BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. The near approach of the York Meeting infused a little More spirit in our market to-day, than we have had for some st( time past. There was a goodly muster of subscribers, but t , speculation was confined to only a few animals: For the Ebor Handicap, Defender Was in great force, 3 to 1 being taken towards the close, and the friends of Moorhen sup- 1 ported her in earnest, 50 to 4 was laid against her yester day, but all prices from that down to 7to 1 was taken st eagerly about her to -day. There were many inquiries st about Cape Flyaway, but we saw no disposition to take less St , than 11 to 1, and S a tellite found friends at 100 to 8.

Gren a dier, Vesta, Violet, Prudence, ilarefoot, Gardener, Sampson, Hepatica, Vouralak, and Tyrant. Many of the parcels of gold lately sent to the Continent have been for Spain. It has been suggested that these remittances may have been for the purpose of pur chasing some of the silver in i course of receipt for the Moorish indemnity, but the belief s that they were simply to pay for wheat, the harvest this year in Spain having been extraordinarily abundant. Nearly all the heavy supplies of grain now pouring into the port of London from the Con tinent have already been paid for, and if the uninterrupted badness of the weather had not led to the expectation that large further orders may now be in course of transmission, there would have been reason to expect that the foreign e x _ changes, which have been so long unfavourably influenced, might henceforth assume a better appearance. THE ROAD MURDER.—We learn from the Bristol Mercury that the police have been engaged in prosecuting an investigation at Road, the nature of which is, for pru dential reasons, not permitted to transpire but we believe we are correct in stating that they entertain the hope that some light will shortly be thrown on this hitherto impene trable mystery. THE NOTTINGHAM LACE MAICERS' LOCK-GUT. — The lock-out in the Mechlin trade still continues. The em ployers refuse to give the increase of wages demanded by the men, and the workmen object to go in unless their de man is acceded to. Subscriptions are being received for the support of the lock-outs from several parts of the kingdom, and there does not appear any probability o f th e struggle being terminated for some time to come.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, which, in most instances, was disposed of at is to 2s per quarter more money. The small. quantity of barley, oats, beans, and peas on offer changed hands at very full prices, and there was an im proved inquiry for flour. On. the Continent, owing to the continuance of wet wea ther, the wheat trade has become firmer. In prices, how ever, no change of importance has taken place. All spring corn has realised extreme currencies. The export inquiry for fl our has somewhat increased in the United States, and price s have had an upward tendency. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were again limited. The imports from abroad were large, viz., 33,600 qrs. of wheat, 3,403 barley, 47,580 oats, 205 tares, 6,640 linseed, 3,820 rapeseed, 1,460 made, 100 sundry seeds, 7,591 sacks, and 11,228 barrels of flour. Notwithstanding that nearly the whole of the country markets come dearer, and that harvest operations are very backward, no inclination was shown on the part of the millers, to-day, to get into stock. The show of English wheat was trifling, coastwise and by lend carriage. Good and useful qualities were disposed of somewhat steadily, and, in some instances, last week's prices were rather exceeded. At the close of business prices were 2s. higher. There were several large country buyers in attendance, and they took off full average quantities of foreign wheat, at quite is per quarter above last week's quotations. For consumption in London, however, the demand was by no means active, at fully late rates. lamb's, is 5d to 2e 11d ; please, is 6d to is 8d ; looks, is Old to is 81d; grease, is to is 6d.

Beans were in short supply and good request, at last week's quotations. Peas were quite as dear as last week, with a steady in quiry. The flour trade was firm, and country marks were held on rather higher terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

BENEFICES AIGMENTED.—On Saturday a return to the House of Commons was issued, showing that up to the 31st October last. 249 benefices were augmented, at £241,977 • and 1,178 others, at an annual grant of £90,079 11x. 4d. REMOVAL OF THE EAST INDIA BOARD.—The work of removing from the old India House to the Victoria Hotel, in Westminster, will commence on the Ist of Sep tember. The rent to be paid for tho portion of the hotel to be occupied by the various offices is £6,000, in addition to one-half of the rates and taxes. In consequence of recent alterations in the Government of India the accommodation required is at present much less than was formerly the case. The transfer of the accounts to the Bank of England, sad the payment of the dividend by that establishment, has ren dered unnecessary a large portion of the accountant and audit office. The amalgamation of the Indian with the Queen's army has transferred the military department to the Horse Guards, and the management of the smalllndian navy will in future be carded on at the old stores of the Company. Nothing is yet known as to what ie intended with respect to the Museum. The furniture for the new offices at the hotel, with the exception of the carpets, which are to be provided by the Company, will be supplied from the present India House. The cost of the removal will be £6,000, and the upholstery work has been undertaken by a firm in the city, under the superintendence of Mr. Digby Wyatt, the clerk of the works to the Indian Council. FUMBLING OF SPIRIT HANDS.—We now returned to the larger table, for the purpose of being touched by ti spirit hands. " The first person selected by Mrs. Mar shall as the subject of this manifestation was a lady seated close to herself. A long pause ensuing, and nothing ap pearing to take place, Mrs. Marshall suddenly exclaimed, " You'll feel them immediately, ma'am, they're a-pulling at my legs." Directly after which the lady in question cer tainly did feel something pulling at her legs. A sceptic might be inclined to surmise that the younger medium hav ing in the first instance made a mistake, her aunt took this means of setting her right and directing the instrument with which she was operating under a table little further to the left. However this might be, I now requested the niece to favour me by leaving her seat for a short time, in order that we might feel the " spirit hands" without any suspicion of collusion on her part. This, I added, would no doubt be more satisfactory to her as well as to ourselves. She declined to do this. After which the reader will not be surprised to learn that several persons felt something tugging at their legs and feet, every one of these being in the immediate vicinity of the younger medium, and no effect of the kind being once produced upon those seated at a little distance.—Once a Week. ARMSTRONG v. MARTELLo.—Although a notice has appeared in The Sun of the experiments recently made on a Martello tower at Eastbourne, to test the efficacy of the larger descriptions of the Armstrong gun for breaching, so much curiosity prevails on the subject, and the results attained were so important, that we find room for some fur ther particulars. The Martello tower selected as the object to be fired at was one which the sea was gradually under mining, and the guns employed were a 40-pounder of 31 cwt., an 80 pounder of 63 cwt., and a short 100-pounder, weihing only 53 cwt. The distance was 1,032 yards, and the projectiles employed were partly solid shot and partly percussion shells. The tower was built of very strong brick work, the thickness of the walls being 7ft. 3in. on the land side, and 9ft. on the side next the sea. It measured 48ft. in diameter at the base, and was upwards of 30ft. high. Like all other Martello towers, it was arranged to carry one heavy gun en barbette. The roof or platform bearing this gun consisted of a massive vault of great strength, sup ported by the walls and by a solid pillar of brickwork oc cupying the centre of the tower. The chief merit which has been claimed for Martello towers is that, from their cir cular form, they deflect all shot which strike them in the curve; but the accuracy of rifled guns has rendered this advantage of small importance, while the exposed condition of the gun on the top would render it entirely useless agairist arms of precision. The experiments commenced by a few rounds of solid shot from the 40-pounder and the 80- pounder, and of blind shells from the 100 Tounder, the ob . pet being to ascertain the penetration of these various pro jectiles. The 80. pounder shot was found to pass quite through the wall into the tower, piercing 7ft. 3in. of brick work ; the others lodged in the wall at the depth of about 5 feet. Live shells were then fired, and with so much effect that after 8 or 10 rounds from each gun the interior of the tower became exposed to view. The !ring was then sus pended to enable his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief, who was present, to examine the breach, and also to allow of the execution of a photograph. The fire was resumed in the evening, and continued at intorvvals on the following day. The centre pillar supporting the bomb proof roof was speedily knocked away, but the structure was so compact that the vault continued to stand, and was only brought down by a succession of shells exploded in the brickwork. Nothing could exceed the precision with which those shells were thrown. The broken section of the vault was itself but a small object to hit, but this was done with sack unerring certainty that the very spot selected was al most invariably struck. The total number of shot and shell fired against the tower was 170, of which only a small proportion was from the 100-pounder. The ultimate result was that the land-side of the tower was completely de stroyed, and the interior space filled with the debris of the vaulted roof. The opposite side was also injured, but the mound of fallen materials saved it from destruction. W e may infer from these valuable experiments that no species of masonry or brickwork penetrable by percussion shells will in future be available in fortification. Nor is it con ceivable how wooden ships are to withstand the effects of such projectiles. The 100-pounder gun used on this occa sion is probably the most formidable weapon ever yet pro duced. Its shell, which weighs 1001 b., contains Sib. of powder, aid yet the weight of the gun with which this tre ' mendous projectile is discharged is less than that of the or , dinary 32-pounder, the weight of which is 66 cwt. 1859. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY), COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) The cases this morning were chiefly meetings for choice of assignees and audits.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.) Daniel Parker, hawker, was brought before Mr. Payne, charged with stealing £1 10s. from Mr. William Gottener, cheesemonger, in his shop, South Hackney-road, on Satur day, 4th August last. It appeared that the prisoner went into the prosecutor's shop and asked change of a shilling. Prosecutor took out of his pocket one sovereign and one half sovereign—the prisoner snatched it out of his hand and ran out of the shop. Police-constable No. 335 took him into custody, and found £1 108 in gold and Bs. 6d. in silver on him. His mother said she gave him £1 19s. on the Friday preceding. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A PUGILIST.—Joseph Cobley, a well-known pugilist, was charged before Mr. Beadon with the following unprovoked assault : Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mark Varrow, 140 C, whose head was bandaged, said that about 12 on Saturday night he was in Castle-street, Leicester-square, when a female, who was waiting for her husband, complained that a man who was in company of the prisoner had insulted her. Having pointed out the man to him, he was asking him if he knew the female, when the prisoner came up and said " What do you want ?" and struck him a violent blow in the mouth. He caught hold of the prisoner to secure him, when a scuffle ensued, and he fell on the back of his head on the kerb, and while on the ground the prisoner gave him a severe cut in the eye and a kick on the leg. He had hold of the prisoner's collar, but some one making him release his hold, the prisoner made off till he was stopped by another constable and taken to the station. He (Varrow) then went to a surgeon's and had his head dressed, and had not been on duty since. Mr. Lewis said he was not there to deny the assault, and it was certainly unprovoked, but he was instructed the prisoner had been in a lunatic asylum, and that a little drink had an injurious effct on him. Mr. Beadon said if it had not been for that he should have committed him for a month. lie should, however, fine him 40s. or a month ; but if he came before him again, he should, after what was said, feel himself bound to send him for trial. IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(SATURDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, at which time only 40 members were present, which barely constituted the house. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Josiah Ashton, a tall and powerful man, about 31 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting and wounding John Regan, a little man. Both men are natives of Ireland, and employed at Croll's Alnm Works, on Bow-common. On Saturday night there was a row at the works, which Regan said began about nothing at all, and ended in a fight. The prisoner got the best of Regan, and there the matter ended. Yesterday morning, soon after eight o'clock, Regan was returning from the Roman Catholic Church, in Poplar, where he hail attended early prayers, and was in com pany with two of his countrymen, named Keefe and Gleason, when the prisoner ran out of his house in Sabberton-street, Poplar, without any hat on, and seizing Regan by the neck, said " Don't be inn hurry," and struck him several times on the face with his fist. The prisoner's wife also left her house and called out, " Hit him, kill him, kill the -; if you don't, I will." The prisoner then took a stout iron poker from under his coat and struck Regan several times over the head with it, inflicting severe wounds, from which the blood flowed copiously. Regan called out murder, and staggered towards a house, the pas sage of which he entered. The landlord turned him out, and the prisoner was about to attack Regan again when Keefe and Gleeson interfered and secured the prisoner. Regan was conveyed to the house of a surgeon close by, his wounds were dressed, and he was sent home. He appeared in court in a most deplorable condition, and very weak from loss of blood. Michael Keefe and Nicholas Gleason, Irish labourers, who gave their evidence with great propriety and correct ness, confirmed Regan in every particular, and added that the prisoner came behind Regan when he first seized him, and said he would murder him. The prisoner made a long defence, and entered into the history of former quarrels with Regan, who, he said, chal lenged him to fight yesterday morning, and they did fight in the road. The defence was declared to be quite false. Mr. Yardley directed Mr. Rowdier, the second clerk, to take the depositions formally, and committed the prisoner for trial under Lord Campbell's Act for unlawfully wound ing the prosecutor.

Knox has boon appointed to the vacancy caused by the transfer of Mr, Mankacld. PRIVATE BUSINESS Mr. AYRTON gave notice that he would draw the atten tion of the house to the circumstance of several important bills having been left unconsidered this session, and to ask what course would be adopted by Government in regard to these measures being taken up early next session. COMPANIES' BILL. In reply to Mr. E. JAMES, • Mr. GIBSON said that on Monday next he would state what course Government would adopt with regard to this bill. SALARY OF THE DEAN OF YORK.—THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, Sir G. LEWIS said that a short time ago an inquiry had been instituted by direction of the Treasury into the esta blishment of the Ecclesiastical Commission, but he was not in a position to state what were the powers of the Home office in respect to the Treasury. However, if the hon ourable member repeated his question next week he would receive a reply. It appeared that the business of the Eccle siastical Commission had increased largely of late years. Mr. CONINGHAM gave notice that on bringing up the report of committee of Supply, he would move the rejection of the vote for the Ecclesiastical Commission. REFORM. Mr. WARNER said that a question would be asked by the country with regard to the Reform Bill, and he thought Government should give some intimation as to the course they proposed to pursue with reference to a Reform Bill. He thought that much unjust censure had been thrown on the Government in regard to the Reform Bill which they had introduced this session. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of "apply, and tb. following votes were agreed to -- £17,000 for Lighthouses; £4,260 for the Orange Expedition; £27,000 for British Caffraria ; £34,442 for Treasury Chests, &c. On the vote of £20,000 for submarine telegraphs, some discussion took place. Mr. LAING stated that the Mediterranean telegraph and the Channel Islands telegraph were not in an efficient condition. 'With regard to the Red Sea telegraph there was an absolute contract, and they had no rgraedy. Mr. AYRTON moved the omission of the item oi £7,200 for the Mediterranean telegraph, and £l,BOO for the Channel Islands telegraph. Sir G. LE WIS stated that he was responsible for the first contract, the:ltem for which it was proposed to omit. He considered that under the circumstances, although the contract has not teen fully carried out, that this itern could not properly be disallowed. As regards a Channe;l Island telegraph, it was but the communication. Mr. B. OSBORNE accused the Government of having forced different items of expenditure on 'ale house, and complained of their being called on to pay for contracts when they had not been carried out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the conduct of the Government, contending that they would not have been justified in not end:devouring to pro vide a communication with Malta. Mr. WHITE considered that it war, very tinfair to take exception to this vote, when the Government, in making the contracts, had done all in their power with regard to a matter of considerable importance, and he hoped the amendment would not be presse,l Sir H. WILLOUGHBY contended that the necessary judgment and discretion in respect to packet and telegraph contracts, which involved. a large expenditure, had not been displayed by Government, and hoped that in future these contracts would not be decided without being pre viously discussed in this house. After some conversation the amendment was negatived without a division, and the vote was agreed to. The following votes were also agreed to : £7,000 for the Niger Expedition. £11,500 for the Zambese Expedition. £2,500 for Inspectors of Burial Grounds. On the vote of £2OOO for the formation of a gallery'of his torical portraits, Mr. SPOONER objected to this vote, as the object to which it was to be applied was neither beneficial to art or calculated to improve public morals. He concluded by moving the rejection of the vote. After some conversation the house divided— For the vote Against 8 Majority Some minor votes for the civil service in Ireland were agreed to without discussion. On the vote of £1,914 for the purchase of old. gun. :metal for the bas-reliefs of the Wellington Testimonial in Mona Park, Dublin, &c., Mr. B. OSBORNE demurred to the vote, and. asserted that the monument in question was hideous. Lord PALMERSTON supported the vote, and con tended that the statue in question was very ornamental. The vote was agreed to, as were £1,680 for the Fizi Island Enquiry, £2,500 for the drawings of Old Masters, £5,000 for a National IGallery in Ireland ; £5,000 for an Industrial Museum at Edinburgh ; £2,660 for a Guard room at Windsor Castle. On the vote of £15,000 for increasing the accommodation for painting and sculpture in the National Gallery, Trafal gar-square, Lord H. LEN NOX said that he agreed with the noble lord at the heal of the Government, who had stated on a former occasion that the hall in which the sculpture was exhibited was quite unsuited for the purpose. He con tended that the Royal Academy, with large funds at their disposal, should provide not only a gallery for its pictures, but also for its sculpture. He would not press the com mittee to a division at present, but would introduce the subject again when the report was brought ap. Mr. COWPER said it had beenOadmitted by all parties that the Nationel Gallery was insufficient to accommodate the pictures and sculpture collected in it. Until it was known what was to be done with regard to the British Museum, it would not be competent for the Government to decide respecting Burlington House, oe any other building for the reception of the collection in question, but they were anxious to do all in their power to set this subjeci; satisfac:mily at rest. As he had previously stated, it was proposed to make a central hall in the interior, which would not in the slightest degree interfere with the interior walls, and would promote the ultimate object of giving up the building entirely to the National Gallery for its own collection. It would he neces sary to construct a facade, and ultimately it relight be necessary to purchase St. Martin's workhouse at. the back of the building. Mr. B. OSBORNE expressed his thanks tel the noble lord who had brought the subject forward, and he did not consider the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Cowpor) had given a lucid statement or one calculated to satisfy the public or the house. He called on the few members present to sup port the noble lord in his views on this subject. Mr. CONINGHAM called on the representatives of the public to withhold any further expenditure for the purpose. The Gallery originally cost £lOO,OOO, and when the Royal Academy was admitted within its walls, it was with the understanding that the space allotted to it should be re sumed when it was required for the purposes of the Na tional Gallery. He contended that the time had now arrived, as the National Gallery was compelled to refuse valuable bequests of pictures for want of space. Mr. E. JAMES opposed the vote, and said they wars about to plunge into an indefinite expense, and the cost of purchasing St. Martin's Workhouse would be £60,000 or £7O 000. Mr. MONSELL also opposed the vote. Mr. COWPER said that he supposed he had not made himself intelligible, for if his proposal were agreed to it would render unnecessary at present any enlargement of the National Gallery, which it would make adequate for its pictures fer eight or 10 years without additional expense. Mr. P. O'BRIEN objected to the vote on the ground that it would not accomplish the object of making the Na tional Gallery spitable to the purpose for Well it woes in tended. Lord PALMERSTON defended the vote from e lonotr;- cal considerations. The fact was there were two mites of rooms placed at different ell rerr';ies of the build g, and a chasm between them which it was proposed to connect and thus make a large central saloon that would afford ample space for the pictures. They had sculptors who equal'ed the most eminent artists on the continent„ and yet they had no place at present to exhibit their productions but a cellar, of which ho always felt ashamed when he entered it. After some further discussion, Lord PALMERSTON said that he appeared to bo mis understood. The alteration proposed, while it wort ld afford increased accommodation for the exhibition of se topture, would prove permanently useful for the exhibition of 1 pictures. Besides, there were several very valuable pictures a which had been left to the country on the condition ti tat they were to be exhibited in the National Gallery.
