----- NONEv MAREET AND CITY IVETS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has been rather less inquiry for discount accommodation during the last few days, in conse quence of an immediate advance in the rate of dis count being no longer expected. Should the efflux of gold, however, be resumed, a rise would no doubt ensue ; and, as extensive supplies of foreign prod= continue to arrive, some movement of the kind may eventually take place, notwith standing the present abundance of money and the moderate requirements of trade. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness continued rather quiet, but prices were steady. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. At the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company yesterday a dividend of £2 per share was declared. A dividend of 2s. per share was agreed to at the meeting of the Sambre and Meuse Railway Company yesterday. The directors of the Calcutta and South Eastern Railway Company have made a final call of 12 per share payable on or before the 20th proximo, The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, made no alteration in their rate of discount. At the commencement of business this morning the English Stock Market presented a dull and heavy appearance ; but since the adjournment of the Bank Court, an advance of about 1 per cent. has taken place, Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and 931 1 for account. Business, however, con tinues very Quiet. The New Threes and the Re duced are steady at 911 i; Bank Stock is at 2291 and 231, and India ditto at 221 ; ditto New Loan has receded to Mt ; ditto 5 per Cent. Entaced Paper to 951 96; and Exchequer Bills remain at 2s. dis. tO 2s. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices tend upwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701, to 701; ditto New, 55 to 56; the 4 per Cents. are 1011 ; Spanish are firmer at 49, ditto Deferred at 40, Dutch 4 per Cents. at 100, Portuguese at 441, and Russian 3 per Cents. at 64k I, but the 5 per Cents. are flat at 104, and Sardinian at 85k. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 to 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 4 1 prem. ; and the Universal, a prem. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1860. 1859.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a rather restricted scale, and in some instances prices have shown rather less firmness. Great Western, North-Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South Easterns have declined 10s. ; Great Northern and Midland, however, have advanced ss. to 10s. In the Foreign Market there has been no change of importance. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian realise 111, Great Luxemburg GI, and Antwerp and Rotterdam, s:i. The Colonial undertakings have continued steady, with the exception of the Grand Trunk of Canada, which have shown a further depression, viz., at about i to 1 per cent., dealings being re corded at 251 to 261. Great Western of Canada are steady, at 131 131 ; East Indian, at 100; and Great Indian Peninsula, at 961. _ Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in very limited request.

" Dear Sir,—The Importance of making the Conserva tive press more efficient is part well acknowledged, that an effort has been made by a yof Conservative members of Parliament and gentlemen, consisting of Viscount P lngestre, M.P., Major Edwards, Mr. Stirling, M.., T. J. Miller, Esq., M.P., R. N. Fowle r, Esq , and Coleridge J. Kennard, Esq. (with the approval of the heads of the party), to assist in securing success to those organs of the press which advocate Conservative principles. Amongst the weekly papers the Pres s has, after a long and etrcial examination, b een selected as worthy of support. We,, therefore, now venture to appeal to the great Conservative party to make a small sacrifice for the purpose of giving efficiency to the recom mendations of the Committee by taking the Press for ens year. Arrangements have been made to secure for this organ the earliest and best information, and we are assured by the editor that an increased circulation will enable him to obtain the best possible writers. We take the liberty of sending for your signature a. form authorising the paper to be sent to you ; and shall feel obliged if you will at your earliest convenience return it, dated, to Viscount Ingestre, M.P., directed 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, W.C. , who will see that your wishes are attended to.—We are, dear sir, yours. faithfully, " " HENRY INGESTRIS E , DWARDS, ) 1 Joint Secretaries." • The following is from an article in the Verona Gazette, the Austrian organ in Italy :—" See Naples and die! Such is the'crykwhich you [the person addressed is Victor Emmanuel] will hear from the mouths of the Laz aaroni of Santa Lucia. •To that cry, the deathknell of your own ambition, a terrible response will shortly be given by the three tamarch.g assembled at Warsaw." • - r stock stock 12 30 stock StO( stn , ,k 1 .:.J Share!

(Before the Lord Chief Baron.) THE STEPNEY MURDER. The trial of James Mullins, the man charged with the wilful murder of Mrs. Mary Ernsley, having been fixed for this morning, fee attendance in court was very great. Although some additional seats had been provided in the court for visitors, yet the accommodation was inadequate. Immediately after the Lord ,Chief Baron had taken his seat on the bend, The prisoner, James Mullins, was placed in the dock, and charged with having wilfully murdered a female named Mary Emsley, residing at No. 9, Grove-road, Mile-end. He pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Orridge, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended the prisoner. From the copious reports that have already appeared in The Sun of the examination of the prisoner at the coroner's inquest, and before the magistrate at the Thames Police Court, it will be unnecessary, on the present occasion, to republish the whole of the evidence. It will be recollected that the barbarous murder of Mrs. Emsley was committed on or about Monday, the 13th day of August last. She was last seen alive on that day, col lectinei, rents of the tenants of sundry small houses, and she is supposed to have received about £4O on that day, and it is believed that this money was the object of the murderer's cupidity. The prisoner was formerly attached to the Irish constabulary, and acted on many occasions as a spy and in former in the prosecution of Ribbonmen and others in Ire land. He was afterwards a sergeant in the K division of Metropolitan police, and was superannuated on a pen sion of £35 per annum. He subsequently obtained em ployment on the South-Eastern Railway, and committed a serious robbery, for which: he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude. After the ex- Oration of his sentence he sought employment of Mrs. Emsley, to whose late husband he was known, and she not knowing his antecedents employed him occasionally is the repairs of the numerous tenements belonging to her. He became well acquainted with her habits, and although she was very cautious with strangers, and would not admit any one without first looking through the window, or going into the area and inquiring their business, Mullins would have no difficulty in procuring admittance, as he was well known to her, and in the practice of calling at hetet-welling on busi ness and to receive payment for hiS services. As a great deal of mystery surrounded the horrible deed, a largo reward was offered by the authorities for the discovery of the murderer. Mullins waited on the officers, Tanner and Thornton, engaged in the case, and gave information which induced them to go to a shed adjoining the dwelling occupied by a man named Emma, and pointed out a place where he said Emms had deposited a parcel containing property belonging to the deceased ; and Mullins en arriving at the shed with the detectives, after some parleying, said to Sergeant Thomas, "Pull down that - slab, and turn up those bricks." Thomas did pull down the stone, and behind it found a parcel containing a cheque' for £lO, paid to Mrs. Emsley on the 13th, a plated spoon, and other articles be longing to the deceased. Emms was also in the employ of the deceased, and was well known to the prisoner as a person likely to be admitted into her house, as it was looked upon by the police that some one well acquainted with the habits of the unfortunate woman must have inflicted the wounds which caused her death. On the discovery of the parcel Emms was token into custody, but very shortly after liberated, and the suspicion which had from the first at tached to Muffles as the murderer became much stronger. The police having once got a clue to the discovery of the murderer, set to work meat vigorously and succeeded in obtaining a strong chain of circumstantial evidence against .Mullins. The theory of the prosecution is that Mullins is the murderer, and deposited the parcel in the spot where it was found for the purpose of committing Emma and ob taing the reward of £3OO. The examination of witnesses, of which there are about 50, was proceeding when we went to press. Best has intimated that he does not intend to address the jury to-day; consequently, the trial cannot conclude ;.;,fQI, NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE BRACELET ROBBERY.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CHARGE OF THREATENING A FEMALE. — John Gardner, an envelope maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with annoying a female naiad Jane Bishop, under the following circumstances : From the evidence of the complainant, residing at 2, Upper James-street, it appeared that she had cohabited with the defendant, but had ceased to do so, owing to his ill-treating her and considering her life in danger. He had annoyed her all the previous day. Tho defendant said that on the previous evening they were at Dr. P..riccs',s L.ving wino together, when her brother came and took her away. An elderly female said a message was brought to the com plainant from defendant stating that if she did not go back to live with him (defendant) he would murder her. Another female said she saw the defendant try to thrust the complainant into a cab, at the same time saying, " Come, Jenny, dear, won't you kiss me," and he often threatened to run her through. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he threaten to run her through when he asked her to kiss him ? (Laughter.) The witness—Oh, no ; it was a long while ago. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls there any reasonable person who knows anything of the case ? (To the defendant) —Why do you go after the complainant ? Defendant (with a smile)—Why, to tell the truth, be cause I like her—(laughter)—and the child. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho should bind him over to keep the peace, and if he continued to annoy the complainant, he should order him to find heavy bail. THAMES. DARING ItORDERY IN A SHOP.—William Darby, a dirty-looking follow about 20 years of age, was brought before Mr. Elliott, charged with stealing three pairs of trousers from the shop of Mr. George Grumbridge, an out fitter and draper in Ratcliff Highway. Thomas Harper, a shoprnan in the service of the prose cutor, stated that yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, his attention was called to the prisoner by the foreman of the establishment, to whom the prisoner had tendered a card with the name of Spikes, a boarding-house keeper, upon it, and asked if there were any goods ordered for Mr. Spikes, to which he replied in the negative, and, at the same time saw the leg of a pair of trousers hanging under the prisoner's coat. He told the prisoner he had not received any orders from Mr. Spikes, and. if he did not mind he would lose the property he had about him. The prisoner said, indeed, shall I ; and made an attempt to run out of the shop. He laid:hold. of the prisoner, who burst away from him, and at the same time dropped two pairs of trousers. The prisoner ran out of the shop and dropped another pair of trousers in the street. Ho cap tured the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The trousers had teen stolen from a shelf in the shop. They were worth 155., and the property of Mr. Grumbridge. The prisoner said he was guilty, and committed the rob bery under the influence of dr.nk. Mr. Elliott—That is no excuse at all. You are sen tenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. DREADFUL COAL-PIT ACCIDENTS. TEN LIVES LOST. On Tuesday, three colliers, named Henry Smith, Joseph Siveter, and Josiah Chivers, were working in the Bear Moor Colliery at Corngreaves, in the parish of Rowley Regis, South Staffordshire, when a fall of coal took place, killing the three men in stantly. Yesterday, an accident, which resulted in the death of two men, occurred at the Portway-road Axle-tree Works, Wednesbury. A new engine had been recently laid down, but as a more plentiful supply of water was necessary, two men, named Thomas Bishop and James Grayley, were employed in constructing a cistern at the bottom of a shaft. Bishop wits about to descend the shaft yesterday morning, and Grayley was assisting, when the rope by which the descent vas to be made caught one of the nuts of the coupling-box, the result of which was that the two mon were dragged into the machinery, and their bodies so fright fully mangled that they died shortly after wards. Bishop had lis legs completely severed from his body ; while Grayley had one of his legs broken and his skull fractured. A third accident occurred at the Benstone Col liery, near Johnstone, Lanarkshire, on Tuesday. The pit was flooded with water from the old work ings in the neighbourhood, and at least five lives, it is suspected, have been sacrificed. At the time the alarm was given there were about fifty men and boys in the workings. Some forty of them were working near to the spot when the water had come in upon them, and they at once made for the bot tom of the shaft—all t eaching it safely but a boy, who was overtaken 135 the advancing stream and drowned. Efforts.were at once mad e t o ra i se the ole forty could be got out they had to cling on tie ropes attached to the cage, m b p ef i o pit mouth o th u e th ,iih rise en t t h o a t t he ; but so quickly itia th e wa t er and raise themselves tp. Two miners, wor ki ng in. a separate part of pit, were saved after the water had risen withn a foot of the roof at the 'bottom of the shaft ; ether four, who were in a still farther distant portioi of the workings, it is all but certain must have pershed. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Majesty's Emi gration Conamie-sioners hive given notice of their intention to receive tenders on Thirsday, the Ist pros., for a ship to proceed to Table Bay, Cfpe of Good Hope, to carry not ex ceeding 200 statute aduls, to be ready for the reception of her passegers about the Uth December. Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts in to-day's market was limited, the demand for all breeds ruled heavy in the extreme at almost nominal currencies. We were scantily supplied with sheep; nevertheless, the mutton trade was in a depressed state at barely Monday's decline in the quotations. For calves—the show of which was good—the inquiry was much restricted, at a further de cline in value of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The top price was 4s Bd. Some small pigs realised full prices, but large breeds were drooping. Mulch cows ;commanded very little attention. s. d. s. d.

GB 'ASSA 4.M 'IC4. The steera (Fi g:p m a t s i s es ag l e m ott n m A a mer be made ical") either in . a sailing ship or steamer. Liv y erpool is the great port of depa r t ure for both, and the best starting point, particula r ly i n the beginning or the close of the year. In the sum mer be Channel b season, a departure from London is perhaps t o preferredforthtaefit is neview of the coast of the English ob tained; but London only offers the choice of a pas saggeeTo make th e Ch anne l voy age vessel.a i mer,So Southampton is the port of a by y y a de parture, and from that po r t a e p rm as a s n ag e st m ea a m y er b s e . made in United States or G The Irish steamers present the attractions of the Irish coast, and the shortest sea voy a ge. Whether the passenger takes a steamsli p or a sailing vessel, the steerage is muc h the same in both. It is the forward part o f the ship, between decks, and although fitted up with common deal boards, it is always very com fortable, both in winter and summer. In fact, no fire is needed nor supplied. Between the steerage of different steamboats and sailing ships there incon siderable difference if privacy is desired, and intend ing emigrants must, as a rule, judge for themselves between one ship and another. In somo ships and steamboats the berths rise from the floor to the ceil ing, without partitions of any kind, and the only privacy that is obtained is by the hanging up of a curtain; while in some steamboats and sailing vessels the steerage is formed into different state rooms or compartments with closing doors. When this latter is the case, the unmarried men are put into a state room by themselves, and the unmarried females with the married people in the other state rooms. This is by far the most comfortable arrange ment, although the best of feeling invariably exists where the separation is of the more slender kind. One of the excellent requirements of recent le gislation is, that the steerage passengers, and in fact all .the passengers on board every ship, must be served with a given quantity of provisions weekly ; and the quantity it may be said is amply sufficient for all wants. There is so much beef, pork, flour, beans, peas, oatmeal, and tea and sugar, and other things, and a fire is provided on deck at which the passengers cook for them selves. This is usually undertaken by one of the passengers who is willing to receive a gratuity from the others; and when the passengers are very numerous, it not unfrcquently happens that the captain remits the passage money of the person or persons who undertake this duty. This cooking of the provisions necessitates the providing of cooking utensils by the pas sengsrs ; and it may be added, that although the ship supplies all that is needed by the passen gers in the way of food, there arc a few luxuries which experience shows the wisdom of taking at least with every family. These are potatoes, a box of herrings, a ham or two, a little arrowroot, and extra sugar. With these a steerage passage may be undertaken with more comfort than might gene rally be supposed. Nothing more serious than cooking food and eating and sleeping distracts the attention of the passenger, after he has got over the first day or two of sickness. In steam-vessels there is this difference, that the food is served out cooked to the passengers; and steamers charging rather more than double for the voyage, and doing it in less than half the time, they are able to supply a few luxuries in the eating way, and steam steerage passengers are not under the necessity of providing extras. Passengers will usually meet with people full of information on board the vessel in which they make the voyage, but they should form soliething like a definite plan of proceeding before setting out, and not be easily diverted from it. If they have made up their minds to go to Canada or the Western States, they should go and set to work the moment they arrive, and face all difficulties and overcome them. Nowhere has the poor man so many chances of getting on as in America, but the truth cannot be too often repeated, that work ing people are what is wanted, or people with money and brains enough to know how to use it. Such can soon turn the wilderness into a garden, and raise their families to a state of comfort and independence which they cannot reach at home.

Hind, in a letter to the Times, says:— Several inquiries have been lately addressed to me with reference to the present state of our knowledge of the secular inequalities of the earth's orbit, and its bearing upon the general change of climate which some geologists recognise and attribute to a great variation in the obliquity of the ecliptic. I have reason to believe that the results of the most recent and complete investigation on the subject, that of M. Leverrier, are but little known except to astronomers in this country. Independently of those inequalities in the orbits of the planets which are termed "periodic," and which go through their variations in a few hundred years at the utmost, there is a class requiring periods of vastly greater length for their entire exhibition, which aro 'yet within the grasp of the physical astronomer, who can define their limits without the chance of material error. They arise from the slow but accumulative attraction of the planetary system upon each of its members, whereby in a cycle of im mense duration every orbit is more or less dis turbed, though from the nature of the perturba tions the planes and eccentricities are necessarily kept within certain limits. This disturbance it has been M. Leverrier's object to define. In the case of the earth it is shown by the French mathematician that the greatest possible deviation of the plane of the orbit from the position it occu pied in 1800 is 4 deg. 52 min. one way or the other, end it is easy to see from the form adopted in the calculations that this result is not liable to an uncertainty of more than five or six minutes. Hence it follows, that the greatest possible dis tance of the tropics from the equator is 28 deg. 20 min., and the least 18 deg. 36 min. The eccentri city is found to attain a maximum included be tween the limits 0.06 and 0.08, the most probable value being 0.078; consequently, assuming the earth's mean distance from the sun to be 95;365,000 miles, the difference between her greatest and least distances may amount to nearly 15,000,000 miles ; while, on the other hand, there is apparently nothing to prevent her orbit becoming, for a time, sensibly circular. This, however, will not take place during the present oscilla tion. After the lapse of about 24,000 years from this epoch, a minimum of 0.003 will be at tained, whereby the difference between the earth's extreme distances will be reduced to 500,000 miles. The followin g table, exhibiting the distances of the tropics from the equator, and the effect of the ellip ticity of the earth's orbit upon her distance f rom the sun, for periods of 10,000 years, reckoning back wards from 1800, is founded upon M. Leverrier's theory. I give his results in this form as being more suitable for a popular communication than that employed in the original memoir : Differences loetween Distance of the the Earth'ssreatet Tropics from and least Distances the Equator. from the Sun.

The police assert their determination not to let the matter drop, and still express confidence in their ultimate success. Mr. Kent has decided to remove to his former residence, Boynton House, near Cors ham, which is his own property, and will probably do so at Christmas. His anxiety to leave is not to be wondered at, when it is remembered how inve terately his house is haunted. Only last Sunday scores of persons found their way to the spot, and one large party of youths entered the premises andt began exploring the grounds.

A. decline, however, of one per cent. took place in. the first and second preference bonds. Subjoined is a statement regarding the critical condition of the company from one of the latest numbers of the Toronto Globe. It is greatly to be regretted that the only information obtained for the nume rous families interested should be through such casual channels, more especially as the proceedings and the fate of the concern are so mixed up with the violent party polities of Canada that whatever is published regarding it in that country is sure in a greater or less degree to represent some angry bias.

The employes of the company have not been paid their salaries —the tradesmen and contractors have pushed in vain for payment of their accounts —the bonds of the company have for some months past lain under protest for non-payment of interest—and last, though not least, rumours have been afloat that the London bankers of the concern, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., and Glyn, Mills, and Co,, ware about to press their claims for im mense balances due to those firms on open account.. These statements have been accompanied with the additional allegation that the lien or mortgage , given in security to the preference bondholders covered the real estate acid track only, and did not include the rolling stock of the line ; and it has been averred that the moment the London bankers ob.! tained judgment the trains on the entire road would. be stepped, and the Government pushed to come to the assistance of the company. " Whether all of these statements are or are not correct this much we believe is certain, that at the Whitby Assizes a judgment has been recovered. against the company by the London bankers above named for the enormous sum of £BOO,OOO sterling. We are also assured that the directors of the Grand. Trunk have brought the condition of their company under the attention of Government, and urgently demand further aid. That they will succeed in their application we ha` c no fear, for, though Mr. Cartier, the Premier, has been long solicitor of the company, and Mr. Galt, the Finance Minister, is deeply concerned in its fate, and Mr. Ross, another member of the Administration, is most improperly president of the road, still it is quite certain that the Government, as now constituted, has not strength left to carry any Relief Bill through Parliament. For the present, fortunately, the public chest is safe from that danger. " Were we inclined to exult over fallen oppo nents, we might now feel tempted to point a moral from the strange history of this Grand Trunk scheme. We might trace the criminal errors com mitted from time to time by the men who have used the road for their own selfish purposes. We might recall the opposition given by this and other journals to their mad procedure at its several stages, and the urgent manner in which we en treated them to stop in their reckless career. We might remind the friends of the road,' so called, how clearly we pointed out the end to which they were hurrying the enterprise, and the utter ruin. they were bringing on thousands of innocent per sons in Europe who had possibly trusted their all to their keeping. We might remind them of the taunts with which our warnings were received and. the bold predictions of the future success that was to cover all our alarms with ridicule ; and we might summon the Galts and the Rosses, the Cayleys and the Cartiers, to the bar of public opinion to palliate, if they could, the disastrous termination to which thus early the scheme has been brought by their mismanagement. " We confess, however, we have no present desire to rake up these scenes of the past, in structive as they are. It is well that those who have striven in the public interest to avert coming evils should have the fact publicly acknowledged When time has established the correctness of their positions; it is equally desirable that those who have forced ruinous measures on the country, in defiance of reason and in spite of solemn protests, should be held to a strict account for their conduct ; and for all this no doubt there is a time coming. But these consi derations are lost for the present in the thought of the injury that must be entailed by the explosion. of so vast a scheme. We have no desire to add to the embarrassment of those who undertake the unravelling of the tangled web. We have no desire to say a word that might injuriously affect the claims of hundreds of small creditors who are urgently looking for their money. But what we hope is, that the entire management of the company from top to bottom will be changed—that it will be placed in hands totally unconnected with pclitics—that the misrepresentations by which it has been bolstered up will be ended, and the real position of the company fearlessly examined and aseertained."—Times' City Article. GRAHAM'S SHOAL. The Malta Times contains the following account of Graham's Shoal, as recently surveyed : " H.M.S. the Argus, Capt. Ingram, has returned to Malta, after effecting a careful survey of the sup posed site of Graham's Shoal, which has long been a. source of much anxiety to commerce. The Argus left Malta for tiis operation on the 29th ult., steer ing for' Girgenti for the purpose of rating her chronometers, and arrived there on the 31st. She started thence in a direct line for Graham's Shoal, as laid down in the Admiralty charts , and reached the supposed site in the evening. The firs t so She ings gave 99 fathoms with a muddy 'steam, to half sounding at intervals of from ten minutes. then proceeded as slowly as possible the soundings an hour, altering her course as was hazy and in creased or decreased.

Soundings were continued at short in tervals till noon next day, the vessel advancing at the slowest possible pace. The least depth of water, 22 fathont; was found at 9 according to sights obtained p.m. ; and this, occurred in latitude 37 deg. 4m. N., longitude 12 deg. 4Sm.

At 11,30 a.m. the marks on shore indicating the exact position of the shoal, 100 fathoms were sounded, and no bottom found. The soundings were continued, with depths ranging from 26 to 150 fathoms, till the afternoon of the 7th, when the Argus put into Mecca to make in quiries of the fishermen there. On the same even ing she again proceeded to the scene of operations and continued sounding till the 9th, the depths varying from 30 to 150 fathoms. As the weather was getting rough the Argus then bore up for Malta, and arrived there on the 10th. The Gir genti fishermen consider that there is a depth of 20 fathoms on the shoal, whilst the Sciacca fisher men say 40 fathoms ; the latter also stated that b t a u c T shoal consisted of cinders and scoriae,whictd heno been gradually dispersing and had p resents The t. danger to shipping for three years , soundings, bottom, as found by Capt.
