-I MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have been moderately active during the last few days. Holders of most of the principal staples, however, have demanded high rates,:and this has in some measure checked business. Tea has been steady, and the advices by the overland mail have had but little influence upon prices. For sugar there has been a moderate inquiry. The better qualities suitable for home consump tion have realised slightly higher values. Good qualities of Plantation Ceylon coffee have been in rather active request, and full rates have been current, Rice and rum have been dealt in to a very limited extent at about former quotations. The late arrivals of new fruit have met a ready sale, and the quality being good, full rates have been realised. Saltpetre has been in moderate demand with little alteration in prices ; and talfow has been firm, the large arrivals from St. Petersburg having slightly affected values. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday a moderato business was transacted, 10,000 bales hav ing been disposed of at firm quotations. The Rail way Share Market opened with great firmness, but at the close was scarcely so buoyant. The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester day was £BO,OOO. Silver is rather firmer, but busi ness is very dull. There is still a very limited demand for discount accommodation, and the terms rather tend down wards. Unless a sudden movement in the adverse direction takes place, the Bank authorities may be induced to grant increased accommodation, either in advances at a lower rate, or by a reduction of the minimum. The Bank return this evening is expected to show some very important changes, especiallk as regards the bullion, which must now approach £19,000,000. As the applica tions fox discount have also been very moderate, and few loans on stock are presumed to have been negotiated, the " other securities" will probably exhibit a further diminution. There has been a moderate amount of business n the market for Public Securities to-day, but speculation continues very dull, and few purchases for investment are reported. Some unfavourable rumours were circulated this morning, which enabled the jobbers to cause a little temporary weakness, but the improving tendency has again manifested itself, and with such a continuous flow of money into the Bank, prices will no doubt be forced still higher. Consols have been_ 971 1 for money, and 971 7, for transfer. They are now 971 °1 and 971 respectively. India Loan Debentures are 981 &, being steady, ditto Scrap, second issue, 981 1, and ditto Bonds, 16s. The March Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at 375. prem., ditto Bonds at 1001, which is a slight decline. The Turkish Scrip continues dull and heavy. It is now quoted par to 1 prem., but there is very little business in progress,. The present depression is attributed to a small supply of stock, some of the -weak holders being no doubt anxious to retire beforo the next call becomes due. Foreign SecUrities are rather active, and prices are steady.' Turkish 6 per Cents. are 96 1 ; Portu guese 3 per Cents., 46?- 4 1 ; Russian 41 per Cents., 1001 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 46 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; . Brazilian 5 per Cents. 104 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 96„ ; ditto (1858), 961 ; Buenos Ayres De ferred, 171 IVeican 3 per Cents., 21a; and Peru vian 41 per Cents., 911. The position,of the market for American securi ties is thus noticed by Messrs. D. Bell,. Son, and Co. There has been during the past week more activity hi the market for' American State Stocks ; and whilst the inquiry has been general, the chief business. haS been in Pennsylvania State Five per Cent. Bonds: Sales of the New Five per Cent. Government Loan have been made at 95 per cent., div. from- Ist January next, and the present price is 941 to 95. In rail Way securities there has been but a very. limited business, and that chiefly con fined to the bonds and shares of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad." Redeemable. Prices.

TO-MORROW'S EARLY-CLOSING FETE.—Among the special attractions provided by the Early Closing Asso ciation for to-morrow's fete at the Crystal Palace, promi nently stands .the popular name of Clara Novello, whose clear; powerful, bell-hke voice is so peculiarlY adapted for, and always produces so charmingly thrilling an effect in, the vast area of the great transept. In addition to the concert, in which other popular singers will take part, there will be special amusements of an out-door character, including archery, cricket, and a great wrestling match by warehousemen and others, for prizes. With such a striking bill of fare, and the charge of admission being one shilling only, it may be expected that a considerable number of persons will avail themselves of the opportunity, the more specially as it will be Madame Novello's last appearance in London this season, and the Ato Wing iii. ;Aid of the tugs of DIOAt twaleat Qiutrity, 1864 1833 1862 1875 SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY).

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) The 29th half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company was held this afternoon at the Euston-station of the London and North- Western Company, Euston-square. The chair was occu pied by Mr. Jackson, M.P. for Birkenhead. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN then rose to move the adoption of ihe report. In doing so the hon. gentleman referred to the principal points alluded to in the document, and expressed his gratification at the position of the undertaking. The adjustment of all claims chargeable to capital, enabled the directors to render the statement of expenditure on that account, in a more complete shape this half-year than heretofore. As a necessary consequence, however, a large sum appeared added to the expenditure for the past half year, which in fact was comprised almost entirely of accounts hitherto in dispute, and therefore not included in the printed statements, and of amounts which, being unpaid, could net form form part-of a return of sums actually ex pended. Of the amount under the head of Parliamentary charges, the sum of £1,472 18s. sd. had been expended, during the past half-year, on the Bill promoted in Parlia ment, and approved by the proprietors at a special meeting on 25th of June last ; the remainder was the balance of an account still unpaid, and which formed a portion of the liabilities of the company, The directors had the pleasure of reporting that the act, obtained during the last session of Parliament, to autho rise arrangements between the company and the London and North-Western Company had received the Royal assent; and they trust that, under the powers thus ob tained, such arrangements would be shortly concluded, and submitted to the proprietors for approval, as would enable the associated companies to enter upon the contract with Government for improved postal and passenger communication, between England and Ireland. A statement of assets and liabilities exhibited an esti mated balance of £15,282 11s. in favour of the company, after liquidation of all claims, including replacement of the • revenue receipts applied to the payment of capital charges, and, in looking over a comparative statement of traffic re ceipts, a decrease of £4,573 10s. in the earnings of the railway for the past-year, as compared with the corresponding period of the year previous would be found. The falling off, it would be observed, was principally under the head of " goods," and was attributable almost entirely to a decrease in the mineral traffic during the past half year, consequent on the general- stagnation of trade ; the receipts from merchandise traffic had not been affected, unless in respect of the increase which, under other circumstances, might have been expected. A balance of £56,148 18s. ld. is shown to the credit of Revenue Account, which after providing for Debenture interest, and other first charges, leaves the sum of £22,351 17s. sd. available for division. The directors, therefore recommend the declaration of e. dividend, as for six months, at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, on the First Pre ference Stock of the company ; and as for three months, to 31st December, 1857, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, on the Second Preference Stock, leaving a balance of £1,663 Bs. 7d. to be carried forward to the current half-year. The engineer's report stated that the permanent way and way and works were in a very efficient condition, two of the timber bridges having been replaced with stone structures, and all the others thoroughly repaired. The superintendent of the company's steamboats reported that the whole of the vessels were in excellent work ing order, and that there had been no casualties in connection with them during the past half-year. The motion having been seconded, the report was, after a short discussion, adopted, and resolutions were also passed authorising the payment of the dividend therein mentioned. OF AN APPLICATION. CASE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were agreed to, authorising the creation of debenture shares bearing a preferential dividend, at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, to be substituted for the existing mortgage debt of the company, an arrangement which the directors trusted would secure a permanent reduction in the rate of interest. The proceedings terminated with the usual complimentary voto of thanks to the chairman. LAW INTEL LIGENCE--( This Day.) ATKINSON T. GONVA.N.-A CHEAP REMEDT.-EXPENSES In this case, an action for trover, defendant had returned the goods, but Mr. Clark, of Bedford-row, for plaintiff, applied for his fee, or rather made the following observa tions :—Sir, I have to call your Honour's attention to a fact of very considerable importance to the suitors of this court. Defendant has returned my client's goods ; but now there is a question of my fee, and I find that before I can apply to your Honourg must pay £2 ss. hearing fees for the purpose of receiving my fee of 30s. Now, I think this is particularly hard, as this also is a court of equity, and at no other court is a suitor called upon to pay fees of hearing upon merely making an application. Defendant is not here, and there is no hearing, but merely an application. His Honour said such was the rule of the court. The rules were made by the Recoeder, Common Sergeant, and the late judge of this:court, and though they were sadly in want of new ones yet these must do for the present. The mat ter then dropped. Mr. Clarke expressed his determina tion of norpaying the fee, as he did not feel justified in put ting the defendant to any expense he was bound to consider almost infamous. SMALL V. STOKING..-ILLEGAL DISTRAINT.-IMPORTANT This was an action to recover damages for an illegal distraint by plaintiff upon defendant's goods. Mr. Barnard, counsel, instructed by Mr. Ashley, appeared for the plain • tiff. From the statement of the learned counsel and the evidence of plaintiff, a widow with three children, it appeared that plaintiff had occupied apartments in defendant's house at 7s. 6d. per week, and that she had given notice upon which she might at any time remove without giving a formal week's notice. Accordingly upon a certain Friday she called a van to the door, and commenced loading her goods thereon. Defendant came up at the time, and plaintiff said to him, " Well, I am very glad you've come, you've saved me the trouble of coming down to you," at the same time paying defendant 10s. rent, due up to the previous Monday. Plaintiff did not tell defendant where she was going to (some place in Haclmey), but about a week or so afterwards defendant put in a distress for one week's rent, due the Monday after the Friday she had removed. Now, it is against all law to levy a distraint upon goods which were removed before this rent accrued, and defendant's proper course would have been a summons in one of the County Courts. This he did not do, but a man was put in possession, who remained six days, and plaintiff had to pay 7s. 6d. rent, 3s. levy, and 15s. man in possession, in all £1 ss. 6d. ; and defendant had met this case by paying £1 3s. 6d. into court. After some observations from the other side, his Honour said it was simply a question of damages, and no doubt an illegal distress had been levied. The jury, after a short consultation, found for plaintiff, damages, £lO (including the £1 3s 6d. paid into court.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) WILFUL DAMAGE.—William Marsh, assistant to Mrs. M. Johnson, of 30, Burlingtona-reado, .was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass value £3. The prosecutrix said the accused for some time past had given way to habits of intoxication, and when in that state was exceedingly: violent. On the previous day, having demanded a few shillings of her daughter, and being refused by her, he rushed up into the shop in a very excited manner, and smashed the pane of glass in question. She was frightened he would do further mischief if not restrained, as he was so very violent. She did not wish to hurt him, and she did not think he could pay the damage. All she wanted was protection. Mr. Bingham said that she should have that, but she must let him do it in his own way, and that was by ordering him to pay £3, the amount of the damage, or be committed to prison for one month. THAMES. A FEARFUL CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. — Dennis Sweeney, a rough-looking Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with maliciously cutting and wounding Esther Cragin, with intent to murder or do grievous bodily harm. VlThe woman, who is in a precarious state, could not attend the court. Bridget Shannon, a young woman, of No. 2, Providence. place, Back Church-lane, St. George's East, said there was a disturbance in the house last night, and the prisoner's daughter-in-law and the woman Cragin began fighting. There was a good deal of bad language used towards same soldiers' wives, and the words soldiers' trolls were used. Mrs. Cragen said, "Who is a soldier's troll, take it out of me," and began fighting with prisoner's wife. Witness interfered, and said, "for God's sake leave off," on which the prisoner used language of a most abominable description, and said, "take that, you -," and struck her on the head with a knife he had in his hand, and:ex.claimed, " I have done for you." The woman fell bleeding profusely. Mr. John Comley said he was a surgeon, and was called upon to attend the wounded person last night. He found her bleeding from a wound on the right eye. It was a very extensive and dangerous wound, two inches and a half in length, and extended from the temple down the side of the eye, and under the eye. It was done with a sharp instru ment. There was also a tremendous contusion on the cheek and a black eye. The woman was not in a fit state to appear, and would not be able to leave her room until Tuesday or Wednesday. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said, " I can't help it," and then proceeded to deny having wounded Mrs. Cragin. He only looked at the women that were fighting. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A fair average supply of English wheat-3,050 quarters —has come to hand, this week, coastwise; but the arrivals by land carriage fresh up, to-day, were very limited. Although the show of samples was moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and the value of in ferior qualities was barely supported. Fine old wheats were held at full prices. We were again well supplied with foreign, although the week's imports are only 4,350 qrs. There was not the slightest improvement in the trade, and the quotations were-almost noniinal. Floating cargoes were a slow inquiry. Scarcely any English barley was on show, but the supply of foreign was good. All kinds were in fair request at full quotations. Malt changed hands slowly, yet prices were well sup. ported. We had a steady inquiry for oats, beans, and peas, at full quotations. The supply of the former article was on the increase. Flour moved off slowly at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THE WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour English 3,050 1,030 2,710 440 I 3,070 Irish Foreign 4,350 6,940 16,670 110 sksi. 1,010 bls.

THE GREAT EASTERN —Mr. Daniel Baker, chair man, Captain Harrison, and Mr. Yates, secretary of tire Great Eastern Steamship Company, visited Bristol yester day to inspect the site of the proposed docks at the mouth of the Avon, with a view to ascertain their capability of adaptation to the purposes of the Great Eastern. They were received by the Chamber of Commerce, a deputation from which body, consisting of Mr. W. Terrell, chairman, Mr. Leonard Bruton secretary, Mr. M. Whitwell, Mr. J. M. Hyde, Mr. J. Bush, and other gentlemen, accompanied Mr. baker and the other representatives of the Great Eastern Company on board the Fairy Queen steamer to Kingroad. The plans for the proposed decks were sub mitted by Mr. Thornton, civil engineer, who has been actively engaged in the matter, and who also fur nished various soundings which have been taken. Mr. Baker expressed his personal opinion, which was coincided in by Captain Harnson and Mr. Yates, that if the pro posed accommodation were afforded, Bristol would be the most desirable port for the departure of the Great Eastern. It had been found that Liverpool and Southampton would be unsuited for such a vessel, and the only port presenting anything like the necessary requisites was Milford Haven. If, however, the new docks were made at Bristol, Mr. Baker stated that it presented so many other advantages that he should unhctiLitingly reornmend. the !Aortic::: of that port for flo Great Eutep, THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

(From the Globe.) The Daily News announces the death of its principal editor, Mr. William Weir an announce ment which will occasion genuine regret, and not alone within the walls of the office. A student at the universities of Scotland and of Germany, and at the Scottish bar, Mr. Weir bad acquired a most accomplished familiarity with history, literature, and law, in the spirit of those studies as well as in the letter. Endowed with natural taste, which his friendship with congenial minds had developed and refined, he was widely read in the artistic as well as graver sides of modern literature. It may be said that he was master of the library of Europe. Of geography he had made a special study, and was at home in any part of the map of the world. His friends justly anticipated for him a brilliant career at the Scottish bar, and ultimately no doubt in Parliament, whose debates he would have en- lightened and adorned ; but a strong, incurable, and increasing deafness drove him from the profession of law into journalism ; to which he brought attain ments such as few writers ommand, a generous heart and a flowing pen. Indeed one of the two faults that beset him m his career—the barrier which his deafness opposed to easy conver sation being the second—was almost a redundant readiness with the pen, which at times induced him to do scanty justice to his own maturer thought. But wise at heart, almost universally informed, possessing a memory tenacious and ever at call, he .could not hold his post without earning a high re pute. The grief of those who knew him at their sudden loss is lessened—not increased, as we some times fancy—by the reflection that, if there was one thing of which William Weir was incapable, it was to do anything ungenerous, coldhearted, or ungraceful. (From the Times.) Under this title the Daily News publishes a well earned tribute to the memory of its late editor—a gentleman to whom the public is greatly indebted for the able and honest conduct of that journal. We have often differed with it, but never without sincere respect for the ability and the gentlemanly spirit in which it wa s con ducted — a spirit which has made it, the youngest of our contemporaries, a Worthy representative of the English press. The Duchess of Inverness entertained a select circle at dinner, on Wednesday evening, at her apartments in Kensington Palace. F ALKI RK TRYST. — Wednesday, Sept. 15.—The show to-day came f u lly up to the numbe rs an ti c i pa t e d f rom the close of yesterday's proceedings. About nine o'clock a good quantity of stuff was shown of various kinds. There were few buyers to-day, more particularly from the west country, in consequence of a fair at talloch, in Dumbartonshire. There were more two-year-old West Highland stots than were expected on the ground to day, which brought equally good prices as yesterday, also the stirks of this kind of stock. The north country cattle were somewhat short in point of num bers, but the really good heifers and stets were at no less a figure than yesterday. A few of the inferior hinds would be 5 per cent. below yesterday's prices as re ported. There were a few Irish cattle, which met with little encouragement to-day; and the sales made amongst this kind would be about 24 per cent. below the price of yester day. The heavier cattle, although few in number, were readily picked up, and unless a few inferior beasts, suffered no reduction from yesterday. At the close of the market, those unsold were driven off for the southern jobbing markets. The old cows from the islands, and from Argyle shire, 'were large in number ; but they got very little en couragement, w ith one or two exceptions for the better class, which brought even a shade higher than yesterday ; but the second class was about 5 per cent. below yester day, and the inferior kinds Wei., unsukahlc. At the close of the Purkfit cumber were left =tad. • THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. DONCASTER RACES. (THIS DAY.) THE DON STAKES. Sunbeam .... w. o. PARK-HILL STAKES.

We have at present two boards deliberating on. the reconstruction of the Indian army, one sitting in London and the other in Bengal. The English board consists of the Marquis of Tweeddale, formerly Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Madras ; of Lord Melville, better known as Col. Dundas, who commanded the 60th Rifles in Scinde, and after wards in the Punjab between 1848 and 1832 ; Sir Harry Smith, long Adjutant-General of Queen's Troops in India, and afterwards so famous at Budi wal and Aliwal in 1846 ; Gen. Hancock, long our Adjutant-General, represents the Bombay army ; Gen. Montgomery that of Madras; and Gen. B.nri ton and Col. Tait that of Bengal. The committee; we confess, does not seem a promising one. The Marquis of Tweeddale was never in a position fully to realise the character of the sepoys. Lord Mel ville's violent prejudices against the Bengal army are on record, and one and all oT them have the fatal objections of being wholly of the traditions of former years, and not up to the time or the events to be dealt with by them. They are nearly all sure to set about restoring the system which has been shown to be obsolete and. incapable of restoration. The Sepoy army, to all rational men, can only beregarded as a thing of the past ; even the Sepoys of Madras and Bombay must have new functions and a new place assigned. to them, and the maintenance and defence of India. must hereafter, be entrusted to European hands. What we esteemed a vase of porcelain, beautiful as it was strong, has turned out a miserable potsherd, which lies in fragments at our feet, after having cut and bruised the hands of those who cherished. it. Its pieces can never be cemented. The attempt to restore it without its fancied strength or appa rent seemliness, gives it back to us with its only dangerous qualities left. Sir John Lawrence, Col. Edwardes, and Col. Durand constitute the Indian. Board. The names of these gentlemen are too well known to require us to speak of their qualifications. We should expect them all to be biassed against sepoy soldiers of the line, and against anything like caste in the army at all. 'Whoever we intrust with arms in their hands, and inwhatever capacity they appear, whether as irregulars or police, we trust their appearance as regulars is a thing so utterly out of the question as to be regarded as an impossi i bility, they must be made aware that onlyone power can be recognised among them ; that the commands of competent authority are supreme, to which everything, caste prejudice included, must give way. They are perfectly at liberty to enlist or decline enlisting on these terms ; having once en listed, they must abide by the bond. When tha State sets aside a part of its citizens intrusted with weapons, and which they are authorised to employ against the people, care must be taken that in no case shall they be used for other ends than those for which they were issued. We should strongly impress upon officers at them= time, as they value the affection and respect of their men, cautiously to abstain from doing anything calculated to hurt their feelings or interfere with their prejudices. To ignore caste as a power is not necessary to assail it as a nuisance. The men should be mad© to understand that we no nothing and care nothing about their caste ; we do not recognise its existence ; we neither assail it, nor do we submit for one mo ment to its tyranny. Brave, temperate, and be dient men will be dealt with as such—neither be in terfered with nor be permitted to interfere.—Bonn bay Standard, Aug. 16.
