flf MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due to-day on the Italian (Maremmana Railway) Loan for £1,338,000. . . . The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence on Friday ("continuation day") and terminate on Mondry. The amount of gold taken to the Bank to-day was £17,000. The Delta will take on the 27th inst. £26,339 in gold and £34,240 in silver for Bombay. The position of the cotton trade is becoming more serious and complicated than ever. Specu lators are rushing eagerly into the Liverpool mar ket, where extreme excitement prevails. The transactions to-day comprised fully 25,000 bales, of which one-half was taken on spiculation and for export. Prices were quoted not less than 11d., and in some instances, ld. per lb. higher than on Friday. The weather being apparently scmewhat more settled, the wheat market to-day was dull, The traffic of the metropolitan railways is now being a good deal raised by the influx of country people to the Exhibition. The London and North- Western return shows this week an increase of £9,364 ; the Great Northern, an increase of £2.,809 the Great Western, an increase of £6,846; and the London and South-Western, an increase of £5,593. The annual meeting of the Netherlands Land Enclosure Companyis called for the 31st July. The Master of the Rolls proposes on the 7th July to settle the list of contributories of the Agricul turist Cattle Insurance Company. There was a relapse of about 4 per cent. in the afternoon in the India 5 per Cent. stock, which, after having marked 1091, closed at 109 tol. The rupee paper was inquired for. Exchequer Bills were firm at 6s. to 10s. prem. The discount market continues easy, and the supply of money is evidently increased by the be lief that it will not be possible to keep the rates at their present point much longer. Good short hills were taken to-day at Ti and 2,1, per cent. At the Bank of England D iscount-office the applications were very limited. The news given yesterday of an advance in the exchange at New York to 118 is confirmed. Here great depression prevails in the market for Ameri can securities, a n d prices are falling, great anxiety being felt with regard to the course of affairs in America. It appears that the .g 5,000,000 of Portuguese s tock, which it is proposed to place by a single O p er ation, will complete the amount which the Government has been authorised by the Cortes to i ssue, for m a ki ng railways and roads. It has been known for some time past that this amount has been hanging over the market, and considerable parcels have been placed from time to time by the Government agents. The course now about to be adopt e d i s certainly the more open one. The loan will probably be issued in London and Amsterdam. At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at f 68.5 0, and closed at 68.35 for money and 68.40 yor the ac count, being -g to ;per cent. lower than esterd ay. The -alf-yearly interest is advertised on th 6 Per "nt. Debenture Bonds of the New Brunswick end Canada Railway and Land Company. The special meeting of this compa n y, convene d f or th e 2 th inst., is postponed.

PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR. Mr. John Rennie, in a letter to a contemporary, says :—" I have seen with much pleasure, in the "Naval and Military" article of your journal of this day, that, in their report on Portsmouth harbour of last month, Messrs. Taylor and Davis, masters of Royal Navy, say— In the fair-way channel there is a depth of 17 ft. at low water of spring tides, of 27 ft. at high water of neap tides, and of 30 ft. at high water of spring tides ;' and that the report also states that 'there are no indications of travelling shingle, that the sides of the cut have not caved in, and there are no symptoms to render it prudent to desist from dredging a still deeper channel. On the contrary, there is every encouragement to dredge at once for a depth of 20 ft. at lower water of spring tides, or 30 ft. at high water of neaps. To effect this the shingle forming the bar will have to be removed at an average depth of 2 ft. 4 in., 'which gives about 41,000 cubic yards for dredging, the esti mated cost of which would be about £3,500.' The above successful result completely establishes the correctness of the opinion contained in the report of the late Joseph Whielbey, Captain Foulerton, of the Trinity-housF, Mr. Ralph Walker, and myself, to the Admiralty, dated the 16th of January, 1823, wherein we recommended that the above shoal, at the entrance of Portsmouth harbour, should be re moved by dredging, which, unfortunately, was not adopted for many years afterwards. Portsmouth harbour may be still further greatly improved by adopting the plan sec forth in the report of Mr. John Murray and myself to the Admiralty, dated the 27th of,January lest—namely, by constructing a properly-designed sluice with locks across the entrance of Langston harbour, so that the vast addi tional quantity of tidal water contained in Langston harbour may be diverted at pleasure to any extent required through Portsmouth harbour, and thus, combined with the operation of dredging, not only the bar but the whole of the harbour in front of the dockyard may be scoured out 'and deepened to a much greater extent—which is required for the general purposes of the navy at Portsmouth." The Algerian journals state that last week a violent shock of earthquake, which lasted about three seconds, took place at Relizane, in the province of Oran, the noise made resembling that of a train entering a tun nel. Bottles and other utensils were thrown down from the shelves in the hoaxes, the wainscots disjointed, and the plaister of the walls detached. A number of houses were cracked, and among them the barracks of the Gendarmes. The direction of the movement appeared to be from the south-west to the south-east, that is, coming from Mascara. Since the morning, the sky had been cloudy and the wea ther close. A Breslau letter states that lately, at the theatre of that place, when Schiller's " Maid of Orleans" was being performed, the words of Dunois, "The nation is base that does not sacrifice all to honour," were hailed with enthu siastic acclamations ; and on the declaration of Charles VII., that " Kings hold their crowns only by the grace of God," being uttered, 50 or 60 students burst out into a loud fit of laughter. How foolish for a man to sell his brains for the sake of pleasing a little place in the bottom of his mouth, not two inches square Advices from Warsaw state that the whole of the railway is now open from that city to St Petersburg, and trains run regularly between those two places. THE SUEFFIELD CEMETERY DISCLOSURES.— Isaac Howard, the sexton at Wardsend Cemetery, was carge again brou g h t b e f ore the Sheffield bench, yesterday, on the of disint err i ng b o di es. F res h ev id ence h av i ng been adduced, Howard said—l acted entirely under Mr. Inc bodie s of t Lives e ' Y 8 di rections—(sensation)—and never otherwise.

The Bohemia of Pragutises tohcflefthee application made by the 20th says : " Having been the first to speteak Cardin Primate, we aßinelsmof;tllle old King the Prince of Croy-Chanel uiperor Francis have just been officially informed that t t m . ed e in the Joseph has ordered that the mortal rem, , and his of Hungary, of the race of the Arpad wife, Anna Commene, shall be suitablyghi dyeepeontsi cathedral of Buda.

"Yes," replied Talleyrand, " away from you." PROGRESS OF TELEGRAPHY. —A plan for the better detection and prevention of crime in Ireland has been laid, within the last few days, before the Irish exe cutive. It is prorosed to connect the po lice barracks of Ireland by telegraphic wires, thereby enabling the consta bulary to encircle any district where a crime is committed the moment information reaches them. Agratian and other offences are generally perpetrated by strangers hired from a distance, who at present have time to escape back to their own districts before they can be intercepted by the police, hence the necessity of a rapid communication between the police barracks. For this purpose mounted constabulary are kept at present at a cost of about £lO,OOO per annum whose services, it is assumed, might be dispensed with by the substitution of telegraphic wile, which can be laid at a very small expense compared with that incurred for the horse police. ,~/ ~ THE ' SUN LONDON, lIHURSD kY' EVENING, JUNE 26, 1E62.

The prosecutor said—About half-past five o'clock this morning he met the prisoners near Leicester-square, and after a short conversation he accompanied them to a putlic houso in Covent-garden, where be paid for some refresh ment for the two girls. While they were standing in front of the bar, Wallis admired his emerald ring, when ho took it from his finger and gave it to her to look at. He saw the ring on the finger of Wallis, and, as she appeared dis inclined to return it, he asked her for it. She still refused to part with the ring, and he proceeded to try to take it from her. The prisoner Cook was standing close to Wallis, and she said to her, "You know you've got the ring, why don't you give it up ?" The ring, however, disappeared, and he then charged the prisoners with stealing it. It was worth at least 48. The police-constable who took the prisoners in charge said he heard Cook tell the other prisoner to give up the ring. The ring had not been found. Cook was then discharged, and afterwards called into the witness-box. On being sworn, she said she saw the ring on Wallis's finger, and heard her refuse to give it up. The prisoner said she returned the ring to the prosecu cutor in about five minutes after he gave it her. The prisoner was committed. Mary Hudson, a servant out of place, was charged with stealing a brooch. The assistant to Mr. Jones, a jeweller in the Lowther Arcade, said as he was closing the shop last evening, the prisoner came and asked the price of some cameo brooches. He showed her some worth about 205., when, after looking at the articles, she asked to be shown some at ls. 6d. She eventually left the shop, and he thee discovered that she had stolen one of the brooches first shown to her. He fol lowed her, and on taking her back to the shop, she took the brooch produced from her pocket, saying, " You can't say that's yours." It was the one he had missed from the tray. The prisoner admitted stealing the brooch, and the ma gistrate sent her to prison for two months, with hard labour. 73 75 61 0 96} 96 1 1 0/(1 541 551 83/ 84 100 102 Id *Pm elk 4p d 10f 11 118 100 45 47 103 1(5 45 47 34 36 88 - 00 134 138 61 7t 44 46 39 41 87 89 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

Clarke, proprietor of omnibus 7,057, plying to and from the Exhibition, Brompton, was summoned by Mr. Love, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to produce the driver of the omnibus on the charge of torturing a horse. The evidence of Davis and Choyce, two of the Royal Society's officers, went to show that they, with other officers, were on duty on the 19th inst. in Piccadilly and the Brompton-road watching the omnibuses going to and from the Exhibition, when they saw the defendant driving an omnibus laden with passengers, and from the restless way in which one of the horses was working they were induced to stop it, and on examining the horse they found a large running wound on its shoulder. The defendant said he was not aware the wound was so bad. Defendant said the horse was a capital one, very fat, and that the wound was an old one, but the pad had slipped and revived it. Mr. Clarke was not is the habit of sending out horses in an unfit state. The defendant was fined 55., and costs, with a caution that the next time it would be 40s. The magistrate re marked that drivers looked on horses as bits of machinery, and as long as they would go didn't care. THE ROBBERY AT AN AIYCTION.ROOH. - A man, who refused his name and address, charged with stealing a china vase and bronze match •pot from the works of Messrs. Christie, auctioneers, King-street, St. James's, was again brought up. The prisoner offered the match-pot for sale to Mr. Wm. Wareham, the well-known dealer in antiquities and curio sities in Castle-street, Leicester-square, but Mr. Wareham, having previously bought a china vase of him, and which he afterwards discovered had been stolen in the auction rooms, and immediately restored to Messrs. Christie, he detained the prisoner and gave bim into custody. Mr. Edward Lewis appeared for the prisoner, and ad dressed the magistrate on the prisoner's behalf, and called a witness who gave him a very good character prior to this charge. The trisoner was committed for a month with hard labour for unlawful possession. WESTMINSTER. IMPROPER APPREHENSION OF A. POOR MAN BY THE POLICE.--Thomas Jones, a man having the appearance of a stable-helper, was charged with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. Police-constable Fulford, 316 E, said that last night the defendant caused an obstruction outside Cremorne-gardens by calling a cab out of the middle of the street. Mr. Arnold—What did he call it for ? Policeman—For two ladies and a gentleman. Mr. Arnold—ls there any harm in that ? Policeman—lt obstructs the working of the rank. Mr. Arnold—l don't unierstand you, lam afraid. Do you say that the act of which you complain against this man is that he called a cab for two ladies and a gentleman who were at Crernorne ? Policeman—Yes, that is correct, sir ; this man and others, who are there of a night, are a great nuisance. Mr. Arnold—ln what respect ? Policeman—There are several of them ; and if they see ladies and gentlemen coming out of the gariens they run and get a cab for them. Mr. Arnold—Then your complaint against this man is that he is of great public convenience, and I cannot under stand what the cause of complaint can be. Policeman —They cause an obstruction, and prevent the cabs going up to the gate in a proper way. This man took the cab from the middle of the rank, 'which prevented its working fairly. Mr. Arnold—What difference is there between this man and another ? Everybody has a right to pick a cab from the middle of the rank if he pleases, and of course while per sons are getting into it there is necessarily an obstruction for the moment. Would you have taken a gentleman into custody for so calling a cab ? Policeman—No, sir, I should not. Mr. Arnold—Then I discharge him. You had no right to take him into custody. I cannot make out the slightest offence against the prisoner; it was perfect nonsense to charge him. THE YELVER7'OIV CASE. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. JUNE 25.

STATE OF THE POLL-THREE O'CLOCK, THIS DAY. Jones Lawrence Nissen HORRIBLE MURDER IN CANADA. (From the Bastings Chronicle.) To the attention of A. F. Wood, Esq., we are indebted for the following particulars of an atro cious murder on the Hastings Road : MADON, May 30. A Mr. Finlayson has just come in from the town ship of Monteagle after the coroner, to investigate one of the most outrageous murders that has taken place in this section of country. The circum stances of the case as related by Mr. Finlayson (a very respectable man, by the way) are as fol lows :—On Tuesday last a:Mr. Munroe, a resident of Monteagle (a township on the Hastings Road, about 70 miles from this place), went to his neigh bour, a Mr. Edward, to expostulate with him for shooting his hens. Edward told him he would shoot them if they came on his grain again and took his gun and went out for that purpose. Munro seized hold of the gun to prevent bis shooting. Edward drew a pistol from a side pocket and pre sented it at Munroe, who knocked it out of his hand and called on his son to pick it up. While the scu:; e was going on, Edward's wife stole up behind Munroe and struck him over the head with a sycthe, cutting through the skull into the brain ! Munroe fell, upon which she struck him again, almost severing his arm from his body. Munroe died in a few minutes. Edward then wrenched the pistol from Munroe's son and shot him in the back, making a frightful wound. When Finlayson left, young Munroe's life was despaired of. It was with the greatest exertion that the people in the neighbourhood were prevented from lynching Edward and his wife. Munroe is a man of very good character, and gene rally respected. Edward and wife, on the other hand, have been the cause of much trouble to the settlement since they resided there, and were not only very much disliked, but also very much feared. On his way out Finlayson stopped at Mr. Jelley's (Reeve of Tudor), who immediately with several of his neighbours, started on to arrest Edward and his wife. 1)r. Yeomans, coroner, will leave in the morning for the purpose of holding an inquest, and invests• gating the matter. Finlayson says the excitement is very great in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a most horrible affair, and it is to be hoped the guilty parties will be brought to justice. VARIETIES. (From Cassell's Illustrated Family Paper.) Jean, jester to Charles IX., tried his master's nerve by rushing into his room one morning with the exclamation : '• Oh, sire, such news—four thousand men have risen in the city !" "What I" cried the king; "with what inten tion have they risen ?" " Oh," said Jean, " I shouldn't wonder if it were with the intention of lying down again at bed-time 1" " If you don't accept my challenge," said a bullying fel low to ono whom he had insulted, "I'll gazette you—so take your choice." " Go-a-head," said the other ; " I'd rather fill six gazettes than one coffin." A young Irishman who had married when ho was about 19 years old complained of the difficulties to which his early marriage had subjected him, and said he would not marry so young again if he lived to be as old as Methuselah. Why should Africa rightly be considered to rank first of the continents P—Because bears the palm. Which of the feathered tribes lifts the heaviest weight ? —The Crane. A SHORT TRlP.—Slipping on a piece of orange•peel in the street. Docbs says he has one of the most obedient boys in the world. Ile tells him to do as ho pleases, and ho does it without murmuring. _ _ _ All our laws.would seem to be bankrupt laws ; they are broken every day. The mariner's compass has done some of the most im portant needle work in the world. "I'll put that in my trunk," as the will elephant ob served to the orange. _ - Why does a flower resemble a public lecturer P—Because it depends on its (s) tali'. Avail yourself of all your knowledge without making a display of it. The machinery works best that is hidden from view. The truly great are humble, as those ears of corn and boughs of trees that are best laden bend the lowest. When our cup runs over, we let others drink the drops that fall, but not a drop from within the rim ; and we com placently call this charity. A poor seamstress finds it hard work to thread her way through life's wilderness. QUEER RIND OP LOVE.—A neuralgic affection. " I will take a bite, too," as the wolf said, when he came across a man eating his dinner in the woods. A poultry fancier lately procured a picture of a favourite hen, which was so natural that it laid on the table for several we A;s. " It's hard tellin'," Aunt Deborah used to say, " how much a man knows by the clothes ho wears. I've seen a great deal of the world in my day, and I've allers found that them who 'pears the smartest, and dress the finest, ain't much arter all." "Mr. Smith, I wish to speak with you privately. Permit me to take you apart a few moments." .5. mith (who wasn't the least `frightened)—" Certainly, sir, if you'll promise to put me together again." A railroad guard, out of employment at present, wants to know when the "Equinoctial line" is to be opened, as he thinks of applying for a situation.

"Please, ma'am, I don't live now," replied the girl, " I'm married." SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, June 26.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly ; light breeze, and fine weather, but cloudy at times.

The noble lord considered in the changes which were taking place in naval warfare owing to the introduction of ourplated shipsrendered the policy of constructing these works very doubtful, at all events until the experiments which were being made by Sir W. Armstrong threw fuller light upon the offensive powers of anillery of large size, and the defensive capabili ties of iron plates. The noble lord then entered into an analysis. of the evidence given before the royal commission, and impugned the results which they had arrived at, as not supported by the opinions of the eminent officers who were examined before them. tLEPT SPLAILIN HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.

As regarded the bill he proposed to proceed with the second reading on Monday. . TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses up to 112 were agreed to, after a short discussion, with some amendments. On clause 113, which related to the appointment of ex aminers of titles under the provision of the bill, a discussion. arose, in the course of which it was contended by the oppo nents of the clause, that persons appointed to such offices should have special knowledge of conveyancing as an in dispensable guarantee of their efficiency. In reply to this and other exceptions to the previsions of the bill, The SOLICITO R-GENERAL said it was impossible to say at present what would be the extent of the establishment that would be required to carry out the provisions of the bill. The establishment would be supported by fees which would be paid into the consolidated fund, and checks were imposed to prevent the appointment of unnecessary officers or the item ring of extiavagant expenditure.
