To-day, Clement Harwood, of 2, Upper Chester terrace, Hyde-park, a son of a partner in the firm of Harwood, Knight, and Allen, bankers, money dealers, and discount agents, 33, Abchurch-lane, and John Hatcher, of 35, Northumberland-place, Westbourne-park, were placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with felony, and that in April they did abet together to feloniously steal bills of ex change for the sum of £15,000, the property of John Knight and others,also to feloniously forge and utter well knowing the same to be forged a certain en dorsement of a certain bill of exchange for the pay ment of £l,OOO with intent to defraud, and also that the said John Hatcher did felonously harbour the said Clement Harwood well knowing he had committed a felony. _ Tne prisoner Harwood, who was a clerk in the firm, is supposed to have purloined the bills of exchange, which he cashed, receiving drafts, which he forwarded to Hatcher in Paris, who changed them into coin, with a view of preventing any trace through the medium of bank notes. With the money so obtained the two men sailed for America in the steamship Russia ; but a telegram having been sent by the Atlantic cable Harwood, Hatcher, and his wife were taken into custody, and brought back to England by Sergeant Spittal. The amount of the forgery recovered from the prisoners amounted to a little over £ll,OOO. Mr. Straight said it was not his intention to pro ceed criminally against the young man Hatcher, but he should confine his remarks on the case to the prisoner Harwood, who was the son of the senior partner of the firm in Abchurch-lane. The learned gentleman then proceeded to detail the case against Harwood, and said in order to account for the different style of living after he had commenced his systematic falsification of the books of the firm, to which he had access in his capacity of clerk, he opened an account in the Consolidated Bank in the name of Charles Hope Chalmers, giving his proper name, Clement Harwood, 33, Abchurch-lane, and John Hatcher, 5, Tokenhouse-yard, as a reference. He regretted that the full.extent of the defal cations had not yet been ascertained ; but for the purposes of the present charge, he might say that defalcations to the amount of £11,737 had been discovered. After the money had been banked, Harwood put it about that he had won a large stake of money by the racehorse Blue Gown. It appeared that the money had been abstracted by wrongly casting up the columns in the ledgers and by placing large sums against various customers of the . firm. The learned gentle man then read a letter written by the prisoner Harwood to his uncle, which stated that Hatcher had acted all through in the matter under the belief that he (Harwood) was a rich man, and that he had business of his own which enabled him to send him to Paris to execute genuine business. _ The Lord Mayor said he had no doubt the prose cutors had duly considered the case, and therefore he should direct Hatcher to be discharged. Mr. Knight, one of the partners of the firm, was then called into the box, and stated that the pri soner was the third son of the senior partner in the firm, and acted as clerk. He was an exceedingly clever book- keeper, and had the prisoner's ingenuity been exercised on the right side instead of falify log the books he would doubtless have be come a partner in a very short time. The witness then proceeded to state the matters that had led to the examination of the books of the firm. On the Ist of June a deficiency of £3,000 was dis covered in the prisoner's accounts, and on an exami nation of the book wrong entries and miscasts had since been discovered to the amount of £15,000. The prisoner had no authority to sign the name of the firm " Harwoo3, Knight, and Allen," or any bill of exchange or receipt. The witness then gave in detail the particulars and amounts of the various bills the prisoner had unlawfully cashed I at the various places at which they had been made payable, and to which he bad forged the endorse ment of the firm of Harwood and Co. Mr. Straight said that was as far as he proposed to go to-day. The Lord Mayor then remanded the prisoners it Monday next. MARKE7 S-21118 DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

To-day the Senate Commission reassembled after two days' interval, to hear the final decision of the Government respecting the famous Article 2, which deals with the responsibility of Ministers. I am assured that they have resolved to comply with the wishes of the Liberal majority of the Com mission, and to sanction a fresh version of Article 2 which shall be less vague and more precise. Thc line of demarcation between the responsibility of the Emperor and that of the Ministers will be clearly defined. As matters previously stood, there was something like a, contradiction in terms, since the responsibility of Ministers "who depend solely on the Emperor " was tot likely to prove very satisfactory to the Chambers. The amendment of M. Doujean has been conclusively disposed of, the Commission refusing to entertain any part of it. It proposed that part of the Senators should be elected by the Conseils G4n6aux, that the prinCiple of the initiative and the right of voting the laws should extend to the two Chambers, and that the Constitutional power should be divided between them. The Constitutionnel pro fesses no surprise that amendments so advanced should be rejected by the Commission. The introduction of the elective principle into the Senate is as yet strange and unfamiliar to the public, but it is less easy to understand why the power of reforming the Constitution should remain the exclusive attribute of the Emperor and the Senate, to the total exclusion of the Corps L6gislatif. A reform in this respect is imperative. The scheme of M. Boujean, says the Constilutionnel, is the Senatus-Consultum of the future. It is said that the Emperor, while discussing the terms of the amnesty with his Ministers, quoted a passage from a letter written by Napoleon I. to the King of Holland. " It is especially in regard to political offences," so ran the letter, " that it is well to chew clemency. If it is the Sovereign who is attacked there is something of grandeur in the pardon. At the first rumour of an offence of this kind public opinion arrays itself on the side of the offender. If the Prince remits the penalty the public feeling turns against the offender, but if he follows the contrary system he is considered hateful and tyrannical." Cynics may ask how it is the present Emperor has become suddenly impresed with the force of this " striking passage," but the majority of the Parisians are generally very well satisfied with his newly-developed liberality, and the 'malcontents are few and far between. The irreconcilable!, as they are termed, are just now much agitated by the defection of M. Jules Favre, who, at a recent meeting at Angers, declared that he was not unfavourable to the Senatus-Consultum, as when people were badly off it was unwise to reject what was good in waiting for what was better. I hear from Metz that General Frossard, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, has been paying a visit of inspection to the fortifications of that town. The works are tolerably advanced, and could, I understand, already resist an attack, but they are not yet fit for the Emperor's examination. Some little excitement was created recently by the discovery of two priests speaking German among the workmen. It was imme diately supposed that they were Prussian spies, and I presume it is in consequence of this that a line of sentries is now drawn round the workmen, and no one is admitted within the forts without a card. This little incident chews the jealousy and suspicion with which Prussia is regarded here. An amusing story comes from Guinaucourt, in the de partment of the Meuse. One of the electors addressed a petition to the Senate praying for the revision of the electoral list. The Mayor refused to authenticate the signature on the ground that the petition "was wanting in common sense." I read in the Belgian journals that M. Leon Bachelery, of Brest, who was recently condemned by the Brabant court to six months' imprisonment and RS fine for attacking Napoleon 111. iu a pamphlet, has just been set at liberty. I presume the King of the Belgians thought that it was unnecessary for him to be more severe than the French Etnperorhimself. He has, however, despatched M. Bachelery across the frontier, interdicting him from returning to Belgium, so that, as matters now stand, the offender may reside in France, against the sovereign of which the offence was committed, but must keep out of Belgium, against the king of which he appears to have had nothing to say. The Emperor's health has greatly improved. He will hold an official reception to-night at the Palace of St. Cloud. The Prince Imperial has presided at a grand dinner at the Camp of Chalons. After the dinner a theatrical representation took place, which the young Prince honoured with his presence. A most exciting scene took place at the Hippodrome yesterday. Lucas the exhibitor, entered the cage of the lions, having forgotten his cudgel which he generally carries. After a few minutes the lioness sprung upon him, and one of the lions joined in the attack. The scene was most painful, and Lucas was given up for lost, when his assistant rushed into the cage, with a gun, which he used as a stick, and succeeded in driving back the lions. The unfortunate keeper has been seriously hurt, but his wounds aro not thought dangerous. There is considerable curiosity respecting the appoint ment of the new War Minister. The Emperor is said to be undecided in the matter. He is himself inclined towards General Leba , uf, but the army desires the appointment of Marshal L'azaine, now in command at Nancy. A congress of journalists is expected to assemble at Lyons at the beginning of September, in order to discuss the various reforms which the press can demand. A curious incident occurred during the celebration of the Empiror's Fete in the Loire district. An old man walked in the procession who that day completed his hun dredth'year. He had served in the campaign of the Republic, and was wounded in that of Naples. He has never been seriously ill, and walked with a firm step at the grand ceremonial. It is estimated that not less than 500,000 strangers arrived in Paris from the departments and from abroad for the Fete of the 15th of August. The Figaro announces another duel in connection with the press, but this time the affray has not been attended with serious consequences. The combatants were Com. mandant de Castez and M. Edouard Rodriguez, th. writer of an offensive article in that journal. SHARE LIST. JUDINARY t3LIALLES AND STOCKS. Closing Business Paid ' Price. dens. A CLERK'S BENEFIT SOCIETY. The Philadelphia Public Ledger notes that a mutual benefit association has been formed by the bank clerks of New York city. Under the constitution of the association, the payment of two dollars initia tion fee, fifty cents monthly dues, and fifty cents upon the death of a fellow member, assures to each clerk that, in the event of his death, his family will receive 500 dollars in cash, together with the amount accruing from the special levy of fifty cents. The membership of the association numbers over 900, so that the aggregate sum thus paid amounts tonear 1,000 dollars. The bank clerks of New York number 1,193, and the popularity of the association may be judged from the fact that so large a proportion as 900 are members. A DELICATE DONATION TO A NUNNERY. Two women, on passing the nunnery school at the top of Tranmere, on Tuesday, heard the cry of a child in the gateway leading to the schoolhouse. They found a female infant, a day or two old, lying in a bundle with a note attached to it. Tho note, which was written in a very woll-formed female Land, but in a very uneducated style, ran as follows :—" To the proprietress of the convent. Madam,—For a shoat time will you take charge of this in nocent babe, and protect it as the apple of thine eye? You will be paid on the double as soon as things are settled ; it has been carried five miles to protect it from its father. Mother, protect my child ! Save it, and you will be paid for it. lam not unknown to you, but at this moment I cannot reveal who I am, but 1 will by and bye.—THE MOTHER." Tho finders took the infant up to the entrance of the con ♦ent, but on ringing the tell and explaining their errand , they wore speedily shown out—neither the superioress nor any of the sisters would have anything to say to such a very awkward postulant, and the women who had found it then took it to the Birkenhead police, who transferred it to tho relieving officer. THE MEMBERS FOR MID-SURRY. The lion. W. Brodrick t►nd Mr. H. W. Peek, the members for Mid-Surrey,'were present at the annual venison dinner at Kingston•on-Thames. In response to the toast of "the House of Commons and the members for Mid- Surrey," Mr. Peek gave a brief sketch of what had been done in the past session, Having referred to the passing of the Irish Church Bill, the hon. gentleman said that feeling he was not merely sent to Parliament to represent his own views, he had devoted attention to other matters of general interest. The Bankruptcy Bill was named as a non-political measure of great importance, and Mr. Peek hoped that there would be still more improvements made. The Diseased Cattle Bill was alluded to, and the lion. member said that that very day one of his constituents at Beddington told him that cattle were dying in that neighbourhood by scores from the foot and mouth disease. The reason assigned for the outbreak was the passage of sewage over the meadows, The Hon. W. Brodrick also spoke. He eulogised the part his colleague had taken in the Bankruptcy Bill, and said that the Attorney-General bad incorporated three fourths of Mr. Peek's amendments in his amended bill. At tho Sheriffs' Court yesterday a proclama tion of outlawry was made of Lord Georgo Osborne Town thend and several other persons. ,hare Railways at Bristol and Exeter ...... 100 - - et Caledonian lOO fOl 81 SO 79j st Cainurian 10 Cornwall -all 21 3 st Dublin & Bellast June lOO 27 79 at Dun„rerth, Sr .th.J cue ioo 70 72 2i Emit Loudon all 7 8 40 Lo 15 - - 2J Do 10 - - . at Glasgow &S.

Mr. William Henry Knowles, of Pall-mall, said he en gaged the defendant at the Field office, in the Strand, and on getting into his cab paid him his fare to St. James's. On getting there the defendant again demanded his fare, and on his telling him that he had already paid him, he called him a most disgusting name, and on his asking Lim for his ticket ho set to abusing him—making use of the vilest language. A son of the complainant having given similar evidence, The defendant simply denied having been paid by Mr. Knowles.

James Shipman, a Wesleyan Minister of Lon don and Manchester, and in charge of a large congregation in Poplar, who was accompanied by Messrs. Cowdry, Pilkiugton, and Stevenson, Wesleyan missionaries, came before Mr. Paget to make an explanation of some import ance to an old established institution, called the Seamen's and Boatmen's Friend Society. Tho Rev. Mr. Shipman is the secretary of the society, which has been established 23 years, whh 1,500 subscribers of all classes, and was patronised by Admiral Hay, the Hon. A. Egerton, 31. P., Mr. Barley, M.P., and Mr. Platt, M.P., and by a great number of ship owners, captains, and people connected with the trade and commerce of the country, whose names were on the 23d annual report of th 3 society's operations. The success of the society had induced an obscure indi vidual, named Benjamin Griffiths, to set up another society with nearly the same name, who came to that court a fort night ago and said that persons wera collecting subscrip tions front the benevolent for the society who were not authorised to do so. This man's appoint ment of secretary to the society emanated from four obscure individuals, and he had most unjustifiably assumed, with the exception of one word, the name of- the Seamen and Boatmen's Friend Society, established to promote the social, moral, and religious welfare of seamen and canal boatmen. All that Griffiths and a woman Con nected with him did was to educate a few children in a small schoolroom, and did nothing to promote the inte rests of seamen and boatmen. The committee of ma nagement of the Seamen and Boatmen's Friend So ciety were composed of men of integrity and worth who had a good reputation to maintain, and dis claimed all connection with Benjamin Griffiths and the woman with whom ho was associated. He hoped those newspapers which had given publicity to Benjamin Griffiths statement would give publicity to his explana tion. All the receipts of the society were headed " Sea men and Boatmen's Friend Society," and the only person collecting subscriptions in London was Mr. Cowdry, now present. _ Mr. Paget had no doubt the same publicity would be given to the statement of the secretary as was given to that of Benjamin Griffiths. Ho would not interfere in the matter himself, and ho referred the rev. gentleman to In spector Turner of the K Division, who was present, and who would advise him what to do. The Rev. Mr. Spinner and his colleagues then retired with Inspector Turner to the adjoining station house to devise some means of checking the career of Benjamin Griffiths and the clique with which he was associated.
