MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY). ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro- _ duce Markets during the last few days have been 19 few, the high rates current for most of the princi- 1 , pal staples preventing in some measure increased s' consumption. Holders have shown no disposition to give way, and hence the trade generally have s bought, only for immediate wants. Tea has been in limited request, at about former quota tions, and in sugars only a few small transactions have been reported. Coffee has been firm, and good and fine qualities of plantation Ceylon have been in demand. Rice, rum, and cocoa have been inactive ? at about former values. sti The large arrivals of new fruit have in some mea- gt t , sure affected the market, and prices have shown a St downward tendency. Spices have been at steady quotations, as also saltpetre and indigo. The next S' quarterly sale of this article, it is announced, will s commence on the 13th proximo. Tallow has been s steady, with rather more activity for forward de- s livery, the quotations for the spring months show- S ing a slight improvement.

Colville, and the Rev. William Evan, s, Nathaniel French, toll collector at the Fume-hill . gate, in this parish, was summoned by the Right Hon. Lord Redesi late for an overcharge of toll. From his lordship's statera ent it would appear that, on the 21st of August last, his lordship was riding towards Shipaton, and on coming to the toll gate he tendered 6d. The collector said he had no change, on which his lordship remarked that he ought to keep change. In reply, the collector said that his lordship ought to' hive brought the right toll with him, but he could have the sd. on his return. His lordship, however, not returning that way, summoned the collector for detaining the change, or charging more than the usual toll, in order, as the nob le peer stated, to prevent if possible the practice of such nposition upon the public. After a long and attentive h earing, the case was dismissed. His lordship then asked t'lle defendant for the sd. due to him. The de fendant coolly replied that he had no change, but if his lordship would give him the penny he would return the sixpence ; and holding his head on one side, as if attentively listening, said, "Did your lordship wish me to drink your health with the alsange ?" No reply being given, the de fendant pocketed tie coin, and left the court evidently satis fied with the decision that a toll-collector was not com pelled to give change.--Birnaingleant Journal. BAKER'S PROMENADE TUNNEL.—There is PK hibiting, at M'Clenn's-buildings, Shoe-lane, a model of i plan for the sewage of the Thames, which presents several features well worthy consideration. Among these is the practical suggestion that an iron tunnel should flank the whole course of the river's margin, and that in this the transit of the sewage should be provided for, while the top ghould be devoted to the public as a promenade, or a con mous highway to lighten the now plethoric traffic of our principal thoroughfares. Mr. W. Baker, of the well-known firm of Henri and Co., of Hull, is the designer, and it would seem that he has not placed his notions minutim of before the public , % e f o re he was prepared with sufficient detail to satisfy the most fastidious engine e Iforni ng r of the practica bility and oimplicity of his scheme.—paper.

L_l TV INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) COCK V. NOSEWORTIIY. Plaintiff claimed £5 for repairing a lithographic press. Defendant paid £4 into court, and denied his liability quoad ultra. Defendant alleged that the repairs were not performed in due time nor according to agreement. Mr. Wallis, lithographic printer, said he examined the press repaired by the plaintiff, and he considered that £4 was a sufficient sum for making the repairs. The head of the press was too large, and it did not work well. His Honour gave a verdict for the defendant, with costs. CIIESIIIRB V. HICKS. Plaintiff, a journeyman farrier, claimed 4s. 10d., a day's wages, as a journeyman farrier in the defendant's employ ment. Defendant, who is a veterinary surgeon and farrier, in Upper Thames-street, denied his liability, and alleged that he paid the plaintiff 30s. weekly wages, and that he left his employment without notice of leave. Plaintiff alleged he was engaged, according to the custom of the trade, by day wages, or piece work, at the rate of 30s. per week, and that he was entitled to leave any day he pleased if there was no employment for him, or if he got better employment. A foreman in the defendant's employment said he made no particular engagement with the plaintiff, but engaged him in the usual way, that if he gets better employment he can leave at pleasure. Defendant was much excited, and said that if this case went against him he would have 40 men make similar claims. The witness said it was the custom of the trade to give a week's notice. His Honour non-suited the plaintiff, on the ground that is the custom of the trade to give a week's notice. SADLER V. WALMER. Plaintiff claimed £ll7s. 10d., balance of wages as a jour neyman cabinet-maker. Defendant denied his liability, and alleged that the plain tiff's wages were paid weekly, as per account of his day work and pass-book. His Honour examined these books, and the plaintiff and defendant, and after hearing parties, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. SHOP-LIFTING. A very respectably-dressed woman, about 50 years of age, who gave the name of Ann Smith, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a pair of men's drawers, a" church-service," and a piece of bacon. From the evidence of police-consfable 152 F, it appeared that he was on duty in the neighbourhood of Clare-market when called to take the prisoner into custody for stealing a pair of drawers from a haberdasher's shop in Blackmore street. The prisoner, who had a large-sized market basket in her hand, on being charged with the robbery, stoutly de nied it, and said she was a respectable married woman and she did not know what was meant by giving her into custody for stealing the drawers. On the constable moving her from the spot on which she stood he found a very handsome book Church Services"—bound in blue velvet, lying at her feet, and suspecting she had more stolen property upon her, he searched her basket, and there found a small rasher of bacon, and a piece weighing about a pound and a half. The book he had ascertained had been stolen from the shop of Mr. Kendrick, of Ludgate-hill. The owner of the drawers was not in attendance. Mr. Jardine (to prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge of having stolen property in your possession ? Prisoner—l did not know it was stolen. The drawers and book were found lying beside me. I never stole either of the articles• Mr. Jardine—How came the book lying at your feet P I am afraid you are given to this sort of thing. As the police do not know you, I shall only send you to prison for a short time ; but if you can't keep your hands from stealing other person's property, and you are brought here again, depend upon it you won't get off so lightly. I commit you to prison for six weeks with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FiattotTs DRIVING.—John Thick, a respectable-looking man, described as a wheelwright, of the One Tun public house, Brentford, was charged with furious driving in Ox.• ford-street, and endangering the lives of the passengers. • From the evidence of Gordon, 336 A, it appeared that about nine o'clock the previous evening the accused, who was in a state of intoxication, was galloping a horse in a chaise, up and down Oxford-street, at the rate of about nine miles an hour, going from one side of the way to the other. A gentleman having called his attention to the accused, he went up to him and stopped him and asked why he did so ? Saw he was drunk, and therefore took him into custody. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, on behalf of the accused, put several questions to the officer, with the view of showing that he could not have galloped, there being several omnibuses and cabs in the street at the time ; and (addressing the Magistrate) said his client was a respect able man, and it was much to be regretted that he had been locked up all night in the company of felons. Mr. Beadon said it so happened that all the prisoners he had been locked up with were, like himself, drunk people. He had by his conduct endangered the lives of the passen gers ; he should, therefore, fine him 10s. On the accused leaving the dock he said—" That officer's word ought never to be taken in a court of justice." Mr. Beadon—You should not get drunk, and the remark you have made is very discreditable to you. THAMES. TILE EAST INDIA COMPANX AT FAULT.—Mrs. Evans, of No. 19, Cross-street, St. George-in-the-East, the wife of a seaman, and daughter of Mr. John Douglas, deceased, one of the summoning officers of the court for many years, ap plied to Mr. Yardley for his advice under the following cir cumstances :—Her husband was one of the crew of the ship Nimrod, and assisted in saving the lives of many persons from the wreck of the transport ship Julia, in June, 1857. Her husband received from Mr. J. B. Frere, the commis sioner in Scinde, a certificate, of which the following is a copy :—" This certificate is presented to B. Evans, A. 8., for his gallant conduct on the 29th and 30th of June, 1857, in risking his life to save that of others, upon the occasion of the wreck of the Julia transport.—J. B. Frere, Commissioner in Scinde, Kurrachee, July 4th, 1857." The certificate was also endorsed by others in authority, and her husband was informed that he would be rewarded for his gallantry on presenting the certificate at the East India House; in fact, the document was given to him for that purpose. On applying at the East India House, her husband was informed that no advices had been received from Mr. Frere or any other person on the subject, and that the reward could not be paid until Mr. Frere was communicated with. Mr. Yardley said the East India Company was extinct, and the applicant must wait until the authorities wrote out to Scinde, and received an answer. _ Mrs. Evans—Others belonging to the Nimrod, my hus band's shipmates, got their money. Mr. Yardley—This gentleman, Mr. Frere, is a member of the Council at Bombay, and it will take 10 weeks before an answer can be returned. Next Saturday the mail goes Mrs. Evans was surprised that the East India Company had not acknowledged the docu . ment, more particularly after the claims of others had been admitted and paid. Mr. Yardley said the husband of the applicant had gone to the East India House at a very unfortunate time. There had been a change of government, and the new council not got into harness yet. The East India House is the proper place to apply, I presume. Mrs. Evans—Yes, sir. I cannot understand why my husband's claim is not acknowledged, while others have been paid. Mr. Yardley could not assist the applicant or suggest any other course than the one he had named—to write to Mr. Frere. Mrs. Evans said her husband was going to Port Adelaide ,o-morrow in his ship, and would be away 12 months. Mr. Yardley had no doubt the new Council for India would do what was right and just in the case, and that directly Mr. Frere's signature was recognised, the appli cant would receive the reward to which her husband was entitled for his gallant conduct. Mrs. Evans then received back her papers and left the court. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

The returns of these statistics for the present year, although containing some apparently unsatis factory details, are favourable upon the whole. Thus the total extent of land under crops continues, as in former years, to show an increase, the num• hers being 5,882,492 acres for the present year against 5,829,117 for 1857. The meadow and clover land exhibits an increase of itself above that of the entire land under crops, being 1,424,578 acres for 1858, against 1,369,892 for 1857. This gives a de crease for the total of acres devoted to esculent crops, a decrease which has fallen upon the cereals. The natural root of the country, now that the ex treme depression arising from the -disease has passed away, continues steadily to progress. The acreage under potatoes is this year 1,160,056 against 1,146,647 last year. This progress is, as we have said, a steady one, the number of acres devoted to potatoes being 981,301 in 1855, and 1,104,704 in 1856. The other items of increase in the present year over the preceding are mangel-wurzel, carrots, parsnips, and cabbage ; while pulse, turnips, and, we are sorry to say, flax, have diminished. The most curious consideration is the state of the cereals, of which the acreage has diminished in the present year for every artiele. The acreage of wheat has fallen from 559,646- in 1856 to 551,386 in 1858 ; that of oats from 1,980,934 to 1,976,929 barley from 211,288 to 190,721; and rye from 21,371 to 16,489. Wheat, however, still shows a considera ble increase both over 1855 and 1856, the acreage in those years being 445,775 and 529,050 respectively. The other cereals show an acreage under that of 1855, barley especially, which in that year was cul tivated on 226,629 acres. The decrease is most con spicuous in the province of Leinster, where there is ' a falling off in every kind of cereal and even in po tatoes. Munster and Ulster show an increase on wheat, Ulster on oats, and Connaught on barley. With these exceptions, the decrease is regular throughout every province. It is, however, satisfactory to perceive reason for believing that if quantity of acres under culti vation for the higher esculents has diminished, the quality , of that cultivation itself is improved. It is gratifying to find a considerable increase in the number of horses, a proof everywhere of more active cultivation, but more especially so in Ire land, where so large a portion of the land was once cultivated by persons who could not afford horse labour. The number of horses has risen from 599,782 in 1857 to 610,717 in 1858, and this progress has been regular since 1855, the numbers for which year were 556,287, while for 1856 they were 573,408. The increase is further to be found in every province, and, with slight exceptions, in every county, the diminution in these eight being so trifling as to be clearly accidental. There is not a more significant fact in the po sition of Irish agriculture than this, more especi ally as the principal increase falls upon horses de voted to agricultural purposes. These in Leinster have risen from 121,044 to 122,582 ; in Munster from 108,012 to 110,377; in Ulster from 147,095 to 148,392 ; and in Connaught from 75,015 to 77,497. As these animals are principally required in the cultivation of cereals, we can come to no other con clusion than that to which we have arrived when comparing the increase in the number of hores with the decrease in the cereal acreage. The number of cattle shows a considerable in crease, especially as regards mulch cows—another proof of thebetter mode of living prevalent amongst the people. Ulster, for whatever reason, does not share in the increase of cattle, which is largest in Connaught, where, in fact, there was most room for improvement. The number of sheep has increased from 1,004,724 in 1857 to 1,035,875 in 1858. That of pigs from 173,840 to 191,034. An increase is likewise found over 1855 in every species of animal except sheep—a proof of the regularity of the pro gress of the country in this particular. We are therefore able to point to this return with great satisfaction, seeing that the only falling off of importance which is to be found in the acre age of cereals, may be fully explained by the more improved and expensive modes of cultivation in troduced into the country. The impulse which has been given to the agricultural property of Ireland is manifestly producing fruits of which we may ex pect yet more striking evidence in future returns. The Registrar-General bears testimony to the cordial assistance which he has received from all classes in the preparation of these statistics. It is a pity that we have less confidence in the genero sity of English farmers, which has prevented simi lar returns being made out for our own country. However, they are more necessary for Ireland, and we see great reason for congratulation, both in the facts shown by the documents themselves, and in, the facilities and opportunities given for their accu rate preparation. COLONIAL, TEA.—The market has been quiet, but a limited amount of business has been done in common congou at 10d per lb net cash. SUGAR.—There has been a fair inquiry for the better qualities for home use, but other descriptions are inactive. Holders, however, show no disposition to reduce l?riceg. In the refined market a moderate business has been done at previous rates. COFFEE.—Plantation Ceylon fully maintains its value, and for the finer qualities there is a rather brisk inquiry; other descriptions met a ready sale at about former prices_ RlCE.—There is very little inquiry, and the market is exceedingly dull. Run.—The market is moderately active, but the trans actions reported have been at former quotations. FRUIT.—The inquiry for new fruit has been less actilre, and prices have slightly given way. Valencia raisins have shown a downwitad tendency, the present quotation hang; 37s to 38s per cwt. SALTPETRE.—There has been a moderate inquiry for theil better qualities, at about.previous rates. TALLOW.— The market hes been rather more active, a:raid prices have well maintained. P.Y.C., on the spot, :is quoted 49s Gd; last three months, 495; and sprig delivery, 49s Gd per cwt. RAILWAY CALLS.

Cartter, the coroner for the eastern division of the county of Surrey, resumed, at the Vestry— hall, Camberwell, the adjourned inquest on the body of a man found lying with his throat cut in a garden, in the New-road, in the parish of Camberwell. After hearing the evidence, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide, he being at the time in a state of tem- porary insanity. A BRAVE CLERGYMAN.—Duriug the day of the 18th inst. the Welsh coast was visited by a severe gale of wind. With the dawn of next morning the Rev. Owen Lloyd Williams, curate of Barmouth, saw from his bed room window a wreck on the Bar, with two men in her rigging. He immediately dressed himself and ran down to the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution. The boat was at once manned by Mr. Williams, who is an expert oarsman, and 10 other men. The sea at the time was very rough, and the wind blowing hard from W.N.W. The wreck was, however, soon reached by the noble lifeboat, and the ship's exhausted crew were brought ashore in half an hour afterwards. Mr. Williams's family has always been conspicuous for devotedness in the rescue of ship wrecked crews ; his father, the Rev. James Williams, and his late mother having been engaged in this philanthropic work on the Anglesey coast for nearly 30 years. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emigrant ship Admiral Lyons, 1,133 tons, Captain S. Dun can, sailed from Liverpool on Saturday the 25th inst., for Sydney, New South Wales, in charge of Surgeon Superin tendent Edward Kearney, with 447 emigrants. The Dui gration Commissioners have given notice of their intention to receve tenders next Thursday, the 30th inst. for a ship to proceed to Melbourne, Victoria, to be ready for the recep tion of passengers on such day as they may fix upon be tween the 17th and 24th of November. THE REV. C . H. STURGEON'S NEW TABERNACLE. There appears to be at last every probability that the taber nacle so long talked of and so much needed by this popular preacher will shortly be commenced. On Sunday last Mr. Spurgeon informed his immense congregation at the Surrey Music-hal that he had already signed Eleph an an agreement for a freehold site of ground opposite the t and Castle, Southwark, for the purpose of erecting a spacious edifice in which the thousands who listen to him every Sunday might be accommodated with .every convenience for worshipping God as Particular Baptists. The building committee were to meet the r epresentatives of the Fishmongers' Company yesterday, for the purpose of getting the matter completed. £5,000 is the sum to be paid for the land. The edifice will necessarily cost many thousands for its erection; and al though the sum left in hand, with the numerous liberal promises of donations, will yield a . •ood amount, still the congregation was urged to continue in its efforts to effect so desirable an object. Mr. Spurgeon was very earnest in his nppeol, and no doubt his friends will do their utmost to complete the undertaking. THE Two DISSENTERS.—When John Brown, D.D., first settled at Haddington, Scotland, the people of his parish gave him a warm and enthusiastic reception • only one of the members of that large and influential church and congregation stood out in opposition to him. • The rev. doctor tried all the means in his power to convert the solitary dissenter to the unity of feeling which pervaded the whole body, but all his efforts to obtain an interview proved abortive. As Providence directed, however, they happened to meet in the street, when the doctor held out his hand, saying, " My . brother, I understand you are opposed to my settling in Hadngton ? "VCs, sir," re plied the parishioner. ."Well, and if it be a fair question, on what grounds do you object to me?" "Because, sir, quoth he, " I don't think you are qualified to fill so eminent a post," " That is just my opinion," replied the doctor ; "but what, sir, is the use of .you and me settin g u p our opinions in o pposition to the whole pa) ish ?" The le o'hei a smiled, and their friendship was sealed for ever.—Che ;to-- field Courier. 1 18 0 2 i 0 0 15 2 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 0 2 0 0 THIRD EDITION. FUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

OFFICIAL DESPATCH. (From the London Gazette of this Evening.) ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 27. With reference to the despatches from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the East India station, dated the 21st May last, inserted in the Supplement to the London Gazette of the 27th July, 1858, the following de spatch has been also received from Sir Michael Seymour, by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Coromandel, at Tientsin, June 1, 1858. Sir,—Owing to the short time I had to prepare my de spatches, after the capture of the forts at the mouth of the Pei-Ho I omitted to inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that the Cormorant, the leading ship at the attack, had to force and break a heavy boom of bamboo cables drawn across the channel, upon which the fire of the enemy was concentrated ; a descrip tion of the boom is inclosed. I should also have men tioned the essential services rendered by Captain Rode rick Dew, in her Majesty's steam gun vessel Nimrod, the fire from her formidable broadside having mainly contri buted to destroy a sand bag battery of 19 guns, upsetting nearly every gun in the work. I enclose a statement of the troops in the batteries, trans lated by the Rev. Mr. Martin, from muster rolls picked up in the forts, amounting to 3,200. This is independent of the large encampments of troops which were in rear of the position.—l have, &c., (Signed) M. SEYMOUR, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. Secretary of the Admiralty, London. H.M.S. Cormorant, River Pio-Ho, May 21. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in obedience to orders received from you to examine into the size and description of the cables stretched across the rivers which the ship under your command had to force her way through, under a heavy fire from the batteries on both sides of the river, the first set of cables were seven in num ber, made of 9-inch bamboo rope, and buoyed the whole way across the river with spars of about 19-inch, and moored with Chinese anchors. The second set of cables, about 200 yards north of the first set, were of the same size and description as the first. —I have, &c., (Signed) W. H. FAWCKNER, Master Commanding Hesper.
