ITY NEWS. SHARE 11101yEy mil . CITY, Two o'CLocK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets has been rather inactive during the last day or two. Most of the principal staples, how ever, have supported former values. Teas at pub sale, brought fully late prices. Coffee has unproved 6d. to is., and cocoa 2s. to 3s. per cwt. Sugars, however, have been rather cheaper, Particularly West India qualities. In the refined market the trade have bought rather freely owing to a Slight decline in prices. Rice has exhibited rather more firmness, but little variation has taken P la ce in the value of saltpetre and tallow. The Public sales of foreign and colonial-wool have been Well attended, and the prices exhibited at the com- Menceinent of the series have been well maintained for all descriptions. The Liverpool Cotton" Market yesterday closed quietly' and 6,000 bales were sold at previous v alues. I n R a il way Shares the transactions con tinued on a limited scale, and prices exhibited a further decline. It is expected that the particulars of the New Rossian Loan will be announced either to-morrow or un Monday, and the terms will probably be sufßciently favourable to attract numerous sub scribers. The amount required is stated to be £12,000,000, which it is proposed to raise on a 3 Per lit stock. -d ie recent re d uc ti on i n th e t erms o f di scoun t a t th e Bank of France, viz., from 4 to 31 per cent., Prepared those interested in the course of monetary rail's for a f avoura bl e mon thl y b a l ance - s h eet, b ut " resUlts, in most instances, have exceeded expec tation. According to telegraphic advices received this morning the bullion is larger by £2,700,000 th an at the corresponding date of the previous I°ll3th, while th e di scoun t o p era ti ons o f th e estab 18anlent have been lesSenid during the same Period by nearly £2,750,000. It appears, more er, that the advances . on securities have been diminished to a still, mote important extent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of 1 / I) g l and yesterday. The bar - silver 'by' the last Die dollars v _ eli can packet has not yet been. disposed of, but have been sold at ss. id. per oz., being a ; decli ne of ld. compared with. the price realised ° r the previous supply. At the R i` special meeting this day of the Peel er Land and Mineral Company, Mr. Hughes I t u the chair, a resolution was passed for converting Paid-up sh ares i n t o a gener al stock, divisible 111 ang the proprietors according to their respective interests therein ; no transfer of any, fractional Part 0. 15 to be allowed.'

The motive which the :Isoner alleged for having committed the crime was that his wife,, had proved unfaithful to him. During his trial e 5 "meal:tour was calm and respectful, and since his con* lieni?aation he had conducted himself with great propriety. 0 , tols be en most att en ti ve to the ministrations of the Oaplain, and h as b een very earnest in his devotions. He his never questi one d the justice of his sentence, but said ha(lwlifeved was a wo man of most irritable temper, and that he s , _ unhappily with her for years. Wilthew was in ' t ile 66th year of his age, and he met his fate with great for iltde and calmness He arose between 5 and 6 o'clock, . ald ' i n company with . the chaplain, afterwards spent some tilde • t ,, ~ in the chapel in devotional exercises. At 10 minutes t i' i 3O 0 clock Mr. W. Wooller, the under-sheriff, went into No,,"_Prison and demanded the body of Wilthew.

The governor of the prison, the deputy 7rt lernor, the four sheriff's officers, and the three gaol olli t;;tis followed.

SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before. Mr. Potter and a jury.) SINGULAR STREET AC CIDENT - ABRAHAMS V. APPLEBY. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages (laid a, £100) sustained _ by plaintiff, a dressmaker, under the fol lowing circumstances. Mrs. Abraha'ms said that on the Bth December last she was walking in Great Cromer -street. When passing de fendant's house witness stepped upon the round coal shoot. The shoot sprang up went some yards into the street, and witness's leg was so much injured that she was confined to her bed for ten weeks, suffering much agony. During the whole of those ten weeks witness (whose average earnings are 255. per week) could not follow her ordinary occupation, and was a severe sufferer in a pecuniary point of view. Witness was much shaken by the shock, and her mind slightly affected. Defendant keeps an oil shop. The surgeon who attended plaintiff deposed that Mrs. Abraham's leg was very much injured and the shin bone exposed. She suffered from inflammatory fever for one fortnight. Witness attended her for four months. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default, and Mr. Langford for plaintiff contended that these coal shoots were illegal though connived at and tolerated. Ifparties would have them they were bound to keep them secure, and if through neglect parties were injured the owners of the shoots must pay. In addition to plaintiff's personal loss the d actor's bill was £l6 ls. 99} II 100 341 i 72 2 91 97 The learned Secondary said -the party did not wilfully leave the shoot open, but it was left open and be was answerable. The jury would say the amount of damage to be awarded. The jury found for plaintiff,:damages, £33 lOs ; being £l6 Ehe doctor's bill, and £5 for plaintiff's suffering, £l2 lOs loss of time and money. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR APPLICATION FOR PROTECTION.—A tall, middle-aged man, stepping into the witness-box, said he wanted his worship's advice.' He said—Five days after I was married, your worship, my wife bit me through the arm— Mr. Bingham That is a strange way of showing affection. Applicant—lt was not affection, but because 1 made an admission to her that I had a little family of three—the youngest being about twelve. • Mr. Bingham—You should have told her before you were married. Applicant—My dear, affectionate, and ancient friend — (laughter)—l took the first favourable opportunity, but she at once pitched into me, and, my dear sir, only just look here—l'm bruised here, there, and everywhere, be hind and before, top and bottom. (Laughter.) I'm not a " snob" or a tailor, that sits at his work all day, and can hide his marks, but I'm a pen-dealer, and go into respec • table shops; and (in a very appealing way), my dear sir, look at me, see how disfigured I am. She has also de spatched one of my girls. Mr. Bingham—what, killed her ? (Laughter.) Applicant—Oh no, sent her away. She's caused my son to enlist and made him lead another away. Mr. Bingham--Sometimes these attacks are marks of endearment, but I think not in this case, and I will'protect you from your Amazonian rib. You can have a summons— Applicant (interrupting) —Oh dear, it must be done at once, my dear friend. I can't go . back. Mr. Bingham—Then you can have a warrant. Applicant (leaving the court)—Thank you, my dear' friend. )0: rer:rt. and Elder. TUE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EvP,NING, AUGUST 12, 1859. LIrEL :T uRE. island itself which has received the successiVe de signations of,Juana, Ferdinand, Santiago,-and Ave Maria . from. its rulers, should. still preserve its Indian name of Cuba. On. arriving at an hotel in company with some other paSsengers the author complains of the' feeling of . discouragement which a traveller uriacenstomed to the tropics eperienceTS• froni the Lindifferenee - and want of attention .of every one about. At length he learns, from Spanish lad in charge of one part .of the' establish ment.; that. i` things whiclfwe cannot do withoirt We must go out of the house to findiand those 'which we can do:without we must dispense with." • On this hint the travellers'act; and uniting their scraps of information contrive as best they can.' :While in Havana he sees a melancholy sight— • ' Saturday, F e b ruary 19.—There are streaks of a clear .dawn; it is,nearly Six o'clock; `the cocks are crowing, and the driunS'and:trumpets sounding. We have been told ol sea-baths, cut in the rock, near the, Punta, at the foot of our Pasco. I walk down, under trees, towards the Presidio. What is this 'clanking sound ? Can it be cavalry marching on foot, their sabres rattling on the pavenient ? No ; it comes from that crowd of poor-looking creatures who are forming in files in front of the Presidio. It. is , the chain gang I Poor wretches ! I come nearer to them, and wait until they are formed and numbered and Marched off. Each man has 'an iron band rivetted round his ankle, and another round his waist; and the chain is fastened,' one end into each 'of - these bands, and dangles be ' tween them, clanking with every movement. This leaves the wearers free to,use their arms, and, indeed, their whole body, it being only a wei g ht an d a b a d ge and a note fo r discovery, from which they cannot rid themselves. It is kept on them dayand night—working, eating, •ei sleeping. In some cases, two are chained together. They have passed their night in the Presi io (the great priSon and garrison), and are marshalled for their day's toil in the public streets and on the public works, in the heat of the mi . .' ' They look thormighly wretched. Can any of these be . polititid offenders? It is said that' Carlists, fremnOld Spain, w or k e d in this gang. Sentence to, the Chain-gang in summer, in the case of a foreigner, must be nearly certaindeath. He visited. many .plantations, and acquired much information respecting them. Oil one large sugar plantation he conversed with the-engineer, who told him that the crop' this year was. a favourable one, which would yield in well-managed planta tions . a net interest of from 15 to,2s.per cent. on . the investment ;• birt the risks are great, as the cane-fields are liable to fires, which spread with great rapidity and are difficult to extinguish. Last year Mr. C--, the owner of this plantation, lost 7,000:dols, in a few hours by fire,. and 12,000 dots. in a few days by cholera among the negroes.- Mr. Dana.gives an interesting description of the sugar culture and cane crushing. Labour is so valuable in Cuba that a citizen will give four hundred dol lars for the chance of enforcing eight years labour, from a Coolie, who. is bound for.that period, and to whom he is obliged to pay four dollars a month, though the Coolies hold suicide to be a virtue, and if subjected to • corporal punishment frequently escape from their troubles in that fashion. Mr. Dana gives a fearful picture of the' Grand Carpel of Havana. He stiys that no man whose notions are' derived from an English or American penitentiary of the last fifty years, can form an idea of the great Cuban prison.

This is a' story of domestic'life, and, on the whole, it is a very readable novel. The tale is told by one . of a family of orphans, who are left to the' care of some relations—the three sisters being taken by their uncle to his .country. house. • Without any thing remarkable occurring, the book is full of events ; and towards the conclusion there are some powerful descriptions given of the' many troubles that befall the two families who were united as one. The uncle of the heroine, Sophie, is over whelmed with misfortune, and the effects that are thus produced seem more striking among his adopted than his real family. Angelica, the eldest, decides on making a rich marriage. Sir Brutus Bouverie was sincerely attached to her, but it was not in his power to make her life contented, still less happy. There was a sad end to. poor Angelica's brilliant prospects, and her sudden death cast a gloom over the circle before she had been able to put into prac tice any of her schemes for their benefit. Florence,' the second sister, was attached to a poor curate, which caused great annoyance to- her aunt Barbara.; but when affairs grew so bad, her uncle Denne allowed her to fulfil her engagement; and a small living having been procured, it was hoped that one out of the afflicted circle was satisfactorily settled. But'through bad management Florence's home was as uncomfortable as could well be imagined. The picture drawn of its disarrangements and miseries, on the occasion of a visit from Sophie, is very well done, and the prototype of " Whirlingham" may be found in many a distracted household. The au thoress appears to advantage in her details of domestic infelicity ; as " Freshfield, the mansion of Sir Brutus, discloses an equally graphic sketch of gilded misery ; and the wretched Angelica fur nishes a striking warning to these who marry for gold, from whatever motive they may be induced to do so. The most pleasing of the cha rac t ers are Sophie and her cousin Eric. The latter is sUperior to the rest of his family, being gifted with a talent for painting, which he turns to account in the dark days that come upon Daundelyonn. Sophie is a charming girl, full of consideration for others, and endowed with a spirit to resist minor troubles, and an energy to endure great trial s . Sh e was the hope of all, ever appealed to in perplexity, and relied on in danger. Her career was singularly trying from the period of her entering into society till the conclusion of these records it was one series of pecuniary embarrassments, home troubleS; and other calamities, she was better fitted than eihter of her sisters to struggle in the battle of life, for instead of sinking under the pressure as they did, she rose to meet the emergency with a courage that would not quail, and with a trust in better times, that enabled her to come out of the contest more than conqueror. The story is told in a genuine manner, and the various incidents are recorded With skill and exactitude. The misfortunes of the master of Danndelyonn, in being driven from his old in heritance, are touchingly narrated, and although such a calamity as this is " the tale, the truth of every day," the agony of such a farewell, and the desolation of such, a departure seem to strike the reader as forcibly,' as if related for the first time. The book contains some passages which are rather exaggerated; on.. the subject of .clairvoyanee, as. Sophie several times sees•the forms of her relations who appear mysteriously before her, and some days after she hears of their death. „'This, will ,please some wonder-seeking readers, but the subject is too often introduced. It is not likely that this novel will be otherwise than attractive, as without being anything extraordinary, it contains some scenes of exciting interest, and has passages that are written with power.

A mournful interest is attached to this work, and it possesses a claim on the attention from the fact of its author having been an eye-witness of the fearful scenes he describes. The lapse' of time since the awful events that are here recorded took place may have subdued in some degree the first frenzied excitement that the recital awakened, but it can never efface the recollections that are aroused by the mention of the very name of the place which witnessed one of the most frightful scenes that the. malice of mortal cruelty ever devised. Captain Thompson observes, in the preface, that so many conflicting statements have been Made con cerning the events that took place, that he feels it incumbent upon him to present the public with his own recollections. He also desires to refute the not beta full and lengthened ,personal experience, he lied better trust to reasonable deductions froui established facts. The established facts are that false charges that were made in some obscure jour nals in India, of a want of courage in the defenders of the garrison. The other survivor has not been able to render any assistance to his friend in the task of compiling these records, and therefore this work is described by the author as from first to last "an effort of memory." It is eminently to his credit that he should have acquitted himself of this task in so admirable a manner. There are many who will feel deeply indebted to Capt. Thomson for thus affordingthem the opportunity of perusing an authentic account of so important an occurrence. The descriptions of the escape of the fortunate few —four in number at first, but two have since died —is very exciting. Assailed by a mob of sepoys, they took refuge in a temple, which the mob sur rounded, and having piled up faggots at the en trance, they cut off their retreat. The following passage records one of the most striking escapes that has ever occurred in the annals of warfare When the pile of faggots had reached the doorway, or nearly so, they sot them on fire, expecting to suffocate us ; but a strong breeze kindly sent the great body of the smoke away from the interior of the temple. Fearing that the suffocating sultry atmosphere would bo soon insupportable, I proposed to the men to sell their lives as dearly as possi ble; but we stood until the wood had sunk down into a pile of embers, and we began to hope that we might brave out their torture till night (apparently the only friend left us) would let us get out for food and attempted escape. But' their next expedient compelled an evacuation; for they brought bags of gunpowder, and threw them upon the red hot ashes. Delay would have been certain suffocation—so out we rushed. The burning' wood terribly marred our bare feet, but it was no time to think of trifles. Jumping the parapet, we were in the thick of the rabble' in an in stant ; we fired a volley, and ran a-muck with the. bayonet. Seven of our number succeeded in reaching the bank of the .river, and we first threw in our guns and then ourselves. The weight of ammunition we had in: our pouches carried us under the water ; while we were thus submerged, we escaped the first volley that they fired. We slipped off the belts, rose again, and swam ; and by the time they had loaded a second time, there were only heads for them to aim at. I turned round, and saw the banks of the river thronged with the black• multitude, yelling, howling, and firing at us ; while others of their party rifled the bodies of the six poor fellows we left behind. Presently two more were shot in the head; and ono private, ityan, almost sinking from exhaustion, swam into a sandbank and was knocked on the head by two or three ruffians waiting to receive him. These villians had first promised Lieu tenant Delafosse and private Murphy that if they would come to the shore they should be' protected, and have food given to them. They were so much inclined to yield that they made towards , the bank, but suddenly and wisely altered their determination. Infuriated with disappoint ment, one of them threw his club at Delafosse ; but in the height of his energy lost his balance and fell into deep water; the other aimed at Murphy, and struck him on the head. For two or three hours we continued swimming'; often Changing our position, and the "current helping our progress. At length our pursuers gave up the chase ; a sower on horseback was the last we saw of them." one race, having.all power in its hands, holds an inferior - race in slaverY;''that this bondage exists in cities, in populous neighbourhoods, and in re mote distriets; that the owners are human beings of tropical races; that the slaves are htinian beings just emerging from barbarism, and that no small • part of this power is . exercised by a lose-lived and. low-minded . class,nf intermediate agents. ''What is likely to be the. effect on all the parties to this system, judging from all we know of human nature ?" The descriptions of the scenery, the voyage, and all tbC little incidents of travel, are written with force and spirit. We commend this volume to the notice of those who wish to acquaint themselves with the mysteries of sugar plantations and life in the tropics. 111AJO.R • RJ - 10DES' CURVILINEAR To Cuba and Back. By R. N. Dana, jun., author of " Two Years before the Mast," &c. Smith This account of a vacation voyage by the author of " Two Years before the Mast," is likely to attract many readers. He gives a clear and well written account of his residence in the island, and of his impressions of the people and system of go vernment. In the first chapter some of his old recollections of a naval life are evident. TENTS. (From the United Service Gazette.) Two of these tents have been pitched in front of the Garrison' Hospital at Chatham,.for the purpose of testing their durability and adaptation to mili tary uses ; • one is called the hospital, and the other a field tent. The hospital tent is 30 feet long, 15 wide, and 10 high, and can conveniently accommo date twenty patients. It has the form of a long oval, and when the patients lie down on each side of the tent, there is sufficient space left in the middle for a passage ; it is occupied by invalids and they speak very highly of it. The atmosphere is pure and wholesome, and although the heat has been excessive, the tent has been cool and comfortable. The tents differ essentially in their construction from the Line-encampment tents; the principal support does not consist in the tent poles, but in ribs, the upper parts of which are flexible, thus forming a vaulted frame, over which the covering is placed. The manner of pitching is this : a ground line is laid down, giving tlre . bare plan of the tent. It is provided with eyes . or openings ; through which the bottom ends'of the ribs are passed on being fixed into the earth—the upper parts of the ribs are then inserted into the hollows of a head piece bent towards each other, and being thus secured,,the frame-work of the tent is ready. After fastening of the storm lines, the entire tent is corn= plete ; since the tent has been up, it has been well tried by three storms, violent in their character, the wind blowing strong gales. The tent has withstood the blaSig admirably, and the inmates felt no effects from the rain or lightning and thunder. The interior of the tent has been perfectly dry, and as the tent has a vaulted roof there is no lodgment for any water.' Major-General Eyre, and other officers belonging to the garrison .have .visited the tents, and Dr. Andrew Maclean, Surgeon .Major Ist Depot Battalion, who has paid much attention to them, has reported very favourably of their merits to the Inspector-General of HOSpitals, J. R. Taylbr, C.B. There is 'another , advantage . in these tents; they contain an arni-rack, composed of two short.ropes (each about six inches in length), having a loop a.nd wooden toggel or pin at alternate ends ; these ropes are fixed' tti the canvas sides 'of the tent at about three feet, off the ground, but at the juncture o f th a t part of the 'canvas which touches the ribs, so that by placing the butt-end of two, muskets on the inside curtain .at, or close against the butt-end of the rib which has been forced into the ground, and by cir culating round tho top end of the barrels the two short ropes, and ,then fastening the latter, the mus kets are securely and handily placed upright against the sides of the tent. • The accoutrements can be hung over the 'ropes, between the 'Canvas of the tents and the barrels of-the muskets. The out side covering of these tents is ofunbleached cotton. There is another canvas covering inside, blue and white striped, the ingress of heat and cold is by , these means very much moderated. In the upper part of ' the ark there are ventilating holes, which can be opened' and closed at pleasure ; by these ineans the atmosphere of the tent can be kept per fectly pure; indeed, the tents are spoken very highly of, on every ground, and have particularly elicited -the encomiums of officers conversant with camping of troops. Owing to the large expanse of the inte rior and head room, soldiers can stand upright in the Rhodes' tents, which is more than can be done in any others. We are glad to see that the highly respectable houses of S. W. Silver and Co., Corn hill, and Isaac, Campbell, and Co., the army clothiers, have taken upon themselves the wholesale manufacture of these tents, and there can be no doubt that they willsoon supersede all other kinds. It is the intention of the authorities to practise the whole of the troops in Dublin in camp life and field drill as much as possible during the present season. The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards marched from the Curragh Camp on Mon day into the country, where they were to remain in the new (French style of) tents' red'abrrA second for three days, and afterwards return to ca p. Monday, and regiment e on adopt until all are thesame plan next practised. By night, I walk deck for a couple of hours with the young captain. After due inquiries about his family in Georgia, and due remembrance of those of his mother's line whom we loved, and the public honoured, before the grave or the sea' closed over them, the fascinating topic of the navy, the frigates and the line-of-battle ships and little sloops, the storms, and wrecks, and sea-fights till up the time. He loves the navy still, and has left it with re gret; but the navy does not love her sons as they love her. On the quarter-deck at 15, the first in rank of his year, favoured by his commanders, with service in the best ves sels, making the great fleet cruise under Morris, taking part in the actions of the Naval Brigade on shore in Cali fornia, serving on the Coast Survey, a Man of science as well as a sailor,—yet what is there before him, or those like him, in our navy ? The best must continue a subal tern, a lieutenant, until he is grey. At fifty, he may be entitled to his first command, and that of a class below a frigate ; and if he survives the African fevers and the Isth mus fevers, and the perils of the sea, he may totter on the quarter-deck of a line-of-battle ship when his skill is out of date , and his capacity for further command problemati cal. And whatever may be the gallantry of the merit of his service, though he may cut off his right hand or pluck out his eye for the country's honour, the navy can give him no promotion, not even a barren title of brevet, nor n badge of recognition of merit, though it be but a star, or a half yard of blue ribbon. The most meritorious officers receive large offers from civil life; and then, it is home, family, society, education of children, and pecuniary competency on the one side, and on the other, only the navy, less and less Attractive as middle life draws on.

NARROW ESCAPE PROM DROWNING.—Anna Goggin, a woman of the town, was charged' with attempting to com mit suicide in the London Dock. • - Mr. Stephen Warren Devereux, a tnaster baker carrying on business in High-sireet, Shadwell, stated that ho was passing over the new Gravel-lane-bridge, Shadwell, and saw the prisoner, who was in a very excited and drunken condition, jump over the railings doge to him. He caught her by her clothes as she was going over, pulled her back and remonstrated with her. She then commenced beating her companion, a female who was with her. He was leaving the bridge not suspecting she would make another attempt, when she sprung to the. railings a second time, and before she could be prevented plunged into the lock, the waters of which are upwards Of 22 feet in depth. He raised 'an alarm, but before any assistance could be ren dered she sunk. The water was very dark and dirty, and the do'ck watchman, who had a long hitcher or pole with a hook at the and of it, could not sed the prisoner. MI directed the watchman to the spot where the prisoner had disappeared, and he put down the hitcher and brought her up. She was quite insensible, and on being brought on shore it was some time before she could be resuscitated. The prisoner was very much intoxicated when she threw herself into the water. A police constable said that many women of the class called unfortunate had thrown themselvea into the water at the same place, and several had been drowned. The prisoner, who was much dejected, was remanded until Wednesday next. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat, the general quality of which was tolerably good. The attendance of millers was limited, yet on the whole the trade ruled firm, and Monday's Prices were fully supported. The show of foreign wheat was extensive. Good and fine samples sold steadily, other kinds slowly, on former terms. The inquiry for, floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth was trifling. There was very little doing in the barley trade, at late quotations. Malt changed hands slowly. In prices, however, we have no alteration to report. Considering the heavy importations from abroad, the oat trade ruled steady. Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEER Wheat. Marley Malt. Oats. Flour.
