Y. 'IOIIr,EY ALIRIC •ET AND • CITY NE ISA CITY, Two O'CLOCK. til Du ring the p as t wee k t h e progres s of trade in e manufacturing districts has been satisfactory ; le som e instances, however, there has been rather h.ts activit y. At Leeds, a fair amount of bus i ness 48 been reported in woollon cloths, and the general prospects of the market' are considered Pr v°llrable * Business at Manchester has im eyed, particularly in India goods, owing to s e advices by the late Bombay mail. For home t it h e there has been a brisker inquiry, and the opera es i n some in s t ances h ave o bt a i ne d an advance h• Wa g e s. A. great business has been recorded in f r il ie ll ee goods at Bradford, but yarns and wools have t ra su PPerted previous rates. The lace and hosiery tr des at Placeverlitt :ottingham and Leicester continue ex rereelY active, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and pton a decided improvement has taken i in the general stock business. b a 11 . the Liverpool cotton market on Saturday s ' n ese was rather active, and 10,000 bales were clo d at extrem e rates. The Railway share market rl steadil y, and prices were well suppor t e d. Mark -lane b us i ness i s d u ll, and inferior wheat, Pe eth E nglish and F ore i g n, has declined ls. to 2s. ,raliarter, co m p are d w ith p rev i ou s values. jae arri va l s of spec i e th i s morn i ng i nc l u d e i9i° 4"L ; 457 bby y the City of Manchester, and X 50,00000 e Arabia, both from America. L, 4 , 811111 of £60,000 was taken into the Bank of pted on Saturday. t he th a t th e bill s d ue on S a t ur day, the 3d " month, were met with the usual promptitude, and l es the effect of the necessary arrangements was much th 8 extensive than might have been expected from t o thefluence produced by the large subscriptions tb a : new Indian and Russian loans. Whenever det, demand is stimulated a slight upward ten ar'eY is anticipated, because the terms of discount aff e unusually low, and the market is easily ke e % te d by the least increase of activity. Although t i ,. (l 4 ‘47tt nee is still considered probable during the i ra -l • few months, it is questioned whether any Mediate change will occur in the official terms ofdi seeunt. Not withstandin g s t the continued quietude of the • t: ek 4change mar k e t, the funds are well main pr-aecl, and railway shares are also dealt in at fully n "je lls quotations. At the present moment, the ,quida.tion of th e C onso l accoun t i s the chief busi ness attend e d t o b y t h e mem b ers , a lth oug h the dif a7,,enees to be adjusted were made in consequence i e diminished speculation, and the absence of :90rtant fluctuation. The Funds continue firm, additional support being afforded by the improving bu y e rs of the Bourse. Consols have been 95-2-, f ia 37er s, since then 951 i t for money and account. ee e Price for October is 95 5 1 With the ex oPtien of the investments effected by the thl ver ntnent broker for the Savings Banks, T he Money transactions continue limited. sn ?.Bettlement in the new Indian Scrip has made agtlsfaetory progress, but a rise has taken place o wing to the limited supply of the security offered t he mark e t. I t c l ose d on Saturday at 981 99, but it i 8 now very buoyant at 991 100, or 21 to 3 Preen.tr The New Threes and the Reduced are at 9 6,1, ani Exchequer Bills at 20s. to 245. ,1,, - ,7 1 ; Bank St oc k is steady at 225, and India Le at 215 t o 217 ; ditt o Debentures (1858), have advanced to 951 ; ditt o (1859), are flat at 942 95. In the Forei gn Market the dealings have been rathe r numerous. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been d• v j ; and the N ew ditto 71 to 72, the latter " ex -1)1 tr, 4 u l ll d " the 4 per Cents are steady. Spanish, y~ e "' and Portuguese Bonds are also tolerably 11 Maintained. Peruvian 4 per Cents. are rather vi z. , 9 1 to 92, but the Threes are firm at 72.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday were somewhat on the increase. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. In the value of spring corn and flour very little change has taken place. Most of the continental markets are firm for wheat as to price, but the business doing in it is only moderate. Spring corn has undergone very little change. In the United States prices continue to rule high. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were moderate. From abroad the imports were rather limited for the time of the year—viz., 5,051 qrs. of wheat, 3,900 barley, 34,514 oats, 2,307 beans, 2,604 peas, 27,790 linseed, 11,454 rapeseed, 40 sundry seeds, and 150 sacks of flour. _ _ Fresh up to-day, tho arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by land-carriage, were only moderate, and the show of samples was consequently rather limited. Fine samples of both old and new wheat, which were very scarce, were disposed of at about last Monday's currency ; but low and damp qualities moved off heavily, at a further decline in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter, at which de cline sales progressed with difficulty. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. Good and fine samples sold on former terms ; but other kinds were very dull, and drooping in price. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little attention. The few fine samples of barley in the market realised very full prices. All other kinds were dull, but not cheaper. There was a slow inquiry for malt, at last week's currency. We had a fair demand for oats, and prices generally were well supported. Beans were firm in price, but the demand for them was by no means active. In peas a moderate business was transacted at full quotations. The flour trade was heavy, 'and country marks were rather cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A fair average supply of home-fed beasts was received up this morning, but its general quality was by no means first-rate. Prime Scots, crosses, Devons, &c., were in fair request, at prices equal to Monday last ; but inferior breeds moved off slowly, and in some instances quotations had a drooping tendency. Tho general top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,200 shorthorns and crosses ; from other parts of England 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 360 oxen and heifers. Some of the latter were remarkably good. With most breeds of sheep we were extensively supplied, and there was a slight improvement in their general condi tion. The primest Downs and half-breeds sold slowly at last Monday's currency, viz., 5s 2d to, in a few instances, 5s 4d per Blbs. Otherwise, the mutton trade was rather heavy, on easier terms. The supply of lambs was rather limited, yet the demand for them was less active, at about the currencies realised on this day se'nnight, viz., from 4s 8d to 6s per 81bs. Calves—the show of which was tolerably good—were a dull sale, and 2d per 81bs lower than on Thursday. ' " We have to report a dull inquiry for pigs) at late rates.

The public sales of colonial wool have been brought to a close. During their progress about 93,000 bales were offered and disposed of at an advance of from Id to 2d per lb. By private contract very little business is doing in any kind of wool, and English qualities are offering on lower terms. Last week's imports were 1,822 bales from Algoa Bay, 502 from Port Philip, and 585 from Sydney.

THAMES. DARING ROBBERY AT THE LONDON DOCKS.—A man named Donovan was charged with the following robbery of brass beams, in conjunction with other persona not in cus tody. _ . _ It appeared from the evidence that on the afternoon of Saturday, one of the prisoner's companions was observed to be passing the beams under the Shadwell• gate of the London Docks. The prisoner was outside the gate, and observed to a man who was watching there that if he (the man) did not leave he would do for him. The prisoner went away, but was joined in a few minutes by his com panion, and they both left the neighbourhood. Shortly after the prisoner was observed on Shadwell-bridge, at a short distance the docks. He was pointed out to a police man as one of the men concerned in the robbery, and was given into custody. The other man was seen at the dock gate with him made his escape. The engineer of the company said that the the brass beams were for the engine in the engine-room, and were worth about £3. There were three other sets of brass beams missing. He did not know the prisoner. The prisoner denied that he was the guilty party, and said that the witness was mistaken as to his identity. Ha was not near the dock gate at the time of the robbery. He called two females in support of his statement. The evidence of his witnesses went to show that at the time of the robbery he was with them near the minories. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY. On the subject of the next presidential election and the political prospects, the New York Herald of the 23d ult. says : " The organisation of the new House of Repre sentatives in December next will involve a most ex traordinary conflict of sections, parties,and factions in reference to the presidential succession. It will be the opening battle of the campaign, and its re sults will go very far to determide the organisation of parties and their relative strength in the general November election of 1860. The following table exhibits the strength of the Republicans, Demo crats, anti-Lecompton Democrats, and Southern opposition factions respectively, in the elections which have been made to this new Congress : Rep. Dem. A.L.D. S. Opp. Maine Massachusetts Vermont New York New Jersey 3 0 2 0 Pennsylvania. 2O 2 3 0 Ohio Indiana Illinois Michigan 3 1 0 0 Wisconsin lowa 2 0 0 0 Delaware 0 1 0 0 South Carolina Florida 0 1 0 0 Missouri 0 7 0 0 A r k ansas New Hampshire 3 0 0 0 Rhode Island 2 0 0 0 Connecticut 4 0 0 0 'Virginia Alabama Kentucky 0 4 0 6 Tennessee. North Carolina Texas .. 0 2 0 0 Oregon 0 1 0 0 Total .. 111 71 9 18 " For the States to elect we adopt the following estimate, resting partly upon probabilities, but chiefly upon their representation in the last Con gress : Rep.

The Republican managers, however, cal culate in the house organisation upon the cordial co-operation of such anti-Lecomptenites as Clarke and Haskin, of New York ; Adrain, of New Jersey ; and Hickman, of Pennsylvania. With the office of house clerk to Forney, and the printing to some such firm as Blair and Rive, it is probable that the Republicans may secure their Speaker." - - THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

SPORTING NOTES. LOOMING IN THE FUTURE The St. Leger is rapidly approaching, and yet speculation is scarcely stirred. People watch the daily returns of quo tations until they become tired of the monotony which the same figures present. Promised Laud holds his pride of place, and the most determined opposition is seemingly un able to sink him in the price current. Marionette has superseded Trumpeter, whose " linked sweetness long drawn uut," is not likely to be very much relished by his backers. Summerside has returned to her old price, and the reports which were industriously circulated in Bell's Life about her "putting out curbs," is, I am informed, all bosh, and merely a weak invention of the enemy. The ranks of the outsiders have received an im- portant accession in Comforter, who, I trust, will be to his backers what his name implies. From those ranks, how ev6r, Burgomaster has been removed. lie has broken his leg and has been destroyed. Really I cannot find more trustworthy outsiders than Defender and the best of John Scott's lot—perhaps Phantom. The Warwick Meeting excites little expectation. The supply of sport will be meagre, and the racing unmarked by any incident of importance. Still a good muster of turfites will be present, and they will be on the tiptoe of curiosity for the weights :for the Cesarewitch and Cam bridgeshire Stakes. Doubtless several horses will "per form" in anything but their true characters, but "the Admiral" is not likely to have his weather eye closed as to their true merits. Until the last day or two no decided demonstration was made in favour of Independence for the Leamington Stakes—he was rather nibbled at, than swallowed out right. Now, however, money has been invested on him in earnest, and I am induced to share the confidence of his backers. Gaspard is not a good horse. He possesses a negative merit, but he seems to "stay" pretty well. Still I fancy the deep, flat, and heavy course at Wolverhampton was more adapted to him than the up and down hill at Warwick. Commodore is entitled to notice, simply on ac count of his lenient impost. His success is not improbable, and I shall therefore couple him witn Independence to re present my interest. _ _ _ The results of the minor races cannot be distinctly sha dowed forth. Either Pandora or Lady Eglinton ought to win the Short's, but the two• yr-old has so many engage ments at this meeting that one is puzzled to determine for which she may be intended. Orleans may win the Avon Stakes, and his party—unless he possesses more merit than has yet met the eye—may not be sorry to part with him for the stipulated " century." He must have cost them enough in all conscience. For the Castle Park Stakes I shall select Cheesecake. Newcastle has shown so much form lately that I am compelled to trust him for the Warwick Cup, especially as he has been so much "exposed" lately that his running cannot affect his weght for the autumn handicaps. The Members' Plate will perhaps be won by either Theodora or Orleans, and for the Town Plate I shall select Bel Esperanza and Conqueror. I know so little respecting the probable starters for the Nursery that I have a difficulty in making a selection ; however, I feel inclined to pay court to Lady Eglinton. Yellow Rose may winthe County Stakes and Lord Berkeley the Welter Cup. A FRESH MAN. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will, with three codicils, of St. George Thos.

The lndipendente of Turin, of the 30th ul says :—" The Paris Union pretends that the Ministry had decided on the immediate occupation of the provinces of Central Italy, and that the Prince of Savoy Carignan had been selected for the chief rule as the King's representative ; also that his Royal Highness had declined the honour, thinking all intervention in the affairs of Central Italy inopportune, and being unwilling to take any step without the King's approbation. We are able to affirm :—l. That the statement is absolutely false of any proposal having been made to his Royal Highness without the previous authorisation of the King ; 2. That it is false that his Royal Highness has ever been in a position to use the language imputed to him by the Union ; 3. We know that the country may hope to profit by the patriotism of the prince, so devoted to the King and the constitution, in a high position where his Royal Highness will be able to contribute effectually to draw closer the bonds of confidence which unite the old and new provinces of the kingdom." The Piedinontese Gazette publishes two Royal decrees, ono increasing the Sardinian cavalry by three new regiments of five squadrons each, and respectively named Light Cavalry of Milan, Lodi, and Montebello. The other decree creates a new brigade of grenadiers, to be called Grenadiers of Lombardy, and five brigades of infantry, severally called Brigade of Brescia, of Cremona, of Como, of Bergamo, and of Pavia. FRENCH AND SPANISH INFLUENCE ON PORTU GUESE RAlLWAYS.—Considerable surprise has been ex pressed, in railway and monetary circles in this country, at the announcement, by the last Peninsular mail, that the Portuguese Government have, for some unaccountable_ rea son,h made a contract with M. Salamanca, the Spanish operator on the Paris Bourse, for . constructing o lines to Oporto and Badajos. The well-wishers of f_ Portugal. inte rests, England, and those most conversant . with her true in - rests, regard this as a virtual handing over of the railways and communications of that portion of the Peninsula to Spanish and French influence. Under such circumstances, British capitalists, so many of whom have already a deep stake in the financial welfare of Portugal, will naturally be most cherry in contributing pecuniary aid towards the transfer of our old ally, connected with us as she is by various ties, into a cat's-paw by her ancient enemies. In deed, it is matter of serious doubt whether Portugal can reasonably hope to meet so large an outlay as is now pro posed in so short a time a , the conviction of those most fami ler with her resources nd most skilled in the observance of railway developments in other countries somewhat simi larly circumstanced being that it would be prudent gra dually to introduce the most needed lines only, in places where there is a primary requirement for them, the ground being previously selected by the most competent engineers, and the works carried out by thoroughly experienced con tractors, on economic, but sufficient, estimates. REPAVEMENT OF A PORTION OF GRESHAM STEEET, ClTY.—This important thoroughfare, from Loth bury to King-street, has been ie l a id and fitted with new Guernsey granite channel stones. It is expected that the public will have access to the carriage-way this day or to morrow (Tuesday). FATAL SCUFFLE AT SEA.—The West Indian, Barbadoes paper, of the 9th August last, has the following . —" Arrived this, morning, in Carlisle Bay, the steamer Little Eastern, from Glasgow , bound for Singapore- Put in for investigation of the death of the master, which 04 place in a scuttle with one of the crew," THE HOUSE OF LONG3L4N AND CO. The retirement of Mr. Brown, and the death of a former partner, Mr. Orme, have naturally directed attention to this, with one exception, the oldest house in the trade in London. Like some of our other well-known institutions, its origin is lost in obscurity, although, unlike many of them, we are able to trace the founder, or, at any rate, the first of the dynasty, in the person of Mr. Thomas Longman. When the house commenced business we know net ; the first time we find the name is ou the title-page of " An Inquiry into our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue," published in 1725 by J. Osborn and I'. Longman; and the same year we find a book of Whiston's bearing the same names. At this time the sign of their house was the " Ship," which in 1'730 became the " Ship and Black Swan." What became of J. Osborn we cannot tell ; but in 1736 we find Thomas Longman alone in business, which he appears to have carried on very success fully until his death in 1755 ; his widow survived him, and died in 1762. On the death of the first Thomas Longman, a nephew of the sam e name suc ceeded to the business. Heis said to have been a man of most exemplary character, and universally esteemed for his uprightness in business and for his benevolence in private life. He died at Hampstead, Feb. 5, 1797, leaving two sons ; George, the second. one, M.P. for Maidstone, was a stationer in partner ship with John Dickinson ; Edward, the youngest, was drowned at sea ; Thomas Norton, the eldest, succeeded to his business and to many good points of his father's character. The business, previous to this time, had been much increased by the purchase or acquisition of some of the best copy rights of the day, and by opening accounts with a large number of the best houses in the provinces ; it had also been largely engaged in the American trade, and, to the honour of the booksellers of that country be it said, that after the declaration of in dependence they did not repudiate the debts in curred as colonists. Mr. Owen Rees entered in 1794, and soon afterwards became partner, and the business was carried cn as Longman and Rees till 1804. Mr. Rees retired from the business at Mid summer, 1837, but died Sept. 5, in the same year. In 1804, Mr. Cosmo O rme , a va l ue d ass i s t an t, had enteredinto partnerships with Mr. Thomas Hurst, who had got together a large country business ; but it was thought desirable to retain his services, and the firm became that of Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme. From this time may be dated the great rise in the fortunes and business of the house. They published large and expensive works, and as sumed the first position in the trade, a position they have kept ever since. About this time they also engaged largely in the old book-trade. We have before us at this moment one of the catalogues for the year 1813, containing enough articles to enable Dr. Bandinel to commit a breach of the tenth com mandment, although he has the whole Bodleian library to himself. In this scarce and curious quarto volume we find the celebrated " Roxburgh Ballads," now in the British Museum ; a Pennant's Ipxx " v46 L so2s o ergdd n p; ; e d t, otosicwnp e xtraordin a rytda, Dictionary," i mark e dtkvride:nfolr a ssembla ge oshmt,smo,e:enrms : I:eo4 3 alriar o s, g6l O oy, eD; ; c; oi a arcfoatmuci printedonawnLGranger'sixagyetriusofoeinban, books, ia,os, osaf ' ksw, ' , esßiographi cal i: yiL onba2on i assemblage ne; London," sunadpo: an e: " Garrickiana," and many other articles of a matchless character. But this old-book room is of the things of the past. We re member the last of it at Sotheby's. In or about the year 1794 the business of Mr. James Evans, a wholesale bookseller in the Row, who failed, had been acquired. and this, with the business brought by Hurst, placed the house of Longman in the front rank not only of publishers, but as wholesale book sellers, as at this time their country business was one of the first, if not the very first in the Row. Mr. Hurst unfortunately got mixed up in some bill transactions with other houses in the trade, and was compelled to leave. He left the house in the early part of 1826, and died an inmate of the Charter-house, June 2, 1847, aged 72. The year 1811 ushered in another partner in the person of Mr. Thomas Brown, whose retirement was gazetted so recently as June last. Mr. Brown's father, Mr. Christopher Brown, was, like himself, well known in the Row, by having passed all his life there ; he was apprenticed to Mr. Richard Baldwin, but left that house for Longman's when there were but three other assistants ; he remained all his life, and there " never was an as sistant in any establishment that possessed more assiduity and integrity, or with an acuteness of feeling for the interest of his employer that could be exceeded ; the business he got through, even at an advanced period of life with clearness, precision, i and expedition, was truly astonishing," and, as may readily be supposed, he was a great favourite with Mr. Longman, who left him a small legacy when he died in 1795. But Mr. Christopher Brown's great friend was Mr. Thomas Evans, a testy Welsh man, who carried en a large business at No. 32, in the Row, having begun life as porter to Mr. J. John son of Ludgate hill. On magazine nights, Mr. Brown, after leaving Longman's, used to assist him ; they appear to have been of kindred habits, and Evans left him the bulk of his fortune when he died in 1803. He, however, did not long enjoy it, for his death took place in 1807. His son, the present Mr. Thos. Brown, who received his education at Christ's Hos pital, where he was the contemporary of Chas. Lamb, Lloyd, Coleridge, and Le Grice, entered the house as a lad in Oct., 1792, and was apprenticed in Dec., in the same year, and in 1811 became partner. Un like most others, he has all along lived in one of the houses occupied by the firm, and although no longer a member cannot make up his mind to leave the domicile of nearly 70 years. - During the term of his partnership Mr. Brown managed the cash department, and it is not too much to say that in no house in the trade has there been greater re gularity in the payment of accounts, and also in what is of so much consequence in a publishing house, in the keeping of authors' accounts, so that there never was any shuffling or irregularity. An author could always learn, at stated times, what was coming to him, and when he might receive it. We hope for many years to come to see the well-known form promenading the shady court of the Stationers' Hall, or enjoying the quietude of Amen-corner, or studying the picturesque architecture of Warwick square. Mr. Brown is treasurer of the Booksellers' Provident Institution ; and has ever regarded the Booksellers' retreat as being under his especial protection. . Perhaps nothing has tended more to raise the house to its present position than the plan adopted by the principals of introducing fresh blood from time to time—a plan which was carried out by the introduction of Mr. Rees, Mr. Orme, Mr. Brown, and in 1824, when Mr. Bevis E. Green, who had been apprenticed to Mr. Hurst in 1807, became a partner. This gentleman, who has had charge of the country department for may years, is the only remaining partner of the old firm of Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green. Mr. T. N. Longman paid the debt of nature at' his house at Hampstead, Aug. 28, 1842, in his 72d year. He married Miss Slater, of Horsham, and by her had a numerous family ; the personal property was sworn under £200,000. His son, Mr. Thomas Longman, entered as partner in 1832. William, another son, of considerable literary abilities, became partner in 1839, and more recently, Mr. Roberts, another gentleman who was appren ticed in the house in 1826, and who for many years represented it in the country, was in 1856 received into partnership. The firm now trade under the name of Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts. —Bookseller. DARING ATTEMPT TO 808 di MAIL. An attempt at robbery which, in its daring, re cals the exploits of Turpin and the olden race of highwaymen, was made on Saturday morning, be tween Cowbridge and Bridgend. The mail-eart with the letters, was being driven along the high way road for the purpose of meeting the u l la n tr o w ain to as e beyond h n i ill lookingm. . .
