STOCKTON AND OXFORD. The St. Leger betting has been very little affected by the running at York. Promised Land and Trumpeter maintain their relative positions in the market ; and the sporting public seem as ignorant of the intentions of John and William Day as people were of those of Louis Napoleon and Francis Joseph at Villafranca. Marionette is now seldom mentioned, and all expectations of his wires being again worked is destroyed. Still, should anything happen to Trumpeter, whose leg has now twice given way, I shall not be surprised to see Marionette take his place in the betting. The withdrawal of Sum merside from her York engagements caused her St. Leger supporters much uneasiness, which was in creased when the report of her having thrown curbs was put into circulation. My faith in. her chance is, however, not destroyed, and she will perhaps yet rise with greater force in the market after her temporary depression. Bookmakers are looking hopefully to an outsider to pull them through, but they have not yet discovered the animal likely to overthrow the champion of the Days. Recollecting Imperieuse's defeat at York, and her subsequent St. Leger triumph, they lay the flattering unction to their soul that Prelude may be destined to furnish them with a similar illustration of the glorious uncertainty of the turf. Burgomaster, Defender, and Gladiolus are also mentioned with some partiality by those whose hopes are placed on the field. The most interesting and important meeting of the week will be held at Stockton on Thursday and Friday. The list contains a formidable array of nominations, and all the principal Northern stables will have representatives in the field. For the Cleve land Stakes Umpire has a 71b. penalty, and althouhh he has left York for Stockton, I do not think that he will hwe any chance with such an opponent as Cramond. Lanchester who has been heavily backed for the Derby, may also show, and unless the dark division comprises something of a superior class, either he or Cramond will be the first to receive the attention of Judge' Johnson. The Biennial Stakes may afford Prelude an op portunity of redeeming her reputation, which was so much damaged at York last week. I, however, shall not trust her, and must go for Eskdale and Gladiolus. For the Tradesmen's Plate I shall pay court to Archduchess alone, and for the Biennial Stakes, for two year olds, I shall follow in the train of Van quisher. King of Scotland is not badly treated for the Members' Plate, and I shall couple him with Hegira to stand on. Shafto may improve upon his York running for the Middlesborough Handicap. The weights for the Great Yorkshire Stakes were published this morning. I have not had time to examine the Handicap carefully, but at a cursory glance I am inclined to believe that Grand Secret, Yellow Rose, and Mutineer will be found amongst the acceptances. John Scott, too, will perhaps furnish a favourite. A FRESH MAN. STOCKTON RACES. The following horses have left York for Stockton : Grenadier, Polianthus, Umpire, and Prioress. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY, The settling- of the York accounts was the principal business transacted, and although money seemed to circu late pretty briskly, yet there was not an entire absence of complaints respecting the " tightness " which has of late affected the market. Neither time nor inclination allowed the subscribers to resume operations on coming events, and speculation was pursued on too limited a scale to require comment. The prices at the close were as follows : SURREY AND MIDDLESEX STAKES. sto 2 agst The Duke of Bedford's Killigrew (taken) 4to 1 agst Mr. Rigby's Royal Sovereign (taken) 6to 1 agst Captain Gray's Burgomaster (taken) KING JOHN STAKES. 7to 4on Mr. Alexander's Thunderbolt (taken) 6to 1 agst Mrs. Osbaldeston's The Maid of Orleans (offered) ST, LEGER. 11 to 8 on Mr. W.

Should an adverse de cision be delivered against him, bets about him will not, we believe, be affected. No authentic announcement respecting the matter was made in the Room.

Trade in Paris has profited by the immense afflu ence of strangers which the military spectacle on Sunday and the festivities on Monday attracted from all parts of France as well as from foreign countries. Many provincial and foreign merchants took advantage of the festivities to give and receive orders. Some important transactions were con cluded in jewellery, articles de Paris, ribands, mer cery, gloves, and shoes. The largest foreign orders were received from the United States, Russia, and Spain. The sums of money expended among the shopkeepers, restaurants, coffee-hcuses, and theatrss amount to an enormous sum. Accounts from the departments represent the last week as completely sterile as regards commercial transactions. The holders of produce maintain their prices, and pur chasers persist in refusing to buy except at a reduc tion to which sellers refuse to submit. The result of this contest is, that no business is transacted. No purchases are made except for immediate consump tion. Such a state of affairs is not extraordinary at this season of the year. The holders of produce are in expectation of a rise of prices, which is slow in arriving, and in which they may finally he dis appointed. Great anxiety is still entertained as to the result of the harvest, which is now nearly ga thered in. The most trustworthy accounts coincide in stating that although the calculations of the farmers will not be completely realised, and that, as regards abundance, the present year will not rank among the most productive, it will not be much inferior to the year 1858. The stacks of wheat are more numerous than last year, which fact will in a great measure compensate for the deficiency of weight in the grain There is, moreover, so largo a quantity of old wheat in reserve that the population is insured against the possibility of an exaggerated rise in the price of corn or against the necessity of importing foreign pro duce, except for the purpose of exportation. ' Let ters from Spain announce that the harvest will not be as abundant as was expected in the month of June. The deficiency is attributed to the in tense hot weather, The crop, however, is estimated as sufficient for the consumption of the country. The new wheat which has been offered for sale in the markets of the. north of Germany is of ex= cellent quality. The colour is goo and the weight is equal to seventy-nine kilogrammes the hectolitre. The Paris flour-market was heavy last week, and sales very difficult. Bali ers purchase merely what is sufficient to maintain the stock re• quired by law as a reserve. Millers, nevertheless, who are prevented from grinding by a deficiency of water in the rivers, maintain their prices. Pur chasers of large parcels for ready money may find sellers at prices considerably lower than the quota tions, which are from 45f. to 50f. the sack of 159 kilogrammes. Flour of the four marks is offered at 49f. 50c. the sack for delivery in the present month, 50f. 50c. in September, and 53f. for the last three months of the year. The Paris corn market was likewise dull last week. The sale of wheat was slow and difficult, though the offers were fewer than the week preceding. Good old wheat was sold at 26f. the 120 kilogrammes. Some choice samples of new wheat brought the same price, but new wheat of average quality was offered at from 23f. to 24f. the 120 kilogrammes. The factors declared on Fri day 1,812 sacks flour, first quality, sold for delivery within 30 days at prices varying from 45f. to 50f., and 3,730 sacks for bakers, Letters from Mar seilles, dated Friday last, state that wheat is diffi cult of sale. Notwithstanding the few arrivals,the bonded stores are still full of wheat, for which there is no demand. The bakers of Marseilles are fully supplied, and they expect a fall in prices. Wheat is not the only article which is difficult of sale. The quays and stores are crowded with merchan dise, for which there are no buyers. Better times are impatiently expected. There was a con siderable amount of business transacted at the wine market of Bercy last week. The demand for ordi nary wine continues, and the reduced supplies which arrive from the provinces are immediately bought up. A small consignment of wine arriv ed from the neighbourhood of Ricey last week, wh ich was immediately bought up at the Strasburg rail way terminus at 60f. the cask of 210 litres. It is now ascertained that several wine growing d i str icts will not produce an average crop, the proprietors consequently refuse to dispose of their sto ck on hand, being convinced that any further fall in the price of wine is impossible. Accounts from Nantes state that the weather is most favourable for the vintage. The grapes are fast advancing to matu rity, and an abundant crop is expected. The pros pect of a good vintage in the Roussillon, the Aude, the Gard, and the banks of the Rhone is not bright. Good spirit, 90 degrees strength, is more firm in the Paris market. It is quoted from 85f. 50c. to 110 f. the hectolitre. REVIVAL MEETING IN GLASGOW. A public meeting was held last evening, says the North British Mail of Saturday, on the Green, a short distance east from the Humane Society House, to hear addresses on the subject of the revival of religion in Ireland and Scotland. It was announced that a farmer from Newton-Limavady, in the north of Ireland, who had left his farm in charge of his wife and servants to come to Scotland to tell of the religious movement going on in his country, would address the meeting. Despite the disagreeable weather, at the stated hour a large number had assembled at the place of meeting, and for some time the people continued to flock thither till there were nearly 20,000 present, consisting chiefly of the working classes, a large proportion of whom were females. A gentleman of the city, who has taken a great interest in the revival movement, opened the meeting with prayer and praise, and exhorted the people at some length to ponder seri ously the condition of their souls, and to seek for the outpouring of God's Spirit upon them. The Irish farmer, who appeared to be the great object of attraction, then commenced to describe the scenes witnessed at the revival meetings in his native country, and with which the public have now be come familiar by printed accounts of them. At the opening of his address, however, a scene by no means becoming such a meeting ensued. Whether it was from a difficulty of hearing the speaker, or, as was alleged by several, from a desire on the part of some mischievous parties to disturb the proceedings, a tremendous hubbub arose, by the squeezing and pushing that took place among the crowd. Women screamed and men shouted, and it was some time before order was restored, which was effected partly by the first speaker giving out some verses of a psalm to be sung, while, at the same time, the crowd was drained off considerably by two men getting up to speak on the same topic in other parts of the green. Occasionally, however, the Irishman, who had still the largest audience, was interrupted by the violent crushing of the crowd, and one girl was taken out nearly insensible. The greatest order prevailed among the multitude, generally, though a number of reckless characters kept up a deal of hallooing, whistling, and shouting at the outside of the crowd, seemingly to annoy the police, from whom they scampered off in all directions when they made their appearance. Knots of people were also gathered here and there discussing the "revivals," the speakers expressing, in very warm terms, their belief in the genuineness of the movement, or de nouncing it as a humbug. The addresses were con tinued till after dark, and the large assemblage quietly dispersed. 57i 7 S3l 5 1321 3 6 O t i i 1094 95} a 91 1 1 i 351 1061 6 1 aoi i f 11 Col 89i i 9 [3l } 314 2 14} 444 5 754 FOREIGN MINES Australian Bon AccordCoppar,Lim.

"A company of builders, architects, and capi talists," says the Journal des Travaux Publics, "has just sent in a proposition to the municipal authorities to rebuild, within the space of one year, the seven theatres on the Boulevard du Temple, which must bo taken down in con sequence of the opening of the Boulevard Eugene and other improvements. They offer to do this on condition of receiving 1,200,000 f. a year for 20 years, the City of l'aris having the power to redeem the theatres any time after that period for a sum of six millions of francs. The continental journals state that in addition to the Three per Cent. Loan of £12,000,000 lately introduced in the London market by the Russian Government, a home Five per Cent. Loan is contemplated, of which the proceeds are also to be devoted to the regulation of the currency.

SERVANTGALISM.-SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT CASE. DAVIS V. COBORNE. This was an action to recover a month' wagess in lieu of notice, in consequence of the summary dismissal of plain tiff without due cause. It appeared that plaintiff is a servant-of-all-work, and defendant keeps a public-house. Defendant had engaged plaintiff for a month on trial. Plaintiff alleged that Mrs. Osborne,required her to do the barmaid's washing. Now, as plaintiff was not engaged to do this she refused, and insisted upon having an understanding, instead of getting which she was desired to leave directly. Mrs. Osborne said that after plaintiff had been in her service for three hours, she inquired somewhat rudely if she were to do the barmaid's washing.. She was told that she was engaged by defendant to do this work, and must do it. Upon this plaintiff became very violent, and was then summarily dismissed. Plaintiff—l am not bound to do the barmaid's washing. I won't work for a servant. His Honour thought all the servants were mad. There was an absurd feeling prevalent that it was derogatory to work for a fellow-servant. After all, it was the master's work. Plaintiff must be nonsuited. Plaintiff—What am I to do now ? His Honour—Go away, and be more careful. Plaintiff—Then, if you call that justice, I don't. TAYLOR V. SMITH.-IMPORTANT DECISION. This was an action to recover £9-£sl2x. money had and received, and £3 Bs. damage sustained through the non delivery of 10 dozen of brandy. Mr. Beard, for defendant, said his client would consent to a verdict for £5 125., and contended that plaintiff could not sue for the money had and damage. Mr. Jay, for plaintiff, said he might have gone for special damage. He advised his client to take the £5 12s. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff could not sue for the damage. Plaintiff—l had sold the brandy at a profit, and will be nonsai ted. COHEN V. SAMPSON.-A CASE FOR THE LAW SOCIETY. This was an action to recover 3s. 6d. money lent. Mr. Davies, for defendant, put in the particulars of a set-off. Mr. Beard, for plaintiff, said they would need no comment. Upon reading the particulars his Honour found them to consist of charges for work done at the County Courts, such as taking out summonses, &c. His Honour—There are three items which involve penal ties of £.50. I shall keep this paLper and see what can be done. You had better be careful, Mr. Sampson. The law society are looking out. Plaintiff will have a verdict, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA.Y.) M ARLBO ROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A CHINA WAREHOUSE,. Alex. Duncan and James Maguire, the former a carman and the latter a driver in the employ of Messrs. W. J. and G. Phillips, glass and china warehousemen, of 358 and 359, Oxford-street, were charged with stealing a largo quantity of articles of china and glass, the property of their employers. From the evidence of Mr. W. J. Phillips it appeared that, having reason to suspect that an extensive system of plunder was being carried on by the prisoners, he commu nicated with the police at Vine-street, and in consequence a detective named Joy was employed, and which led to the apprehension of the prisoners and the discovery of a quan tity of property belonging to himself and partner. Joy, 338 A, said on taking Duncan into custody, and charging him with the robbery, he at first denied it, but afterwards said he " had stolen several things, and was sorry for it." On searching his lodgings at 7, Henry street, Hampstead-road, he found a large quantity of china and glass, which was identified by the prosecutors, in the third-floor room ; and on telling his wife that he had reason to believe she had a large basketful of articles in the cellar she denied it, but on his getting the key he there found the basket crammed full of various articles of china and glass. He afterwards, at his mother's lodgings, 4, Ville-street, Camden-town, found a quantity of articles belonging to the prosecutor ; and afterwards, on taking Maguire into custody, and searching his lodgings, found a large quantity of articles, consisting of china vases, glasses, &c. Maguire at first denied it, but afterwards admitted it, and requested that his wife might not be taken into custody. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoners for a week. THAMES. MASQUERADING.—Hannah Johnson, in the character of Richard the Third, who made up a very good representa tion of the crook-ba'cked tyrant, aria Susannah Blyth, in the character of Columbine, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly and riotous. There was a masquerade at the Rose and Crown public house, in Ratcliff Highway, which the parochial authorities in their infinite wisdom have re-named St. George-street, last night, and all the elite of " the Highway" as it is termed par excellence, were there. The music ceased at twelve, and the prisoners and a few roughs and sailors who had attende I the masquerade sallied out on a spree, and were skylarking until three o'clock this morning, when the liquor they had been drinking got the better of their dis cretion, and they began fighting. Columbine knocked down the King, and his Majesty, on getting up, returned. the :compliment, and sent Columbine into the gutter. The police arrived, put an end to the fight, and transferred the masqueraders to the station-house. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the constable who had charge of the case said the prisoners were women of the town, but did not use any bad language, and the magistrate ordered them to be discharged. Alice Whitehead, another of the frail sisterhood, in a splendid dress, and who said she was the nymph of the wave, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. Donald Mcßay, a police-constable, No. 2751, produced: a large tambourine, decorated with blue a n th d ts w morn n in b g and said that at half-past two o'clock this the large con th co ie ur ve ' s. She was play pprirossotinteurtwecs inandßataeliff-highway, followed of by sa fi il ft or e s e , n o o t o h a e l. r whippers, costermongers, and "the Highway" mob, ing the tambourine. some festivity last night, r Mr. Selfe—There wa s disorderly t hon He madedispersed o ti n s e s , a and of very r y took bad language, the p risoner i w n h t c h u s w t o a s d ya very S h e suppose ? t o t f ho th ß e o ll se atvAiscioronw—snToh.nerthe owHalgahmwaays-. The prisoner, a tall, large woman, who would h ave qu l e n ra s d p e ec l t as or t D ni e g n h d t y a , enacted the part of Bellona better than a nymph of the wave, said the sailors treated her with too much liquor at the Rose and Crown. Mr. Selfe—Because :you were the nymph, of the V(dtVe. If you can afford to wear such a splendid dress as theA, you can afford to pay a fine of 20s. The money was paid. It is stated from St. Petersburg that the rate of interest on the deposits in the hands of the Impel" ial Bank will be reduced from 3 to 2 per cent., and that aft er the Ist o f January next no compound interest will be a ) Y owed. 25_621 Share
