The sum of £12,000 in sovereigns was with drawn from the Bank yesterday for Brazil. The Manchester markets this week have opened with an improvement in tone. It is believed that the liabilities of Messrs. S. Isaac Campbell and Co., whose suspension was an nounced yesterday, amount to about £140,000, and an unfavourable liquidation seems to be anticipated. At an independent meeting of bond and share holders of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, a resolution was passed to the effect that the administration of the undertaking has been so un satisfactory, that a considerable change in the management, both in England and Canada, will be beneficial to the proprietors, and a committee was appointed. _ _ _ Application for space in the Altona Exhibition of Machinery, Agricultural Implements, and Ma nufactures is to be made on or before the 15th instant. A private telegram, dated Madras, the 4th inst., states as follows :—Grey shirtings, 39 inch, if lbs., rs. 6.8; mule twist, No. 40's, steady, rs. 3.14 to 4.4 per 51b. bundle ; c.itton, fair Westerns, rs. per lb. co,t and fre:ght. Cotten a little stronger and steadier. It is stated that a meeting of the promoters of the project foi a Brighton and Metropolitan Railway, Which was introduced last autumn, was held yester day, and that it was determined to renew the ap plication to Parliament fur an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing Session. Mr. Brunlees, the en gineer, explained some modifications in his plans of the mode by which the proposed line would enter Brighton, which he thought would be acceptable to the town and reduce the cost of construction. At the meeting of the A nglo-Mediterranean Telegraph Company (Limited) a dividend of 4s. 61. per share was declared, making 10 per cent. from the 16th cf September last. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the London and River Plate 13:zuk (Limited) the usual interim dividend of 5 per cent. was declared. Mr. Frederick Maynard, the official liquidator of the International Life Assurance SJcinty, pro poses on the 18th inst. to settle the list of contri bu toi ies. Creditors of the Imperial Land Company of Maiseilles (Limited) are requested to send the par ticulars of their cl.dins to the liquidators by the 26th inst., the 2Gth July having been appointed by Vice-Chancellor Malins for adjudicating upon them. Letters from Frankfurt state that the liquidation on the Bourse at the end of slay proved that tha market is overstocked with all kinds of speculative securities. Still, as soon as it was over, shares Which were never dealt in before were introduced, and a new start for a rise was made. Of Aus trian speculative securities Credit Shares and Lom bard Railway have been firmly maintained, the former because 4011. per share are likely to be re funded next month ; the latter, because by the Mont Cenis tunnel the Lombard Railway will be brought in connexion with the French lines. An experiment, made in the neighbourhood of Frankfort to introduce the culture of the Japanese silk w o rm , has failed, as they eat only the leaf of a certain species of oak, and breed only in dark rooms. On the German corn-market prices have bad an upward tendency, owing to recent heavy rains. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 8 per Cent. Consols Ditto for Account, July 7 8 per Cent.

John Cranby, a Prus.4an sailor, was indicted for killing and slaying his superior officer, George Alfred Willes, on the high seas. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was a seaman on board the ship Herefordshire in a voyage to San Francisco. On the 15th September last, when the ship was south of the line, some bottled beer was missed from the cargo, and the deceased and second mate charged the prisoner with having drank it. This lel to a quarrel, during which the prisoner got knocked down, and after wards it was admitted by some of the witnesses that ho got kicked sevaely in the struggle. On getting up he was very much excited, and then he drew a knife and made a rush at the second mate, and subbed him in the abdomen, from the effect of wni.:.:ll injury he died. The pri soner was secured on board ship and taken to San Francisco, and from there he was brought to Eng land, being kept in irons the whole of the voyage. The jury found the prisoner gullty, but strongly recommended lihn to mercy, on the ground of the 'provocation he ha I received. The learned Judge sentence I him to a month's impr:sonment. NEW COURT. A clergyman, named living, was iudicted for keeping au unlicensed lunatic asylum, at Wands worth. The defendant, by the advice of his coun sel, Mr. Metcalf, pleaded guilty. It appeared that a lady had been residing in the house of the defendant for the last eleven years, but although she was of very eccentric baits it was not the fact that at that time she was insane, but very lately she had met with a very severe injury, which had caused her intellect, which before was not very strong, entirely to give way, and the fact had not been intimated. The learned Judge said he should recd over the whole of the depositions before he passed any sen tence. In the meantime the defendant would be allowed to enter into his own recoguizauces to come up for judgment when called upon. THE CHARGE AGAINST CHIEF CONSTABLE BESWICK. The trial of Major Bes wick, the chief constable of Birkenhead, who stood undefended, with forging a power of attorney for the transfer of £l,OOO worth of certain stock, with intent to - defraud the directors of the Bank of England. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the defence raised was that he had been misled by the misre present.itions of a person named Mexted. The facts have already been fully reported. The case will not be concluded to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A SUSPECTED PERSON IN TIIE GARDENS OF A PSLEY HOUSE.— James Francis King, a young man, described as a barman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with bein; found in the gardens at the rear of Apsley House (the Duke of Wellington's), supposed for the purpose of com mitting a felony. A young man said that soeing the prisoner in the gar deLs at the rear of Apsley House at an early hour that morning he spoke to a constable. in answer to the magistrate, the witness said the pri soner said that he had walked into the gardens, but that ho must have got over the railings six feet high, sur mounted with spikes. Lambert, 254 A, said that he saw the prisoner in the gardens—having turned him out of the park twenty minutes previously--and when ho asked what business he had there he said it was a drunken freak, but he was quite sober. The prisoner first said that he lived in Bethnal• green, but afterwards that he lived in Lisle-street, Leices ter-square, but he did not reside at the latter address, though he had done so 12 months ago. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the prisoner's conduct was full of suspicion, and he should remand him that inquiries might be made respecting him. WESTMINSTER. A LADY CHARGED WITH DRUNKENNESS.—A handsomely dressed lady, giving the name of Emma Jackson, was charged with being drunk and incapable. Police-constable 223 T said that at two o'clock this morning ho was on duty at the Police-station in the King's road, Chelsea, when the lady was brought there in a cab. She was so drunk that she was unable to leave the cab, and the driver then lifted' her out, but she could not go away. She was then taken into custody and locked up. Mr. Arnold—Where does sho live ? Inspector Holmes—We have not been able to get a clue to her name until this morning, and she refuses to give her address. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to the charge of being drunk ? Defendant—Nothing. Mr. Arnold—Where do you live ? Defendant (in a low tone)— 5, Manor-street, Chelsea. Mr, Arnold —What are you ? Defendant—A married woman. She was fined ss. PORTRAIT OF THE FIRST CONSUL. His complexion is remarkably sallow ; his coun tenance expressive, but stern ; his figure lithe, but well made ; and his whole person, like the mind which it contains, singular and remarkable. If I were compelled to compare him to any one, I should name Kemble the actor. Though Bonaparte is less in size, and less handsome than that respectable performer, yet, in the construction of the features and the general expression, there is a strong resemblance. The picture of Bonaparte at the review, exhibited some time back in Picea filly, and the bust in Sevres china, which is very com mon in Paris, and has probably become equally so in London, are the best likenesses I have seen. As to his dress, he wore the grand costume of his office, that is to say, a scarlet velvet coat, profusely embroidered with gold. To this ho had added leather breeches, jockey boots, and a little plain cocked-hat, the only ornament to which was a national cockade. His hair, unpowdered, was cut close to his neck.—Dickens's "All the Year Round.' Rossini's " Stabat Mater" and a Selection will be given at the last performance this season by the National Choral Society, under the direction of Mr. CL W. Martin, on Wednesday next, at Exeter Hall. Miss Arabella Smyth, Miss Lucy Franklein, Signor Gardoni, and Mr. Lauder are among the principal vocalists engaged. In the Selection will be included " The Lord is a Man of War,' sung by nearly 300 aisle voices, which was so favourably , received at the recent performance of "Israel in Egypt" by this society.

In a paper read recentlybefore th`:: Civil and Mechanical Engineers' Society, by Mr. Arthur Pain, C.E., on the principal building stones used in the metropolis, the author, after treating fully on all the different sorts of stone as they came into use chronologically, and illustrating his paper with a large map sheaving the position and distance of the quarries from the great centre, also a table ccmpiled from various sources giving detailed information as to the weights, description, chemical analysis, prices, and other various information of each sort of stone, drew the attention of the society to the remarkable fact that newly all the prin cipal buildings in the neighbourhood of the various quarries were in an excellent state of preservation, while structures built out of the district and of the same kind of stone were more or less in a state of rapid decay. This, he believed, was owing to the architect, builder, and stonemason, in the first case, knowing all about the stone, and being able to reject the bad, while in the second instance they often knew nothing of its good or bad qualities, and the stone was put in without proper selection. He mentioned, as an instance of the evil of non-selection, the Houses of Parliament. the consequence of which was we Lad a building fast crumbling to decay; on the other band, the Geological Museum, Jermyn street, front built of the same stone, is in excellent preservation, because it was carefully selected. He did not blame architects, engineers, masters, and work men for not knowing more about stone, because he knew the difficulty of obtaining information. He considered that the cause of technical education in that particular and important branch would be greatly advanced if the heads of the professions of architect, civil engineer, and the trades connected therewith would appoint an architect, civil engineer, chymist, geologist, builder, and practical stonemason, and get the Govern ment to make them Royal Commissioners, with the usual powers, to report on all the principal quarries in the United Kingdom, and collect specimens, such speci mens and report to be placed in the public museums in every large town throughout the country. Until that was done he felt convinced that we should continue to build oar public and private structures of good and bad stone mixed up together, with the same miserable results. 1-41)1TION ir I fill X STIARP, LIST. * , ;AILY Yri.

The Heath, which is immortalised on the canvas of Sir Francis Grant (who is, we hear, about to paint Mr. Anstruther Thomson, on Iris, for the Pytchely Hunt), as the scene of the " Meet of the Royal Buck hounds," is still the very Almacks of the racing " upper ten," and if the fashion does not descend, as in the days of the Regent, to promenade on the Course between the races, it is still to be found in the boxes or on the lawn. Each year the long stand and enclosure line seems to lengthen out, and the added money has swelled to upwards of five thousand. The booth men say that they have annually to pay more per foot, and they were congratulating themselves that the elements were kinder than at Epsom, "when the rain swept in at the side of our booth, and washed us out for evermore." Kost of them let off their frontage to the list-keepers ; and if the booth proprietor did not "skin the lamb . ' in his lets, in one or two instances he had evidently been killing his own lamb, ready for his customers on the Cup Pay. The four-in-Lands, among which the Duke cf Beaufort's and Earl 111acciestitld's were conspicuous, numbered pretty well in the old spot, and so did " dogcart, Lugg, , y, phaeton, curricle or tandem ;" but the roads were deep in dust, and many of the horses could hardly raise a trot for the avenue as they toiled along the Heath and through the side bars to their position. There was rather a lack of amusement on the Course. Improvisatores were scarce, and Jimmy, NO) "does the donkey to please the aristocracy, and not the common people," was absent. Minstrels sang " Ten little Nigger Boys" and " She loved a Barber ;" but the old Ascot humorists, with their cocked hats, their eye-glasses, their parasols, and their salient repartees were wholly lacking. The royal party arrived soon after the saddling bell had rung for the Trial Stakes. Lord Cork, as Master of the Buckhounds, led the way, with the silver couples across his shoulders, on a beautiful bay with a white face, which might, from its look, have been Orlando, and Harry King, the huntsman, followed on his brown, with Bartlett, the first whip, at his side, and two more behind. Three open carriages, each drawn by four bays, and with outriders on bays or chestnuts, and then two small carriages with grey ponies and outriders mounted to match, formed the cavalcade. The Princess of Wales was dressed in mauve, like three other ladies of her party, which made her identity at times rather difficult to the crowd, who took a protracted survey as usual in front of the Royal Stand. Old Honesty declined the Trial Stakes, for which a Thormanby—Griselda colt, carrying "an infant," who made up his Gst. 11b. with nearly 3st. of saddle and saddle cloths, ran last to Sir Joseph Hawley's Vagabond. Very different luck awaited the Thorn;anby blood in the Bien ' nial Stakes, which Fordham—fresh from Paris, and the stumble which cost him three lengths and the Grand Prix with the Drummer—won on a nice colt of Mr. Bevill's. Mr. Bowes, who has only won £75 so far this season, started Nobleman, who Las good promise about him, but could not live up the bill with the leaders. Countryman bears very little resemblance to his brother Rustic. Mr. Johnstone brought out rather a nice-looking Glengarry, by Blair Athol, bandaged in both fore legs, as many of the horses were. The Vedette colt had no looks to recommend him, and Stanhope, although rather slight in his make, was full of quality. A handsome silver flagon was the Royal Vase of the day. Thorwald sen had evidently been " well slipped into" on Middleham Moor since Epsom ; but Tom Dawson again ran him in blinkers, and kept him so far away from the others when he was saddled, that the Epsom privacy would seem to have been on his account rather than Pretender's. He still bears on his off hip traces of the slight injury which he received in the railway box when h e fi rs t came south. St. Mungo seemed short of work, and " broke out" as he went down to the start. Hence we doubt his chance of winning ; but below the distance, the sinews of his off hind leg gave way ; and Jeffrey ro d e hi m past the post and then instantly jumped off. It was all the poor black could do to limp away, as he could barely put his toe to' the ground, and departed like a dog on three legs. Thus ended the career of perhaps the finest three year-old stayer of the year. Thorwaldsen ran very straight and well, and if he is fifteen hands high it will be the outside. The 51b. penalty enabled Wells to ride Pero Gomez for the Prince of Wales Stakes, and so great was the prestige of that colt's name that even £l,OOO added, and money for second and third, failed in tempting more than four to face him. The Derby second looked well, but still his big quarters, as Will Chifney warned George IV. when he thought of buying The Colonel to win the Cup, were certain to tire up the Ascot hill. And so it proved when he came to race with Martyrdom, and a report went round that Sir Joseph had been hit for nearly £lO,OOO. Thus, the unfortunate Sunday trip with The Drummer only ends in his being beaten a head, and flinging away a very fine chance for this rich vrize. Newspapers in China are circulated from hand to hand after being copied by clerks. It is now proposed to establish an extensive press and type foundry at Suchow, and adopt the foreign mode of printing. ANOTHER ARREST IN CORK. —News from Cork states that on Tuesday William Johnson, a printer, not of Cork, decently dressed, was arrested for circulating seditious letters and placards amongst the soldiers in the streets. The documents were for the most part fanatical rhapsodies. The prisoner has been remanded pending inquiries. The affair is believed to be an insane freak. THE TRAGEDY NEAR HARROW.—On Tuesday Dr. Diplock held an inquest on the body of Bethiah Midson, who was shot by her husband on Sunday last under circumstances which have been already reported. The evidence already given was reproduced, with the ‘ddition that the cause of quarrel on this particular occasion was that the prisoner had not got up early enough in the morning to please the deceased. The jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Lewis Midson. DEATH UNDER REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.— Mr. Johnson, coroner, of Stockport, has held an inquest at the Stockport Infirmary on the body of George Vaughan, 17 years of age, under the following circumstances : Deceased was a hatter, and on Thursday he cut his finger with a knife. He was advised by an overlooker to put it into a cistern of cold water. He did so. In an instant he tumbled headlong into a cistern of boiling water, eighteen inches deep, used in the preparation of hat bodies. It is supposed that the sight of the blood caused him to faint. He died on the following day. THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—Last week the annual rate of mortality was 22 per 1,000 in London, or two lower than in thirteen other large towns in the United Kingdom. In the inetropolls there were 2,100 births and 1,:J55 deaths, the latter being 47 over the estimated number. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 285, the corrected average number being 309. Three persona died from smallpox, 24 from measles, 62 from scarlet fever, three from diphtheria, 89 from whooping-cough, 15 from typhus fever, 15 from enteric fever, 6 from simple continued fever, and 22 from diarrhoea. The mortality from scarlet fever was greater than in many previous weeks. The deaths of children under five years of age numbered 532. The mean temperature during the week was 53'3 or 37 below the average. Between the highest day and the lowest night temperature there was a range_of_ more than 38 degrees.

Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the bust French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable VoigtlAnder at comparatively trilling cost.

SALE OF 1...7.QU0RS ON E3I.7NDAY (IRELAND) BILL Th 6 house went into committee on this Lill, and the discussion of tLe details of the various clauses was pro ceeded with. Mr. MURPHY said in his opinion the mode which !he bill proposed to adopt would only aggravate the evil in stead of lessening it. lle believed the Home Secretary intended to introduce in the next session a measure to deal with the licensing system, and he would appeal to hon. members to support his motion, to let the matter root until that had been done. Mr. FORTESCUE hoped the bill would not be press , ..d forward during the present session. His noble friend the Secretary for the Home Department was of opinion that the whole of the licensing system required revision, and Le bad undertaken, on the part of the Government, to bring form and such a meLlsur,, nest session, and the bill would doubtless be applicable to tke whole of the United Kingdom. Af tera few observations from Mr.O'Reilly, the amendment was withdrawn, and the order for the committal of the bill was di,charged. SEA FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. BLAKE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to protect and imp:ove the sea fisheries in 11-el:aid. Mr. MAGUIRE seconded the motion for the second reading. Lord ST. LAWRENCE regretted the intimation of the Chancellor of the Execqucr to the deputation that nothing could be done in the matter, and he Loped he would reconsider his decision. Mr. DOWSE said every Englishman who wished well to Ireland ought to support the bill. After a few observations from Mr. 3PLAREN, AYRTON said ho thought some misunderstanding pi-evade-AI with resport to the interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, but it must be confessed the sub ject was one of extreme difficulty. If money was to be given he thought it would be better to promote industry rather than to set up a new board as proposed by the bill. He regretted the Government could not support the bill and take upon themselves the responsibility of addi tional expenditure provided by the bill. Mr. FORTESCUE said be would consent to the second reading of the bill, not pledging the Government to the whole bill, but as showing they agreed to the administra tive portion of the bill. It would then be for the Govern ment to consider whether they would take the matter up. Mr. BLAKE thought the ultimatum of the Irish Secre tary satisfactory, and he would willingly leave the matter in his hands. The bill was then read a second time. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. T. HUGHES said it would save some time if he stated he preferred to limit the bill to the metropolitan police district. Mr. RYL thought the bill a most objectionable one, and totally unLocessaly. He moved the chairman do leave the ch:tir. it rppeared to him ab-mrd to inflict penalties on poor o: - augc-sellers whilst the public-houses were allowed to remain open on the Lord's (liy. The bill was " tailed ()IL" by the hun. member amidst great 1 tughtec. The house then a ij•mrned. • Foreign Mail Packet Lis,. MALLS DUE. einstralla snl New Zealand, Via t0r..,..

This morning between the hours of one and two o'clock considerable sensation was created in con sequence of the outbreak of a destructive fire, which nearly resulted in the loss of several lives, which occurred on the extensive premises of Mr. Tilman, china and glass warehouse, No. 172, Barnsbury road, Islington. The fire was discovered by a girl waking up her father for a drink of water, when the flames rushed in at the bed-room door. Mr and Mrs. Tilman, the child, and servant girl made for the windows and cried piteously for help. At this moment James Hodson, conductor of the fire escape, arrived from Ifighbury with his escape, and instantly pitched it against the burn ing building and rescued the before incw.ioned par ties amidst the cheers of the bystanders. The engines from the Essex-road, Farringdon-street, and Holloway - Volunteer Fire Brigade were remark ably early in their arrival, and got to work in firbt rate style, with a good supply of water from the mains of the New River Company, but it was not extinguished until considerable damage was done. Cause and insurance is unknown. DeNvILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
