John Francis, Patrick Ilurley, sen., and Patrick Hurloy, jun., workmen at a new building in Mincing -lane, were charged with stealing four dozen of Madeira and port wines, the property of Messrs. Dawson and Co., from their wine cellars. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Blackhill, of Messrs. Dawson and Co.'s, Detective Pearse, and other witnesses, that the prisoners were employed in building the adjacent house, 14, Mincing-lane; that a hole was made in the wall fin d the wine taken out of the cellars. The prisoners were all found drunk on the premises when taken into custody. The Lord Mayor fined Francis £3 or two months' im prisonment, and Hurley 30s. or six weeks' imprisonment. The boy Henley was discharged. James Kirkham, clerk and collector, was charged with fraudulently receiving and embezzling £1,550 of the monies of the Inland Revenue Commissioners, and forging the certificate of the Commissioners. The receipt of the money and forgery was proved, and the prisoner was remanded till Monday week. THE NINE BOU.RS' MOVEMENT. Yesterday an aggregate meeting of all the men out of work, convened at the instance of the Con ference of the United Building Trades, was held in the music-hall of the Surrey-gardens, to take into consideration the determination of the Central As sociation of Master Builders, announced after 'the meeting of their executive committee on Tuesday, to enforce " the obnoxious document" on Monday next upon all men resuming work under them. The handbill announcing the meeting concluded with this appeal : " Fellow workmen, —Fail not to attend and show your strength, and be ready to make a determined stand till the master builders withdraw what would be your badge of slavery." The presence of some 7,000 or 8,000 men, all of whom were admitted by ticket and the air of calm de termination which pervaded them as a body, varied occasionally by ebullitions of enthusiastic feeling, attested the response made to this invitation. Among them were a number of non-society men— how many it would be impossible to state. There were also, it is said, some master builders present ; but it may be fairly assumed that three-fourths, or by far the greater proportion at least, of the vast assembly were society men and adherents of the nine hours' movement. The meeting was called for 11 o'clock, but a* hour before that time the men began to assemble. It was at first intended to hold the meeting in the open air, within the gardens, but a slight shower of rain beginning to fall as the proceedings were about to commence, the men were requested to repair to the music-hall. Assembled there, the spectacle was not a little imposing. The floor of the building and tho first and second galleries were densely crowded. There were but few in the upper gallery. The men gene rally, the younger and careless portion of them especially, were in excellent spirits ; and the marked decorum which prevailed, with the air of intelligence which characterized them, was calcu lated to make one feel proud of them as a body. At 11 o'clock the leadingmembers of the Conference, accompanied by Mr. Potter, their secretary, a slim, pale-faced young man, with light hair, and not more apparently than 24 or 25, and who is a work ing joiner, made their appearance on the platform. They were received with a round of enthusiastic cheers. • Mr. POTTER, the secretary of the conference, moved the first resolution. It was as follows : " The Executive Committee of the Central Association. of Master Builders having determined to open their esta blishments on Monday next with the obnoxious ' document,' although it has been condemned by all classes of society asThoth arbitrary and unjust, this meeting, consisting of society and non-society men, and supported by the working classes of the country, publicly declares that it would be degrading to themselves and insulting to those by whom they are supported to resume work in any shop or on any job where the document' is presented, and pledges itself not to do so unless it is unconditionally withdrawn." After adverting to the repeated attempts at media tion with the masters made on the part of the men themselves, and by influential persons in their inte rest, but all in vain, Mr. Potter proceeded to say that the " document" had been condemned by the general opinion of the country as arbitrary and un just, and he put it to the meeting whether they were now engaged ? (No, no.) The resolution having been seconded, was put and carried by acclamation, the whole of the vast assem bly holding up their hands for it to a man. Mr. POTTER explained that the secretary to the builders' foremen had communicated to him the resolution agreed to at their meeting on the motion of Mr. Carpenter : " That, in order to bring about an amicable settlement of the existing dispute, the interests of both employers and employed would be consulted by a spirit of mutual conces sion, and thit, inasmuch as neither the nine hours' move ment on the part of the men nor the declaration re quired by the masters was approved by the public or de manded by the times, both the one and the other should be withdrawn and the trade operations resumed." He (Mr. Potter) trusted they (the men) would never agree to such a concession, for if they did they would loose everything, and the masters would gain everything. On the motion of Mr. CRAPPER, seconded by Mr. PATCHETT (both artisans), the concession sug gested by the resolution of MrCarpenter, agreed to at the meeting of builders' foremen in St. ames's-hall —namely, that the men should withdraw from the nine hours' agitation on condition of the masters giving up the declaration—was unanimously re jected. The proceedings, which lasted an hour and a-half, then terminated with three ringing cheers being given for the nine hours' movement. THIS DAYS MARKETS COVENT -GARDEN .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.-Wm. Smith, 16, described as a bricklayer's hawkboy, and who gave a false address, was charged with the following daring robbery : Daniel James, in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Jennings, lead merchant, &c., of 32, Tottenham-court-road, said that he was at the back of his master's shop on the previous evening, about six o'clock, when he saw the prisoner deli berately walk in, seize up a can containing five gallons of linseed oil, of the value of 18s. 6d., and walk off with it. He immediately went after him, and on asking what he was going to do with it, he coolly replied, "What's that to do with you." He then seized him, and on a constable coming up gave him into custody. Benjamin Amies, 343 A, said he saw the last witness with the prisoner, and on his giving him into his (the con stable's) custody he said, "It's all right." The prisoner gave an address, but he found it to be false. Mr. Bingham asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything. In reply to which he said he had never been at the court before. Committed for trial. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A FrmArE.—John Burns, a middle-aged man, and powerfully made, was charged with the following savage assault on Mary Jones, a feeble looking woman with whom he cohabited. Complainant, previous to being sworn, expressed her un willingness to press the charge ; but the magistrate ob serving the state of her cheeks, which were much swollen, and that she had two black eyes, said he raust hear her statement. _ _ . She was then sworn, and stated that she had been living with the prisoner about 12 months, and that during a great portion of that time he had ill-used her repeatedly. He had frequently struck her with his fists. Magistrate—What did he do last night ? Complainant—He came home when he was in liquor, and he struck me with his fists. Magistrate—Did he knock you down P Complainant—He did, air; and when I was down he then struck me. lam very much hurt. (She seemed in great pain.) Sergeant Cox, of the K division, said this was the third time that the prisoner had been charged by com plainant with having assaulted her, and that she would never press the case. The magistrate remarked that it was a most cowardly assault, and that he (prisoner) must be punished. I shall send you to the House of Correction for six weeks. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. A SUICIDAL MONOMANIAC. — Maria Simpson, a young woman of a pleasing cast of countenance, was charged with being disorderly in the street. Police Sergeant K 22, said that he was on the previous night on duty, when he saw the prisoner, who was known to him from her previous misconduct, causing a disturb- I ance. She had been drinking, and as he could not prevail upon her to be quiet, he was compelled to take her to the station-house. Inspector Griffin said that the prisoner had not been long in the cell before she attempted to commit suicide, as she had done before. Only a short time ago she was charged before your worship for attempting self-destruction. • Mr. Selfe--I recollect I sent her to prison, and after a little while she succeeded in inducing the chaplain of the gaol to believe that she repented the act. He wrote to me, when I remitted the remainder of her punishment, expecting a reformation had taken place, and this is how she acts. The inspector stated that he believed she had attempted suicide at least twenty times, and that, whenever she was brought to the station-house, he was always obliged to have two constables to watch her. On the previous night, he placed two outside the door of her cell. They were not there long before they suspected that she was attempting to destroy her life. They went into the cell, and found her with a piece of riband tied tightly round her throat. They cut the riband. She was held to bail for six months. GOOD NEWS FOR SHOPKEEPERS. A NEW AND IMPORTANT SOCIETY. In consequence of the great increase in shoplifting offences, some of the leading members of the drapery and other trades have taken steps to prevent as far as possible the committal of this class of crime, and to obtain the most severe punishment possible for such persu,ns who may be prosecuted. Accordingly a society entitled the " Society for the protection of Shopkeepers from Shoplifters" has been formed under most influential auspices. Yesterday two cases were successfully prosecuted under the direction of the company, by Mr. Orridge as counsel, instructed by Mr. Warrand as solicitor, at the Wandsworth and Hammersmith Police-courts. Mr. Thomas Matthews, Mr. Bryant, and Mr. Nibbett, of Notting-hill, were the sufferers in one case ; and Mr. Banks, of Clapham. rise, in the other. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and begged hard to have the eases summarily disposed of. Mr. Orridge addressed the bench at considerable length, and said the prisoners ought to be committed ;for trial. Shopkeepers had suffered from this kind of depredation quite long enough, and they were determined to check it. It was for this very reason that the society had been instituted, and it was determined in every case to prosecute offenders to the full extent. The magistrates (Messrs. Dayman and Paynter) admitted the force of the remarks, and appreciated the use of the society by committing the prisoners, named Susan Green, 20, and Robert Downs, 40, respectively to the Westminster and Surrey Sessions for trial.

EMIGRATION.—In the year 1858 18,159 persons emigrated from this country, through the agency of the Emigration Commission, at an expense to the Commis sioners of £252,750—viz., 6,496 to New South Wales, 5,504 to Victoria, 3,712 to South Australia, 198 to Western Aus tralia, 14 to Tasmania, 2,034 to the Cape, and 201 to Natal. Besides the emigration from the United Kingdom, there emigrated under the control of the Emigration Commis sioners, 7,157 persons from the East to the West Indies, and 811 persons from the West to the East Indies. The cost of this emigration being defrayed almost entirely in the colonies, the commissioners are unable to state its amount. In connection with the emigration conducted by the c ommissioners, they are public accountants to a large amount. The sums received and expended by them in 1858 were £331,077, and £312,878 respectively. And, besides the superintendence of emigration from the United Kingdom and the enforcement of the Passengers' Act in reference to private ships, as well as ships chartered by themselves, it is their duty to watch the operation of the Passengers' Act, and to suggest and prepare any bills or orders in counci l which may be required with reference to emigration ; to superintend the Indian, Chinese, and other immigra tion into the West Indies, and the return emigration from the West Indies to India ; to report on all laws, ordinances, and regulations made in the West Indies or Mauritius on the subject of Coolie or Chinese emigration • to advite the Secretary of State on all Colonial Acts for the management of Crown lands, the regulation of emigration, and kindred subjects; to report (as regards the colonies in which the management of the land has not been surrendered to the local Government) , on all claim s to land , and regulations for its disposal; to furnish the public with information respecting emigration, the disposal of land, the rates of Iwages, &c., in all the colonies, for which purpose they pub lish annually a general report and a colonisation circular ; and lastly, to prepare and execute contracts in respect to mines or land in the colonies, or any other contracts which th e Secretary of State may direct.

ELECRTIO TEL It has already been stated that a few days ago telegraphic communication in France was inter rupted for several hours at a time through the in terference of atmospheric electricity. The same phenomena were observed at the telegraphic sta tions of Piedmont, and at Turin especially experi ments were made to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the disturbance. On the 2d, an electric current of extraordinary intensity, and varying its direction every moment, manifested itself on the lines of Pig- Mondovi, and Savoy. The needles of Wheat stone's apparatus and of the common horizontal com pass deviated strongly from their normal position, sometimes to the right, and sometimes to the left ; the keys in Morse's apparatus remained fixed to their respective axes, which acquired strong polarity, sometimes in one sense, and sometimes in another. An apparatus of resistance having been placed in the line in order to determine the degrees of these anomalous currents, the water of the apparatus was decomposed instead, and sudden changes of direc tion occurred with an intensity which in the com mon vertical reoscope, varied between 10 and 60 de grees. The two ends of the wire being unscrewed, and then turned towards each other at a short dis tance, large sparks were obtained. At Turin au extra ordinary regularity was observed in the angles of deviation of the magnetic needles, their constant return to the magnetic meridian, where they stop ped an instant or two, and lastly, their declining again with diminished force. The du\ation of each current was ascertained to be sixty seconds ; the interval between each thirty. The currents com menced at five a.m., and went on decreasing in intensity until they finally ceased at three p.m. The telegraph office at Milan soon afterwards an nounced that a powerful waterspout had broken over the country between Castel Pusterlengo and Pizzighettohe on the 31st ult., and had destroyed five kilometres of the telegraphic line between those two places.

ELOPEMENT FROM THE SULTAN'S HAREM. It has been stated that the master of the Sultan's band, an Italian, had arrived at Geneva with his wife, a beautiful Circassian. According to a letter from Constantinople, this female, whose name is Sersafras Hanum, was for some time in the harem of the Sultan, and was one of his favou rites. " One day," says the letter, " she called for her carriage, and, accompanied by two female slaves and a male attendane, went to Ortakie. There she stopped at a house which she in dicated, and she was received by two females with marks of the most profound respect. She entered the house followed by the two slaves, while the other remained at the door. She was introduced into a sumptuously-furnished drawing room, and these she dismissed the two slaves, who went with the domestics of the house to an apart ment, where they were entertained with cakes, cigarettes, andtoffee. Two of the domestics quitied the room from time to time as if to see that nothing was wanted in the drawing-room, and after a while they all left. The two female slaves continued to amuse themselves with their coffee and cigarettes. At last, getting surprised at not seeing any o the servants return, they went out in their turn and finding all quiet advanced on tiptoe to the drawing-room. Hearing no noise they en tered, and to their astonishment found that their mistress had disappeared. They called out, but received no answer—the house seemed deserted. They then commenced a search in the different rooms, and presently found in a boudoir their mistress's dress. They were thunder:truck—as it was evident that she had fled ! Then then raised loud cries, and the male attendant entered. Hearing what had happened, he searched the house throughout but was unable to discover the fair favourite. Hastening back to the harem, he told the black aga of her disappearance. That functionary in his tut n went and searched the house with great minuteness, but could not find any trace of the Circassian, but after a while he perceived that the house opened on the port. An investigation having been instituted, it was ascer tained that several persons dressed in European style had been seen in a calque near the house, and had suddenly left in it. It also turned out that a handsome Italian, named Guatelli, director of the music at court, had disappeared. The kiosque of the fugitive was examined—the gold, silver, jewellery, and sumptuous presents of all kinds which the Sultan had made her had been carried off. The beautiful Sersefras, it is said, possesses a splendid voice, which the Sultan admired greatly ; and, as she has gone away with an Italian maestro, it is not improbable that she may some day appear in the theatres of Western Europe." AN ELOPEMENT—A WAR—A PEACE.—A young couple from 'Wilmington, Virginia, desired marriage, but the father of the girl objected to the match. The two then took their departure for South Carolina, but were overtaken by the old gentleman ; pistols were flourished, and the young lady wept, though she still expressed a decided preference for death over a single li that fe. the Finally the father gave his conse nt, only stipulating wed ding should be postponed till the mother could arrive to bless the nuptials. This reasonable request was agreed to, tears were dried, pistols were uncocked, and the whole party went to a family dinner at the nearest hotel.—Boston Courier. CHINA AND JAPAN.—The correspondence relative to the Earl of Elgin's special missions to China an blue-bo d Japa ok n, 18,57-18 59 , was p ublished yesterday, in a bulky of 400 pages, presented to the House of Commons by corn • wand of her Majesty, in pursuance of their address, dated July 15, 1859. The dates of the correspondence extend from the 20th of April, 1857, to May 19, 1859. The corre spondence is chiefly confined to matters of detail, and its interest has, in a great measure, been superseded by the publication of news from China, arriving in the ordinary course. The Earl of Elgin in his last despatch, dated April 19th last, announces that " the secret edict" at tributed to the Emperor of China is a forgery, and alludes to the publication of the , consequent Imperial decree, which is regarded as a most important docu ment, proclaiming to the whole empire the Imperild inten tion to abide by the terms of the peace of Tien-tsin. The . Earl of Elgin's language to Count gili P rs o o u flio t p i ce a in t . i i n oTn e h , te t ha h c e to ß nuno u tt s h s wi i n a as n a veenvoy,ry de c ided wasapproved expression the e sßi o F n o r o e f i ent unless pressure couldwee broughtb e done with be t e u C p o h i n n e l ; Pekin itself, and that the use of vessels drawing but little water would be the best means of making such pressure effective. The Earl of Elgin told his t hofa t d he a E ciu n a g r l r is e h l bo w fu e tt re thheai p rt r wo et h ty en s t t thao ro se n t g tauff in earr s w u th c a h es E n cr e x a i f c g t e h ,T ur a c t y h th oo t e ha y d concluded they should be Hongkong , repared' to go northward in force, andvery glad to be accompanied by the flags of other European nations actuated by the same interests. This was in Novembe r , 1857. The state of the public p risons at Canton was consid e red so disgraceful (June, 18 58 ) as to warrant a strong expression of opinion from the Earl of Malrnesbury, the official report sent to his lordship appears fully to confirm the statements that have appeared in this journal, BU 'ES. Subjoined is a further communication on the affairs of Buenos Ayres. It describes the naval force of Urquiza and the treacherous proceedings to which he is resorting ; also his relations with Chili and the prospect of his getting pecuniary aid from th t quarter.:— 1 The position of Buenos Ayres, in regard to the A entine Confederation, has not improved since the last mail left this for Europe. The Buenos A3frean steamer General Pintos, commanded by a revecta.ble Italian, Senor Muratore, when off the Rdsario, was the scene of one of those acts of,trea ch' ry for -whi c h the people of these countries are so i nfamous: A sergeant, with some 24 or 2 5 men, m tinied, shot the captain's son, and, having secured thp father and driven the other o ffi cers below, ran thb vessel into the harbour, and delivered her to the Argentine authorities. The veracious newspapers under their influence describe the sorrow of Urquiza as' quite affecting. He was obliged to leave the paler old father to shed tears in private for the un tieaely fate of a brave young man ! How changed must that man be who ordered and witnessed the murder of several hundred prisoners at India Muerte a few years ago, not by shooting them, but by cutting their throats. A smaller steamer, called the Buenos Ayres, seeing the desertion of the Gene ral Pintos, - returned immediately to Buenos Ayres , not without risk of being sunk by Urquiza's shot from the shore, several of which she received in her hull. Senor Susini, a lieutenant of Garibaldi when he was out here, now commands the Buenos . Ayres navy. His own vessel was very nearly the scene of a similar act of treachery, but the leader was seized, tried by a court martial, and shot. It should be observed that the sergeant who headed the mutiny on board the General Pintos has been ostentatiously promoted and rewarded by Urquiza. With the four steamers of war in Montevideo, another vessel shortly expected, and what he has in the Parana, including the General Pintos,Urquiza possesses 10 very respectable war vessels, and he may attempt to force the passage of the narrow channel commanded by the Island of Martin Gar cia. The island is well garrisoned by troops, who, it is believed, can be depended upon and contains several heavy pieces of artillery. It is reported that the - buoys have been displaced to render the navigation difficult, if not dangerous. The differen tial duties no longer exist. This is beneficial so far that the markets are open to all, but the differential duties were not strictly exacted previously. For instance, a vessel with wine was admitted for Mon. tevideo, and the cargo, consisting of pipes, was despatched as half pipes by the special orders of Urquiza. It is said Urquiza has an agent at Val paraiso who there receives duties on good to pass into the provinces of the Confederation over the Cordilleras, and so advantageous is that trade considered by the Government of Chili, that they are likely to advance him a loan of two millions of duros. He has gladly relieved the Chilians of many of their revolutionists by incor porating them in his own forces, and he has already some 500 of them at Santa Fe. It is said that he has in arms altogether about 7,000 men, although his Withaloanslipapersnotwithstanding and a speak ararelel ptat hes e ei(asiet o w f a i the preparations, tdht i r hsces e yoou t mb im neet a e aor s fp that apfnrrhooo number . imagmchh4iolraitterpsyuc 1 0 nfop li peeit i ernu s rte eaa la el o vrini c teotysn. local of importance is expected to take place before October. The northern part of the province of Buenos Ayres has suffered most Severely from drought. This was followed by heavy rains, suc ceeded by unseasonably warm weather. The grass was burnt as soon as it sprung up, and it is computed that from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 sheep and 1,500,000 cattle have perished. If this estimate be near the truth, the loss may be put down at £5,000,000 stering. Besides the 20,000,000 dols. which the Go vernment was authorised to raise on loan since I last wrote, they have been empowered to add to the cur rency 30,000,000 dols. This, however, does not appear materially to affect its value, for doubloons are not worth more than 365 at present. The American Minister, Mr. Yancey, it is said, is indefatigable in his endeavours to bring about peace between Buenos Ayres and Urquiza, but it is not believed that he will be successful: Few people doubt that if Urquiza could be certain that he would not be molested after the term of his President ship—and his fears are for the Buenos Ayreans— he would readily make peace. Nearly all the pro duce has been brought up for shipment to Europe at high prices. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Mersey does not give universal satisfaction. The paddle-wheels are said to be much too small to made headway against the strong winds occa sionally experienced on the pas sage from Rio Janiero. It is believed the discarded Camilla would have done better than the Mersey the last voyage. The latter vessel is considered more adapted - to navigate in smooth water than rough seas. Exchange 655. to 655. 6d. the doubloon." RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

A STEAMBOAT BErRNT.—On Thursday morning about two o'clock, an alarm was given that the steamboat Olive, one of the tugs belonging to the Commissioners of the river Wear, and then lying in the half-tide basin of the sea outlet to Sunderland Docks, was on fire. Dense volumes of smoke were at that time issuing from the fore part of the steamer, which was immediately boarded by the dock mas ter and his assistants. Great exertions were made to extin ma an seeing v h l , o hu that of v the t h e e , guish the fire-without moving the vessel; but this was r found to be impossible, upon which she was shifted into t w h h e o o l u e te of r th b e as h in u i g u r fl ea am t ane d sd i . ffi Tw l e l h t difficulty, ei n , dwiasscosvuecrycesosffulthleYfiarcecothmeptushrniedng, mass was scuttled. It is fortunate that no explosion occurred, as there was steam in lawwasortkheonf the boiler during all the time of the conflagration. The heat on board was so intense that the vessel's engines and machinery were red-hot. All was right on board the Olive a short time before the fire. No loss will fall upon the Com missioners of the Wear, as the steamer was fully insured in the County fire-office. RESIGNATION OF SIR CHAPMAN MARSHALL.—It is with regret we announce that it is the determination of Sir Chapman Marshall, Knt., to resign his Aldermanic gown, and with it all official connexion with the Ward of Bridge Within. Tie was elected Alderman Jan. 18th, 1832, succeeded Alderman Garrett. He served as Sheriff in 1830, and was Lord Mayor in 1839. It is probable Sir Chapman will make known his intention to the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday week,—City Press. ow ;al's eel' rer tilt! be Pro rota tolt Bing
