MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have been exceedingly firm. Tea, however, has continued inactive, owing to the large quantity to be offered at public sale to-day. Sugar has fully sustained the late advance, par ticularly the finer descriptions of West Indian, and in the refined market an active business has been done at enhanced rates. For coffee the demand has been steady without any material variation in prices. Rice, rum, and cocoa have been in mode rate request at former rates. Saltpetre has been inactive, and quotations are quite nominal. Tal low has continued in steady request, but owing to a pressure of sales on the part of importers, quota tions have shown less steadiness. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a firm appearance, but no immediate advance was reported. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The R ailway Share Market presented a buoyant aspect, and a further slight improvement took place in values. About £200,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, aid a considerable portion of the recent arrival by the Leaping Water has been pur chased for the continent.. _ . -----_ The Discount Market has not been influenced to any perceptible e xtent by the preparations for the 4th of the month, the mercantile classes having quietly provided for the event, without stimulating the demand, or adding to the firmness of quotations. The lowest charge for superior qualities of commer cial bills is 31 per cent., and the inquiries at the Bank,where 4 per cent. is the minimum, have fallen off in consequence. The tendency of the market is decidedly favourable, and if the harvest should prove satisfactory lower rates of discount may be shortly experienced. There has been very little business 'to-day in the Market for Public Securities, but sales having preponderated, a slight decline has occurred, Con sols being 931 H for money, and 931 for the 10th October. Some of the speculators have no doubt sold stock in order to realise profits. The New Threes are 931 I; the Reduced 931 ; the New 21 per Cents. 771 ; Long Annuities 161 ; Exchequer Bills ls. prem. ; India New Loan is 103; ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper 961 ; ditto 51 per Cent. 1021 ; and the Bonds are Bs. dis. ; Bank Stock is 231 233; and India ditto, 2171. Continued activity is apparent in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices are firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 a ; ditto New Loan, 571 to 571 ; ditto 4 per Cents. 101; Venezuela, 221 23 ; Dutch 4 per Cents., 1011; Buenos Ayres Deferred, 30 ; Greek Bonds, 81 ; Mexican, 211 ; Peruvian 3 per Cents., 741; Russian 4 per Cents., 64; Spanish Deferred, 401; ditto Passive, 221 ; and ditto Certi ficates, The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares are 2g a pm. ; the Universal, pm. ; and the Thames and Mersey, ,4 4 pm. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been to a fair extent ; less firmness, however, has prevailed, a reaction, of about to per cent. hav ing taken place in values. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, North Western, Mid, land, and South Eastern have receded ss. ; Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ; and North British and North Eastern (Berwick), £l. The Foreign and Colonial Markets have shown little variation of importance. Sambre and Meuse, Bahia and San Francisco, and Pernambuco brought former rates ; East Indian have receded 10s., and Great Indian Peninsula 10s. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue at barely previous quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 931 I 3 per Cent.

CAUTION TO THE LEATHER TRADE.—BURGLARY. •--Information has been given to the metropolitan police of an extensive burglary, which was committed on Saturday last on the premises of Messrs. Fisher and Co., leather factors, &c., Leadenhall-place, Lime -street, a large quantity of valuable skins being removed from the warehouse. A reward has been offered for any information that may lead to the detection of the offenders. THE TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.—It is some what curious that the earliest news conveyed by telegraph to the press of America was the launch of a sloop of war at the Brooklyn Yard, and that the first regular organisa tion for the purpose of telegraph reporting was formed for obtaining news of the progress of the war in Mexico. A daily horse-express was run between Mobile and Montgo mery, a distance of 200 miles, in order to anticipate the arrival of the mail, and forward the news by telegraph to New York and other places. In 1847 the complete and efficient organisation of what is termed the " Associated Press of New York" was established, with "telegraph re- Wrters" and agents in every important city or port in the united States, as well as in Canada, England, and other countries. The charge for sending messages by telegraph was at first much higher than is at present the case, and the great object of the associated reporters was to devise some means of getting as much as possible for their money from the t elegraph companies. As the result of much an xious der illerati on and forethought, they at length pre pared a complete system of short-hand or cipher, which, while it h wa vr s Dsrfectly unintelligible to the clerks' of the telegraP 'd t as ' wh --en translated by those possessing the key, fan ° Possess remarkab elastic roperties. A m essa ge of ten ciph er S WoT d wou ld ly expand to fifty or sixty, or even one h undr ed ~., When translated. Some of the words sent were of enor—.oua i h ic fr _ n gth, and made up of syllables, each of which had a e meaning, and when in combi nation defied all the dictionaries of the civilised world. There came, however, a limi t to human part of the managers of the telegraphs and they ordered that no word sent by the A "°ciated Press should contain more than five letters, that ti le the vii. letters in every message should be counted, and ale divided by five for the number of words, and charligeitahO,.,4, ee r - --ingly. The new so ciety did not rest content s ' ,, ,_ PnLtating against the ty ranny Fog Smith," a tu,e7 but the manager of the New York and Boston nne, ut they ransacked the dictionaries for the purpose of finding a sufficient number of words of five letters to serve the tug": of a new cipher system, and some thousands of s the lin—a were very speedily selected, and were sent over e, po,"„ ed of even greater expanding powers than those under th e former Ifriterll.—Once a Week. I'4IEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.—The annex e d Com _ munication is from the Committee of Bo nd h olders:Mexican Mr. . b ---" The committee have received advice from.te head, dated Mexico, the 3d ult., of a condueta being, " after all, on the point of then leaving for Vera Cruz, but that Mr. Matthews's opinion was so decidedly unfavourable as e to to the security it offered thai. Mr. Whitehead was u-nabl Great avail himself of it for the funds uf the bondholders. v alish ae the accumulation of funds now is tii the hands o f l - , .-..? a • e houses in the capital, only two are venturing to send some trifling amounts with it. So far as was known in the city of Mexico, General Miramon was still at Lagos. Vlo re were daily reports of his defeats and success, on which no reliance was placed." GARIBALDI AFTER MELAZZO.—Here an incident occurred which deserves to be mentioned, as showing the singular character of Garibaldi. Finding his shirt dirty and soiled from his personal struggles, he took it off, washed it in the brook hard by, and hung it up on the bushes, ate his lunch of b rea d, f r uit, and water, smoked his cigar I;are b acked, and wrapt in thought, sat apparently contemplating the drying of his garment; thus in the field and bivouac, X `raring danger and hardship with the humblest of his fol lowers. Directly his shirt was dry, he went on board the T akeri ' formerly Veloce, lying in the bay on the western side of the peninsula, and personally directed her fire on the fortress and retiring masses,—Blackwood's Magazine for September.

This morning William Godfrey Youngman, only 25 years of age--who was convicted at the last session of the Cen tral Criminal Court of the murder of his mother, his two younger brothers, and Elizabeth Ann Streeter, to whom he had promised marriage, the murders taking place at his parents' residence in Manor-row, Wal worth—underwent the extreme penalty of the law on the scaffold erected on the top of the gateway of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators, between 30,000 and 40,000 persons having assembled at every available point where a sight of the scaffold could be obtained, and amongst the vast crowd a large number of females were present. The circumstances of these horrible murders and the con vict's subsequent conduct in denying that he was the mur derer, and charging his mother with having committed the murder of the young woman and her two sons, and that he only destroyed her in self-defence, are fresh in the recol lection of the public ; and it is melancholy to state that he has adhered to that statement unto death. Although con stantly visited by the Rev. Mr. Jessop, the chaplain of the gaol, and apparently paying the most serious attention to his exhortations, he has as constantly denied that he was a murderer. His conduct in prison has been most calm and decorous, and it so continued to the last moment after he knew all hope was gone. Yesterday his father, brother, and two sisters visited him in his cell, in the presence of the chap- lain and governor. The interview lasted about an hour and a half, and a most painful scene took place. The , wretched man, instead of showing contrition, upbraided his• father in strong terms, said he had been a bad father to him, a bad husband to his mother, and bad father to his sisters. The father recriminated, when the convict in his replies was quite in a rage, so muck so that the governor and chaplain thought it right to put an end to, it, and induced the father to withdraw from the room. After the father was gone he became more calm, and conversed with his brother and sisters generally, but positively denying that he had committed the murder, in fact adhering to his original statement ; he then complained bitterly of the con duct of the uncle of the unfortunate girl Streeter, Mr. Spice, of the Green Dragon, Bermondsey-street, in stating on the trial that he had told him, Youngman, that he would sooner see his niece with a rope round her neck than she should marry him. The convict added with warmth, "Do you suppose a man like me could hear such words with out striking him to the earth. I am not a mur derer, but I could take his head off." After this he became more calm, and burst into tears, but all the remainder of his conversation was a protestation of his innocence. His father again entered the room, when, afl er a little persuasion on the part of his sister, brother, and chaplain, he shook hands with his father and kissed him ; he then kissed and embraced his brother and sisters, and took his last farewell of.them. In two or three hours (the wretched man having expressed a wish to that effect) his brother brought his wife, the convict's sister in-law, and her child, and he had an interview with them for half an hour ; he was quite calm, and appeared to be much affected in embracing his little niece, but in all his conversation he protested his innocence. After they had left him he remained quietly reading some religious books given him by the chaplain until ten o'clock, when he was visited by the governor (Mr. Keene) and the chaplain. They did all they could to induce him to make a confession, but he only repeated what he had before stated. The wretched man then joined in prayer with the chaplain in apparent fervour, after which he was again appealed to to confess; when he did not, as before, assert his innocence, but maintained a strict silence, which the chaplain and the governor at the time took as a tacit confession of his guilt, and that his sentence was a just one. He was again visited by the chaplain about 11 o'clock, after which the wretched man retired to rest and slept soundly during the night, and this morning after he arose he partook of a hearty breakfast of cocoa and bread and butter, and in fact asked for more. An ex traordinary incident may be here mentioned, showing that the wretched man had contemplated an escape or self destruction. On Saturday evening he desired to go to the closet, but it being dark the wardens would not let him go without a light. One of them left the cell to fetch one leaving a warden with him ; this warden also left the room to go into another cell, when the prisoner watched them, and knowing the cells would not open from the in side he rushed out and pushed the second warder into a cell, but the door of the cell in which the first warder was in did not catch the look. The prisoner then ran down the corridor, flod down tho stars, but at the bottom he was caught in the arms of a third warder, and on his being taken back to the cell he said he only did it for a spree; but in the interview with his father and brother he said his intention was to hare thrown himself over the staircase and destroy himself. At 7 o'clock this morning Mr. Tessop, the chaplain, ♦isited him, and remained with him to the last. He earnestly joined the rev, chaplain in prayer; and in the hope at the last moment some confession would be obtained the rev. gentleman said to him " Don't go out of the world with a lie in your mouth," to which he immediately replied " If you want me to tell a lie,it would be to say I did it." When the fatal hour came for the procession to move he walked with calm firmness to the arch under the gateway, shaking hands with the warders. Calcraft here received and pinioned him ; he was then formally delivered over to the Sheriff and Under-Sheriff, Mr. Hart and Mr. Abbott, and Mr. Garland, the chief constable of the Borough. The pro cession then moved up the staircase to the drop, the Rev. Mr. Jessop reading the burial service; the wretched man ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and placed himself under the fatal beam; he joined the chaplain in prayer; his last words were, " Thank you, Mr. Jessop, for your kindness ; see my brother, and say I cent my love to him and all." The cap being put over and the rope adjusted, he shook hands with Calcraft, the fatal bolt was drawn, and the wretched man launched into eternity. His struggles were brief ; in an hour he was cut down. The body will be buried this evening. POLICE INTELLIGE.NCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A. WORRMAN.—Benjamin Shaw, of 29, Liquorpond-street, Gray's-inn-lane, a journeyman engra ver, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a copper. plate, &c., the property of his master, Mr. T. Wiltshire, engraver and printer, IA, George-street, Grosvenor-square. Mr. Wiltshire said the prisoner had been in his employ as a printer, and, in consequence of his being spoken to by his apprentice, he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving his premises and charged him with robbing him, and in his cap found a copperplate and some brass. The prisoner said he was very sorry, and hoped he would not prosecute or give him into custody. The prosecutor having recommended the prisoner to mercy, Mr. Beadon dealt with the case as one of unlawful possession, and ordered the prisoner to pay 10s. or seven days' imprisonment. John Stuart, a lad who has been before convicted, way charged with having in his possession a cape, believed to be stoles. The prisoner was stopped by Sergeant Cole, 23 C, some others, having a large bundle in their possession, managing to escape. With the view that something may be heard of the rob , bery, Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner. THAMES. ANOTHER MEAT STEALER.—Martha Hay, a dirty. bloated woman, who owned to 20 years of age, but was in appearance 40, was charged with stealing two necks of mutton, weighing 151b5., value 95., from the shop of Mr. Charles Barmore, a butcher, in Charles-street, St. George in-the-Bast, Mr. Barmore has been a very great sufferer by the de predations of female meat stealers, and many have been convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment for stealing prime joints from his shop. Last night the pri soner entered the shop under pretence ofinquiring the:price of meat, and took from a block a piece of mutton and put it under her shawl. A boy named Taylor, who saw the rob bery committed, followed her and gave her into custody. The mutton was taken from her. The prisoner said she was drunk when she took the meat, and recollected nothing at all about it. Police Serjeant Copping, a detective officer, No. 3;K, said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and she had been summarily convicted at the Woolwich Police Court for stealing meat, and sentenced to two or three months imprisonment and hard labour, and afterwards convicted at the Worship-street Police Court for stealing a coat and £6, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was remanded until Friday next for the purpose of obtaining the evidence of the officer who was present at her last conviction, and it was intimated that she would then be committed for trial at the Sessions. The Corriere mercantile of Genoa says :—" It appears from the last accounts from Naples, of the 28th ult., that the King, seeing himself reduced to the last ex tremity, consulted M. Liborio Romano and General Pia nelli as to what he should do ; and that both of them frankly declared that any further resistance would be use less, inasmuch as the troops could not be relied on, having become favourable to Italian unity."

A most admirable race was rowed yesterday by the mem bers of the above well-known club, but owing to the great ness of the struggle it will have to be re-rowed. They came in as follows : Black T.

At the end of a great race, in which Red and Yellow were nearly level, Black, with the most surprising power, came, up, and unadvisedly endeavouring to pass between the two others, fouled them, causing Yellow to cant on Red, who at once stopped. The umpire disqualified Black, and the race will be re-rowed, as before stated. MILLWALL APPRENTICES' REGATTA.

SELSEA LIFEBOAT.—The National Lifeboat Insti tution is desirous to place a lifeboat at Selsea, on the Sussex coast, for the protection of the crews of vessels which get wrecked on the " Owers" and other shoals in that danger ous locality. At present, with the exception of two life boats recently placed at the back of the Isle of Wight, there is no lifeboat establishment between Worthing and Lyme Regis. A lifeboat for the dangerous banks above alluded to cannot fail to be of great servi, e, and will fill up a great part of the long gap which here exists between those life-saving establishments, which, through the in strumentality of this noble institution, are now fast encir cling the coasts of the United Kingdom. In forming and maintaining a lifeboat establishment; the institution seeks the co-operation and persevering help of the immediate neighbourhood and the county generally in which it is si tuated, by whose aid, in conjunction with the funds col lected from the general public, it is enabled to support its present large fleet of lifeboats, now numbering upwards of 100. The cost of the lifeboat which it is proposed to sta tion at Selsea has been generously presented to the institu tion by some charitable member& of the Society:of Friends ; but a transporting carriage and a substantial boathouse, costing together about £2OO are yet needed to complete the establishment, and also an annual sum of about £3O is required to meet the local expenses of the station, the insti tution undertaking from its general funds the permanent maintenance of the whole in a state of good repair and ge neral efficiency. The inhabitants of the Isle of Wight and the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club have recently come forward nobly and enabled the institution to form two first-rate lifeboat establishments on the most exposed part of that island, and it is hoped that an equally liberal support will be extended by the public to the institution on behalf of the much-needed lifeboat at Selsea. THE IRISH CHANNEL STEAMERS.—The no yir steamer Leinster was engaged specially on Saturdlyfor th e _., conveyance of the Lords of the Admiralty from Holyhead to Dublin.

Kemp, extends from 31st Dec., 1856, to May, 1860, and shows—Debtor to creditor, £5,600; creditors partially secured, less property held, £1,097; pro fits, £7,061; liabilities, £882; liability to Malendez, Casta nado and ,Robertson, £2,654 ; liability to William Poyner, £414 ; creditor cash, £2O ; doubtful debt, £96 ; pro perty, £1,572; ditto in hands of creditors, £487 ; trade expenses, £3,497; personal, £1,792; losses, £2,767; loss on farm at Great Barr, £2,157. An adjournment took place, Mr. Johnson, the officio.] assignee, requiring time to examine the accounts. IN RE SWINEY. The bankrupt was a merchant in Fenchurch-street, and this was a meeting for the last examination. The debts are stated at £2,003; creditors holding security, £3,060; liabilities, £2,036 ; assets, doubtful. An adjournment took place for an investigation of the accounts, IN RE DUNN AND BOYLE. These bankrupts were described as of lsiew Great Spring Gardens, iron dealers, &c., and applied for their certificates. The accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers show debtor to creditors £3,640 ; assets, good debts, £2,113 ; doubtful, £2,100. There was no opposition, and his Honour granted immediate certificates. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE MAYOR'S COURT AND THE SHERIFFS' COURT-. 1 CAUTION-BEYFUS AND OTHERS V, SP-RA.-D-0: This was a summons on which plaintiffs sought to - recover £8 odd, balanc& of a debt of £lB odd. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, stated that plaintiffs had formerly sued defendant for this very debt in the Mayor's Court. Defendant had paid £lO, and now plaintiffs removed the cause to this court. lie (Mr. Buchanan) submitted that such a course could not be adopted. A gentleman who attended for plaintiffs said he was not aware of the circumstances attending the case, and His Honour, upon reference to the particulars affixed to the summons, said there could be no doubt the present sum sought to be recovered formed a portion of the Mayor's Court claim. Under these circumstances, he would see if defendant was not entitled to treble costs, for most certainly plaintiffs would not recover in this court. His Honour then referred to the Act, and while he was perusing it, Mr. Buchanan remarked that in cases where treble costs were allowed plaintiffs had obtained judgment. In this suit judgment had not been obtained in the Mayor's Court, and therefore he (Mr. Buchanan) could only, on behalf of defendant, ask for the usual costs. His Honour found that was so, and, in awarding defen dant and his attorney costs, observed that had judgment been obtained he should certainly have awarded treble costs. Such a system as that now before the court should be stopped, and he would do all in his power to prevent its continuance. Verdict for:defendant with costs. TBIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARK TS.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH IN THE MEDITERRA NELL—GIBRA.LTAR, Aug. 20.--tro-day we have had the pleasure of viewing over the Stella (s.s.) belonging to Lon don, commanded by Captain Dixon, which is laden with a submarine cable, manufactured by W. S. Menley, Esq., of ' London for the Spanish Government. It is intended to be laid between Majorca, Minorca, Ivitza, and the mainland, half-way between Valencia and Barcelona. The Stella is a fine steamer, Glasgow-built, and is well fitted for this kind of work. The engineers on board are—in addition to the ,Messrs. Henley (Sir Charles Bright, Mr. W. Bright, and Mr. W. Suter, on behalf of the Spanish Government)—Mr. J. Hamilton and Mr. J. T. Forester ; wi h Messrs. Banks and Marshall, electricians, on behalf of Mr. Henley. The Stella will leave to• night for Port Mahon, and will connect the islands first, after which she will lay the long sea length. We are also daily expecting the Algerian cable, manufac tured by Messrs. Glass and Elliotts, of East grreenwich, and which we learn is now beiag shipped on board the William Corry, Captain Donaldson, at London. COURTSHIP EXTRAORDINARY.—The most extra ordinary case of this kind of which we remember to have heard has been brought to light within the last few days at Moulton, in this county. The circumstances are briefly these :—About seven years ago a girl of 16, named Catherine Coome, married her first cousin, a painter of the same name, at Cheltenham, of which town they were both na tives. After some time they came to reside at Bedford, where the wife assumed the male attire and the name of Fred, and passed as the son of her husband, working with him at his trade. In the same house with them lodged a Miss Smith, a straw bonnet maker, who fell in love with Fred, and Fred reciprocated the affection, and passed hire self off and was received as Miss Smith's sweetheart. The intimacy has now lasted between them five months, Fred sleeping every night with the painter, and Mi r se w :r a entertaining no doubt whatever that her 0 Smith's man. Three weeks ago they all three ca Moulton, whither they were followed Mi s s father, who receive] a letter from Cheltenhamwith a male, but his daughter was keeping company, not fat h e r of t latter with a female, and that the supposed taxed With the was in reality her husband.

METROPOLITAN THE . UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. works in connection with this —The various .11 with this undertaking a hifir rgressi g, more especially in that portion of are r p one-road l • the Na l l' e • lying westward of St. Marylebone Church. During the past fortnight two large trenches have been san k opposite the workhouse, and workmen employed d a y a nd night in the construction of the necessary sewer. In the immediate neighbourhood of Stafford and Chapel streets, the work of demolition is more prominent, the block to n b Northamptono i ng ils totri nen sgildvteheaadtt. of houses formerly known as Middlesex-place having been pulled down, as well as several others in Upper Lisson street. Workmen are busily e- gaged in clearing and pre paring the ground, and carting away the immense mass of earth, bricks, &c. On Tuesday the thoroughfare in the M arylebone-road between High-street and the Portlaad road was stopped up, a number of men having been em ployed pursuant to orders from the directors of the company to commence the formation of the railway, the construction of the new sewer having been completed. The traffic in this portion of the road will in consequence be turned into the Portland-read, and pass down Devonshire-street into High- street. From King's-cross to the city the lino will be subterranean only where it passes under roads or im portant buildings. Elsewhere, it will be simply a cutting. In less than 12 months the line will be complete as far as Euston-square.—Marylebone Mercury. LORD BROUGHAM'S NEW ACT ON THE LAW OF DEBTOR AND CREDlTOR.—Yesterday Lord Brougham's new act to amend what is called "The Clandestine Act" (788 Vic. c. 70), or the Private Arrangement Act, was issued. It merely gives permission to pa= ties in custody to apply to the Court of Bankruptcy under the recited act, which act only extends to non-traders. For a long time the Insolvent Debtors Court have liberated before hearing traders and non-traders in a few days who have applied under the Protection Acts. The Private Arrangement Act is a secret mode of passing through the Court of BankruptOy. GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES. Among the questions left in an unsatisfactory position at the close of the Parlia mentary sess i on has been that of Government guarant ees . Y et the principle th a t mus t r egulate it is of the simplest kind. The f a il ure o f th e Indian telegraph, and the consequent danger of a loss of £BOO,OOO to the na tion, is considered by many to have extinguished all prospect of future similar grants for undertake ings of any description. That will be a point for the public to determine, but it must be determined upon grounds different from those at present recog nised. The legislators who condemn guarantees do not usually do so on the conviction that the under takings proposed are not required, but from the fancy that if a guarantee is refused with sufficient pertinacity private individuals will at length un dertake the risk. The tone of regret on the part of Ministers and others in their recent allusions to the Red Sea line was indicative of this feeling. Their grief was not so much on account of the money having been lost as at the fact of its having been i lost by the G overnmen t— a v i ew a b out as cre di ta b le as if a reg i ment were to express. sorrow that they had omitt e d to avert some common inconvenience fi by ee inducin gtlse half in ,e a a-dozen rnofhtohpeeir, The number to thing se eiti;ig has always been observable. The promoters of a e Great Eastern" or any outlay that gratifies national vanity and, with the exception of the contractors, rains all cone;erned, are invariably held up by public speakers: as far sighted benefactors, when, in fact, they have arrested the march of improvement by a reckless disregard of all pecuniary interests but their own. Every engi neer can design things to astonish the world if he be sufficiently unscrupulous to found his own exalta tion upon the impoverishment of families, a nd un fortunately it is this class, and not the straightfor ward members of the profession, who are tuo stly the objects of platform eulogium or of official pat ronage. When a better sense shall have become gen.et ral, and the rules of morality and of political ecoraorny are admitted to go hand in hand, we shall hear no more of these congratulations at the countr.y ]laving obtained a great gain through the practice of a suc cessful deception upon a certain number of ii tvestors. Let it lie understood that the man who rt tie es the smallest work with satisfactory commercial. rcesults is the friend of progress, while he who sets nip non paying wonders is its worst enemy, and ay e shall then advance from precedent to precedent w ithout a check. At all events, whatever may be th e obli quity of sentiment or want of courage displa: red in Parliament on these matters, it may be hop ed the people at large will r eg a r d them in their honest aspect. When an undertaking proposed is purely commercial, every suggestion for a guaran to e is, of course, to be denounced. On the other hand, when it is national, let the nation fairly pay for what they require, and not descend to haggling att .empts to underrate their own interest in the matt 3r, and exaggerate the probable results to others. When once the habit is attained of taking this direct course, there will be a good prospect for many en terprises which people at the present monient are almost afraid to advocate. The inquiry will be simply in each case as to the political advantages to be gained, and the price they are worth, and this being ascertained, there will be a readiness to pay the price. Under existing circumstances nothing is done, because the public waste their time in try ing to cheat themselves. It is a constant struggle on the part of the majority to get all the benefit and avoid all the risk. Such exceptions as occur are of the character commonly observable in affairs that are not regulated by any admitted policy. They merely furnish examples of Treasury caprice or favouritism. The country will find that unless it is disposed to retrograde it will not long be able to refuse to accept its proper responsibilities. If a certain railway, or canal, or telegraph is wanted in order to effect a specific economy of troops, stores, or shipping, or to transmit speedy notice of danger, we have scarcely a right even to permit private persons to incur the possibility of loss in furnishing them. Assuming that they will yield sufficient returns, a guarantee can, cost nothing ; in the contrary result it must be as dis graceful to let individuals suffer as if we were to entrap them to build our fortifications and dock yards. What would have been our hold on India at this moment had she remained destitute of rail ways and telegraphs ? And what will be the posi tion of England if, while every other country avails itself of the guarantee principle, we refuse to use it because it is liable to abuse ? Some years back it: was calculated that, reckoning the value of the time of a London citizen at less than ls. an hour, the loss from the absence of a rail or tramway from the Bank to the West-end was about a million sterling. per annum. A metropolitan guarantee would have met the difficulty, and ahe saving in three or four years would have reimbursed the outlay, even if the line had never paid a farthing of net revenue. In like manner, a railway by the Euphrates would, shorten the route to India 1,000 miles, and possibly in life and money, under certain political contin gencies, save its own cost in the first year. But it cannot be effected. It is a national, and not sin individual concern, and the nation will do nothing for itself. The Government in all matters of - this kind will be happy to afford every encouragement to private capitalists to embark their money for the good of the community, but it will not for a moment entertain the idea that the community should un dertake any obligations in return. A "LIMITED" SAVINGS BANK COMPANY FINED FOR IMPROPER DESCRIPTION. Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, Mr. Joseph Francies, the manager of the District Savings Bank Company (Limited) at Leeds, was charged with painting up an improper description of the said bank outside his premises at 22, Bond-street, Leeds. The alleged offence was, that while the company was registered under the Joint-stock Companies Act, 1856-57, Mr. Francies had had painted on the office window the following notice :—" Savings Bank, Incorporated by Act of Parliament." Mr. Bruce, who supported the information, said that Mr. Francies was the manager of a company which had an office in Leeds—the proper name of the company being " The District Savings Bank (Limited)." He believed the head office of the company was iu London, but there were branches in different towns. He called atten tion to the 31st section of 19 and 20 Vic. C. 47 c i which imposed a penalty for misdescrißtion, an._ pointed out that the intention of the Legislatureep 081-n_ framing this clause was to guard against h r t this act sibility of companies constituted un h d r e e reference to sailing under false colours. Now, ssmuucishtricats the a name of the wi on the the defendant's office, the words.ll Painted ca porated by act window were" Savings' Bank, I of Parliament." But this was,n°t. defendant's Company.

I the name he paintedllupon it was not the name at a 2 and secondly of the company , that it was a decided f a lsehood. Defendant might say that he had painted up the proper title of the company on the coursing stone, but that was far above the and window, some 12ft. from the ground, and in a place, and in letters so small, that it was scarcely possible to see the title. At all events, he submitted that the notice on the window was a " notice, adver tisement, and official publication," within the mean ing of the act. It was a fraud upon the public, a sham intended to impose the 'and upon community, it was therefore most desirable that the court should put down any attempt of the kind. Thomas Greaves, a groom in the service of Messrs. Brayshaw and Butterworth, of Cha peltown, deposed to having deposited ss. in Mr. Francies 's office on the 22d ult. He saw on the window the words, painted in large letters, " Savings Bank, Incoporated by Act of Parliament." He paid 2d. for a book, in which this deposit was entered. Did not notice any other name to the company. Mr. Prest, for the defence, submitted that the words painted up by order of 111 r. Francies did not constitute a " notice, advertisement, or other official. publication," within the meaning of the act. The penalty of £5O applied to a very different thing than that of lettering a window. He had no need to call any evidence, for it had been granted that the full title of the company, " District Savings Bank (Limited)," was painted on the coursing stone above the window, and he would consequently limit his remarks on this head to informing the Court that this title was painted above the window in letters about six inches in length. The court delivered the following judgment: --- .. " We are satisfied that the offence alleged in the formation has been committed. The statuotfe any ex pressly declares that if there be an iseublication notice, advertisement, or other official Po t that by of the company in any name different, at is clearly which the company is incorporated, otn f 19 and 20 an offence within the 31st section ° f 1 alternative Vict. c. 47 ; and this being so, d ttnt of the offence we have is to convict the defe n . is the sump 0 W hiCh and in the penalty of .£5 , B.lribed by Act of Parliament ' u tion must be paid." all the casts of the pros case for the Cou t of Mr. Prest applied f.(l_ magistrates but th e ecluied to Queen's Bench; grant him one. • The Govern me nt Savings Bank i s situated i n the s ame street as that in which M r.
