CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 13th inst., show some rather important alterations. In the bullion there is a small diminution, owing to the disbursement of coin usual at the period when the dividends are paid to the public. The public deposits, from the same cause, have been lessened about four millions, and a considerable addition has been made to the private balances. The other securities show a large de crease, caused by the repayment of loans during the shutting of the transfer books. In the reserve of notes there is also an extensive falling off, as the active circulation has been augmented by about a quarter of a million sterling. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is no alteration to call for special remark ; they will be seen in the subjoined table:— Active Circulation .. Increase .. Bullion .. Decrease ..

The f ore i gn exchanges yesterday afternoon pre sented a further improvement in the rates on V ienna and Trieste ; the quotation for Amsterdam, however, was rather lower. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no balllion operations of importance. The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lo mbard -street and at the Bank of England con tinues limited, and the rates in the open market are within a fraction of 2 per cent. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a fair amount of business was transacted, 10,000 bales having been disposed of at full rates. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £1,026,386, and the exports £49,950, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last : Gold coin .. .

Silvg bars ), Belgium There has been very little fluctuation in the Market for public securities to-day, but busi ness, as usual, at the close of the week has been very dull. Consols have 951 t, and 9511, at which they are now quoted. Speculation is quieter, and the money business is too limited to cause much animation. The Foreign Stock and Share Markets have also been rather heavy. The New Three per Cents, are steady at 95t 96 ; the Reduced are flat at 951 -Z-; the New 2 9per Cents, are marked 791; India Loan Deben tures are firm at 951, and Exchequer Bills, at 275. to 30s. premium.

We were not mistaken in stating, en 25th June, that we anticipated an early rise in the stan dard for copper ore, and both the standard and the price of metallic copper have advanced this - week ; and the rise in tin is equal to about £l3 per ton. Money is cheaper, and 'eery abundant, and the bank has reduced its rate of dis count to 21 per cent.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices JUDGMENT-APPEAL -WILSON V. KEATING. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was resumed this morning. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., was heard for the appellant This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls decreeing specific performance of an agreement to take 525 shares in the Newcastle Bank at £5 per share. It appears there were two agreements to take shares to double that extent, one payable in 1855, and another in 1856. The appellant repudiated the agreements on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation, and that the decree com plained of was not asked by the plaintiff's bill. Mr. Stevens followed on the same side. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that the decree of the Master of the Rolls should be affirmed. His lordship considered that the appellant was perfectly cognisant of the original agreement of sth October, 1856, and that h• knew perfectly well what the arrangement was that Sadleir entered into for the transference of these shares to him, and that money was not paid, and he undertook to pay them. It appeared to his lordship that the defence set up, that he held the transference of these merely as a trustee for Sadleir, entirely failed. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner concurred. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decree of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs. IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK (EX PARTE MIXEN).- APPEAL MOTION. This is an appeal motion by the official manager, on two summonses, calling on the defendants to show cause why they should not be put on the list of shareholders on the first, second, and third issues of the Bank for £lOO,OOO, £200,000, and £300,000 shares, and pay accordingly. The winding-up is before Vine -Chancellor Sir Richard Kindersley and his chief clerk. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., has been heard for the official manager. Mr. Field followed on the same side. The arguments are proceeding. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, -(IRIS DAY. M ARLBOROUGH -STREET. FLAGRANT CASE Or CRITELTY.—PROPER PUNISH MENT.--Mr. William Love, the chief constable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended to prefer a charge of gross cruelty against William Henry Millar, driver and owner of the cab, 536, residing in Queens-road, Notting-hill. Mr. Love stated that on morning of the Bth inst., whilst in Oxford-street, the defendant passed him driving a mare and cab, and he observed that the animal was in a very miserable condition, and could scarcely draw the cab. He removed the harness and found several suppurating wounds upon its back, sides, and shoulders, all of which the har ness was pressing into, the animal's flanks presenting a shocking appearance, being covered with large wheals, its teats being completely raw, the flesh having been literally jagged out with the whip, and clotted blood adhering to the wounds; the punishment having evidently been in flicted with a short handled thick thonged whip, having what is termed a " blood knot" on the end of the thong, and as he had another whip he (Mr. Love) had no doubt it was used for the purpose of inflicting the torture. The case was one of the worst he had ever under his notice. The defendant admitted the flanks of the horse were in a bad condition, but said he had worked the mare but little since it was complained of by Mr. Love. Mr. Beadon indignantly denounced the defendant's con duct as being cruel and monstrous, observing that it was a flagrant case, and fined the defendant £3 and costs, or one month's hard labour in the House of Correction. The defendant was locked up in default, THAMES. SUICIDE OF JOHN BARDOE, THE LIBERATED SLAVE.— This morning was appointed for the re •examination of Oude Ajur, the liberated African slave, better known as John Bardoe, for wounding four Asiatic seamen in the Strangers' Home, West India-road, Limehouse, to which place he was removed after his trial, and acquitted on a charge of assault ing and wounding a city police-constable named Oliver on the roof of a house in the Minories. The witnesses, interpreters, and others were in attendance on the magistrate. The Court was filled - with persons anxious to hear the proceedings. At 12 o'clock the police van arrived with the prisoners under remand, but without Bardoe, and soon afterwards Sergeant Walker, who has charge of the van, announced that the un fortunate creature had put an end to his oxistence by hanging himself in his cell in the Clerkenwell House of Detention. This morring, at two o'clock, the night watch man in the prison while going his rounds called to the prisoner, and he answered him. Two hours afterwards the same watchman again called to him, and no answer being returned he opened the door of the cell and found the un fortunate man quite dead. The manner in which the deceased hung himself did not transpire, but it is believod he strangled himself with his handkerchief. There is no doubt that his misfortunes, his fear of being sent into slavery again, and the severe wounds he received in the terrible conflict with the city police constable, preyed upon his mind and caused him to commit suicide. At half-vest 12 o'clock Lieut.-Colonel R. Marsh Hughes, the Secretary of the Sailors' Home, addressed the magis rate, and said the black man, Bardoe, was dead. He had ommitted suicide. Mr. Yardley—Has he indeed. When did that occur? Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes—This morning, sir, he tore his sheet to pieces and hung himself. G Sergeant Mather, of th e police van, here said that the of the Clerkenw e ll H ouse of Detention informed him the poor fellow had strangled himself at an early hour this morning. Mr. Yardley said this - was a most lamentable end to a most lamentable affair. No one i n th is country was to bl ame but th e p erson w h o brought the deceased, and made a slave of him, an d w h o intended to treat him as a slave again, was ver y muc h to blame. Lieutenant-Col onel Hughes—lt was a most disgraceful transaction on th e part of the foreigners. Can there be any objection to my see i ng the body of the deceased ? I under stand there are some very remarkable marks on his person which I am most anxious to see. Mr. Yardley said that, from the kind manner in which Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes behaved to the deceased, and the great interest he had taken, and the humanity he had evinced towards all destitute and friendless men of colour who arrived in this country, there was no doubt his wishes would be consulted by the authorities. He could see no objection whatever to Lieut.-Colonel Hughes seeing the body. The case, however, was out of his hands. The man was dead, and the coroner and a jury would hold an inquiry. He inquired how the wounded men were pro gressing. Mr. Corner, a respectable surgeon, of Poplar, said he had been in attendance on the wounded men daily, and they were all doing well. Two were nearly recovered. The other two were invalids at the time they were wounded, and their recovery would, consequently, be slower. Lieut.-Colonel Hughes—ls there any occasion for the wounded men to attend here ? Mr. Yardley—None at all. As far as lam concerned there is an end of the matter. THIS DAY'S sHlppnva.

It appeared from the evi dence that there had been a quarrel bet ween M 'lntyre and Maxwell, and that Maxwell in the first instance had been the aggressor, and had knocked the prisoner once or twice down on the deck. Wlntyre, in order to escape the violence of the deceased, ran below ; the deceased followed ; and it was orris Maxwell was endeavouring still further to punish the poner that the latter drew a knife and stabbed the de ceased three times in the breast. He died almost imme diately. For the defence it was argued that the prisoner only used the knife in self. defence ; and as for the charge of murder, it could not be sustained. Th e prisoner was com mitted n a charge of manslaught er, and the magistrate ob served that, though it was his duty to send the case for trial, it was very doubtful whether a jury would convict the prisoner *i the evidence adduced.

The three battalions of the Grenadier Guards had a field-day yesterday morning in Hyde-park. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Gene ral Commanding-in-Chief, inspected the regiment.' The Duke was accompanied by the Adjutant-Gene ral, Sir G. A. Wetherall, Major-General Sir It. Airey, and a large staff.. Major-General Lord Rokeby, K.C.8., as Major-General Commanding the Brigade of Guards, commanded. Col. Lewis, and the three colonels commanding the battalions, Col. Hamilton, Col. Lambert, and Col. the-Hon. J. Lindsay, were also on duty with the regiment. The regiment was put through the ne'w field evo lutions. At the conclusion his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief expressed his entire approbation of the efficiency of the regiment. The following circular, for the guidance of chap lains of the army, has been issued from the War office : " Misapprehension having occurred on the part of some commissioned chaplains, as well as officiating clergymen to the troops, in regard to the nature and extent of the duties which are expected to be performed by them in considera tion of the remuneration which they re eive from the Government, the Secretary of State for War wishes it to be distinctly understood that this remuneration is not given as seat rent for Sunday services only, but as an equivalent for the ordinary ministerial duties, which include baptisms, churchings, and funerals. Commissioned chaplains and officiating clergymen are, therefore, not to exact fees for the performance of any of these duties. "B. HAWES." THE FIRE KING. At the Westminster Police Court yesterday Christo Buonocore, the " Fire King", at Cremorne Gardens, was re-examined on the charge of attempt ing to poison Franc's Fillipone, described as the Emperor of Fire." M. G. Guonni was engaged as interpreter, both prosecutor and prisoner being Italians, unable to speak English. Mr. Wontner defended the pri soner. The prosecutor stated that he and the prisoner had been for some time acquainted, and an arrangement had been entered into between them to perform in public. On Wednesday week prosecutor called at ' prisoner's house and had some strawberries and rum. Prisoner appeared anxious to get prosecutor out of the room on an errand, and subsequently induced him to go for some more fruit. On his return he partook slightly of more of the strawberries and . rum, which he thought looked much altered in their colour. He afterwards went upon the water, when he was attacked with great pain at his heart and sickness, while his head felt as though it was being struck with hammers. He suspected that the strawberries and rum had been drugged, and, returning to prisoner's lodgings, found that what had been left of the mixture had been thrown into a vessel as unfit for use. On the following Sunday Darbani Rabini, another Italian, connected with the Marionette Theatre, told prosecutor that pri soner purposed his death, and showed him four bottles of poison which the accused had given him (witness) to accomplish it with. In cross-examination prosecutor deified that he was prisoner's servant, but alleged that he was his partner; in confirmation of which he produced an agreement between them, which left it to be in ferred that prosecutor was being initiated by pri soner into the mysteries of " fire-proofing,' and was to allow a certain sum out of his professional engagements. Dabarde Rabini said he received the four bottles produced from prisoner 17 or 18 days ago to take care of. On Wednesday week he asked him for one of them, and restored it the nest day. On the following Saturday evening prisoner came to wit ness, and complained that somebody had sent a letter about him to the French Government, through which he had been forbidden to enter France, and that prosecutor had much calumniated him. le added that there were some people better taken away from the face of the earth; said that he alluded to prosecutor, and then g avehim be d e i r r o e r c f t o m o n d. s to use the bottles, by putting poison in his Prisoner concluded his instructions, by telling him that when he had " executed that commission" he twoooukldthterusbtttohilmes withand another offoote secret.idtoconsent, i n order that he might save the prosecutor's ' life. He gave them to Mr. Simpson, th e oa pr l o l p ed rie t t h o o r attoefotioCoreomfotrhne police e, who e to the circum stance. On Monday week prisoner said, " This thing must be accomplished this wee k ; this man must be ended this week. Mr. F. Godrich, of Sydney-place, n —nsiew-sq uare proved that he had examined the contents of the four bottles, and found th ree of them contained prussic acid, and the fourth strychnine The prussic acid in one of the bottles was thirty times r whether the prussic ac id out of the as strong as that ordinarily so ld . M o A n r e n o o f the bottles ldi inquired which had been p ar ti a ll y used, and which was o f indifferent strength, given in so small a quantity as not to cause death, would create feelings of sickness, stupor, and pains in the heart and head. Witness said it would. Mr. Wontner urged that prisoner had imparted the Italianater part of his secrets to pros ecu t or an d th e witness, who were concocting the charge to get rid of him, and an arrangement to pay part of his earnings to his teacher. Mr. Arno ldTuesday, and remanded the accused till and refused to take bail. : THE NA TAY. The screw steamship Revenge, 91, was towed on Wednesday from Keyham basin to the Devonport dockyard, to expedite her fitting. The gunboat Forward, Lieut. Robertson, was masted at. Devonport on Wednesday, partly rigged, and warped to the hulk Argo. The screw steam transport Himalaya, Commander Seccombe, left Plymouth on Wednesday evening for Portsmouth. The screw steam frigate Liffey, 50, Capt. Preedy, was towed out of Plymouth S and on Thursday, by the steam tug Confianee, and sailed for the Medi terranean. The screw steam frigate Topaze, 51, Capt. the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, saluted the flag of the Port Admiral, on Thursday afternoon, as she passed down Hamoaze into the Sound. She made an ex perimental trip outside the breakwater in the even ing, to try her engines. The sailing ship Vanguard, 84, was towed on Thursday by the steam tugs Zephyr and Confiance from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound, where the paddle-wheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Commander M. B. Dunn, took her in tow for Sheerness. The Vanguard is in charge of Mr. Paul, Assistant- Master attendant at Devonport. She is to be lengthened and converted into a screw. The Rhadamanthus steam storeship sailed at 5 a.m. yesterday, from Portsmouth for Woolwich, calling at Sheerness with supernumeraries. The Hornet, 17, screw, has been towed from alongside the Sheer jetty at Portsmouth, to a berth in the harbour, preparatory to being placed in the steam basin for docking and repairs. The Dauntless, 32, screw, Capt. Edmonstone, will move out of the steam basin to-day, and after testing her machinery outside Portsmouth Harbour, berth alongside her hulk to complete her outfit. The Neptune, 91, screw, Capt. Sir W. H os t e , Bart., will mak e h er secon d trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, on Monday. At the conclusion of the trial she will bring up at Spithead, where she will take in the remainder of her guns, stores, provisions, &c. The Beagle, 6, despatch , vessel, will get her steam up in the steam basin at Portsmouth this morning, to test machinery, &c. A court-martial was held yesterday on board her Majesty s ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr. Goodyer, late paymaster of her Majesty s ship Hornet, on charges of neglect of duty in not furnishing proper returns of the ship's accounts to the Admiralty, &c. Th e C ourt, compr i s i ng . Capt. Gcorge T. Gordon, commanding steam reserve, president; Capt&ns A. Farquhar, Wilson, How• lett, C.B. , Edmonstone, Mugu re , an d C rawford, with Mr. lellyer, Deputy Judge AdvocE te, having heard the evidence adduced on behalf of the prose cution, and also what the prisoner had to say in his defence, declared all the charges proved, and sen tenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's service, and further declared him ineligible for entry at any future peri )d. A court-martial assembled on board the Impreg nable, at Plymouth, on Wednesday, to try William Stephenson, able seaman of the Hogue, for muti nous conduct towards the boatswain of the Cmsar. The , prisoner pleaded guilty, and was s•-ntenced to receive fifty lashes and be imprisoned for two years. While the corporal punishment was 1-eing inflicted on board the Caesar, in Keyham-dock, on Thursda morning at seven o'clock, several artisans and labnurers then entering were attracted alongside by the cries of the prisoner, and expressed dis approbation by hisses and groans, in which they were joined by the Turkish sailors assembled on the deck of their own ship, which lies near. On this the Marines of the Caesar were sent on shore, and were drawn up in a line to disperse the people, when Burney, act ing leading man of shipwrights, and an apprentice was seized and reported. Burney is suspended until the return of the Admiral Superintendent, Sir Thos. Pasley. He had charge of the hired men on the Shadia, and alleges that he ordered them on board, but they would not go. Mr. Charles C. Ick was yesterday appointed pay. master to the Cyclops. RAILWAY IN TELLIGENI.v.E. . , GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD. Yesterday the ceremony. of opening this com pany's-docks and railway was performed with great rejoicing at Brentford. Special steamers frquk Win_ don and Westminster bridges, decorated with flags, and conveying. the friends of the undertaking, opened-the new docks at about 20 minutes to four. About the same time special trains started from the Southall' station of the Great Western Rail way to Brentford, conveying the directors and their friends. The event was celebrated at the Town hall, BrenTford, by an excellent dinner, at which Mr. I )avey, the deputy chairman, presided. Various loyal and otl er touts. were given and responded to, and the whole of the proceedings were conducted in a satisfactory manner. It is fully expected that this short branch of 4f , miles in length, from the Southall station of the -. Great Western Railway to the docks at Brentford, will be of great advantage to both companies. Hitherto all the heavy traffic upon the Great Wes tern Railway destined, for the port of London has left the main line at Bull's -bridge, whence it has been taken down the Grand Junction Canal to Brentford. For a long time past the means of transit thus afforded have proved quite inadequate for the greatly increased traffic whi c h the opening up of the Welsh coalfields and the connection of the Great Western line with Birmingham, Wolver_ hampton, Birkenhead, Manchester, and other places have brought upon it. Between Bull's-bridge and B.rentford there are upon the canal no fewer than eleven locks, and the delay which these occasioned was enhanced in winter by frosts and in summer by droughts. The tonnage dues also were heavy, and all these circumstances affected very prejudicially the _goods and mineral traffic upon the trunk line. These considerations led to the construction of the new railway and dock, which were yesterday opened for public .traffic. Starting f rom a j unction with the main line at Southall, which is about a mile and a half on this side of Bull's-bridge, the new line proceeds in a south-ealterly dipection through a highly-eultiiited ..7 market garden district to the dock at Brentford, a distance of 42 miles. At present only a.single line is laid, because, in the first instance, goods traffic alone will be conveyed upon it, but the whole length is ballasted for a double line, and platforms and stations are being construoted at the town of Brent ford and at the dock for the accommodation of pas sengers, which will be opened in about a fortnight. A considerable revenue is anticipated from this source, because the dock being exactly opposite one of the entrances to Kew Gardens, where - a ferry has long existed, passengers may, by this'route, be conveyed from Paddington to Kew in 35 minutes. The formation of the line has presented few engi neering difficulties • but at Windmill-bridge it was necessary to carry the railway under both thehigh way and the Grand Junction Canal. There are thus at this point three distinct modes of transit cross ing each other, all at different angles, but havin g a common centre. O n th e top is the road, below is the canal, and underneath is the railway ; the total height from the rails to the road does not exceed 34 feet. To execute this work the canal had to be' diverted, while a cast-iron trough, 8 feet in depth, was formed for the purpose of carrying the canal over the railway. The towing•path consists of cast iron roadway plates, bracketed out from the side of the trough, and the whole structure is borne upon strong abutments of brick, supported in the middle by a centre pier. One hundred and forty tons of cast-iron were used in this work, and the cost'of its construction was about £5,000. At a little more than three miles from the junction the railway crosses over the loop line of the South-Western. A viaduct, 240 yards in length, carries it through the town of Brentford, where it crosses the London road by a wrought-iron bridge of 50 feet span, and the Grand Junction Canal by a similar bridge of 70 feet span. From the end. of the viaduct a double line is laid into the dock, just before reach ing which the canal is again traversed by a bridge of 90 feet span. The dock itself is a wor k of considerable impor tance, and the facilities which it is intended to afford the Great Western for L the cOnveyance of heavy traffic to and from the Pool are expected to be very great. The dock encloses four and a half aches of water, having a depth of 13 or 14 feet at high water, and an ample depth to float barges at low water. Here every convenience, such as covered sheds, cranes, shipping, staiths, and so forth, are provided, so that the shipment of goods and minerals may take place with the utmost ra pidity. It is calculated that the journey from the dock to the Pool will be accomplished ix one tide. BY.ry attention has been paid to insure the solidity of the works. The 'dock is said to be perfectly watertight throughout the whole area, and - so well ' - provided with rails for the goods' accommodation that upwards of two miles of line are laid on this part of the undertaking. The space and ap pliances were estimated to admit of traffic to the extent of 500,000 tons annually, an amount which the dock has been specially designed to accom modate. A telegraph from the dock to the Pool of London completes the arrangements of this un dertakihg. The Great Western Company under take the working of, the line, and guarantee to carry at least 100,000 tons of goods and minerals over it annually, exclusive of coal, coke, and stone. The present traffic at Bull's-bridge, how- ever, and contracts already entered into warrant the expectation that double the specified amount of traffic will pass over the line. It appears that the actual cost of these works, as executed by Messrss .. • Treadwell, the contractors, under the superinten dence of Mr. E. F. Murray, the resident-engineer, has been only X 130,000; and the total cost from first to last, including preliminary, law, and Par liamentary expenses, and the purchase of land, has not exceeded £200,000. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LEEDS. On Thursday afternoon, a little before three o'clock, Mrs. Watts, a widow, aged 75, and who re sided at 4, Westminster-place, Castle-street, West End, Leeds, rushed to the door of a neighbour named Miss Tutin, with a towel wrapped round her throat, and told her that her throat had just been cut by one of her lodgers, named Abraham Fawcett. As slue removed the towel the blood spurted out like water from the spout of a kettle. Miss Tutin gave the alarm, and the poor old woman was shortly afters ards attended to by Mr. Nunneley, surgeon, who sewed up the wound. Mrs. Watts was next asked where Fawcett was, and she replied that he was cutting his throat just as she rushed out of the house. The neighbourhood being alarmed, Mrs. Watts's house was examined, and sure enough Faw cett was found on the floor of Mrs: 'Watts's bed room bathed in blood. The room had the appearance of a slaughter-house. From the fragmentary narra tive furnished at intervals by Mrs. %Vatts and the other residents in the house, it would appear that Fawcett, a young man of 35, was employed as a cloth dresser as Mr. King's establishment in North hall-lane. He has lodged with Mrs. Watts for 12 morning, when b e rds h years, and ers 0 trwasew hatof the affection of a child.dtocheri o cherish t wit Monday last Mr. King entertained his "band s " to dinner, and since then Fawcett has been drink iwnags. seenH e was a t t fresh Lisbonsh on i Thursdaylnn. rn About on a g l-past tw o he went to his lodgings, and finding the door fast entered by the kitchen window. Mrs. Watts had' gone to lie down on the bed. He appears to have gone up stairs, and when he entered Mrs. Watts's room he made certain improper overtures to her, which she, of course, resisted. He appears to have become suddenly maddened, for he drew his own razor from his pocket, and cut the poor old woman's throat. She managed, however to from the room, escape room, but as she w as l • . leaving it she saw Fawcett attempt his ownlife. The subsequent circumstances have been already narrated. On Thursday night, when our correspondent was at the house, which is one of a row of oath.. b es in the centre of a densely populated district, hundreds of people were congre gated about the greatest exciteme n t preva i ling. Hefound Mrs. W a tt s i n a ver y d angerous condi tion, the wou d h • n having been re-opened by a fit of coughing and the bleeding having continued for half an hour before medical assistance could again be procured. The incision is a deep and long wound. Fawcett has also a inflicted desperate gash on his own throat, and he has been asleep—probably from the stupefying effects of the liquor—almost ever since the occurrence. Mrs. Watts was scarcely ex pected to survive the night. The only motive for the attack appears to have been the one given above.—Man chester Guardian.
