MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS'. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been few, the high rates current for most of the princi pal staples preventing in some measure increased consumption. Holders have shown no disposition to give way, and hence the trade generally have 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 elcoa have been inactive, at about former values. The large arrivals of new fruit have in some mea sure affected the market, and 'prices have shown a downward tendency. Spices have been at steady quotations, as also saltpetre and indigo. The next quarterly sale of this article, it is announced, will commence on the 13th proximo. Tallow has been steady, with rather more activity for forward de li very, the quotations for the spring months show ing a slight improvement. _ _ Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday exhibited a rather dull appear ance, but prices were unaltered. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and the business done was limited, at about previous quotations. _ _ An addition of £35,000 in American gold was made yesterday to the general stock of bullion at the Bank of England. The next return is not ex pected to have a large increase, as the ablence of Australian supplies has diminished the influx. Several vessels are now due, and as it frequently happens, two or three will probably arrive almost aimultaneously. The whole of these anticipated consignments will no doubt be sent to the Bank, the requirements elsewhere being insufficient to absorb more than a very small proportion of the general importation. The demand for money continues very moderate, and 2 per cent. is about_ the average charge for first class paper. The settlements at the Stock Exchange, and the prepartions for the commercial bills due on the 4th, may, however, stimulate the inquiry towards the end of the week. The directors of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company have issued their report, previously to the general meeting on Thursday. This docu ment refers to the various difficulties encountered by the directors prior to their obtaining the gua rantee of 6 per cent. from the Colonial Government for 50 years, on the sum of £470,000. The line is to be a single one, and the land will be given by the Government, and will be sufficient for a double line. The board agree to call up no more capital than is covered by the guarantee, without the con sent of the shareholders. The remainder of the deposit is made payable , by the 23d of October next. There has been a further improvement in the English Stock Market, and several transactions for the rise have taken place. The Government broker has again been a buyer of about £20,000 Consols but the market at the present moment is a shade flatter. The advance will, no doubt, tempt some of those who bought at lower prices to realise their profits, although confidence is expressed in a further rise. Consols have been 971 98 for transfer, 98 to 981 for the 4th proximo, and 98k for Nov. They are now 98 to 98k, 98k and 981 1, respectively. The New 21 per cents. have been dealt in at 82. The March Exchequer Bills, 335. prem. ; June ditto, 255. to 28s. prem. India Stock is firm,. at 216 to 2183; ditto Loan Deben tures have improved to 991, ; ditto (second issue), to 991 ; ditto Scrip (second issue), to 994 ; and ditto Bonds, 14§. prem. Bank Stock, for account, is marked 2271. Foreign Securities are in fair demand at en hanced quotations. Turkish 0 per Cents. are 971 ; ditto New Scrip, 1 to 1 prem. ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Russian 41 per Cents., 1001 1 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 931 ; Spanish New Deferred, 291 30 ; ditto Certificates, 6g ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 401 1; ditto Deferred, 151 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents., 1021. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Thursday, 30th September, a special settling day for the Scrip of the Indian and Aus tralian Telegraph Company, Limited, and business to be marked in the official lists. The Committee also ordered that the shares of the Oriental Inland Steam Company be quoted in future. In the Railway Share Market the preparations for the settlement of the usual half-monthly ac count are now inprogress. A rather active busi ness has been done, and prices generally show a decided improvement. Brighton and North British have advanced 10s, North-Western 15s, Caledo nians, Eastern Counties, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Midland, and South-Eastern, L 1; and Great Northern, and North-Eastern (Berwick) £1 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also shown rather more activity. Eastern of France have improved ss. ; East Indian, 10s. ; and Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada, ss. to 10s. Joint-Stock Bank Shares show little variation from previous values. In the Miscellaneous Market the dealings have been unimportant. Australian Agricultural are 341; Red Sea Telegraph, 21 ; and South Australian Land, 38. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Consols Annuities New 21 per Cent.

ELEPHANT •STEEPLE-CHASE.—The Illustrated London News publishes a sketch of an elephant steeple chase at Rangoon, with which it has been favoured by an officer who is also a good sportsman. The following was the " card" :-- "ELEPHANT STEEPLE-CHASE (Catch Weights).—A sweepstake of ir., H.M. 68th steeple-chafe course, open to all elephants, steered by mahouts, and ridden by officers, the winning mahout to receive srs. from the stakes, and the rider the balance, a a 'piece of plate' from the staff The decision of the stewards to be final. The elephants to be mounted opposite the Grand Stand. Those mounting will draw lots for elephants on the course. The following was the result : _ ___ _ . Captain Vanghan's Soorul Jumul Mr. Marshall's Delhi Bully Major West's Tearing Villain 3 Mr. Harrison's Shuffling Jinn) , Mr. Saunderson's Ghurreeb Purwar Mr. Stuart's Slashing Tom Captain Light's Daisy Clipper 7 Captain White's Lall Singh 8 Mr. Blair's Pandey 9 Major Morant's Blowhard lO Captain Ewart's Grainbags ll Lieutenant Kay's Smiler l2 Lieutenant Foord's Ponderous Polly l3 "Captain E. A. B. TRAVERS ' Secretary " The third leap was a ditch, three feet and a half deep by eleven broad. Grainbags, who was heavily backed, was the first in and out again • " and not one that I observed," writes the officer, " cleared it. They all went at it like— elephants I and the riders, I do declaie, evinced rare powers of sticking. They were in jockey costumes, but rede with a staff and flag instead of a whip." AQUATICS. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £2O. A scullers' race, for £lO a side, came off yester day afternoon, over the metropolitan rowing course from Putney to Mortlake. The competitors were John Kilsby and David Hemmings, both watermen of Bankside, and a large number of friends came together to witness the match, Kilsby being the favourite among them ; but they were doomed to disappointment, the race not being a very good one They got off together, shortly after which Kilsby went ahead, and gradually increased his lead all the way, winning easily.

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 ho 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 Ll 17s. 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 lIVTELLIGENCE,(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, ".ellurch-serviee," and a piece of bacon. From the evidence of police-constable 152 F, it appeared that he was ou . 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 —" Ghurch Services"—bound in blue velvet, lying at her feet, and suspecting, she. bad 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 ? 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. FLTRIOITS 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. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AT FAULT.—Mrs. Evans, of No. 19, Cross-street, St. George-in-the-East, the wife of a seaman, and daughter of M. 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 htisl3and 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 oui 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 out. 4 Mrs. Evans was surprised that the East India Company had not acknowledged the document, 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 had 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 to-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 DA FS 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 bers 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 ander potatoes is this year 1,160,056 against I I 1,146,647 last year. This progress is, as we h ave 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 arc 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 article. 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 udder that of 1855, barley especially, which in that year was cul tivated on 226,629 acres. The decrease is most con spicims the pros ince 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 f or believing that if the 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 .iiumber of horses has 'risen front 099,782 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 th • 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 the better 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. TIIE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT CAMBERWELL.— Last night, Mr. Wm. Cartter, the coroner for the eastern divisien 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.—During 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 E MIGRAT lON .—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 Emi 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. SPURGEON'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-hall that he had already signed an agreement for a freehold site of ground opposite the Elephant and Castle, Southwark, for the purpose of erecting a spacious edifice iu 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 representatives 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, w ith the numerous liberal promises of donations, will yield a good amount, still the congregation was urged to continue in its efforts to effect so desirable an object. Mr. Spurgeon was very earnest in his appeol, 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 Haddington ? " Yes, 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." , 4 ‘ That is just my opinion," replied the doctor.; "but what,„sir, is the use of you and me setting up our opinions in opposition to the whole parish ?" Tho brothers smiled, and their friendship was sealed for ever.—Chester field Courier. THE PEER AND THE TOLLGATE-KEEPER.—At the Shipston-on•Stour Petty Sessions, on Saturday, before Mr. Wm. DickMs,,Mr. F. Colville, and the Rev. William Evans, Nathaniel French, toll collector at the Furze-hill gate, in this parish, was summoned by the Right Hon. Lord Redesdale for an overcharge of toll. From his lordship's statement it would appear that, on the 21st of August last, his lordship was riding towards Shipston, 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 have 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 noble peer stated, to prevent if possible the practice of such imposition upon the public. After a long and attentive hearing, the case was dismissed. His lordship then asked the defendant for the 5(1. 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 sixrenee ; rr! 11,1(.F,-;.- 11 4 s bead en cn3 side, es if attentively said, Did your lordship wish me to drink your health with the change ?" No reply being given, the de fendant pocketed the coin, and left the court evidently satis fied with the decision that a toll-collector was not com pelled to give change.—Birmingham Journal. BAKER'S PROMENADE TUNNEL.—There is ex hibiting, at M'Clean's-buildings, Shoe-lane, a model of a 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 should be devoted to the public as a promenade, or a con tinuous 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 before the public before he was prepared with sufficient minutiae of detail to satisfy the most fastidious engineer of the practica bility and amplicity of hig , golnalor-blettinYixt.per, BANK RETURNS.
