15s. Prosecutrix identified the earrings. Prisoner asked the rposecutrix whether he had not taken her earrings by her consent, and she denied it. Price, 3:5 A, said in taking prisoner into custody, he ad mitted leaving the earrings with Mr. Salmon. The prisoner, who said he was well connected, and that the count spoken of was the Count de Manby, and that he could give the highest references, being known at the Army and Navy Club, was remanded. SOUTHWARK. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC—ANOTHER CASE OF UTTER ING FORGED CHEQUES.—WiIIiam Hoidham, a respectable lad, aged 19 years, was charged with uttering forged cheques to different tradesmen in the Borough, and it ap peared that the prisoner had been recently tried at the Cen tral Criminal Court, but acquitted in consequence of the charge not having been fully established. Henry Wallis, 79 V, in whose custody the prisoner was brought before the magistrate, stated that for some time ti e prisoner had been leading a very gay life, and indulg ing in sporting propensities to a consideral le extent. He was in the habit of putting up at taverns and hiring horses without deeming it necessary to give any pecuniary recom pense; but h.- lett on one occasion some property as a quid pro quo, which he subsequently endeavoured to pledge. For some time he continued this course of conduct, and ulti mately he was detected, and committed from Westminster police-court to the Central Criminal Court. On his ac quittal ho was taken into custody on the present charge. Mrs. Tabithe Dodge stated that sho was a coach broker, and resided at No. 147, Blackfriars-road. On the 29th of June the prisoner hired a chaise, and on his returning it he gave her a cheque on the Bank of London, which he stated belonged to his master, and he further observed, " It is all right." The cheque was for £2, and she gave the prisoner 305., the charge for the chaise being 10s. The cheque was presented at the bank, but was immediately pronounced a forgery. She heard nothing further about the prisoner until last week, when she was informed by the police that he had been committed to Newgate on charges of de frauding tradesmen. It appeared further that there were several other cases of a similar character against the prisoner, and the constable applied for a remand until Saturday, when he expected to produce evidence in support of these cases. Remanded until Saturday. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN TIGER BAY.--Susan Organ, or Hogan, a masculine woman, aged 40, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding Mary Ann Mahoney. The prosecutrix appeared in the witness -box with her head enveloped in surgical plaisters, and her dress stif fened with gore. She lost a large quantity of blood and was in a weakly condition, It appeared that she lived in that horrible place "Tiger Bay," a cognomen applied to a large district of the parish of St. CI eorge •in-the-East, in conse quence of the desperate character of the inhabitants, and the many outrages a nd robberies committ ed there. Yesterday (Sunday) e vening, the pros ecu t r i x, who keeps the house, No. 27, Brunswick -street, in the middle of Tiger Bay, went down stairs into the yard, and asked the prisoner, who keeps the house, No. 29, for the loan of a black apron. The prisoner said, I bought it and shall keep it. The prosecutrix turned round and made use of a disgusting expression. The prisoner immediately took up a poker and struck the prosecutrix several times on the head and body with it, and rendered her senseless. She was taken to London Hospital and her wounds were dressed. Her skull was not fractured, but the wounds were of a very serious nature. Eliza Desmond, of 29, Brunswick-street, said she heard crit s of " Murder l'' and "Police I" and upon going to the house, No. 27, she found the prosecutrix in gores of bl ee d on a bed, and th e prisoner b La ti n g her with a p ker. She assisted in taking the complainant to the Louden hospital. The prisoner, in &fence, said the prosecutrix struck her first, and she used the poker in self-defence. Mr. Seife —You are both the keepers of infamous houses in Tiger Bay, and you were quarrelling and making a die.- turbauce ou the Sabbath evening. I shall punish the prisoner severely for using an unlawful weapon. The magistrate then sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard about - , and said that disgraceful outrages and brawls had been very frequent in 'Brunswick street and Frederick-street, and the parochial authorities ought to interfere, and make an eff trt to suppress the scenes so disgraceful to humanity and the public morals. DESTRUCTIV E FIRE (THIS DAY). —The premises of Mr. Swt.ine, 20, Curtain. road, Shoreditch, took fire this morning about 3 o'clock, and the contents of the shop and the rooms on the ground floor were destroyed.

SPORTING NOTES. There are several small meetings to be held this week. In the north the metallies will find occupation at Stockton, in the west at Bridgewater and Ludlow, in the south at Egham and Tonbridge, and in the midland counties at Lichfield. At pleasant Stockton, so happily situated within reach of the beautiful watering places of Scarborough and Redcar, Mr. Craggs has issued a hill of fare tnarcely less inferior to that of York itself, but which must, to some ex tent, suffer from so many horses being used up last week on the Knavesmire. The list extends to 21 items, spread equally over Tuesday next and the two succeding days, the majority of which are already closed. The most interesting event for the first day is the Cleveland Stakes, fir two-yr olds, in which no fewer than 48 horses are engaged, hut with a likelihood of only the following runners :—Early Purl (doubtful), Trust, Laura, Princess Louisa, Tease Me Not, Borealis, Formidable, Trump Queen, Corydon, Erin go Bragh (doubtful), the Wasp colt, Cistercian, and Bohe mia. With the exception of the two former and Corydon, all are penalised, which ought to give Early Purl and Trust great chance; and the best worth trusting in the Trades men's Plate, for which 13 horses accepted of the 28 entered, are Virgilius, Brighton, and Pembroke. For the Three-yr- Old Zetland Biennial, the field is not likely to exceed halls dozen, to be . elected from Bonny Breast Knot, Lord of Linne, Lachesis, the Pilot, Grimston, Cellarius, Q. E. D., and Pice'clor. Q. E. D., if nothing the worse of the work she got at York, ought to w:n. Twenty-five horses are weighted for the Harry Fowler Slakes, of which the best in, to my thinking, are Queen of Trumps and Tommy Jones. On the second day Livingstone cannot lose the Hardwicke Stakes; and the Nerthern St. Leger seems as great a certainty for Zetland, unless opposed by Johnny Armerong, who will, however, hardly run, in the face of the Doncaster St. Leger, for which he was last week backed to some tune. Bohemia, in the absence of Michael Scott, will win the Lambton Stokes; end the high bred Boatswain ought to be good enough to pull off the Thornaby St a k es . Of the two y ear o ld s engaged in the Elton Juvenile Stakes I know so little that I dare not venture an opinion on it, and the result of the Wynyard Plate being dependent on previ ous running, commenting on it is best let alone. On Thursday the Two Year Old Zetland Biennial must fall to either Old Orange Girl or The Comet. In the Billingham Grange Stakes, Brahmin will very likely oppose Zetland successfully, as the latter is penalised 51b, and the distance, a mile and a quarter only, is not in his favour. The Mid dlesborough Handicap must fall to Caller Ou, 'oho, consi dering the excellence of her performances last year was let in on very easy terms, as the handicapper made Ivanhoff give her 71b, and Lady Trespass 21b I The County Mem - bcrs' Plate ought to fall to either The Knave or Brighton, and the horses likely to pull off the Garbutt Nursery Handicap are Corydon and Tease Me Not. The programme of Egham in its original state gave pro mise of excellent sport, but the handicaps seem to have pleased so few, that the Runnymede will hardly prove so attractive as on many previous anniversaries. For the opening event, the Runnymede Stakes, six only cried "content" of the 29 horses handicapped. Mermaid has incurred a penalty of 41b, so the race must fall to Wombat. In the King John Stakes, Tom Fool and Soapstone will probably fight their Reading battle o'er again, and I think ,he 61b extra on Soapstone must give Mr. Brailey's horse the victory on th's occasion. The winner of the Betting Stand Plate, for which 41 horses are handicapped, is not unlikely to be among the following half dozen: — Astarte, Acco, the Grey Hen colt, Tom Sayers, Surbiton Hill, and Freestone; and Bloodhound ought to win the Welter Stakes. On the second day the Surrey and Middlesex Handicap is a still greater failure than the Runnymede Stakes, as five only of the thirty weighted have: accepted, and of these Fannie colt is, from last year's running, entitled to the preference. The Baron's Stakes seem likely to fall to either Barrister or the filly by Kingston out of Dinah. The other races, which include the Que.n's Plate (very likely to be won by Paste), the Egham Stakes, the Town Plate, and several selling stakes, have all to be yet named for. The Lichfield meeting being now patronised by the lead • ing resident noblemen and gentlemen of Staffordshire, has been restored to something like its former importance. The bill of fare extends to fourteen items, spread over the two days, Tuesday and Wednesday next, no fewer than nine of which are already dosed with very fair entries, The three with the best chance for the Staffordshire Handicap are Defender, Donne Canne, and Ophelia, and Lapidary seems likely to carry off the Beaudesert Welter Cup. The Cham pagne Stakes seems to lie between Gipsy Girl and Taje, the form er for choice, the distance being only half a mile; and the Nursery Handicap ought to fall to Muffler or Golden Drop, the former being entitled to the prefe rence. The only feature of importance last woek was the support awarded to Bonny Breast Knot for the St. Leger. The filly is vastly improved, but she can have no chance with such horses as The Marquis, Caractacte, Carisbrook, and Buckstone. But I would sooner trust to Lord Olasgow's Stockwell colt than any of the favourites, and those who back him at his - present long price, both to win and a place, will have no cause to regret their investment. There is a filly named Moula in William Day's stable, which must not be lost sight of if zny demonstration is made in her favour, as she only ran once last year, and has not been out this. At the Newmarket Second October Meeting, over the T.Y.C., carrying weight for age, she beat the fol lowing field in a canter :—Nottingham, Costa, Watchman, Clarissa colt, Fig, St. Alexis, Equation colt, Palm 0:1, Jun g Frau, Paradox, Malek, Exactitude, Eden, and Queen Elizabeth. A FRESH MAN. The Sacred Harmonic Society, Exeter-hall, will repeat their perforroarce of the Messiah on Friday next, August 29. WINCHESTER COLLEGE.—An extra week has been added to the holidays at Winchester College in honour of the recent marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice. The day fixed for the return of the College boys is Saturday, September 6, and that for commoners Tuesdays September 9. THE REPRESENTATION OF STOKE-11PON-TRENT. The Liberals of the Parliamentary borough of Stoke-upon- Trent have invited the Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower, member for Bodmin to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the late l‘lr. J. L. Ricardo. If Mr. Gower accept the invitation his election will not be opposed by the Con servative party. Mr. Sergeant Slice is likely to come for ward, but only in the event of Mr. Gower declining to do so. Mr. Edward Buller, late member for North Stafford shire, and Mr. Samuel Pope, of Manchester, who contested the borough at the last election, are aleo named as probable candidates. Duras JUSTICE. —In the French law reports for he end of February, 1860, stands a report of a case before the High Court of Revision, with. these headings in italics Judicial error—two innocent men condemned to hard labours—their deaths in the hulks--condemnation of the guilty—prohibition to publish the report—appeal in cassa tion"—i.e. revision. Four or five years after the burglary —unhappily more than four or five years too late—and after the innocent had died of the sufferings due only to the guilty in the month of February, 1860, three men, named Jambon, Olivier, and Mallon, and a woman called Widow Sinquin, were clearly found guilty of the burglary com mitted in the house of the Guigourcs family, and were justly condemned to the identical penalties under which the two innocent men had died. But when trying and punishing the guilty, the assize court of Finistere, which had permitted the publication of the evidence against the innocent, prohibited the publication of any report of their proceedings. The power appears to have been' conferred upon the tribunals by a claw e in a decree issued by the Prince-Preei , lent of the Republic, on the 17th Feb., 1852. Oddly enough, certein of the guilty prisoners appealed against the sentence which condemned them, and one of the pleas of their appeal was, that there had been an unconstitutional prohibiticn of the publication of the pro ceedings of the court which tried them. xt -% - ly publicity was more inconvenient in 1860 than in 1851 the court did not say; yet not one paragraph, sentence, or line, of the evidence establishing the innocence of Baffet and Level' was allowed to be published. The only amends made was the following sentence from the speech of the imperial p ro. curator :—" The real criminals are to-day in the hands of justice. They await the chastisement they have so justly merited. The deaths of Lonarn and Baffet make it impos sible to repair the judicial error of which they were the victims; but the detates of this trial , and the newverdict of the jury, will be a brilliant an d solemn restoration no their memory." Very brillia nt, and Tels, 5 0 1 e , 1 1 9 1 me doubt.
