ONEY 1424 CITY, Two O'CLOCK The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week have been of an encouraging character. The woollen trade of Leeds has shown more activity, and the dealings in heavy cloths for the winter demand has been to an average extent. Wools and yarns, at Bradford, have been inquired for, and in the market for piece goods there has been more animation. Business at Manchester has shown a marked improvement, owing to the influence of the late favourable weather, the dealings in goods suitable to the India and China markets having considerably increased. There is not much alteration to report in the general state of business at Leicester and Nottingham. Stocks, however, are low, bat the operatives are now engaged principally with harvest work. At Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a more animated tone has been apparent ; no material alteration, however, can at present be reported. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues active. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a buoyant appearance, and prices were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export and 3,000 on speculation. In the Railway Share Market busi ness was restricted, and the quotations of some of the principal lines were depressed. Owing to the limited inquiry for general pill.- poses, and the abundant supply of money, the rates of discount still tend downwards, business being reported in first class securities at 3, 1 per cent. Notwithstanding the probability of an augmented demand towards the end of the month there is an impression that lower quotations will speedily %pre vail, especially if the specie movement should con tinue favourable. A further sum of £20,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Oneida to the Brazils to-day is £36,129, of which £21,129 is in gold, and £14,000 is in silver. The adyices received this morning from New York report increased activity in the Money Mar ket, and the rates tended upwards. The Stock Market was very dull, and lower prices were cur rent, but the exchange on London had advanced to 110 to 110 k for 60 days' bills. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 24th August show an increase of £716 compared with the same period in 1859. The market for English Securities presents a very dull appearance, and further sales having been effected prices have tended downwards. Not withstanding the progress of the harvest and the easiness of mo ne y, th e speculators seem to anticipate increased depression, and operate accordingly. Consols are 931 for money, and 931 for the account in October. The New 3 per Cents. are 93/ 1 ; and a special transfer is recorded in the Reduced at 931. India Loan is firm at 1031 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 961 ; ditto 51 per Cent. 1021; and Exchequer Bills remain at par to 3s. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market a moderate degree of activity has prevailed, and prices are tolerably firm.

In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of Canada realised former rates ; East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula were a a shade flatter.

The Court was crowded throughout the examination of the witnesses, many of the principal inhabitants of the Parish being present, and outside the Court a large crowd had assembled. The following was the evidence adduced :—lnspector Thornton said that he was appointed to trace the mur derer and that on Saturday night the prisoner Mullins came to his He (witness' s ) h ouse d ur i ng h i s (w i tness ' s ) a bsence. saw his ( w i tness ' s) wife, and told her that he had some information to give about the murderer, of Mrs. Emsley.

Bugneudone CORN EXCHANGE. 88 90 931 94i 11 11 d 5 sid The whole of the country markets held on Saturday were _ _ vry dull for wheat, at 2s to 3s qer quarter less money. Barley was a slow inquiry at barely previous rates. Other descriptions of spring corn were heavy, and the turn lower. The flour trade was very dull on easier terms. The continental markets have been somewhat heavy for wheat; but the demand for the other produce has con tinued tolerably active. In the United States, wheat, maize, and flour have realised more money, owing to the large export demand. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad were large, viz., 36,337 quarters of wheat, 8,873 barley, 48,710 oats, 1,924 rye, 8,071 beans, 660 peas, 1,290 tares, 1,720 linseed, 2,680 rapeseed, 1,120 maize, 270 seeds, 4,531 sacks, and 989 barrels of flour.

The low state of the samples prevented any business of im • portanco from being transacted, even at low prices. This will be evident when we state that the quotations ruled from 44s to 60s per quarter, which rates may be considered 2s to 3s per quarter lower than on Monday last. The few samples of old wheat on offer were held at full prices ; but the demand for time was heavy, at about 2s. per quarter decline. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Nearly all kinds met a dull inquiry, at about 2s per quarter less money. Floating cargaes of grain were very dull, and lower to purchase. New barley was on offer at from 36s to 42s per quarter. The inquiry for foreign was much restricted, at barely late rates. 5 7 There was less doing in malt, and prices had a drooping endency. The show of foreign oats was large, and the trade was heavy, at 6d to is per qr less money. Beans and peas were in short supply and heavy request, at barely late rates. The flour trade was very dull, and town millers took orders at 56s per 2801 b. Country flour was is to 2s lower. American was quite is per barrel cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts, fresh up, were very moderate, and in comparatively poor condition. Most breeds sold at fully last week's prices; but the demand for them was by no means active. The best Scots realised quite 5s per 81bs. The az rivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from ether parts of England, 960 various breeds ; from Scot land, 4 Scots ; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep being considerably less than on Monday last, the mutton trade was somewhat active, at an improvement in the currencies of quite 2d per Blbs. The best Downs sold at 5s 6d per 81bs. The lamb trade is now nearly over. However, to-day, ruled steady, at full prices. We had a fair inquiry for calves—the supply of which was good—at previous rates. Prime small pigs were rather dearer.

It bears date the 10th of April, 1848, and is entirely in his own handwriting, but so badly written as to be scarcely deci phered, and the court was compelled to have a fair copy made from it.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACT - JUDGMENT-MATTHEWS V. CHAMBERLAIN. In this case, his Honour, observing that Mr. Beard and Mr. Buchanan were in their seats, said he had intended to have given judgment the latter end of the week, but finding he should not be here after Wednesday, he might as well deliver judgment at once. Upon considering the rule under which this action had been brought, his Honour found that the whole point of the case turned upon the words " Upon any free member expressing a desire to quit England, the committee shall have the power," &c. Now, upon looking over the rules his Honour found that the object of the society was to establish a fund for infirm members and for the purposes of superannuation, and in cases where free members had no work a certain sum was raised by contri butions from the members, but the spirit running through the rules was relief to infirm members. Now, there could be no doubt that upon the wording of the rule under which this action was brought, the granting of a certain sum upon any member expressing a desire to quit England was not compulsory. There was a power vested in the com mittee, who could exercise a discretion. Under these cir cumstances there was no dispute, consequently nothing to refer, and defendant must have a verdict. Mr. Beard—As this is a question on which the society are anxious to have your honour's opinion upon the rule, I trust there will be no costs. Mr. Buchanan—l must ask for them. His Honour—Oh, in that case costs must be awarded. HARLOCK AND OTHERS (TRUSTEES) V. 000DCHILD (TREA SURER).-THE UNITED TRADE BENEFIT SOCIETY OF LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTERS. This was an action to recover £lO Bs. 5d., money alleged o be due from the treasurer to the society. Mr. Beard. appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. Lewis for defendant, and Mr. Buchanan for a witness. Mr. Beard opened the case, and was about to call his witnesses when Mr. Lewis said he must have formal proof of the election of trustees. Mr. BeaPd put in a copy of the certificate lodged with Mr. Tidd Pratt. This copy being signed by the registrar, his Honour ruled that it was admissible. Some further argument ensued, and Mr. Lewis sug gested that the case should be refused. His Honour thought that a ♦ery proper course, and added, " They are called friendly societies, but the officers are the most unfriendly persons I ever met with." Mr. Beard and Mr. Buchanan offered no objection to the suggestion upon the part of their clients, and the case was refused. Mr. Lewis observing that his client did not owe a penny to the society. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr. Wolstan Dixie, Conservative Club, St. James's. street, gentleman, and Mr. Frederick Jardine, 2, Stafford. street, Bond-street, gentle man, were charged, the former with being drunk and creat ing a disturbance, and the latter with attempting to rescue the former from the custody of the police. Reeves, 44 C, said that this morning about one he was on duty in Albemarle-street, when he heard loud shouting, and on going to the spot found the two defendants with two prostitutes shouting and creating a great disturbance. He requested them to go away, and the females were about to do so when Dixie said, '• Oh, don't mind him, he walks the streets for 18s. a week." The females then walked away, and Dixie pulled out his watch, and putting it to his eye like an eye. glass, said, " You are a fine fellow to work for 18s. a week;" and the other defendant said, " You had better look after the thieves—there's a burglary up the street." Finding they would not go away he took Dixie into custody, and Jardine attempting to rescue him he took him also into custody. Dixie was very drunk, and pushed him about. Dixie denied he was drunk; and Sergeant Jeater, acting inspector, not only stated that ho was very drunk, but made use of obscene language. Mr. Beadon said he should have thought that he (Dixie) would have had more sense than have called the inspector to prove not only that he was drunk, but made use of ob scene language. He should discharge Jardine, and fine Dixie 20s. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

Great improvements have been made in he programme, not the least important of which is the change as regards the Portland Plate, it having been introduced into Thursday's card instead of Wednesday's. There are upward s of two thousand pounds to be distributed over thirty different items, so that, besides the St. Leger, there are some magnificent prizes to be picked up, the Don caster Cup being of 300 sovs. value, while £2OO constitute the Portland Plate; in addition to a 5 sovs. Sweepstakes, £2OO, the Nursery Plate, and £lOO is added to each of six other events. We commence on Tuesday with the Fitz william Stakes, a mile weight for age race, with all ages, which is sure to be a great feature; then there are three two-year-old races ; another all-aged weight for age race, but over a short course ; a mile handicap, for all but two year-olds ; and a selling race. On Wednesday there is a greater variety, for, in addition to the St. Leger there are two contests for the juveniles, one being a handicap ; a two and three-year -old Sweepstakes, the Queen's Plate, a mile handicap, and a sprint ditto; while Thursday gives us two great handicaps in the Portland Plate and Cleveland Stakes, a mile two and three-year-old race, and another for juveniles over the same distance, with two three-year-old contests, and a selling race. Friday's great card is, of course, the Cup, which is backed up by four interesting three-year -old events, the Nursery Handicap, a " sprint" ditto, and a selling race. Consequently, there will be nothing to find fault with in any one individual card, while as a whole the meeting cannot but be looked upon as one of extreme grandeur. The great two-year-old event of the week is the Cham pagne Stakes, Red House-in, about six furlongs, which can boast thirty-three subs., and a goodly number will put in a claim for them, Parasite, Imaus, Knight of the Thistle, Kettledrum,Wing, Walloon, Lady Louisa, Betts, Prudence, and Virgilius having all gained friend. by their style of performing in public, and there are one or two dark celebri ties in the list. Parasite and Lady Louisa have distin guished themselves so well lately that I expect to see them run first and second. The Filly Stakes should fall to Baron Rothschild by the aid of his speedy little filly, Queen of the Vale. The Glasgow Stakes will be won by Mr. Merry's repre sentative. In the Revival Plate, there are a lot of good animals en tered that will not run; however, Damascus, 2 yrs, 6st 91b, and Polyolbion, 6st ofii, have the best of the weights in the list, and, should their owners think 100 soya worth having, one of them may run and win. For the Doncaster Plate, one mile, Ticket-of-Leave, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, must run well, Donner and Blitz, 3 yrs, Est 91b, being one of his very dan • gerous opponents—who may, however, be reserved for something better during the week. In the Great Yorkshire Handicap Underhand has again accepted with the top weight, 9st 31b, an impost I have no expectation of seeing him carry to the goal successfully, though both the course and the distance will be more in his favour than at York. Hepatica's recent victory at Stockton has given her a rather high position in the han i•• cap, being weighted 31b over Starke, who, having accepted with Bst 41b, his performance, be it good or bad, is certain to affect Umpire's position in the St. Leger betting. The American, however, to my notion, can have little chance unless immensely improved since Goodwood; nor indeed have I much fancy for any of the top weights, the best of which are Adam Bede and Gladiolus. Telegram, 5 yrs, Tat, is especially well in ; but I have the greatest fancy for the three-yr-olds, and I shall expect to see this race carried off by either Cherie Arnie or Conscript. There are seven items set for decision on Wednesday, the most important of which is the St. Leger ; and the following are the horses from which the field will be selected, with their probable riders : Horses. Probable Riders. Thormanby Sabreur The Wizard Umpire Sweetsauce St. Albans L. Snowden. Stampedo Restes Winton Buccaneer Toni Bowline Sir 'William Cramond High Treason ... Avalanche Clement. North Lancashire Vanquisher It will be noticed that within one of a moiety the above —Sabreur, Sweetsauce, St. Albans, Stampede, Avalanche, North Lancashire, and Vanquisher—took no part in the contest for the Derby, consequently the race so far is more " open" than any of the three preceding St. Lagers, and the defeat sustained by The Wizard, coupled with the suc cessful performances of Sweetsauce and Sabreur, aided so materially in its maintaining that character, it is not sur prising, independent of other causes, thit the betting should have assumed quite a different phase from what it presented some months ago, when it indeed appeared a t` f"regone conclusion" in favour of either Thormanby or The Wizard. Thormanby's performances are so well known that I would advise no liberties to be taken with him, and were it not that I have my d übts of the horse being all right, he should represent me alone. Umpire has greatly improved, and he might run into a situation. Buccaneer, by 'Wild Dayrell, out of Cruiser's dam, was the undoubted champion of last year's two-yr-olds ; but he was so unfairly treated at home that he has never been the same animal this year, although he ran forward in the Derby. At Goodwood he was not half fit, and many booked him a " safe 'un" for this event, on the ground that he would not like the preparation ; but, thanks to the heavy rains that have fallen, he has done strong work for the last four or five weeks, and I do not consider his half a "safe 'un." Sweetsauce, by Sweetmeat, ont of Irish Queen, jumped into a prominent position in the market on the strength of his double victory at Goodwood, but the subsequent running of those he defeated in the Cup says but little for them, although we must not rob the horse of any credit, for he won in the most easy style. The short race, however, proved his form to be good, as he beat Maggiore in a man ner that proves him equal to Dundee, looking at what the American mare did with the latter at York. The reported trial with the Wizard I set down as nought, as I have no faith in trials, and shall expect to see him beat the 'Wizard in the race. St. Albans, by Stockwell, out of Bribery, is an anima' well known to the racing world on account of his remark able public career. From the severe accident he met with shortly before the Derby he has not, I believe, yet quite recovered; and, instead of the judge according him the race, I shall expect to hear that he broke down within the distance. The 'Wizard I have no fancy for, and I do not expect he will get the distance. As I said before I expect to see Sweetsauce beat him. Sabreur won his races so easily at York, and boat such good fields, that I need scarcely look farther for the winner. To sum up, I expect the judge to place them in the follow ing order : SABREUR SWEETSAUCE BUCCANEER UMPIRE 4 Klarikoff ought to win the Municipal Stakes. Souvenir, Chirper, and Tightfit look well for the Corporation Plate. For the Portland Plate Glenbuck and Fen&la are worth remembering. The weights for the Cleveland Handicap appear to have given more satisfaction than those for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, nearly a moiety of the horses engag ed having ac cepted. The distance being only a mile , seems favourable to Comforter, who, with Bst 2 1 b, ha s nothing to complain of ; neither has Benbow, 4 yrs, 7st, nor Heiress, 4 yrs, Gst 71b ; and to the trio I leave the result. The extent of the field for the Doncaster St akes will, in some measure, be govern ed b y the result of th e St. , consequenily it is almos t a waste of time attempting to select from the fifty - n ine nominations tho se likely to reach the starting-post.

(From the Money Market Review.) The practice of allowing interest on deposits at call, and to a certain extent on current accounts, is one of the principal features of the business of our joint-stock banks. If the system did not precisely originate with them, they at least, with one or two exceptions, have developed it. To those who feel a preference for a sound steady business, instead of a brilliant and speculative one, this circumstance must always be a matter of regret. The innovation in fact will not bear examination, and appears en tirely at variance with true banking policy. The proper mode of conducting a bank is too well understood to need much reference here. A banker undertakes the custody of sums of money, which he is ready to deliver on de mand. At the same time he knows that by re taining a certain proportion he is quite safe against all ordinary contingencies, and the remainder he can employ for his own profit. In the latter ease his chief object is to hold such securities as can be realised er a t a l most any moment, or to discount come m cial paper falling due at a fixed and early p cried. The propri e t y of thi s course is evident. As long as a trader has numerous claims to meet, which may come upon him at any time without notice, he must protect himself b y havi ng a ll hi s assets readily con vertible. Another important po int is also is be con sidered. It is in the highest degree improbable that a good bank will, even in hard times, be exposed to a run, but it is very likely it will suffer great pressure. Bankers, whose business it is to watch the varying phases of the money market, are acute enough to foresee such events. If their business is con ducted in the recognised mode, they can strengthen their position gradually with the least incon venience to themselves and thepublic. This power of adaptation to circumstances is of enormous value to an institution like a bank, but appe ars to be to say the least, considerably weakened by the practice of allowing interest on deposits. In the first place, a bank allowing interest is no longer an entirely free agent. It may doubt the wisdom of employing mare than a certain proportion of the deposits it holds; but if that limitation should involve a loss, it is sure in the long run to be set aside. No bank would dream of keeping idle for any appreciable time a balance upon which it has to pay a regular rate of interest. If money is worth 5 per cent. in the open market, and a bank allows 4, it is clear it would be a losing business not to lend out about £BO,OOO out of every £lOO,OOO deposited, although prudence might dictate the employment of a much smaller proportion. The bank may, it is true, get out of the difficulty by altogether refusing to take deposits at an inconvenient moment, but with the present competition between bankers, the risk of disobliging a customer is carefully avoided, and such instances of denial are conse quently rare. It thus follows that under the pre sent system it is nearly impossible for a bank to regulate the whole of its business simply according to the state of the money market ; and in critical times an establishment may go on for months keeping its connection together, but still with an uneasy feeling that its position is by no means as secure as it ought to be. Secondly, the practice tends in no small degree to foster undue speculation. This is especially observable at a time when the rates of interest are high. Since depositors receive a fixed rate of 1 per cent. below the Bank minimum, the proportion of their balances that must be used is constantly varying. Thus, with money at 3 per cent., a banker can retain one-third of his deposits in cash, but at 6 or 7 he can afford to retain only about a sixth. As a result of these arrangements, and of the consequent necessity of employing money, commer cial paper is occasionally scrutinised less narrowly , than it should be, and speculators take the oppor tunity of extending their paper transactions to the utmost. It would be unfair to charge a disturbance like the crisis of 1857 to nothing else than taking deposits at interest, but by indirectly giving rise to a hazardous style of doing business the practice certainly tends that way. While convinced of the inexpediency of a bank taking deposits bearing interest and repayable at call, we admit that, with the limitation of fixed. periods, and at such rates as may be convenient, there is nothing to be said against these transac tions. As a middle-man between the person who has money to lend and the one who wishes to bor row, a banker but fulfils a part of his functions in providing each with the requisite facilities in consi deration of a moderate commission. The plan, however, of taking money at interest, repayable on demand, and lending it out for a fixed period, is not only unsound in itself but likely in some con junctures to create no small amount of difficulty. DEC,IMAL 01NAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. As the present appears to be the most favourable opportunity that has ever occurred for the introduc tion of a decimal currency, I take the liberty of offering the following for the consideration of those most interested in the proposed change : The new copper coinage is nearly ready for circu lation. Pence, halfpence, and farthings are already coined, each of rather less value than those at pre sent in use. To introduce the decimal system, it is only necessary to reduce the value of a farthing to to the I,oooth part of a pound instead of the 960th, as at present, and to issue one new coin of the value of ten farthings, and the whole matter will be ac complished without the necessity of deranging ac counts or interfering with them in any way except to render them more simple and less liable to error. The alteration would not even necessitate new account-books, as accounts would still be kept in pounds ; and, as 10 of the new coins (which I should name decime) would be equal to one florin, they would stand thus—pounds, florins, decimes, far things, instead of pounds, shillings, pence, far things; but this would be sufficiently indicated by merely pointing off the figures to the right hand — thus, 9,8, 7, 6 would represent 9 pounds, 8 florins, 7 decimes, 6 farthings. But, as farthings have always been represented as fractional parts of f_t penny, so they may be still written as fractiona l r Arts of a decime in the decime column; thus 9 B,'eight "7,;-10th, or 3-x, would represent nine pounds, eight; By this . gins, seven decimes, three farthin gs ; worn arrangement nearly the whole of th n e d : T co rn e i3 bein g g t e still lat th pre sente in use might be retained unt il out, their relative value to the po und being value con., same, the only variation in 1 andr insign ificantea facilitatecoicoin—viz., -- viz.) th e the intro ductionfined to the most far thing. recommend that, to avoid I should, however , confusion, and to simp li fy decimal currency, the calledthreepenny and fourpenn y . p ie ces t . in, and, as he crown and half crown • soon as convenient new gold . pieces also; in lieu of which .w coins of the value of and three florins might be advantageously • two troduced ; the current coins would then be all of a uniform though not strictly decimal character, and w ould stand as follows : Farthings, of which four would still represent one penny, and ten one decime ; Declines, of which ten would represent one florin. Florins, of which ten would The shilling would pound . representone p _ Id ou still represent half a florin, and the sixpence the quarter florin. But the sooner they could be altogether superseded by pieces of a strictly decimal character so much the better, and these might be of the respective value of two and five decimes, and would prove admirable substitutes for both coins ; the one being named the half florin, the other the double decline. Both the decline and double decime should be silver coins. The advantages of the introduction of this system of accounts are not easily realised. The saving in time in calculating extensive monetary transactions cannot be estimated ; but when the simplicity of the mode of converting any amount of the lowest de nomination into its equivalent in the highest be taken into consideration, it will readily be con ceived that the saving in the number of clerks alone in all Government offices, and the reduction in quantity of all kinds of stationery used in them, will be quite sufficient to justify me in saying that it would soon prove very nearly, if nOt quite, an equivalent for the total repeal of the excise duty' upon paper. _ A DECIMAL FRACTION• It is the intention of the Q ueen t o g i v e a new fleet f her e The window to the Church of Sidmouth, in merV e.
