SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CITY BETTING.--(THIS DAY.) The Racing Times says :—As might naturally be sup - posed, the great Doncaster St. Leger engrossed almost the entire attention of alt the sporting men in town. The settling of last week being comparatively insignifi cant, and added to which many members of both clubs and Tattersall's departed for the north by the 12 o'clock train, thus affording a poor opportunity to those remaining of doing much business, although, as they did not intend leaving until the five o'clock express, they indulged in the hope of being enabled to square some " bad uns" on their books, but the effort was futile. Several horses in the course of the morning were talked about, and their respective merits and demerits canvassed with a great degree of animation ; but notwithstanding the energy of both their supporters and opponents, their rela tive positions, as will be seen, were not materially affected. Several commissions (and heavy ones too), remained un - executed, owing to the prices not being obtainable, to which the agents were restricted. But the St. Leger did not altogether take up the entire attention of the public, for several of the minor events were ouehed upon with some spirit, as will be seen below ; but although the quotations below would lead any one to sop pes ,; that Fenella and Corona were backed to some extent still the ;3vestments were small in amount.

LAW INTELLIGE.NCE.--(THIS DAY) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACT -JUDGMENT-MATTIIEWS V. CHAMBERLAIN. In this case, his Honour, observing that Mr. Beard and Mr. Buchanan wore in their seats, said he had intended to have given judgment the latter end of the week, but finding he 'Should not be here after Wednesday, he might as well 'deliver judgment atone°, Upon considering the, rule tmder which this action had been brought, hii_Hoßoui : found that the whole point of the case turned upon the words "Upon any free member expressing a desire to quit England, the committee shall have the power," &c. Now, upon looking over the rules his Honour found that the object of the society was to establish a funl for infirm members and for the purposes of superannuation, and in cases where free members had no work a certain sum was raised by contri butions from the members, but the spirit running through the rules was relief to infirm members. Now, there could be no doubt that upon the wording of the rule under which this action was brought, the granting of a certain sum upon any member expressing a desire to quit England was not compulsory. There was a power vested in the com mittee, who could exercise a discretion. Under these cir cumstances there was no dispute, consequently nothing to refer, and defendant must have a verdict. Mr. Beard—As this is a question on which the society are anxious to have your honour's opinion upon the rule, I trust there will be no costs. Mr. Buchanan —I must ask for them. His Honour—Oh, in that case costs must be awarded. HA.RLOCK AND OTHERS (TRUSTEES) V. GOODCHILD (TREA SURER). -THE UNITED TRADE BENEFIT SOCIETY OY LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTERS. This was an action to recover £lO Ss. 5d., money alleged to be due from the treasurer to the society. Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. Lewis for defendant, and Mr. Buchanan for a witness. Mr. Beard opened the case, and was about to call his witnesses when Mr. Lewis said he must have formal proof of the election of trustees. Mr. Beard put in a copy of the certificate lodged with Mr. Tidd Pratt. This copy being si g ned b y the registrar, his Honour ruled that it was admissible. Some further argument ensued, and Mr. Lewis sug gested that the case should be refused. His Honour thought that a very proper course, and added, " They are called friendly societies, but the officers are the most unfriendly persons I ever met with." Mr. Beard and Mr. Buchanan off ered no objection to the suggestion upon the part of their clients, and the case was refused. Mr. Lewis observing that his client did not owe a penny to the society. CORN EXCHANGE. The whole of the country markets held on Saturday were ♦ery dull for wheat, at 2s to 3s qer quarter less money. Barley was a slow inquiry at barely previous rates. Other descriptions of spring corn were heavy, and the turn lower. The flour trade was very dull on easier terms. The continental markets have been somewhat heavy for wheat ; but the demand for the other produce has con tinued tolerably active. In the United States, wheat, maize, and flour have realised more money, owing to the large export demand. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad were large, viz., 35,337 quarters of wheat, 8,873 barley, 48,710 oats, 1,924 rye, 8,071 beans, 660 peas, 1,290 tares, 1,720 linseed, 2,580 rapeseed, 1,120 maize, 270 seeds, 4,531 sacks, and 989 barrels of flour. Rather over 1,000 quarters of English wheat of the pre sent year's crop were on offer in our market to-day, in, with very few exceptions, inferior and damp condition. The low state of the samples prevented any business of im portance from being transacted, even at low prices. This will be evident when we state that the quotations ruled from 44s to 60s per quarter, which rates may be considered 2s to 3s per quarter lower than on Monday last. The few samples of old wheat on offer were held at full prices ; but the demand for time was heavy, at about 2s. per quarter decline. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Nearly all kinds met a dull inquiry, at about 2s per quarter less money. Floating cargaes of grain were very dull, and lower to purchase. New barley was on offer at from 36s to 42s per quarter. The inquiry for foreign was much restricted, at barely late rates. There was less doing in malt, and prices had a drooping tendency. The show of foreign oats was large, and the trade was heavy, at 6d to is per qr less money. Beans and peas were in short supply and heavy request, at barely late rates. The flour trade was very dull, and town millers took orders at 56s per 2801 b. Country flour was is to 2s lower. American was quite is per barrel cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts, fresh up, were very moderate, and in comparatively poor condition. Most breeds sold at fully last week's prices; but the demand for them was by no means active. The best Scots realised quite 5s per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from ether parts of England, 960 various breeds ; from Scot land, 4 Scots ; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep being considerably less than on Monday last, the mutton trade was somewhat active, at an improvement in the currencies of quite 2d per 81bs. The best Downs sold at 5s 6d per 81bs. The lamb trade is now nearly over. However, to-day, it ruled steady, at full prices. We had a fair inquiry for calves—the supply of which was good—at previous rates.

The accounts from the manafacturing districts during the past week have been of an encouraging haracter. The woollen trade of Leeds has shown more activity, and the dealings in heavy cloths for the winter demand has been to an average extent. Wools and yarns, at Bradford, have been inquired for, and in the market for piece goods there has at been more animation. Business at Manchester has shown a marked improvement, owing to the influence of the late favourable weather, the dealings in goods suitable to the India and China markets having considerably increased. There is not much alteration to report in the general state , of busin ess a t L e i cester an d N o tti ng h am . St oc ks, st st, however, are low, but the operatives are now st engaged principally with harvest work. At Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a more animated tone has been apparent ; no material :1: alteration, however, can at present be reported. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues e S t f : active, 01 The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed 0 , with a buoyant appearance, and prices were fully st: maintained. The sales were estimated at 15,000 sti bales, of which 1,000 were for export and 3,000 on Rt speculation. In the Railway Share Market busi- st, ness was restricted, and the quotations of some of st, the principal lines were depressed. st, Owing to the limited inquiry for general pur et - poses, and the abundant supply of money, the rates of discount still tend downwards, business being st reported in first class securities at 3: per cent. Notwithstanding the probability of an augmented demand towards the end of the month there is an :I ; impression that lower quotations will speedily pre vail, especially if the specie movement should con tinue favourable. A further sum of £20,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The amount of specie to be taken out by the st ! Oneida to the Brazils to-day is £35,129, of which st' £21,129 is in gold, and £14,000 is in silver. sty The advices received this morning from New ', t t : York report increased activity in the Money Mar- : ket, and the rates tended upwards. The Stock 8t Market was very dull, and lower prices were cur- i s i t ) : rent, but the exchange on London had advanced to 110 to 110} for 60 days' bills. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 24th August st show an increase of £716 compared with the same :I period in 1859. at The market for English Securities presents a very si dull appearance, and further sales having been aected prices have tended downwards. Not- si withstanding the progress of the harvest and the easiness of money, the speculators seem to anticipate increased depression, and operate 61 accordingly. Consols a re 931 f or money , an d 931 1 . for the account in October. The New 3 per Cents. are 931 ; and a special transfer is recorded in the 14 Reduced at 931.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares Ire 2 4 pm. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 1 pm. ; and the Univernal, pm. A moderate amount of business has been trans- s , acted in the Railway Share Market, and prices have exhibited a downward movement.

The bill of fare ,s year is one of the best that has been issued for a long time. Great improvements have been made In the programme, not the least important of which is the change as regards the Portland Plate, it having been introduced into Thursday's card instead of Wednesday's. There are upwards of two thousand pounds to be distributed over thirty different items, so that, besides the St. Leger, there are some magnificent prizes to be picked up, the Don caster Cup being of 300 sous. value, while £2OO constitute the Portland Plate ; in addition to a 5 sous. Sweepstakes, £2OO, the Nursery Plate, and £lOO is added to each of six other events. We commence on Tuesday with the Fitz william Stakes, a mile weight for age race, with all ages, which is sure to be a g reat feature ; then th ere are three two-year-old races; another all-aged weight for age race, but over a short course ; a mile handicap, for all but two year-olds ; and a selling race. On Wednesday there is a greater variety, for, in addition to the St. Leger there are two contests for the juveniles, one being a handicap; a two and three-year-old Sweepstakes, the Queen's Plate, a mile handicap, and a sprint ditto; w hile Thursday gives us two great handicaps in the Portland Plate and Cleveland Stakes, a mile two and three-year-old race, and another for juveniles over the same distance , with two three-year-old contests, and a selling race. Friday's great card is, of course, the Cup, which is backed up by four interesting th ree -year-old events, the Nursery Handicap , a " sprint" ditto, and a selling race. Consequently, there will be nothing to find fault with in any one individual card, while as a whole the meeting cannot but be looked upon as one of extreme grandeur. The great two-year-old event of the week is the Cham pagne Stakes, Red House-in, about six furlongs, which can boast thirty-three subs., and a goodly number will put in a claim for them, Parasite, Imaus, Knight of the Thistle, Kettledrum,Win g, Walloon, Lady Louisa, Betts, Prudence, and Virgilius having all gained friends by their style of performing in public, and there are one or two dark celebri ties in the list. Parasite and Lady Louisa have distin guished themselves so well lately that I expect to see them run first and second. The Filly Stakes should fall to Baron Rothschild by the aid of his speedy little filly, Queen of the Vale. The Glasgow Stakes will be won by Mr. Merry's repre sentative. In the Revival Plate, there area lot of good animals en tered that will not run ; however, Damascus, 2 yrs, 6st 91b, and Polyolbion, Est 5111, have the best of the weights in the list, and, should their owners think 100 sous worth having, one of them may run and win. For the Doncaster Plate, ono mile, Ticket-of-Leave, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, must run well, Donner and Blitz, 3 yrs, Est 91b, being one of his very dan • gerous opponents—who may, however, be reserved for something letter during the week. In the Great Yorkshire Handicap Underhand has again accepted with the top weight, 9st 31b, an impost I have no expectation of seeing him carry to the goal successfully, though both the course and the distance will be more in his fe.vour than at York. Hepatica's recent victory at Stockton has given her a rather high position in the handi cap, being weighted 31b over Starke, who, having accepted with Bst 41b, his performance, be it good or bad, is certain to affect Umpire's position in the St. Leger betting. The American, however, to my notion, can have little chance unless immensely improved since Goodwood ; nor indeed have I much fancy for any of the top weights, the best of which are Adam Bede and Gladiolus. Telegram, 5 yrs, 7st, is especially well in ; but I have the greatest fancy for the three-yr-olds, and I shall expect to see this race carried off by either Cherie Arnie or Conscript. There are seven items set for decision on Wednesday, the most important of which is the St. Leger ; and the following are the horses from which the field will be selected, with their probable riders : Horses. Probable Riders. Custance. Thorraanby .. J. Osborne. Sabreur The Wizard Umpire Charlton. Sweetsauce . St. Albans L. Snowden. Stampede Restes • WintonWells. Winto J. Goater.

Vanquisher It will be noticed that within one of a moiety the above —Sabreur, Sweetsauce, St. Albans, Stampede, Avalanche, North Lancashire, and Vanquisher—tookrace no part in the consequently the so far is more " open" than any of the three preceding St. Legers, and the defeat sustained by The Wizard, coupled with the suc cessful performances of Sweetsauce and Sabreur, aided so materially in its maintaining that character, it is not sur prising, independent of other causes, that the betting should have assumed quite a different phase from what it presented some months ago, when it indeed appeared a " feregone conclusion" in favour of either Thormanby or The Wisard. Thormanby's performances are so well known that I would advise no liberties to be taken with him, and were it not that I have my d aibts of the horse being all right, he should represent me alone. Umpire has greatly improved, and ho might run into a situation. Buccaneer, by Wild Dayrell, out of Cruiser's dam, was the undoubted champion of last year's two-yr-olds ; but he was so unfairly treated at home that he has never been the same animal this year, although he ran forward in the Derby. At Goodwood he was not half fit, and many booked him a " safe 'un" for this event, on the ground that he would net like the preparation; but, thanks to the heavy rains that have fallen, he has done strong work for the last four or five weeks, and I do not consider him half a " safe tun." S wee t s auee, by Sweetmeat, out of Irish Queen, jumped into a prominent position in the market on the strength of his double victory at Goodwood, but the subsequent running of those he defeated in the Cup says but little for them, although we must not rob the horse of any credit, for he won in the most easy style. The short race, however, proved his form to be good, as he beat Maggiore in a man ner that proves him equal to Dundee, looking at what the American mare did with the latter at York. The reported trial with the Wizard I set down as nought, as I have no faith in trials, and shall expect to see him boat the Wizard in the race. St. Albans, by Stockwell, out of Bribery, is an animal well known to the racing world on account of his remark able public career. From the severe accident he met with shortly before the Derby he has not, I believe, yet quite recovered ; and, instead of the judge according him the race, I shall expect to hear that he broke down within the distance. The Wizard I have no fancy for, and I do not expect he will get the distance. As I said before . l expect to see Sweetsauce beat him. Sabreur won his races els - Hy - at Yerk- r and beat such. good fields, that I need scarcely look farther for the winner. To sum up, I expect the judge to place them in the follow ing order : SABREUR SWEETSAUCE 2 BUCCANEER 3 UMPIRE 4 Klarikoff ought to 'win the Municipal Stakes. Souvenir, Chirper, and Tightfit look well for the Corporation Plate. For the Portland Plate Glenbuck and Fenella are worth remembering. The weights for the Cleveland H andica p appear to have given more satisfaction than those for the Great Yorkshire Stakes, nearly a moiety of the ho rses engaged having able cepted. The distance being onl y a mile, seems fav plain 4 lai n to Comforter, who, with Bst 21b, has nothing to c of ; neither has Ben bow, 4 y rs, 7st, nor Heires, 6st 71b; and to the trio I leave the result. The extent of the field for the Don casr th Stakes will, in s ome measure, be governe d b y the result of e attemptinge St. Leger, to conseq uently it is almost a wage of tim select from the fifty-nine nominations those likely to reach the starting-post. A FRESH MAN. ;R STEPNEY MURDER. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS THIS DAY. George hiullens'a plaisterer, residing. in Barnsley-street, Bethnal -green, and William Thomas Emms, of Grove road, adjoin i ng the resid ence l a t e i n the occupat i on o f M rs Mary Emsley, were brought up in the custody of Inspector Thornton and Sergeant Copping, and placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with being concerned in the m urder of Mrs. Mary Emsley, a widow lady of indepen dent property, lately living in Grove-road, Mile-end. Mr. Young appeared for the prisoner Emms. The Court was crowded throughout the examination of the witnesses, many of the principal inhabitants of the parish being present, and outside the Court a large crowd had assembled. ----- The following was the evidence adduced :—lnspector Thornton said that he was appointed to trace the mur derer and that on Saturday:night the prisoner Mullins came to his (witness's) house during his (witness's) absence. He saw his (witness's) wife, and told her that he had some information to give about the murderer, of Mrs. Emsley. She referred him to Sergeant Tanner. The next day, by appointment, he, with Sergeants Thomas and Tanner, went down to Scotland-yard with Mullins. The same morning they returned to Grove-road, where they entered a field in which was a shed, which was stated to belong to Emms. While in the field, witness had a communication with Mullins, and while doing so Sergeant Tanner and Thomas Emms came out. The witness then related in detail the facts which appear in another part of our paper, and the other officers having giving their evidence, which was of a similar nature, both prisoners were remanded. ,~ lEPOSITS JOINT STOC BA 'K C.-. INTEREST. (From the Money Market Review.) The practice of allowing interest on deposits at call, and to a certain extent on current accounts, is one of the principal features of the business of our joint-stock banks. If t he system did not precisely originate with them, they at least, with one or two exceptions, have developed it. To those who feel a preference for a sound stea d y business, instead of a brilliant and speculative on e, this circumstance innovation in always be a matter of regret. The in fact will not bear examination, and appears en tirely at variance with true banking policy. The proper mode of conducting a bank is too well understood to need much. reference here . A banker undertakes the custody of BUMS of money, which he is ready to deliver on de mand. At the same time he knows that by.re taining a certain proportion he is quite safe against all ordinary contingencies, and the remainder lie can employ for his own profit. In the latter ease his chief object is to hold such securities as can be realised at almost any moment, or to discount com mercial paper falling due at a fixed and early period. The propriety of this course is evident. As long as a trader has numerous claims to meet, which may come upon him at any ti me without notice, he must protect himself by having all his assets readily con vertible. Another important point is also to be con sidered. It is in the highest degree improbable that l a good bank will, even in hard times, be exposed to a run, but it is very likely it will suffer great pressure. Bankers, whose business it is to watch the varying phases of the money market, are acute enough to foresee such events. If th e i r b us i ness i s con ducted in the recognised mode, they can s t reng th en their position gradually with the least incon venience to themselves and the public. Thi s power of adaptation to circumstances is of e normous value to an institution like a bank, but a p pears to be to say the least, considerably weakened by the practice of allowing interest on deposits. In the first place, a bank allowing interest is no longer an entirely free agent. It may doubt . the wisdom of employing Isere than a . certain proportion of the deposits it hold s ; but if that limitation should involve a loss, it is sure in the long run to be set aside. No bank would dream of keeping idle for any appreciable time a balance i n terest. It which it has to pay a regular rate of If money is worth 5 per cent. in the open market, and a bank allows 4, it is clear it would be a losing business not to lend out about £BO,OOO out of every £lOO.OOO deposited, although prudence might dictate the employment of a much smaller proportion. The bank may, it is true, get out of the difficulty by altogether refusing to take deposits at an inconvenient moment, but with the present competition between bankers, the risk of disobliging a customer . is carefully avoided, and such instances of denial are conse quently rare. It thus follows that under the pre sent system it is nearly impossible for a bank to regulate the whole of its business simply according to the state of the money market ; arid in critical times an establishment may go on for months keeping its connection together, but still with an uneasy feeling that its position is by no means as secure as it ought to be. Secondly, the practice tends in no small degree to foster undue speculation. This is especially observable at a time when the rates of interest are high. Since depositors receive a fixed rate of 1 per cent. below the Bank minimum, the proportion of their balanses that must be used is constantly varying. Thus, with money at 3 per cent., a banker can retain one-third of his deposits in cash, but at 6 or 7 he can afford to retain only about a sixth. As a result of these arrangements, and of the co consequent necessity of employing money, commer cial paper is occasionally scrutinised less narrowly than it should be, and speculators take the oppor tunity of extending their paper transactions to the utmost. It would be unfair to charge a disturbance like the crisis of 1857 to nothing else than taking deposits at interest, but by indirectly giving rise to a hazardous style of doing business the practice certainly tends that way. While convinced of the inexpediency of a bank taking deposits bearing interest and repayable at call, we admit that, with the limitation of fixed periods, and at such rates as may be convenient, there is nothing to be said against these transac tions. As a middle-man between the person who has money to lend and the one who wishes to bor row, a banker but fulfils a part of his functions in providing each with the requisite facilities in consi deration of a moderate commission. The plan, however, of taking money at interest, repayable on demand, and lending it out for a fixed period, is not only unsound in itself but likely in Kerne con unctures to create no small amount of diffeculty. DECIMAL Z;OINAUE. TO Tl{ EDITOR OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEW:; As the present appears to be the most fa vourable opportunity that has ever occurred for the introduc tion of a decimal currency, I take the liberty of offering the following for the consideration of those most interested in the proposed change : The new copper coinage is nearly ready for circu lation. Pence, halfpence, and farthings are already coined, each of rather less value than tho se at pre sent in use. To introduce the decimal system, it is only necessary to reduce the value of a farthing to to the I,oooth part of a pound instead of the 960th, as at present, and to issue one new coin of the value of ten farthings, and the whole matter gill be ac complished without the necessity of deranging ac counts or interfering with them in any way except to render them more simple and less liable to error. The alteration would not even necessitate new account-books, as accounts would still be kept in pounds ; and, as 10 of the new coins (wb ich I should name decime) would be equal to one :florin, they would stand thus—pounds, florins, decimes, far ' things, instead of p ounds, shillin g s, pence,far things ; but this would be sufficientl y indicated by merely pointing off the figures to the right hand— thus, 9,8, 7, 6 would represent 9 pound's, 8 florins, 7 decimes, 6 farthings. But, as farthings have always been represented as fractional parts of a penny, so they may be still written as fractional parts of a decime in the decime column ; thus, 9,8, 7 3-10th, or 3-x, would represent nine pounds, eight florins, seven decimes, three farthings. By this arranvment nearly the whole of the coin at pre sent in use might be retained until completely worn out, their relative value to the pound being still the same, the only variation in real value beinge far fined to the most insignificant coin—viz., th thing. t o I should, however, recommend. fidi 4. qt® t h e intro confusion , and to simplify and facitlie #avoid threepenny in, and, as dud of the decimal currency; _a,f9. 4 1 :PenPY Ricce s be at -- 9 - n - c - e -- - 4, ll l e tifo wn p iec es soon as convenient the-ciiiivyna d coins of tho value of be advantageously in would then be all of a also; in lieu of which ner h g t two and three florins g decimal character, and a foul: would still represent u t rn o i d fo u r c m ed: ho th u e gh of o r t en s t :i c gi n y s would stand as follows Farthings, n u e come ; one tpr resent f n t a t P s h e n a n ' og a fOnfociwfwouldW which v iho s ten ti n l w r w o e uepulrdleasr resent a p e which te The Pecimes, Florins, onef n o repi florin, 11 I i an a the s i x pence the quarter florin. But the sooner they could be altogether superseded by pieces of a strictly decimal character so much the better, and these might be of the respecti • ve value of two and five decimes, and would prove admirable su b st it u tes for both coins ; the one being named the half florin, the other the d ou bl e d ec i me . Both the decime anti double decime should be silver coins. The advantages of the intrauction of this system of accounts are not easily realised. The saving in time in calculating extensive monetary transactiona cannot be estimated ; but when the simplicity of the mode of converting any . amount of the lowest de nomination into its equivalent in the highest be taken into consideration, it will readily be con ceived that the saving in the number of clerks alone in all Government offices, and the reduction in quantity of all kinds of stationery used in them, will be quite sufficient to justify me in saying that it would soon prove very nearly, if not quite, an equivalent for the total repeal of the excise duty upon paper.
