CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the last few days there has been less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars, except in a few instances, have slightly declined in' value, while the demand in the refined market has been very inactive, and prices have shown a decidedly downward tendency. At the public sales of tea a de cline of ld. to 2d. per lb. has taken place. Rice has been moderately dealt i n , but at easier rates. The dealings in fruit have been on a rather extensive scale, owing to the large arrivals of the new crop ; holders having shown an anxious desire to realise prices have exhibited a downward movement. Saltpetre has been exceed ingly dull, and at public sale the greater portion of the quantity offered was bought in. The tallow market has shown more activity, and quotations are a shade firmer for both present and forward delivery. P.Y.C., on the spot, 525. 6d., and Spring delivery 535. to 535. 3d. per cwt. Increased activity prevailed in the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were without any important change. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. A large business was recorded in the Railway Share Market, and quotations exhi bited a further improvement. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The demand for money continues steady, and as the supplies are very plentiful, the rates remain in an easy position, while the minimum is maintained at 4 per cent. ; however, capitalists, who are nego tiating business as low as 31 per cent., are not in clined to make a further reduction in their terms, especially as there is some probability of a slight increase in the enquiry consequent - upon prepara tionEl for the end of the quarter. rile Market for Public Securities opened flatly, at tbLe reduced quotations current on the previous after noon, but buyers have since come forward, WhnfJe operations, coupled with the receipt of rather high er prices from the Paris Bourse, have caused a slight improvement. Consols have been 931 1 for 'money, and 931 a for account ; they are now 93 1 1- and 93/ 1 respectively. India Stock has re ceded to 2161 ; ditto New Loan is steady at 1031 4 ; ditto. Bonds are at 6s. dis., and Exchequer Bills renljlin at ls. to 4s. prem. Zia Foreign Securities a moderate amount of business is recorded, and prices are tolerably well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 741 ; dit'zo New, 571 to 58 ; and the 4 per Cents. have itn proved to 1011, Russian 5 per Cents. to 104, Buenos Ayres to 96, and Spanish to 481, but the Certificates are rather flatter, viz., 61 t, and Peru- lien 3 per Cents. at 741, and Mexican remain at 211 22.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGES' CHAMBERS. (Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) THE QUEEN v. THE REV. LEWIS PRICE-THE AGAPEMONE. This was a return to the writ of habeas corpus issued by hie lordship directing the Rev. Lewis Price to produce before his lordship Mrs. Harriet Price, and to show by what authority he detained her and prevented her return ing to the Abode of Love—the Agapemone. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Price, read a long affidavit detailing the whole of the proceedings that he had lately taken to obtain the liberation of his wife from the Abode of Love. The affidavit stated that he had succeeded eventually to obtain possession of his wife with out the use of forcible means. He had, in consequence of certain information, met his wife, and requested her to re turn to his home, which she did ; and such request could not be construed into an act of force. Mr. Price also stated his belief to be that the present proceeding had not been instituted by his wife, but by Mrs. Starkey—one of the Agapemonites who happened to be with Mrs. Price when her husband met her. His Lordship, after hearing the other side, said the lady must be given up to her husband, as, according to cases that had already been decided, hb was the proper person with whom she was to remain until the Ecclesiastical Court interfered. Mr. Tindal Atkinson asked for the costs of the present proceedings, as Mr. Price had been compelled to incur considerable expenses in making the return. His Lordship thought each party ought to pay their own expenses. CEYTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. BURGLARY. James Feltham, and Edward Stokes were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Mr. Moncks, a jeweller, residing at Brixton-bill. Mr. Best conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley de fended the prisoners, Mr. Moncks said on the 24th of August last I was sleep. ing at my shop, which I had previously secured. The stock of jewellery was quite cafe. About a quarter before one I was awoke by hearing a crashing noise at the shutters. I ran to the door and found the small crowbar (produced) sticking between the bar and the shutter, which had been forced aside. The window glass was broken, and a large quantity of my stock, which consisted of watches, chains, &c., was lying on the pavement in front of the window. I gave an alarm, and within an hour after a policeman came to me at a spot op posite to Summers'-road, where I found two gold watches, a silver watch, and a number of gold chains. The parcel was within some pailings near a footpath. Holsey, the constable, found some more things. They all formed a portion of my stock. The price tickets also found were those that were on the articles the day before the robbery. John Brazier—l am a watchman to the waterworks, Brixton-hill. I was on duty on the evening of the rob bery, and about a quarter before one I heard a rattle sprung. I went up the hill and saw Mr. Monks, who told me hits shop had been entered and robbed. I went back to my box, and about a quarter of an hour after I saw the two prisoners coming up the road, and, suspecting them to be the parties, I took hold of one, and told the policeman to ' take them into custody. I afterwards showed the spot where I took the prisoners into custody, and some of the stolen property WV found there by one of the policemen. I was with Mr. Moncks when he found the watches. No other person but the prisoners had been up the road between the taking the men into custody and the discovery of the stolen property. Mr. Lilley (for the defence)—Are you sure it was a quar ter to one when you heard the rattle sprung. Witness—Yes. Mr. Lilley—Had you a watch ? Witness—No ; I'm a watchman. I'm not a watch. (Laughter.) . Mr. Lilley—So I believe Mr. Moncks is a watchman, too ? Witness—Well, he makes 'em. (Loud laughter.) Police-constable Golding said—Just before two I saw the two prisoners standing by the front fence of No. 5, Brixton hill. They both had their backs to the fence. There were no other person near. The last witness came to me and informed me of the robbery, and as I was crossing over the road towards them they walked rapidly away. I went after them and told them I must take them into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary. They denied it, and told me they had been visiting a friend at Croydon and were then returning home. I said their answer did not satisfy me and I took them to the station and charged them. The very place where the five watches were found was that at which I first saw the prisoners. I went to the address given by the pri soners, but could find out nothing about them. I searched Feltham and found ss. on his person ; on the other prisoner I found a key, one of the wards of which had been broken out and filed. Police-constable Halsey confirmed the evidence of the last witness. He also said ho found out the spot where the watches were and a life preserver, and about thirty yards up Brixton-hill he found some watches and gold guards tied up in a handkerchief. Police-constable Wilde proved that he had seen the pri- soners in the neighbourhood of Mr. Monck'a shop at twenty minutes to twelve. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Lilley then addressed the jury for the defence. The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were each sentenced to three years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBER - T.—Ann Devine, a servant at 32, Oxendon street, was charged with stealing a watch, chain, dm., the property of a fellow-servant named Caroline Kear. The prosecutrix had been out on an errand for her master, leaving the prisoner in the kitchen, in which was a box containing the articles above mentioned and £36 in a purse. The next morning, on prosecutrix going to her box, she was much surprised to find that it had been broken open, and while she was searching for her watch and money prisoner took the opportunity to leave the house, not stopping to put on her bonnet or shawl. The prisoner had made her way to the White Bear, 100, Berwick-street, where she requested Mr. Hodges, the landlord, to take care of the watch and chain and a sovereign for her; but Mr. Hodges, being suspicious that things were not all right, took the articles to the Marlborough-mews station, and on her return about half an hour after for the things she was taken into custody by Sergeant Enoch Cook, 7 C. She denied to the sergeant ever living in Oxendon-street, and said she knew nothing of the watch, &c. On searching her he found a brooch on her, which the prosecutrix iden fied. Sergeants Foster and Butcher said the prisoner had been before convicted of felony. Remanded. THAMES. BENT ON SUICIDE.—Emma Sargison, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempt ing to commit self-destruction. The wretched prisoner, though young, presented the appearance of an old woman, haggard, careworn, and bloated, but not more than three years ago she was an _in teresting and beautiful-looking girl. Drink, dissipation, and disease, has effected the sad change in her, and if she is not kept in prison or a lunatic asylum, she will un doubtedly meet her death by violent means. She has made repeated attempts on her life while labouring under intoxi cation, and has thrown herself into the river, the Regent's Canal, and other waters, and also hung herself, and at tempted strangulation in the police cells, and cells of the court, while under remand. She has given an immense deal of trouble to the police, and they have been under the necessity of closely watching her on the many occasions she has been in custody to prevent her committing suicide. William Gisling, a police-constable, said that he fouxd the prisoner last night in a shed in Poplar. She was very drunk, and covered over with wet sacks. She said she had thrown herself from the window of a room three storeys high. He procured a stretcher, to which she was strapped and convoyed to the station-house. George Pullen, 161 K, said it was quite true that on Tuesday last the prisoner either fell or threw herself from the window of a house three storeys high. Her fall was broken by a shed. She rolled over it, and was fearfully bruised. She was taken to an hospital, and her wounds and bruises were dressed. Next day she came home. Yesterday she became helplessly drunk, and was carried into a shed and covered with sacks. During the night he visited her in the cell ; She was nearly strangled. A cord was round her neck, fastened tightly, and the other end of it made fast to a bench. She was quite black in the face, and ho had some difficulty in recovering her. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had given him a good deal of trouble. Ile was obliged to watch her closely whenever she was in his custody. The prisoner, who was labouring under delirium tremens) made no defence. She was in a low dejected state. Mr. Selfe said the case was a fearful one. He really thought the prisoner ought to be treated as a lunatic, and kept under restraint for the remainder of her life. The prisoner was an incorrigible and disorderly prostitute and drunkard, a perfect nuisance to society. Bad as she was he would save her if he could. He would keep her in prison for 6 months, and the only way to do so was to order her to find one surety in the sum of £2O to be of good behaviour and keep the peace for the next 6 months. No one would be bail, and she would be detained, in default of finding bail, for six months in the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, where she would receive spiritual instruction from the excellent chaplain of the prison.

BRADFORD, THIIRSDAY.—The temporary unset tlement in the weather during the week, and the considerable supplies of wool obtained by spinners last week, operate together to produce comparative tameness to-day, though there is a very steady busi ness doing, without any change in price, if not with a tendency upward in some quarters. There is con siderable animation in the worsted yarn depart ment. Spinners are generally very well employed for export. Russia and Germany are both re quiring large supplies just now. The orders given out for the former market will be re quired by the middle of the next month, and for the latter almost immediately, for the Leipsic fair. The briskness necessarily creates firmness in the currency. There is rather more animation in the piece trade, although it is far from being what is usual at this season of the year. There is no change in prices. They are quite as low as they were last week. NOTTINGHAM, Thursday.—There is no improve ment in the lace trade. The only articles at all in request are plain nets, mechlins, foundation nets, and a few choice patterns of broad laces, both in Maltese and imitation pusher fabrics. The strike in the hosiery trade, which was beginning to assume a most serious aspect is now happily at an end. A conference of manufacturers and operatives was held on Monday, under the presidentship of one of the latter body, when it was clearly shown by the manufacturers that at the present prices it was impossible for them to compete successfully with the German manufac turers, and on Wednesday a resolution was signed by the delegates of both bodies, declaring the strike at an end, and appointing a board of arbitrators, consisting of six manufacturers and six workmen, whose decisions in all questions of wages is to be final and binding on both parties. The men have consequently returned to their work at the prices paid before the recent advance was obtained. It would be well if some similar arrangement could be made in the lace trade. The lockout in the mechlin department still continues. Betting-3 to lon Mixture, sto 1 agst Biddy NuttB. Mixture, followed by Vouralak, Emblematic, and Biddy Nutts made the running to the Stand, where Emblematic caught the favourite and won on the post by a head ; three lengths between the second and third, and a bad fourth.

CORN EXCHANGE. We were again very moderately supplied with English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, and the general quality of the samples was very inferior. Selected parcels were in request, at Monday's currency, but other descriptions were a dull inquiry at that day's decline in value. The demand for all kinds of foreign wheat was firm, but the business done was by no means extensive, at quite previous rates. Floating cargoes were held at full cur rencies. There was a steady inquiry for barley at fully late rates. We have to report a dull inquiry for malt at about previous quotations. Oats, the supply of which was limited, were firm, and fine samples realised more money. Beans and peas were arm in price, but the demand for sour was less active, owing to heavy importations from abroad. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats.

M'MAHON's SWORD. —Imagine a French deputa tion to come over to England for the purpose of presenting a beautifully bound copy of the Chancery Reports to the present Master of the Rolls, on the ground that he is a de scendant of a refugee family who escaped from the tyranny of Louis XIV. after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and on the flyleaf let the inscription be s een —" O ppressed France to the keen-witted judge the Right lion. Sir John Romilly, Kut., Master of the Rolls, the descendant of for mer French fugitives from former French tyrants." Only let the experiment be tried, and let the deputation set their feet again for five minutes on French soil, and we should speedily see on which side of the narrow seas Liberty lied fixed her abiding place.—Onee a Week. CRYSTAL PAiACE. — The finest and largest show of fruit ever exhibited at the Palace is now on view, and the whole building is filled with the delicious fragrance. The pineapples, grapes, and other fruit are particularly fine, one single bunch of grapes weighing 81b 14oz. The show of dahlias, asters, and gladiolus is also exceedingly good. The exhibition closes this day. A GUNBOAT VOYAGE TO CiIINA. officer The ifollowingn daorfe onee x torfa her c ts o a i e l s V , e s r g f u r n o m: 3oa a t n s in the present expedition, dated Ta-lien-whan Bay, July 6:—" . • . All the ships are up here now and everything ready. I should like very well to go home a commander at last after this affair is over, and get a better ship, for a gunboat is not a com fortable command at all, and the Admiral expects a good deal from them. You see, when they were built they were intended for gunboats only, "to be conveyed and supplied by larger vessels ; but our Admiral makes them quite independent com mands, which is better than their being tenders to larger ships ; yet they have not sufficient room for stowage as independent commands. However, I shall stick to her till I am promoted, which I hope will not be long first. Now I come to look back to our voyage out, it seems to me only wonderful that the gun boats—both these and the others that came out for merly—all arrived safe, for a very little would have sent them to the bottom, and at once, not like a large ship that takes a long time to fill. In a heavy gale the danger is that the sea, having once got the upper hand, by the boat broaching to or not being able to lay to, might turn her right over bottom , up in a moment; and from what 1 saw myself dur ing a westerly gale we had for three days between the Cape and St. Paul's, 40 S., I should not like to bring another gunboat out.. Not that I should be afraid ; but when you have 39 people under your command, who look to you for the safety of them selves and for you to give the necessary orders, it makes one feel very anxious In the gale I was up day and night, and, indeed, during the whole passage out I had not many nights between the blankets, as I found it better to turn in on the top of my bed with my clothes on, ready for a junay on deck in case of anything. One night I had gone below at 12, it being my custom to re main on deck till that hour, but about 2 a.m. I heard the officer in charge shortening sail, though apparently there was not too much wind ; but a moment afterwards I turned out, for, hearing him give his orders in a quick and anxious manner, I supposed something was not quite right. I was instantly on deck, and found the boat struck with a heavy squall—very fortunate it came up astern. She was being pressed into the sea forwards, so that the water was pouring over her bows, and she going through the waves at a tremendous pace. The hands were on deck in a moment, but it was difficult to shorten sail on ac count of the volume of wind; so when I saw what was the matter I put her dead before the wind, which by daylight was blowing a gale, and got all snug. At first, when I got on deck, I had such a sea right over me that I was myself nearly washed overboard. . . . Well, this was our first gale. . . . Our second was from the west, and as we were going east it helped us along. But it was an anxious time —very different when I was a lieutenant, keeping watch on other ships. I used then to go and turn in and forget all about the ships and her danger, if she was in any, as I had then given up charge of the deck to another. But here there is no giving up charge, unless I were sick and went on to the list ; but , Who would do that as long as he could move about ?" THUM EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'elook.

General Post Office, Sept., 1860. THE 4TH MIDDLESEX RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. — On Thursday a grand instrumental concert was given by the band of the above corps, at the Middleton Hall, Isling ton, to an audience which comprised many of the most in fluential inhabitants of the district, and several members of the local rifle volunteers. Considerable celebrity having already been achieved by this splendid band, which, unlike any other connected with the volunteer force, is composed of 40 of the most talented performers in London, there were also present many well known musical professorrs and amateurs, all of whom were very desirous and curi ous to hear a band formed, as this is, of the elite of the Instrumentalists of the metropolis. The concert must be pronounced a complete success. The Overtiur, Operatic Selections, &c., were rendered with a precision and an effect that afforded evidence of the-Band being one of extraordinary excellence. In the overture "Guillaume Tell," the obligate parts of Oboe, Flute, and Bassoon were played in the most artistic style by Messrs. Crozier, Berry, and Snelling, who were equally successful in their respec tive solo• in the subsequent pieces of the Programme. Other features of the Concert aro deserving of special notice. Mr. Levy, whose reputation as a great sol o i s t upon the Cornet-a-Piston is no w established, performed two pieces with admirable effect, which were encored. A Fantasia on Swiss airs, by Bender, displayed the capabilities of the soloists of the Band to the best advantage; the elaborate and difficult variations in this composition were faultlessly executed. At the conclu sion of the concert the applause amounted almost to an ova tion, and it must have been exceedingly gratifying to the able conductor, Mr. E. Hanson, and to all the members of the band, to find their admirable performance so thoroughly appreciated. This magnificent band, we understand, has been organised under the auspices of Lord Truro, the corn mandant of . the 4th Middlesex Rifles, whose principal and earnest wish in connexion with it is stated to be, that of affording to the members of the corp s un d er his command, an d the inhabitants of Islington, opportunities of hearing the music of the best composers performed by a band not inferior to the best continental band of the day, BREVET.
