MONEY MARKET. CITY E W S—:YESTERDAY. The discount market to-day was easier, and the demand at the Bank comparatively slack, but the rates ger.erally were maintained at to 2 per cent. for good bills. At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.70, and closed flatly at 68.80 for money and 68.75 for the account, being nearly the same as yesterday. At Paris and Berlin the rate of discount is now per cent. ; at Vienna, 5 ; Hamburg, 21, ; Turin, ; Frankfort and Brussels, 22 ; Amsterdam, 3,1 ; and at St. Petersburg, 51- per cent. The Gazette specie statement for the week ending Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz.:-- Imports of gold, £554,934 ; exports of gold, £ 1 ,027,033 ; imports of silver, £63,887 ; expo/ is of silver, £24,429. A further sum of £120,000 in gold, principally Australian, was sent into the Bank to day, while 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for Constanti nople, to pay, it is stated, for Internal Stock sold here. The next outward Bombay steamer, which will leave on the 27th, is expected to tak€ a large amount of specie, principally to pay for cotton. The final instalment of 9 per cent. falls due on the 27th inst. on Italian 5 per Cent. Maremmana Rail way Loan for £1,338,000 sterling, negotiated through Messrs. Hambro and Son in Feb. last. The London and Middlesex Bank will commence business on Sept. 1 under the management of Mr. Terry. The suspension was announced yesterday of Messrs. Crabtree, Aked, and Co., of Liverpool, a respectable firm in the Brazilian trade, with corre sponding Louses at Bahia and Pertiambuco. The amount of their liabilities is not stated, but it is probably rather considerable. The event is inferred to have. been caused by losses from the failures of other Brazilian houses which have occurred during the, past month. A deputation on behalf of Turkish Scrip holders, consisting of Messrs. R. W. Crawford, M.P., W. T. D. Stephens, A. P. Lattey, and W. and F. Froom, waited this afternoon on the Turkish Minister on the subject of the present condition of Turkish securities, and especially the new loan of 1862. His Excellency stated that the introduction of the internal debt or Consolides on the London market was entirely the result of operations by private capitalists, and, therefore, that the Turkish Government could not be reproached for any tem porary adverse effect created by their competition With the scrip. The dividends on the Cons olides are payable only in Constantinople, and )he secu rity of the holders is based on the general re venues of the Empire. He felt the most entire confidence in their value, but English investors must naturally prefer a security founded, as was the loan of 1862, under international arrangements. His Excellency finally remarked that he was not aware of a single circumstance that should render the holders of that loan less confident than they Were when they subscribed for it. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £851,500, and the exports, £1,348,200. The Australasian, from New York, has brought £77,922 in specie. Notice has been given that the sum of £34,721 has been applied to the redemption of 76 Peruvian 41 per Cent. Bonds, and £11,159 to the extinction of 112 Arica and Tacui Railway Bonds. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway, for the week ending the 12th inst., amounted to £50,966, being an in crease of £2,652, compared with the same period last year. On the Central of Italy branch from Plaisance to Bologna the returns were £3,832 , against £2,841 in 1861. A greater demand for discount accommodation has prevailed to-day, and although very little alteration has taken place in the quotations, an easier tone has been perceptible. Two O'CLOCK. IThe Liverpool Cotton Market today remains very strong, and the sales may probably reach 6,000 bales or more. At Paris, this Morning, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68f. 75c., showing no change. The market for Public Securities opened this Morning vcth an unfavourable appearance, and a further decline of k per cent. was speedily re ported, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 93k for account ; no variation has since occurred, and the quotations at the close indicated dulness. The New Threes have risen 931 -I; and the Reduced, 93 i 7,-; India 5 per Cents. are marked 1081 i; the 6 per Cent. Enfacsd Paper, 1034 104 i ; Debentures, 101 101; ; and Exchequer Bills, 18s. to 21s. prem. The dealings in the Foreign Market have not been of a very extensive character, but prices con tinue firm. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 85 86; ditto, 1858, 711 72; ditto New Loan Scrip, 1 tik dis. ; and the Consolides, 334 a ; Egyptian Scrip as 12 prem.; Portuguese 3 per Cents, are 464; and the New oan Scrip has advanced to 21 I prem.; Russian Scrip is par; and Italian 5 per Cents. are ; Brazilian, 1021. Mexican Stock has im proved to 29k ?,-„ but Sardinian are heavy at 831. In the Railway Share Market business gene ically has continued inactive, but in some instances prices exhibit an upward tendency. Lancashire .and Yorkshire, North - Westerns, Midlands, and South Easterns have improved 55., Great Westerns 10s., and South Wales £l. Caledonians, however, have declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in moderate request without any material alteration to record in value. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares gene rally sustain former rates.

THE CONDEMNED PRISONER TAYLOR AND HIS WIFE.—Mrs. Taylor has not yet left Liverpool; and in an interview which she had with her husband yesterday, be fore he was removed to Kirkdale, he expressed a desire that 2ho should not leave the town until after his execu tion, and with this wish she promised to comply. Taylor himself manifests not the slightest contrition for the act 'which caused Mr. Meller's death, and in any allusion Which he has since made to the subject he qualifies his con duct, and even intimates that under similar circumstances he Would take the same part again. Mrs. Taylor's uncle Was in Liverpool during the trial, and we understand still r emains in the town. The father, sister, and cousin of Taylor visited him before the trial. We understand that the Court of Inquiry v a l id, hes been sitting in Dublin to investigate certain matters connected with the Commissariat Department at the Curragh has made its report, but that no ulterior proceedings have been considered by the authorities to be necessary beyond en admonition to the officers concerned to exercise greater *vi gilance over their subordinates for the future.--dirmy Navy Gazette. 6HARE MARKET -THIS DAY.

The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of this company was held at 11 o'clock to-day at King's-cross Station— Edmund Denis, Esq., chairman of the board of directors in the chair. The report of the directors to the meeting, an abstract of which has already appeared in our columns, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the sums which had been added to the capital account. The first item was one of £280,000 for the pur chase of the Hertford and Luton line, and he was happy to say that the returns on this line were thus far exceedingly favourable, and in point of fact, the line repaid them what they paid for it; besides which they got the traffic, small as it was, between the King's-cross Station and that line, and the purchase of the line they thus considered a benefi cial arrangement. (Hear.) The sum of £55,730 Bs. 6d. towards the Garston and Liverpool Railway was a sub scription to a line in course of being made. Of the other sums there were £35,786 for works of various descriptions, detailed in the report, and £33,544 6s. 9d. for additional rolling stock, in fact, for new carriages. The sum total added to the capital, was £424,182 6s. 9d. He regretted that the capital of the Company should have been so mach increased, but he thought that there was not the slightest reason to apprehend that the money had been either hastily or injudiciously spent; that, on the contrary, it had been judiciously spent, and would amply repay them for their outlay. The next item, he thought, would be agreeable to them. It was the statement that the sum of £266,970 3s. 6d. had been received on account of the company's 4 per cent. debenture stock, and he thought it fair that he should make an observation upon that. When the project of raising the stock was first proposed and discussed, they were told that it could never he got at 4 per cent. There would be considerable doubt on the part of those in the Money Market as to whether they would take the stock. However the directors felt tolerably con fident of success, and the result showed that their confidence was not misplaced, as the total amount of the stock was £2,089,242 Bs. 6d. (Hear.) Regarding the revenue ac count, the gross receipts were £672,458 4s, 7d. against £650,798 2s. Ild. last year, but when they came to balance the account they found that they had to deduct from that £20,000, payable to the Nottingham and Grantham Com pany. That was charged upon the revenue, and for this time, and this time only, it altered the balance of the ac count. The Nottingham and Grantham line, although it could not be quite so favourably reported of as the Hertford and Luton line was as good as could Le expected ; besides which it secured their position upon the line between Gran tham and Nottingham, which if not secured would have fallen into the hands of competitors. Meantime, however, the payment had the effect of reducing their revenue, so that instead of £39,296 10s. Bd., the apparent balance of net revenue, they had only £19,296 10s. Bd. He was happy to say that this increase arose from the decreasing expenditure in the various departments,the locomotive department and others, a fact which did them great credit. With reference to the statement in clause 11 of the report that the charge for relaying the permanent way was £15,000 this year, as against £5,003 in 1861, he mightlexplain that this was a sum which might have been paid out of capital, but being paid out of the revenue was in fact a paying off of the debt to that amount, and he thought that the shareholders would agree that this was a prudent course for them to adopt. There was a sum left available for a dividend of £109,389 16s. 9d., which enabled them to declare a dividend of 4i per cent. on the original stock, or f per cent. more than at this time last year, and leave a balance of £1,460 4s. 11d. Regarding the bills introduced into Parliament, one had been passed, but another was rejected ea the second read • ing. As to that he thought it had been done without due consideration; however, they must bow to the decision, and consider it for the future. Several bills had been in troduced into Parliament prejudicial and detrimental to the interests of the company, which they thought it prudent to oppose. This opposition was unavoidable, though he regretted its involving them in great expense. He was sure that intelligent gentlemen must know perfectly well that it was as much their interest to protect their property from inroads as to prosecute for new bills which would benefit their line. He, however, regretted the system that took money out of their pocket, but it really could not be avoided. A SHAREHOLDER.—IB the remedy worse than the dis ease ? The CHAIRMAN said that was what they could not ascer tain, as they had not tried letting the disease run its course: Had the alternative of doing nothing been tried—they could not try both at once—they might have had all their traffic taken from them. He lamented the present system of par liamentary proceedings, as there was an immense amount of moue) thrown away• (Hear.) But it was asked again what were they to do ? To sit still and let these bills be prosecuted ? That would likely lead to them being seri • ously bled, if he might use the expression. The chairman concluded by expressing, in reply to questions, the hope that Parliament would be persuaded to take the subject of their procedure into consideration, and stating that he would not have the slightest objection to their passing a bill visit ing parties wrongfully opposing the bill with the expense of their opposition, he then moved that the report be received. Mr. PACKE, M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. GOETZ made a few remarks upon the subject of railway accidents and compensation to passengers injured, and asked if there was any amendment likely to be made in the law. The CHAIRMAN said the feeling among lawyers was, that Lord Campbell's Act was not working as intended, but he could not say whether any change in the law was likely. In the course of a conversation that followed on the subject, he said that the difficulty and absurdity in the present law was, that a poor man and a Rlan with £lO,OOO a year, though paying the same fare, and travelling in the same class of carriage, were treated differently when an accident occurred. Nothing could be more unjust, he thought, than the richer man, travelling at the same fare claiming compensation on his superior income. (Hear, hear.) If parties paid their fares according to their positions in life, or according to the sum they meant to claim, there would be some sense in the law, because their mode of paying would in effect give them a sort of in,urance fund. Referring to the law as to corn • mon carriers being only liable for animals up to a certain fixed sum, unless specially insured, even a race-horse, which might be worth a hundred guineas, was only valued at this maximum rate, he said that he did not see why the same principle should not apply to the carriage of passengers. (Applause.) Mr. HUGHES congratulated the directors on the favour able character of the report presented. Everything was couleur de rose, and the dividends were large. He observed, however, there was no sum in the account in connection with the Hitchin accident, and he thought that if there had been no payment to be entered as a charge against revenue, there should at least have been a sum entered as an out standing liability of the company. He censured much the system of subscribing to other lines, which he observed this company was still continuing, as they were proposing in this report to subscribe £90,000 in this manner. He thought that if they had let other lines alone, and kept to the trunk line, they would have followed a course which would have been much more likely to enhance the prosperity of the company. Other branch lines must have been made, and could not have avoided taking traffic to the Great Not them. Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT spoke in support of Mr. Hughes's views, and protested against the whole system of amalgamations. This course, if followed, would absorb the dividend altogether, a misfortune which had happened to other companies, and he hoped the directors would take warning in time. The CHAIRMAN said, regarding the Hitchin accident, that at the last trial a verdict against the company had been reduced from £13,000 to £9,000, but as to their further procedure, he did not wish to say anything. The directors were prepared to meet that liability, if it should be unavoid able, without encroaching on the capital of the company. As to the course of the company in their connection with other lines, ho thought that the course they had taken was unavoidable, and was the most conducive to their prosperity. He pointed to the dividend which was recommended, and remarked that Mr. Knight's prophecies as to the evils that were to happen had as yet been unrealised. After some further conversation, the motion was unani mously agreed to, Resolutions were then adopted declaring dividends on the original and A and B Stocks as recom mended in the report, as also resolutions authorising the directors to exercise the borrowing powers conferred on the company by the Garston and Liverpool Railway, and other acts to the extent of £91,0J0. The meeting was then resolved into a special meeting to sanction agreements with certain other companies under the powers of the " Stockport, Timerley, and Altrincham Junction Railway Act, 1861," the " West Cheshire Rail way Acts, 1861 and 1862," the " Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway Act; 1862," and the " Hatfield and St. Albans Railway Act, 1862," and to authorise subscriptions to the capital of the said West Cheshire, Edgware, Highgate and London, and Hatfield and St. Albans Companies, and the creation of stock for such pur pose. The heads of the various agreements were read over. Mr. Goezt and others opposed them on principle, as part of a system of railway management which they con demned ; while in reference to the Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway some shareholders thought that par ticular scheme injudicious, and that the expectations of traffic would not be realised. This opposition was, how ever, overruled, and the proposals of tho directors were agreed to. On the motion of Dr. REED a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and this terminated the proceedings. Yesterday three of the best of the American breech-loading rifles, a Whitworth, an Enfield, and the cavalry carbine (which has been reported on favourably by the Cavalry authorities at Maidstone), were removed from the International Exhibition for the purpose of being publicly tested at the long ranges at Wimbledon against the accuracy and penetration of the Enfield as a muzzle loader. CAPTURE OF A LARGE SALMON.—At the Stan nergate fishing station, east of Dundee, on Wednesday morning, the coblemen captured the largest salmon they have taken there for the past 30 years, It was 3ft. Sin, in length, 27 inches in breadth, and weighed 471 b. It was a remarkably fine fish, and, as its measurements show, ex ceedingly plump and heavy in proportion to its bizeo-- Dun& .11CklItittor. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A TAVERN. —Henry Walford, a cabinetmaker, with a half-starved appearance, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide at the Olive Branch Tavern, Thomas .street, St. George's. Mr. Edmund Buckley, of 11, High-road, Kensington, decorator, said yesterday afternoon he was taking his tea at the Olive Branch Tavern, about 5 o'clock, when he heard a rumbling noise in the water-closet, and on proceeding there saw the prisoner in a sitting posture, with a piece of rope round his neck, it having been broken from another piece hanging to a gas pipe. (The rope teas produced.) The rope, which was tied tightly round the prisoner's neck, having been removed, a constable was sent for. Mr. Tyrwhitt—He oweshislifeto you. Prisoner—The reason why I did it was, because I have b en out of work a long time, and have a wife and four children. Noyce, 176 D, said, yesterday afternoon he was called to the hause and informed that a man had attempted to hang himself. He found the prisoner sitting in the parlour, and he said he had no friends. He afterwards said ho had a wife and children at Bethnal-green. Prisoner said be was a cabinet maker. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he:would remand the prisoner for a week, and in the meantime if anything could be done for his family it should be done. It was a rash thing for such a young man to do. Prisoner was remanded. CAITTION TO CARMEN.—Peter Petoin, of 40, Uxbridge street, Notting-hill, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with using a pony in an unfit state. From the evidence of George Cheyce, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, it appeared that he saw the defendant driving the pony attached to a cart in Oxford-street, and übserving that it was in a state of suffering, he removed the collar and found an old wound three inches in length, into which the collar was pressing, and also another bad wound of some standing covered with blood. On speaking to the defendant, he said he had hired the horse, and did not know it had the wounds, but this was hardly possible. The pony was brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and bore out the officer's statement. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after making some remarks on the de fendant's conduct, fined him 108., or fourteen days. SOUTHWARK. A DARING ROBBERY.—Ann Judge, who has for some years been one of the most notorious thieves in the Borough, was charged before Mr. Combe with being concerned with a man named James Peckin, and two other persons who have not yet been apprehended, with committing the fol lowing audacious robbery : Pomeroy, 130 ISI, stated that on Thursday night last, about 10 o'clock, a gentleman in "Warwick-street, Borough road, informed him that he had just been robbed of a gold chain by two men and a woman. The gentleman stated that he had been knocked down by the parties, and he ap peared to have been treated with great roughness, He said that the assault was made on him as he was coming from the Blackfriars-road, when he was pounced upon by two men and one of the women. From the description which the gentleman gave of the parties he succeeded in appre hending Peckin the following day, and he was remanded yesterday until Friday. He also took the woman into cus tody last night. It appeared that Peckin, who denied the charge, was a returned convict. Mr. Combo inquired why the prosecutor was not pre sent, as his evidence would be necessary to enable him to commit the prisoners for trial ? Pomeroy said he understood he was suffering so severely from the injuries he had received that he was unable to at tend, but that he would be present in the course of next week. He said that he had no doubt he would be able to bring the charge home to the woman, and that he would be able to apprehend the other parties. The prisoner, who stoutly denied the charge, was re manded until Friday. THAMES. A DESPERATE WlFE.—Ellen Fitzgerald, a strapping Irishwoman, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with cutting and wounding her husband, Dennis, A labourer, whose left aim was bandaged. The parties have been for some time dweling in Alma place, Cartwright•street, Rosemary-lane. On Sunday last at dinner time, Dennis Fitzgerald was washing out a pocket handkerchief while his wife was eating her dinner, and he remarked that what he was doing was woman's work, not a man's work. This provoked the ire of the prisoner, who abused her husband, and took up a knife with which she inflicted two wounds on his arm. He was taken to the hospital, and has been under medical treatment ever since. He said he was only just recovering the use of his hand. He was very badly wounded, and lost a good deal of blood. The prisoner, in defence, said her husband attempted to choke her, and was a great vagabond. She called a witness named Briant, who said the Fitzgeralds were very sober people, and only had a " bobbery" now and then. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial at the Middle sex Sessions. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—Mary Johnson, aged 23, who was described as a prostitute, of 15, Star-street, Bromley, was charged with stealing £4 in gold from the person of Thomas Gibson, a watchmaker, of 1, Type-street, Bethnal-green. The prosecutor, a grave-looking old man, said he met the prisoner last night in Bromley, and she said that she had two sick children at home, and was in great distress. He wanted to act a father's part towards her, and took her to a chandler's shop and gave her bread and cheese and a pint of small beer, with a bottle of ginger beer in it. He then walked about with her, giving her fatherly advice, until half-past four o'clock this morning, when he missed four sovereigns, and then gave her into custody. Mr. Selfe--And you were walking about with her six hours and a half giving her fatherly advice? The prosecutor—Yes, sir, I have fourteen children of my own, and took pity on this young woman. Selfe—Don't you act a fatherly part again to frail women. The prisoner is discharged * . Give the man his gold. MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

The will of the Right Hon. Charles John, Earl and Viscount Cauning, K.G., G.C.8., P.C., K.S.I. (knight of the most exalted Order of the Star of India), lc te Governor-General of India, is now proved in her Majesty's Court of Probate, and has become a public document. It is lengthy, and bears date 1844, to which in 1855 a codicil was added. Both instruments were executed in this country. The executors nominated are the late Countess Can ning (the testator's wife), the most Hon. Henry de la Poer I3eresford, late Marquis Waterford, together with the surviving and acting executors, the Hon. and Rev. Gilbert Chetwynd Talbot, D.D., and the Right Hon. George Warren, Baron De Tabley. The property is considerable, the personalty alone in the United Kingdom being sworn under £250,000. The testator having no issue, it is directed to pass to his nephew, Lord Hubert de Burgh Canning, the second son of the Marquis of Clanricarde —the Marchioness of Clanricarde being the late Earl's sister—and that the estates shall remain in the possession of such younger issue of the Marquis whilst not inheriting the title. Strict injunctions are given that the possessor of the property is to assume, in addition to his own, the surname of Canning, and that, in all deeds and writings, the name of Canning is to be invariably used. The will of Vice-Admiral Sir George Tyler, of Cottrell, near Cardiff, Glamorganshire, was proved in London, under £25,000 personalty— the executors appointed being Lady Tyler, his relict; George Henry Tyler, Esq., his son; and the Rev. R. T. Tyler, M.A., Rector of Llantrithyd and and Mynachlogddu, the testator's brother. This naval officer was the eldest son of the late Admiral Sir C. Tyler, G.C.B. The family appear to be settled in Wales The testator represented the county of Glamorgan in Parliament, and was for merly governor of St. Vincent. The will is strictly a family one, and bears date 1858, and a codicil IS6I. Lady Tyler, the relict, takes a life interest n all the property, real and personal, sub- ject to the payment of certain annuities and legacies to their sons and daughters. On the decease of the widow the family estate called Cottrell, and other freeholds, are de vised to the testator's eldest son and his issue. The remainder of the property is left amongst the chil dren in certain proportions, the residue passing to the eldest son. The testator has bequeathed lega cies of £lOO each to two domestics who have been in his service for a lengthened period. The will of Samuel Francis Thomas Wilde, Esq., barrister-at•-law, of Sergeant's Inn, Fleet street, and of Hadley, Middlesex, was proved under £50,000 personalty, the executors and trustees being the relict, together with the testator's sons— Samuel John Wilde, Esq., and the Rev. Richard Wilde—and Frank Milne, Esq., of Hadley. The will is strictly a family one, and bears date, 1848, and a codicil so recently as the present year. To his relit, who takes a life interest in his estates, real and personal, he has also bequeathed his library and household furniture, together with a legacy of £5OO. The law-books are given to his eldest son. Upon the decease of the widow, the entire property is directed to be divided equally amongst the tes tat-A's children.—lllustrated London News,Ang. 23. THE MALIGNANT DISORDER AMONG SHEEP. Nearly a month has elapsed since the outbreak of small pox in Mr. Joseph Parry's celebrated Allington flock. The disorder is now spreading, to the great dismay of all flock masters, in Wilts, Hants, and Dorset. The rumours re specting the calamity are exceedingly numerous, and many of them utterly false, those in particular that apply to places in mid• Hampshire, and to a district westward of S,uthampton, on the immediote border of Dorsetslaire. We can make this assertion on the best authority. With re gard to the spread of the disorder in Wiltshire, we find the most reliable information in the Devizes Gazette of yester day. It would appear that up to Monday morning no symptom of infection had manifested itself beyond Ailing ton, and as a few more days would have seen Mr. Parry's sheep through the last stage of the disease, the adjoining fi , ckmasters entertained good hope that the loathsome and fatal malady would have been eradicated without doing fur ther mischief. The disease, however, has shown itself in a flock of 400 beautiful fat wethers belonging to Mr. Harding, of Etchilhamp ton, which were being corn-fed in prepara tion for Wilton fair, on a spot at least a mile and a half from Allington, and divided from it by the canal and by intermediate farms. Naturally apprehensive for the safety of his flock, Mr Harding had, immediately upon hearing that the disease had broken out among Mr. Parry's sht ep, his own flock removed to the remotest corner of his farm. They were ac cordingly placed in a field near " the Monument," adjoin ing the Salisbury load, where it seemed almost impossible that the disease could reach them—without, at all events, first passing through the flocks which were folded on the intermediate farms. About midday on Monday the atten tion of the shepherd was arrested by the staggering gait of some of the sheep, and upon an examination being made, it was unmistakeably apparent that the dreaded malady had come among them. Mr. Harding at cace went over to Allington to consult with Mr. Parry, and, finding that Pro fessor Simonds was expected from London on the following day, he awaited the arrival of that eminent veterinary, and on Tuesday Professor Simonds examined the flock, and by his advice the whole of the sheep cn Monday were inocu lated, as the most likely means of lessening the fatal conse quences of the attack. The consternation which this fresh outbreak has caused will, as the Devizes paper points out, readily be understood, and the danger is the more alarming from the inexplicable way in which the disease has been conveyed. Had it ap peared in either of the flocks on adjoining farms to Mr. Parry's, it might in some way have been accounted for, but there is no means of accounting for its appearance on the spot where it has now shown itself—far removed, as we have said, from Allington Farm, and with flocks folded on intermediate land, which up to the present time are per fectly healthy and well. The medicines which have been used in the case of the Allington flock have been very simple, consisting chiefly of nitrate of potass, mingled with the water which is placed in the troughs, until a subsistence of the fever takes place, after which sulphate of iron has been s ubstituted. Where diarrhoea has come on—as it not , in f r equently does in the latter stage of the malady, mo re p articularly if the p ox becomes confluent—opium is r ecommended as a val uable agent to arrest the attack, w hich, if not quickly stopp e d, very soon carries off the sheep. In short, the general principles which Professor Simonds lays down for the guidance of flockmasters who may happen to be visited with an attack of small-pox among their sheep are—to isolate the infected sheep from the healthy, to separate the former into small lots, to protect them from at mospherical changes, to husband the strength of the pa tients by good nursing ; to use depletive remedies with the greatest caution, and only in the first stages ; to have early recourse to stimulating and tonic agents; to guard against the use of local applications, except when ulcerous sores exist ; and last, but not least, to call in the services of a properly educated veterinary surgeon, and rely with con fidence on his judgment and skill. Nearly three weeks have now elapsed since Mr. Parry's flock wet() inoculated, and it is worthy of remark that out of 446 ewes in which the disease was thus artificially, as it were, produced, he has lost only four, while of those which took the disease naturally, the losses have already been 60 per cent., and there are lumbers of other sheep of the recovery of which there is little hope—indeed, the total loss of those who have taken the disease in a natural way, Mr. Parry estimates, will not be much short of 65 per cent. Putting this, therefore, in contrast with the results after inocula tion, which, under the most unf ‘vourable circumstances, are not expected to average a mortality of more than 5 per cent., the desirableness of inoculation immediately upon the appearance of the disease in a flock, is placed beyond doubt. The deaths in the Allington flock up to the present time cannot be reckoned at less than 400; but as the lambs were not inoculated for at least a week after the older portion of the flock it is impossible to say what the ultimate result will be. One thing, however, is already apparent —that the lambs which are affected as those whi c h t oo k th e di seas e n aturally , and the re sickening are by no means so seriously seems every reason to hope that the rate of mortality will be light even among this portion of the flock, although young sheep are, as a rule, always more susceptible to the inautnce of the disease than those of older growth. 7HE ROUPELL CASE. The following additional particulars in reference to this most extraordinary trial will, doubtless, be interesting to the public. It was stated that after . Mr. Roupell had been examined before the magis trates at Guildford he was fully committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court ; and. as the August session of that court had only just commenced, and the grand jury were still eitting, it was thought that he would have been at once conveyed to New gate, and that the case might possibly come on at the present session. It appears, however, that the committal was for the September session, and the prisoner was consequently, in the ordinary course, taken to Horsemonger-lane Prison, the county gaol for Surrey, within which district the offence was alleged te , have been committed ; and he will be re moved to Newgate with the other Surrey prisoners shortly before the September session, which will commence on the 22d of that month. It appears to be not at all improbable that some more proceedings of an extraordinary nature are likely to arise in reference to this peculiar case. 'The public is aware that Mr. Roupell was given into custody by Mr. Baron Martin, the presiding judge, and taken before a magistrate upon the charge of forging the deed of gift. The only evidence that was then gone into in support of the charge, was proof that he had admitted, while under examination, that he had forged the deed in question; and upon this evidence atone he stands committed. It ap pears, however, that such evidence is considered totally insufficient to support such a charge, and that if he should be tried upon this evidence alone, the result would be that he would be acquitted. It appears to be also very doubtful whether such evi dence would be admissible, particularly as it was given without a caution from the judge that Mr. Roupell was not bound to answer any questions that might tend to criminate himself, and under the compulsion of an oath. This case would appear to show the necessity for a public prosecutor, or some official whose duty it would be to see that justice was not defeated. Mr. Tongue, the gentleman who was bound over to prosecute, is merely the associate who sits on the civil side during the as sizes ; and he is not all connected with criminal matters. If he were to incur the expense of put ting the case into the hands of some experienced attorney, with instructions to proceed with the pro secution and procure the necessary evidence to sup port the charge, it would appear that there is no source from whence the money so expended could be refunded ; so that it is not very likely that he will incur so serious a responsibility, and there is no one else to do so. From the abrupt termination of the case at the Guildford assizes, the evidence that was to have been adduced on behalf of the defendant was not alluded to ; if this had been gone into, it would have tended to make the inquiry of a still more extraordinary character. The defendant, Mr. Waite, is a tradesman in London, and possessed of considerable property; and the Norbiton Farm Estate was purchased by him, at the auction mart, for £15,000 ; and he has since laid out £5,000 upon the property ; so that he had a very large sum at stake, and when he was called upon. to give up the property on the ground that the deeds that were executed were not valid, upon the supposition that a forgery had been committed, he spared no ex pense in procuring evidence, and the case that would have been set up on his behalf was that both the deed of gift and the will of the 2d of September, 1856, under which Mr. Roupell came into possession of the propertywere genuine instruments, and very strong evidence would have been brought forward to establish these facts. It would of course have also been suggested that Wm. Roupell's con fession of forgery was merely an afterthought for the purpose of getting the property back to the use of his family; and there were a great many strong facts that would have materially favoured such a suggestion. It appears there were nearly 50 wit nesses at Guildford on behalf of the defendant, a great many of whom had had intimate and exten sive business transactions with Richard Palmer Roupell, the father of Mr. Wm. Roupell, and were perfectly well acquainted with his handwriting,and the greater part of these witnesses would have ex pressed their positive belief that the signature to the will and the deed of gift were the genuine sig nature of the old man, and they would have spoken to this important fact without the slightest doubt or hesitation; and it at the same time appears to be perfectly clear that, but for what has since taken place, the genuineness of these signatures would never for a moment have been disputed. Besides the evidence of these witnesses as to the handwrit ing, there were a great many who would have proved positively that the deceased had upon seve ral occasions stated that he had given the Kingston estate to his son William, and that he had nothing more to do with it, and this would have been very material evidence in support of the supposition that the deed of gift was a genuine instrument ; and if the case had gone to the jury upon these facts, it is very doubtful whether the defendant would not have obtained a verdict. It has been already stated that the amount of property squandered away by William Roupell was between £200,000 and £300,000; but there are grounds for believing that in addition to this enor mous sum, he is cossideeably in debt, and otherwise involved, Before he left Guildford he was served with a writ for £5OO by one of the officers of the Sheriff of Surrey. A correspondent of the Times writes as follows "In the course of the examination of Mr. Roupeli it will have been observed that he more than once stated that he had been robbed and defrauded by others'; yet, strange to sa y , this avowal was not followed in either instance by what would app e ar to have been the nat ural rejoinder, By whom ?' Had this, 29 it appears to me, pertinent question been asked, I believe startling revelations would have been the r esult. It may be t rue , an d doubt less is, that neither his mother nor brother knew of these forgeries and frauds until the evening prior to his leaving this country, but it is generally believed in this borough that another relative who has had from Mr. Roupell the great bulk of the money he has raised, not only knew of the forgeries prior to his leaving this country, but was cognisant of them soon after they were perpetrated, and has from time to time mad e thi s k nowledge t h e means of enforcing his demand s , T he insert i on o f this letter may, perhaps, tend to a little enlightenment on these points at the coming trial." THE MURDERS IN 7HE NORTH. 9 the two ruffians NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, AUG 22 hole at the Hi g h C rane, upon t h e who e oh t n ixo br ll ew n and pa Thomastriekßegerl‘i Rogers, alias Needle Jack, through a privy Saturday last, and from the tide under a ship's wQhueanycssidebe of this was swept town, b o y n stern and drowned, have been committed by the magistrates to -day to take their trial on a charge of wilful murder. Th e f acts, as a dd uce d i n ev id e nce, were precisely these reported in The Sun on Mon day. The prisoners bad followed the old man, who was drunk, into the privy, and after one of them had singed his hai r w i t h a lighted paper they had thrown him into the tid e, an d f rom thence he had slid into the river, and was drowned. It seems that when his body was found the old man's coat was drawn over his arms, the effect of which would be that he could have made no exertions in the water to save himself. Yesterday the coroner's jury concluded the inquest upon the body of Ann Halliday, the old woman who was barbarously murdered in the village of Hobbie- Trot, near Chester-le-street, on Sunday week. It was proved by additional evidence at yesterday's sit ting that any one in th e house of the Irishman Cox, who, with his wife, are in custody on charge of cottage b having murdered the old woman, could have h ear d everything that transpired in the hous e o f t h e ol d woman ; and that the people murde r efore Cox came into it always overheard the poor old creature say` whon the occupied night o t f h e the ing her prayers before she retired to rest of a night. This evidence strongly confirmed the impression that if the old woman's house had been broken open and she herself brutally maltreated by p e rsons other than the Coxs, they m us t h ave h e ard it. It was also proved that the old woman's door had been broken in. So the allegation made by the p r i soners that they he ar d not hi ng o f any disturbance , and were only aw o k e b y their hearing the old woman groan, as if she had fallen out of bed, could not be true. The Jury, after the summing. up of the Coroner,. Mr. Favill, found a ver dict of wilful murder against ' , i the prisoners ? John Cox , and s wife Mary COX, I I 2s. 6d.
