Hereford 111 1 A quieter tone pervades the discount market, the Supply of bills having slightly fallen off, which may be accounted for by the large amount of paper lately brought forward in expectation of an ad vance in the rates. Capitalists still enforce full terms for accommodation, notwithstanding the decrease in the inquiry, because it is impossible to calculate upon the future course of the market while the hs.rvest prospects are so uncertain. There is still 4 good supply of money, however, and, at the Bank a)inininin, first class bills are easily negotiable.

The arrivals this morning include the Yorkshire, from Melbourne, with £169,152 ; and the Asia, from New York, with £74,206. There has been a moderate business in Public Securities to-day, and rather more firmness has been apparent, owing to purchases based upon the improved appearance of the weather.

The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been to a fair extent, and prices have tended upwards. Great Northern, North Western, North British, and North Eastern (Berwick), have im proved ss. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, and South Eastern, 10s.; and Bristol and Exeter, £1; Eastern Counties declined 10s., and Great Western and North Eastern (York) ss. In the Foreign lines no business was recorded, and little alteration took place in the Colonial Market. East Indian improved to 991-, t, and Scinde to 981.

In the various country markets held on Saturday wheat was in active request, and prices advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Barley and all other spring corn were quite ls. per quarter dearer, and flour improved in value from 2s. to 3s. per sack. _ Throughout the Continent the wheat trade has become excited. Large quantities of produce have changed hands at higher rates. In the United States, the quotations gene rally have had an upward tendency, and the export trade still continued active. Only limited supplies of home-grown produce arrived here last week. The imports were liberal, viz. :-44,685 quarters of wheat, 7,281 barley, 54,037 oats, 3,145 beans, 526 peas, 8,160 linseed, 9,205 rapeseed, 3,768 maize, 175 seeds, 3,592 sacks and 19,949 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received up to our mar ket to-day was very limited, and mostly in poor condition. For both red and white qualities, there was a good demand at an advance in the quotations of from 3s to 4s per quarter, compared with Monday last. In some instances, fine sam ples produced 5s per quarter above that day's currency, and at which a good dematd was effected. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, in which rather a large business was transacted, chiefly for inland consumption, at 3s to 4s per quarter above the rates cur rent on this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain wore in request, and 2s per quarter dearer. There was more inquiry for barley, and the rates advanced Is per qr. Fine malt sold steadily—other kinds slowly— at late rates. Although the arrivals from abroad continue large, the oat trade was firm, at a rise of from 6d. to ls. per quarter. Both beans and peas were held at is. per quarter more money, but the demand for them was by no means active. Flour was very firm. Country marks were 2s and town made qualities 6s per sack dearer than on Monday last. The top price of the latter was 60s.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were moderately extensive as to number, but deficient in quality. All breeds met a dull sale, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. The top figure for the best Scots was 5s 2d per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,500 short horns, crosses, &c. ; from ether parts of England, 600 various breeds; and from Ireland, 476 oxen, &c. The show of sheep was rather extensive. Prime Downs and half-breds were in fair request, at full prices ; other . wise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations had a drooping tendency. Lambs were in good supply and heavy request, at 2d per 81bs less money. About 350 head reached us from Ireland. There was a good sale for calves, the supply of which was very moderate, at 2d to 4d per Blbs more money. The pork trade was steady, at extreme rates.

New &glands—, Humphrey, the coroner for East Middlesex, at the Railway Hotel, Globe-road. Very little interest was manifested in the proceeding, a very few persons only being present. The Coroner informed the jury that he had considered it his duty to ask the Secretary of State for the Home De partment to offer a reward for the apprehension of the mur derer, and that request had been complied with, as the jury would have seen by the placards that had been posted in the neighbourhood. On the last occasion (last Monday) the police gave evi dence as to the finding of the body. Mr. Faith, the sou in -law, deposed to her general habits, and Mr. W. T. Ems, a tenant of the deceased, spoke to some conversation he had with her relative to some taps for his house, but nothing conclusive was established in reference to the manner in which the murder was committed, or tending to fix blame on any particular person. This morning the evidence was continued. Elizabeth George, 8, Cadworth-street, a charwoman, &I'M she was in the habit of going to visit at the deceased woman's house on Saturdays. She had no other servant, and witness was the only person who assisted her in the house. Deceased slept in the front room on the first pair. Deceased always made her own bed. She generally threw the clothes over it in the morning, and then did nothing more until she went to bed again at night. Witness was there on the Saturday before the deceased died. She had never known deceased sleep in any other room than the front pair. It was not the habit of deceased to receive any one after dusk, and when any one knocked after dusk sho invariably looked out before giving admission to any one. She had some paper hangings she wanted to sell, but wit ness never knew her to sell anything else. By a J.uror—The deceased had the paper in only the week before. By the Coroner—She did not know how deceased made it known that she wanted to sell the paper. On the last Saturday witness was in the house a man came there and stayed till about seven o'clock. Ho inspected the various rooms in which the paper was kept. The man did not take any paper away with him, and witness's understanding was that he was to come again. Mrs. Emsley appeared to know him. All the conversation between the man and Mrs. Emsley took place upstairs. Witness let him in and Mrs. Emsley came up to him directly from the kitchen and ad dressed him familiarly. Witness had not seen the person before or since. A workman, named Mullins, was in the yard at the same time, and saw the man. By a Juror—She did not think she should know the man again if she saw him. Very few persons came to see Mrs. Emsley; one or two would occasionally come on Saturdays to pay money. . Elisabeth Ashley, of 16, Grove-road, exactly opposite to the house of the deceased—On.Monday evening, the 13th, about seven o'clock, she saw Mrs. Emsley standing at her window. At about 12 o'clock the same night she noticed that the shutters were not closed. Witness thought it strange, and mentioned the circumstance to her mother. On the next morning she again noticed that the shutters were not closed, nor the blinds moved. On the Wednesday following she saw a man striving to gain admission. Ho knocked, but soon went away again. A great many people came to her, but they were all of the labouring class. De ceased was sitting at the first-floor window when witness saw her. She usually occupied that room. Bridget Macdonald, a servant, residing at No. 8, Grove road (the next house to the deceased), was called to prove that she heard her master's dog bark, but she could not tell when, and was in other respects so obtuse that the coroner requested her to stand down. Martha Sophia Chapman, of No. 11, Windsor-terrace, Canal-road, said she knew the deceased woman well. She saw her between six and eight o'clock on the evening of the 13th. She was then alone, and witness had not seen her since. She was then going towards her own home. Elizabeth Muggeridge, of No. 17, Grove-road, opposite the deceased's house said, that at about seven o'clock in the evening onMonday, the 13th, she saw the deceased sitting at her window. She saw on the following morning that the premises were not closed. The practice of deceased was always to have the shutters closed, On Wednesday she saw a man and woman try to gain admission to the house. It was the habit of the deceased at all times to open the win dow when any one knocked, in order to see who it was. John Cook, of Park .road, Peckham, a builder, said he re ceived a note from the deceased on the 10th, asking him to look at some paper she had to sell. He sent a reply saying he would call about eleven o'clock on the 14th. He had known the deceased two years. He went to the deceased's house and knocked several times. He waited about the neighbourhood some time, knocked again, and then went home. Edwin Ems, a son of the witness Ems who was examined on a previous occasion, said he went to the house of the deceased several times by his father's request, but could not obtain admission. The Coroner at this stage of the proceedings said there was other evidence, but it was not in a state at present to be brought before the jury, and he should therefore ad journ the inquiry until 10 o'clock on Friday next. THE FORTIFICATION OF LONDON. The following letter has boon addressed to the Times :- Sir,—As the nation is now greatly occupied with the momentous question of the fortification of Lon don, I think it may perhaps be interesting to most people to see the opinions of two master minds as to this subject. I beg therefore to intrude the fol lowing short quotations upon your valuable space : " If the fortification of the capital can add to the security of the country, I think it ought to be done. If by the erection of works such as I am recom mending you can delay the progress of the enemy for three days, it may make the difference between the safety and the destruction of the capital. It will not, I admit, make a difference between the conquest and independence of the country ; for that will not depend upon one or upon ten battles, but it makes the difference between the loss of thou sands of lives, with misery, havoc, and desolation spread over the country, on the one hand, or the confounding the efforts and chastising the insolence of the enemy on the other."—Pitt, Parl. Hist., xxxvi., 1,659 1,662. " A great capital is the country of the flower of the nation, the centre of opinion, the general depot ; and it is the greatest of all contradictions to leave a point of such importance without the means of immediate defence. At the season of great national disasters empires frequently stand in need of sol diers, but men are never wanting for internal de fence if a place be provided where their energies can be called into action. 50,000 national guards with 3,000 gunners will defend a fortified capital against an army of 300,000 men. The same 50,000 in the open field will be thrown into confusion by the charge of a few thousand horse."—Napoleon, in 31ontholin, ii., 270 280. I remain, sir, yours obliged, Gateshead -on-Tyne, Aug. 23. S. H. E. We (United Service Gazette) understand that the distinction of Commander of the Legion of Honour has been conferred upon Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.O ,8., by his Majesty the Emperor of the French, in connection with his services in China. PORTSMOUTH, Sunday.—The weather here con tinued boisterous all Friday night and Saturday, with con tinual rain, but the wind was less violent than on the pre ceding day. Yesterday broke finer, and continued so throughout, with a moderate breeze eutside at S.W. Tho different vessels at anchor in St. Helen's Roads and at the Motherbank got under way, and proceeded on their voyage dm, Channel, It is impossible solely to rely on the result of several of the races last week at York, owing to the heaviness of the ground, and I have no doubt that when the "cracks" again meet the verdict of the judge will be reversed. The SUCC26I of High Treason for the Zetland Handicap greatly improved his position forithe St. Leger, and he will perform 'more creditably there than he did in the Derby. He has been doing strong work lately, and his grown into a fine slashing colt. The Black Duck Stakes was an easy vic tory for Lord Glasgow's colt by Stockwell. He is a fine goer, and will be heard of to advantage on a future occasion. Mr. Merry carried off the Convivial Stakes with the aid of Folkestone, beating the favourites Rouge Dragon (who cut up badly), and Vergiss-mein-Nicht. In the Produce Stakes Sabreur gained himself a host of friends by the style in which he cut down Donner and Blitz, and when the same colours proved victorious in the Biennial, thanks to Vanquisher, the Yorkshiremen began to think seriously of Sabreur for the St. Leger, as the Aske stable made no secret of his being by far the superior animal of the two. Starlight gave further proof of his indifferent form by suc cumbing to the little Gardener, who won the Juvenile Stakes in a canter by two lengths, the pair only of the seven nominated coming to the post. The Chesterfield Handicap brought out only a limited field, and both the favourite; Amsterdam and Tyrant, suffered an easy defeat from Forager, to whom Brewn Holland ran a good second. On Thursday the weather made some amends for its pre vious inclemency, the sun shining throughout the day with a brilliancy and warmth we have of late been unaccustomed to, but the course, though less sloppy, was more holding than on the previous afternoon. The first race, the Eglin ton Stakes, for two and three year old; one mile, brought to issue, only attracted five to the post, and as Sweetsauce and Stampedo were both absentees, Maggiore and Sutton were alone left to represent the three year old; their oppo nents being Dundee, Parasite, and Sister to Roosia. The former had a long way the call in the betting, but those who laid odds had a narrow squeak for their money, as Maggiore got up in the last stride and made a dead heat of it. The race was supposed by many to have been a "fluke," and odds were again laid on the Derby favourite for the deciding heat, who, with Edwards up instead of Bray, pulled through the second time of asking with the greatest ease; but I believe if Sweetsauce had put in an appearance he would have taken the shine out of Dundee, as at Good wood he gave Maggiore 111 b and nearly as much more of a beating, which must make him an awkward customer to Thormanby for the Leger. Bivouac placed the Ebor St. Leger to Lord Zetland's account. The Great Ebor Handi cap brought a field of 13, and the heavy ground favoured the winner, Pax, who was only allowed to start at the last moment. I expressed my partiality for him the moment the weights appeared, but owing to his suspicious fore legs I was compelled to withdraw my vote from him, and only got second and third with Hepatica and First Lord. In the Fifth North of England Biennial, Kettledrum obtained a clever victory over Dictator, which brought him into notice for next year's Darby. The Lottery Plate went to Spigot Lodge, by the aid of Amy Scott ; and Cape Flyaway, not withstanding a . 71b penalty and his previous gallop, won the Hopeful, beating the unlucky Feodorowna and Grena dier very easily. The Londosborough Cup, contested by 17 of the 19 handicapped, ended in a match between Cyn ricus and Silverhair, an exceedingly neat two year filly by Kingston, who ran the longest, and the favourite shut ting up on the post, the filly won by a neck. The Filly Sapling fell to Sir Charles Monck, with Prudence, who met two such indifferent antagonists in Sweet Hawthorn and Isis, that she won as she liked by three lengths, and this event completed the afternoon's sport. Friday was a "great day" for Yorkshire, and those noblemen and gen tlemen resident within the county Palatine who give their support to the Turf. Lord Zetland, Lord Glasgow, and Sir C. Monck carried nearly everything before them, and the style in which the former, with the scions of his noble Voltigeur, effected each successive triumph, quite astounded those who ever since the Derby fondly imagined that the St. I. eger was destined to end in a match between the old opponents The Wizard and Thormanby, and "potted" the pair accordingly. The Stockton meeting, which commences to morrow, opens with the Trial Stakes, for which there are six nomi nations, and I expect to see East Stanley and Amsterdam run first and second. For the Cleveland Stakes there are 57 nominations, but Dictator and Gardener shall represent me. The Stockton Tradesmen's Plate has seventeen accept ances, and after the running of Bivouac and Hepatica last week it would be useless to look further for the winner, and I shall expect them to pass the judge's chair in the order named. The Three Year- old Zetland Biennial, one mile and a half, has 62 nominations, those of note being Thormanby, Umpire, Butterfly, Ben Webster, Cramond, High Treason, Wildman, Vanquisher, Sir William, and Syringe. Of these Umpire has been struck out, and, as there is not much probability of Thormanby running, the contest will lie between Vanquisher and High Treason. In the Zetland Biennial there appear the names of Dun• dee, Folkestone, Dictator, and Kettledrum, but I shall rely on Mr. Merry's representatives, either Dundee or Folke stone. The Great Northern Leger will be carried off by The Wizard or Sweetsauce. If Sabreur be pulled out for the Stewards' Plate he will be successful, but with the Leger before him he may be an absentee, and ix that case I will give the preference to Doe foot and Wildman. The Exeter meeting has been revived under the auspices of the principal resident noblemen and gentlemen of Devon shire, and from the excellence of the programme issued, bids fair to attain the success deserved by its patrons. The Devonshire Stakes, run for on the first day (Wed nesday next), has an acceptance of thirteen ; and as Tame Deer is penalised 7lbs for his success at Plymouth, Eskdale or• Gridiron may pull through. Miss Eleanor, in the absence of Convivialist, ought to credit the Rougemont Stakes to her owner's account. Twelve have accepted out of the twenty-two nominations for the Nursery Handicap, and if it suits Mr. Brayle's book perhaps he may grant me a Reprieve. The County Cup has 23 subscribers, and from amongst the lot I prefer Mouravieff and Eskdale. The racing of last week has introduced another favourite for the St. Leger, but I still hold to the opinion that it will go to Whitewall, and the public are still in the dark of what will be the representative of "The Wizard's" stable on the day, but from certain suspicious movements in the market, I incline to think there will be no "Wizard" at the starting post when the bell rings:for saddling, and if I may be allowed to venture an opinion thus early, I ex pect to see Sweetsauce or Sabreur the winner, followed by Thormanby and High Treason. Aug. 27. A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. The principal feature of the day was settling on the now past events at York, which was so far very satisfactory. Very few of the bookmakers missed laying against the winner for the Ebor Handicap, as he was one of the first horses backed for the race, and his subsequent reported lameness induced many to make an odd sovereign or two out of him, but from all we can learn there is no harm done. For the St. Leger Thormanby retains the position of favourite, 5 to 2 being taken, and Sabreur was backed at 11 to 2, while the Wizard, notwithstanding his late defeat, is far from being friendless. The highest odds we saw laid against him was 7 to 1, no doubt from the amount of money previously put on him, and from his previous performances it would not be a mark of great wisdom to hold him too lightly. His stable companion was supported at 10 to 1; and 25 to 1 was taken against High Treason ; but on the whole there was not a great amount of business done. Closing prices : ST.

CORONER'S INQUEST THIS DAY. During the whole of last week the police, to whom the duty of tracing out the supposed murderer of Mrs. Mary Emsley had been entrusted, have been unremitting in their exertions to bring the culprit to justice, but up to the pre sent time no clue has been obtained, and there does not ap pear to be much hope that the mystery will ever be solved. Rumours are of course flying about in all directions, but they never stand the test of inquiry, and at present it is believed that the police are without even a suspicion. The inquest was resumed this morning by Mr. John 2.11.10 i 16 I SPORTING NOTES.

JAMES'S HALL, PICCADILLY.—The continued unfavourable state of the weather does not deter large audiences from visiting the highly interesting and instructive entertainment at the above place of amusement. Great interest is now attached to the exhibition, as the numerous towns in Canada, so hap pily and truthfully represented, have been recently visited by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Washington Friend no sooner commences his lecture than he becomes familiar with his audience, secures their attentive ear, and by his excellent singing of songs appropriate to the various pictures elicits considerable applause. One of them on Saturday evening, " liatty's Darling," accompanied by himself en the harp, obtained a unanimous encore, and was acknowledged by the substitution of that beautiful melody, " The harp that once thro' Tara's halls," which much de lighted the audience. POLICE INTELLIGENVE—(TIirs DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A KIS& AND SOMETHING MOR.E.—Jane . Watson, a low-looking woman, well known to the police t t was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a scarf-piS the property of Mr. Solomon Livien, a tailor, 15, Brewer street, Golden-square. The prosecutor, a foreigner, said he was returning from the theatre down Oxford-street, on Saturday night, whe4 the prisoner came up to him and said something which he did not understand, and then suddenly kissed him. He felt much surprised at her conduct and left her, but no sooner had he done so than he missed his breast-pin. She also before kissing him squeezed his hand tightly, and, he supposed, as he had one ring her object was to get that off: A friend of the complainant's, also a foreigner, confirmed the above, and Sergeant Cole, 23 C, having stated that the prisoner was a companion of thieves and very well known, Mr. Beadon remanded her for a week. AN EXPENSIVE LARK.—Edward Kavanagh, 3, Marl- . borough-court, Carnaby-street, a tailor, was charged with. assaulting Mary Lynch, 28, Marlborough-street. The complainant was passing quietly along the street when the defendant, with five companions, began pelting her with pears, one of them 'striking her in the eye and severally blackening it. Mr. Beadon, having animadverted on the defendant's conduct, fined him 40s. or a month. THAMES. SINGULAR CASE OF ATTEMPTED SIJICIDE.—WiIIiam Game, aged 40, and described as a hammerman, of No. 34, Park-street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. s e if e , charged with attempting to commit self-destruction in St. James's Churchyard, Ratcliff. Jane Vincent, sextoness and vestrywoman, said the pri soner attended Divine service in St. James's Church, yes terday evening, and attended to his devotions, and joined in singing the Psalms and Hymns.' After the service she ob served something remarkable in the appearance of the pri soner and watched him, and instead of departing with the rest of the congregation into the street, he went up to the north side of the church, close to a wall, pulled off his neckerchief, and took a clasp-knife from his pocket, which he applied to his throat, and was about to draw the knife across it when she seised his hand, and in the struggle to get the knife from him he cut his fingers severely. She then gavt..s him into the custody of a police constable. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe the witness said that the prisoner sharpened his knife before he attempted. to cut his threat. The prisoner was neither drunk or sober. Charles Pearce, No. 382 K, said that when the prisoner was given into his custody his fingers were bleeding. The prisoner said he was determined to do it, that he had lost two of his children, and that the Lord had pointed out the way to leave this life. The prisoner was excited by drink. The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry for what he had done. He had been working on a railway and re • ceived a blow on the head and was very seriously injured. He had lost one boy very lately, and that distressed him very much. The prisoner's wife said she had met with reverses. She had been four years married, and her husband was a stoker and hammerroan, and would return to his work at Mare's factory, in Blackwall, if he was allowed to depart. She lost a boy about four months ago. • Mr. Selfe said these cases ought not to be passed over lightly, and thought the best thing he could do was to re • mand the prisoner for a week, but at length consented to the prisoner's discharge on entering into his own recog nisances to keep the peace for two years. • THIS DAPS SHIPPING.
