THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST! !22, 1859. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading coup markets held on Saturday were only moderate, and the de • mand for most kinds ruled steady, at full quotations. Barley supported previous rates, and most other kinds of produce were tolerably firm in price. The continental markets have been very inactive for pro duce generally on English account. In the United States, the value of both wheat and flour has continued to give way. Only moderate supplies of home-grown produce, arrived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 7,044 quarters of wheat, 3 barley, 37,293 oats, 632 beans, no peas, 4,010 linseed, 7,038 rapeseed, 2,450 Indian corn, 32 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks of flour. Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received up to our market, this morning, coastwise and by land carriage. For all kinds the demand ruled very inactive . Good and fine samples were mostly disposed of at last Mon day's currency; but low and damp parcels were very dull, and in some instances, rather lower—say Is to 2s per quarter. The condition of the new wheat was only middling, but no qualities came to hand better than white. New zed sold at from 40s to 455, and new white 42s to 49s per quarter. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat All descriptions met a dull inquiry. In prices, however we have no change to notice. In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing al late rates. Very little barley was on offer. The general condition of the new samples was only middling, and the prices ranged from 32s to 40s per quarter. Malt realised previous rates, but the demand was in a sluggish state. The supply of oats was rather larger. Good and fine parcels moved off steadily ; other kinds slowly at about late rates. New beans were on offer at 40s per qr. Old parcels were dull but not cheaper. Peas sold slowly on former terms. We had a slow inquiry for flour, at late quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A fair supply of beasts,was received fresh up from our own grazing districts, but their general condition was by no means first rate. Prime Scots, crosses, &e., were in fair request, at fully last week's prices ; but most other breeds moved off slowly, at late rates. The top price was 4s. Bd. per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,900 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 140 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 350 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was rather limited, compared with several previous weeks. For all breeds there was a fair de mand at full quotations. Prime Downs sold at 5s per 81bs. There was a slight improvement in the lamb trade, but no advance took place in prices. The top figure was 5s 6d. We have again to report a dull in q uiry for calves, at the late decline in value.

PAST DOINGS AND PROSPECTIVE CHANCES. Party spirit and party spite cannot always be regarded with indifference ; they are sometimes carried to an extent which raise them from insig nificance, and not only become public questions but public nuisances. Now the recent Lewes Meeting furnishes a point by which these remarks may be illustrated. Because a certain gentleman chose to abandon an engagement from a misunderstanding on a weekly sporting authority (9) the meeting in which he was intereti.td has been maliciously attacked, and an attempt to write it down has been made, which might have produced a desired effect if directed against an object worthy of censure, but which is only contemptible in the present instance. Admiral Rous has lent the weight of his indiscreetly used authority to back up the unwarrantable re marks whieh had been made respecting the management of the Lewes Meeting; but the quarrel, which was a very pretty one as it stood, between the sporting " authority" and the Clerk of the Course, has now drawn other and unoffending persons into an unpleasant position. With private matters, however, the public have now nothing to do ; individual squabbles invariably excite more derision than serious attention. The question, however, as I have stated, has assumed a public shape, and therefore I should be guilty of a dereliction of duty did I not refer to it. The Clerk of the Course will be compelled to make an explanation of the charges which have now been publicly asserted against him. His case he himself .oust defend. Mr, Thornhill, the really aggrieved party, will not, however, perhaps possess the same facilities for showing how he has been blamed for doing that—not discreditable in itself—a thing of dais practice on the turf—and which, for motives which " the Admiral" has misunderstood, has been made public, in order to injure a man who dared to act independently in private matters, and who is work ing hard to conduct honestly and legitimately a meeting which has not of late been over prosperous, and who is endeavouring by fair means to render a precarious undertaking remunerative. " The Admiral" has " marked " Mr. Thornhill because Tournament was started to make running for Blue Jacket for the Lewes Handicap, and be cause Blue Jacket could not win. Now, how does the case stand ? Wild Rose had been backed for the race at evens against the field, but she receded and Blue Jacket became favourite. A stable lad was put upon Tournament who—if no declaration was made respecting his being sent to make running only—was not backed for sixpence in the ring, be cause a tacit understanding existed amongst the people present as to the purpose for which he was started. Now, is it a very uncommon thing for one horse to be started to make running, for another without a declaration being made ? Why the thing is done every day. Now mark the injustice to Mr. Thornhill. He was at Wolverhampton with his jockey, Fordham, and did not reach Lewes till the Tuesday. Previously to Tournament's race with Wild Rose for the Guineas, he went to Admiral Rous and explained to him the circumstance of Tournament's being started on the Monday, and informed him that he left instructions to Drewitt, his trainer, to make public the fact of the horse's going to serve his stable companion. This Drewitt, who has been confined to his bed by a long and painful illness, neglected to do ; but the omission was not a serious offence, and the Admiral made no remark at the time. After the race, however, when Tournament won, the Admiral waxed wroth, and told Mr. Thornhill he would mark him. He has done so. He gave a decision more than ques tionable against him in a disputed race : he most unfairly handicapped Mr. Thorn hill's horses for their engagements at Egham, and has threatened to " remember" him for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. Now Mr. Thornhill has, it must be confessed, been shame fully treated. How came Admiral Rous in the position, by his mere ipse dixit, to destroy a man's property and to put the object of his wrath at an unwarrantable expense ? What would be thought of a captain who took charge of goods, and when he got them safely shipped expressed his determi nation that their owner should never realize a pro fit on it, and that he intended to throw it over board ? Mr. Thornhill paid the entrance money for his horses to the Stakes for which they are nominated, and he is immediately afterwards in formed that his horses will have such a weight placed upon them as will deprive them of any chance of winning their engagements. Mr. Thorn hill might as well have thrown his money into the streets, or have had it taken from his pocket. Ad miral Rous has worked well for the Turf, but such acts of caprice as I have brought under notice will operate more for the evil than for the good of the Turf. Than Mr. Thornhill a more straight forward man is not on the turf, and in justice to him I have taken up the cudgels, not only in his behalf, but in behalf of the entire sporting community. In giving his decision the Admiral has laid himself open to the charge which he makes respecting people's drawing upon their imagination for their facts. He draws upon his imagination and his prejudices for his facts and his decisions, upon cases which are unfortunately brought before him. Surely the Stewards of the Jockey Club will not be influenced by his vapour ing determination,to shut out whatever chance Mr. Thornhill's horse s would possess for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, if they were weighted upon fair terms with their opponents. The length to which the above remarks have ex tended will prevent my referring, at present, to the York Meeting, and the in and out running on Knavesmire. The sport will commence this day at Radcliffe, and will terminate on Friday at Oxford. The Radcliffe gathering I may pass over. The pleasant little meeting at Egham will occupy the attention of the Cockneys. The King John Stakes will enable Thunderbolt to improve upon his Goodwood running, and I shall not look for a more formidable champion. For the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes I shall give my preference to Clydesdale and Clara Webster. For the Runnymede Handicap I shall stand Queen of the South and Lord Berkeley. Broadstairs.

ME SERPENTINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—There are occasions when, despite his own previous resolutions to the contrary, a professional man must abandon his retirement for the arena of an unsought and most disagreeable controversy. Messrs. Easton and Co. now seek to impute to me a wilful perversion of their voluntary proposals for cleansing the Serpentine, and particularly in re spect to the alleged intended application of the water to the ornamental lakes in Buckingham Pa lace Gardens and St. James's Park, after it shall have been previously employed to cleanse the Serpentine. They neither deny the statement nor explain it away, but content themselves with saying the sug gestion " is too much like a portion of Mr. Hawks ley's plan for it to have originated elsewhere than in his own brain," thus leaving the public to infer that my conclusions had no foundation in fact, and that I had deliberately and wilfully misrepresented Messrs. Easton and Co.'s own propositions. Messrs. Easton and Co. shall therefore reply to Messrs. Easton and Co. out of their own printed communi cations. On the 10th of the present month Messrs. Easton and Co., having been twice repulsed by two succeeding heads of the Department of Works, ad dressed to the First Commissioner the following remarkable epistle : "THE SERPENTINE. " Grove, Southwark, S.E., Aug. 10. " Sir,—We must ask you to excuse our again troubling. you with a communication on this subject, but we are de termined that such a plan as that of filtering the Serpen tine water shall not be carried into effect without your being made fully acquainted with the fact that the supply of water to that lake can be accomplished in a simpler, more effectual, and less expensive manner. " The quantity of water at present pumped daily by the six-horse agricultural engine and temporary pump into the lake in St. James's Park is not less than 500,000 gallons ; and it is from the knowledge of this fact and from the extra ordinary quantity of water we met with in making the pre sent tunnels finm the well in the a•ack island that we are enabled to guarantee to obtain the quantity mentioned in our letter of the sth inst. ,4 Our calculations in that letter were made upon the basis of supplying as much fresh water daily to the Serpentine as it was proposed to filter,—viz. 2,000,000 gallons ; but we are of opinion that by pumping 1,400 gallons per minute, equal to 1,000,000 per day of 12' hours, into the basin in Kensington Palace Gardens, whence it would run into the Serpentine as at present, the supply would be amply suffi oient. "-We are willing to obtain this quantity of water, erect the steam-engine, pumps, and buildings, lay down the pipes, and execute all the works necessary for the sum of £11,500; and we will further contract to work the engine for six days in the week, 12 hours per day, and keep the whole in repair, for the sum of £7OO per annum, which is only about £2OO per annum more than the present cost of keeping up the lakes in Buckingham Palace Gardens and St. James's Park. " We are satisaed that 1,000,000 gallons per day will be sufficient, but should it be requisite to work the machinery by night in the summer, it could be done for 40s. per night, and thus give 2,000,000 ga ll ons per d ay i nstea d of 1,000,000. " The annual sum here stated would be the total cost for supplying the whole of the lakes when the present contract with. the Chelsea Waterworks Company expires, which we believe will be the case in less than two years. " We have the honour to " be, sir, your obedi en t servan t s , " EASTON, Amos, AND S ONS . The Right Hon. Henry Fitzroy, M.P., Chief Com misSioner of her Majesty's Works, &c.” This letter is, as I read it, perfectly distinct on five material points : 1. The quautity of water to be pumped is 6,000,000 gallons per week of seven days, equiva lent to an average supply of only 857,143 gallons per day. 2. The sums to be paid to Messrs. Easton and Co. for this service are £11,500 down for machinery and apparatus, and £7OO per annum for working expenses. 3. The sum to be saved is £5OO per annum, being " the present cost of keeping up the lakes in Buck ingham Palace Gardens and St. James's Park." 4. The annual cost (.£700) is " the total cost for supplying the whole of the lakes" with this dis tinctly stated quantity of water (857,143 gallons per day.) 5. The water is to be obtained " fresh" from the well, and is to be pumped direct " into the basin in Kensington Palace Gardens, whence it would run into the Serpentine as at present." From this statement it therefore follows, as a matter of course, that the other two lakes—the one in Buckingham Palace Gardens and the one in St. James's Park—can only be supplied (unless, in deed, the same water, like the celebrated Hibernian bird, is capable of being in two places at one time) by the down-flow from the Serpentine, and this, as appears from other parts of the correspondence with which I need not now trouble you, was clearly intended by Messrs. Easton and Co. But in order apparently to prevent any possibi lity of mistake on this subject, Messrs. Easton and Co. present the readers of the Times of Tuesday last with an elaborate comparison of the costs of the corresponding undertakings ; as adopted by the Government and as proposed by themselves, in which they charge against my plan the following saving by their plan—viz., the whole of " the sums paid last year for pumping water into St. James's Park and Buckingham Palace Gardens, £500," being the identical amount mentioned in their letter of the 10th of August above referred to. All the water is, therefore, to travel from the well to Ken sington basin, thence pass into the Serpentine, afterwards descend into the garden of Buckingham Palace and the lake in St. James's Park, where, finally, it will in part escape by the sewer into the Thames, and in part filtrate into the gravel by which the well is supplied to re-commence the same distinguished circuit. I decline to comment upon, or in any way notice, the personalities of which I am made the subject, simply for having performed a strictly professional duty in a strictly professional manner. You, sir, and your readers are the best judges of the good faith with which I have acted in my professional capacity, and as well of the truthfulness of the statements I have been compelled to make in the two . defensive communications you have done me the honour to publish. If I have been the means of misrepresenting Messrs. Easton and Co., it is only because they have been at pains to misrepresent themselves, for I have not knowingly altered a word of their own propositions, nor have I, as I believe, in any respect changed the clear and ob vious meanings attaching to them ; neither do I perceive that Messrs. Easton and Co. have failed to convey a distinct expression of their cause every member of their several prop ositi ons is s a t m at p e l m ifi e e n d t and ma de corroborated themselves. to There is one other matter on which I d esire make a short remark. Messrs. Easton and Co. state in their last letter to you : " We are willing to undertake to put the bottom of the Serpentine into the same state as that of the lake in St. James's Park, and that the cost of the whole to the country shall not exceed £33,000 beyond the present grant of £17,000. There have been many exaggerated estimates made of the cost of this operation ; Sir S. M. Peto to-day says it will amount to £BO,OOO or £90,000." Now, sir, the estimates for cleansing the Serpen tine have been more numerous than the public are probably aware of. They have ranged from about £30,000 to considerably more than £lOO,OOO, ac cording to the varying amounts of work proposed to be performed. Most of the estimates include, as a prominent item, the entire removal of the deposi ted mud, because this operation has for more than 10 years past been of all others the one most insisted a ant i nt g htoe their tshiem o s w u upon both by the press and the individuals who have interested themselves the most largely in regard to the so called " purification of the Serpen tine." Messrs. Easton an i d sth A en rz , dpropositions proposeand tb etheir removalow n f estima te s the m u d to ; fit bu them,t th e y process o t s h m is of gh essrs. Easton and Co. offer m o c i: a calculate £ c 9 u , 52 1 00 a: 3 : 0905 t f e 6odr cost . wAh idcodhf Adding, we have the p to op d u o la t r h t e o w ta o l r o k in their f °°fw w il hie w h ay thr Morton Peto appears to d have spoken. h sp t ok e e se n. Having explanations, I venture to express the hope —a hope I scarcely expect to rea lise—that I shall now be . permitted to relapse into that condition of professio na l qu i e t u d e f rom which I consider I have been improperly withdrawn by the pertinacious interferences and personal attacks of Messrs. E aston and Co. I may have, un l u ckily, but notwithstanding quite accidentally, stepped between those gentlemen and a tradesman's gains for " goods sold and delivered, and work and labour done and performed" on a, supposed to be impend ing, Government contract of the amount of £50,000 or more ; I must therefore abide the consequences of my temerity, and submit myself to all the pun ishments I deserve for an offence at onc3 so grave and graceless. I believe, however, that during my prolonged revolutions in Messrs. Easton and Co.'s pillory, the public, who are now gradually gather ing the facts of the case, will not be disposed, as i n old times, to decorate my person with that Serpen tine mud in which Messrs. Easton and Co. take a nd have so manifest an interest. I continue to m ri o fi f ea m ti o o n n e o y f money, , or skilla n maintain necessary v f a o s r t the outlays pu p e ntine ; andl have no doubt o f b • t t i h m e e S er eing able to effect that object with satisfaction to the Government public. and with advantage to the Sincerely thanking you for your courteous ad mission of this letter, I have the honour to be, Sir, 11 ° 11 r ninst obedient servant, T. HAWKSLEY. Aug. 20. SUBRIENAING A DEFENDANT.-WILSON V. MICHAEL. This was an action to recover an amount for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Mackay, from Mr. Buchanan, said that the person who signed for the goods having left defendant's service, he had been obliged to subpa3na the defendant Defendant was then called and upon looking at the re ceipts produced purporting to be signed by some person in his employment, he said he could not recognise the hand writing. He had never received the goods mentioned in the receipts, and no one had authority to sign per procula tion. The matter occurred five years ago. Mr. Mackay said he must elect to be nonsuited. ACTION UPON A GUARANTEE-THOMAS V. ROBERTSON. This was an action to recover £4 lls. 3d. upon a guaran tee for good supplied to a Mrs. Conquer. Mr. Dunn, for defendant, said the name on the summons was " Conquest." Mr. Mackay said it was so, and the case was adjourned to make Conquer—Conquest. :MITE TO THE WEDDING ; OR, .CABBY V. BROUGHAM. ROBINSON V. CHILDS. Defendant is a livery stable keeper, of Farringdon-street, and the action was brought to recover £1 damage sustained in consequence of the non-supplying a brougham as agreed by defendant. Plaintiff stated that he agreed with defendant to have a brougham upon a certain day, to convey a wedding party to Iloxton Church. Defendant faithfully promised that the brougham should arrive by a quarter to nine. Plain tiff waited impatiently until a quarter past nine, and then he dare not wait longer. (Laughter.) He could not get a cab, and rushed off to defendant, who said he was very sorry, but his man had stopped away. The time now began to get short—(laughter)—and the wedding party was finally obliged to go to church in cabs, which cost £l. Defendant—Why, he was only to pay 12s. for the brougham. His Honour—Ah I but the cabman was a knowing fel low, and seeing plaintiff in splendid attire made a capital bargain. Ha might have been too late and lost the break fast. (Roars of laughter.) You must pay this £l Mr. Childs, and be more careful for the future in disappointing wedding parties. (Laughter.) Plaintiff applied for the expenses of witnesses, but the facts not being disputed, his Honour refused to allow wit nesses, telling plaintiff he might have brought the whole wedding party. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(T1118 DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CANNIBAL.—Nicholas Said, who stated that ho was a native of Central Africa, was placed at the bar charged with the following brutal outrage. Mr. Good, landlord of the Marlborough Head, Great Marlborough-street, stated that, at about half-past 10 on Saturday night, the prisoner came into his house and called for something to drink, with which he was served. He then commenced making a very great noise, and he (witness) requested him to desist, as his wife was upstairs very ill. Prisoner, who was the worse for drink; then put his fingers to his nose, and said he did not care a -, and he would make as much noise as he chose. A man named Cooper, who was at the time in front of the bar waiting to see his wife, who was upstairs nursing Mrs. Good, persuaded him to keep silence, when he seized him violently, and bit a piece out of his ear. He also threw him (Cooper) with such force against a door as to knock the panel out. Not satisfied with this, he again seized Cooper and threw him on to a mahogany table ; so great was the violence that it broke a large piece off the top. Witness went to Cooper's rescue, when he himself was attacked and bitten in two places on his arm in a severe manner. Henry Cooper, living at 3, Bentinck-street, baker, said that, at the time in question, he was waiting, as stated by the last witness, and, upon speaking to the prisoner, he seized him by the ribs and threw him with tremendous violence on to the ground. Whilst he was lying under neath, the prisoner seized his (witness's) ear in his mouth and bit a piece clean out. He then bit him very deeply in the neck, and attempted to get his other ear in his mouth. Witness then managed to get upon his feet, when he was again seized by the ribs and thrown with such violence against the parlour door as to smash the panel in. Prisoner again picked him up and threw him across the table and split it right across. He was completely exhausted when rescued from his violence. This witness's ear was frightfully lacerated and covered with adhesive plaister. He appeared to bo at present in great pain from the prisoner's violence. Prisoner in reply to the charg,e said, in Ft ench, that he did not recollect it. Mr. Beadon—You don't remember it, don't you ? then I will make you. When a man acts the part of a cannibal I will be as severe as I can. I fine you £5 for each of the as saults, or in default of payment two months for each penalty. Prisoner, a strong powerful fellow, was then removed. He was dressed in Indian costume, and it was stated that he had been in the employ of a Russian prince. His face was tatooed to show the distinctive mark of his tribe. THAMES. A NARROW ESCAPE UPON A RAILWAY.--Heinrich Muller, a German sugar baker, a remarkably heavy look ing man, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with tres passing on the North London Railway without lawful ex cuse, and with being drunk and disorderly. Samuel Quested, a guard in the service of the North London Railway Company, said he was proceeding with the down train last night about 10 o'clock, and saw the prisoner on the line crossing the metals. He first ob served him on a siding where bricks are placed, and he then went upon the main line, crossing in front of the tender, narrowly eAcaping destruction, and went up upon the up line. The train was stopped, and he went back after the prisoner, who was staggering, and he seized him, put him into the .break and conveyed him to the Bow sta tion. The up train passed directly after he seized the pri soner, and if he had not taken him away he would have been killed, and his body cut to pieces. The passengers were very much alarmed. Mr. Selfe—How did he get upon the line ? Witness—l really don't know. Many trains were con tinually passing up and down the line, and I can't under stand how he escaped being run down. Mr. Ellis, travelling inspector on the North London Railway, said the prisoner was very drunk and disorderly, and he not only endangered his own life, but put the whole train of carriages, with their passengers, in peril. The prisoner in defence said he drank two glasses of rum and a glass of beer, and some hock (German beer), and it got the better of him Mr. Selfe--You ought to be thankful you were not killed. It is a sad thing, by your propensity for strong drinks, you put your life in danger. It was God's providence you were not killed. You are a very foolish fellow, and you owe your life, in a great measure, to the activity of the guard who stopped the train and picked you up. You are fined 20s. for unlawfully trespassing upon the railway. THE BUILDERS' LOCK-OUT (THIS DAY). —It was anticipated that this morning would bring about some change, but, contrary to expectation, the workmen's resolve not to sign the obnoxious declaration remained unshaken, and all the workshops and buildings in the metropolis appear doomed to continue in the same inactivity that they have remained in during the last fortnight. This morning having been appointed for the payment of the first dividend from the Conference to the men locked out, an immense assemblage of the operatives took place in the vicinity of the Paviors' Arms, Johnson-street, Milbank, and at noon not less than 12,000 men were collected on Milbank and the adjacent streets. Several additional remittances arrived yesterday from all parts of the country, and it is stated that there is upwards of £20,000 in hand. All the men enrolled as lock-outs, whether society men or not, received the divi dend. It is expected by both masters and men that several weeks must yet elapse before anything like a satisfactory adjustment of the dispute can be arrived at. The men boast they can stand it for three mouths. Share Docks. Stock Commercial Stock Do 4 perCen t .Pref .
