DIONBY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A further quantity of gold, TiZ., £76,000, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, and it is expected that the return will show a continued increase in the stock of bullion. The continental demand being limited, the greater portion of the specie received from Australia and America is re tained in this country, and this circumstance rather strengthens the impression that the rates of dis count will further recede. The City of Baltimore has arrived from New York, with £77,400 in specie. There is very little demand for silver, as usual just after the departure of the steamer for the East, and prices remain without change, bars being quoted ss. lid. per oz. standard. During the last few days there has been a very moderate demand for money, and it is probable that some of the mercantile public have deferred Operations under the impression that they may be enabled to get accommodation a few days later on lower terms. _ The half-yearly interest on the Victoria Govern ment Debentures, the New Brunswick 6 per Cents., and. the Boston City Sterling 4 1 ,- per Cents., will be paid on the la proximo. Rather more activity was exhibited in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were well supported The sales were about 10,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of busi • flees was recorded, and quotations were decidedly higher. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1860. 1859. Great Western £35,059 £37,451 North-Western South -Western Brighton Midland South- Eastern Great Northern 29,097 28,057 Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter .. 7,308 7,965 North-Eastern 44,712 41,655 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 12,883 11,621 West Midland Edinburgh and Glasgow 7,232 7,003 Glasgow and South ;Western .. 8,231 7,428 Grand Trunk of Canada 13,671 9,296 Great Western of Canada The above traffic returns, with one or two excep tions, are of a very satisfactory character. The competition, however, between the Great Western and the South-Western and South-Eastern Com panies, owing to the extension of the latter to Exeter, has caused a marked decrease in the receipts of the former undertaking, the decline amounting to £2,392. On the North-Western the advance is £1,435 ; the South-Western, £1,464 ; Brighton, £1,547 ; Midland, £4,485 ; Great Northern, £1,040; Lancashire and Yorkshire, £4,557 ; North-Eastern, £3,027 ; West Midland, £92 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, £229 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, £4,375 ; and Great Western of Canada, £1,645. On the South -Eastern there is a decline of £152. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. Walter, Howell, and Co. a composition of Os. Bd. in the pound was accepted. The liabilities are £38,963, and the assets are £13,235. The Market for Public Securities continues quiet, but there have been several small purchases, and an advance has taken place in consequence, Consols being 931 -I for money, and 93y for the account. Speculation is still very much curtailed. The special transfer is recorded in the New Threes at 93 -1 ; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has improved to 96i ; but the Debentures are heavy at 96 4; Exchequer Bills remain at 4s. prem. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices tend upwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731, 741; ditto New Loan, 571 571; and the 4 per Cents. are 101; Russian 41 per Cents. are firmer at 94, and Sardinian have advanced to 831 84 ; Brazilian 4 } per Cents, are steady at 871 ; Spanish at 48: 1 ; ditto Deferred have improved to 391; ditto Passive to 23 ; and the Certificates remain at 61 The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1i 21- Prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, tl prem. ; and the Universal, f i prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been more active, and in several of the principal lines a decided advance has taken place, owing to the favourable character of the traffic returns. Great Nnrthern ..e1 44 , At sue., vsa London, Chatham, and Dover, in which a large business has been done, as much as £4 to £5 ; North-Eastern (York), 1 ; Lancashire and York shire and West Midland, 10s.; and South-Western and Midland, ss. Great Western and South astern have declined 55., and North-Western, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have continued in moderate demand. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have advanced to 101; East Indian, to 1003. ; and Great Western of Canada, to 13i. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no alteration of importance. London Joint Stock are steady at 301 ; Ottoman Bank, at 161 17; Madras Irrigation realise 31; and Peel River Land, 47 and 481. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. _ 3 per Cent.

William Evans, a sorter in the post-office, was indicted for stealing a letter containing a gold watch case, the pro porty of the Postmaster- General. The prisoner in the course of his duty became possessed of the letter, and instead of forwarding it for delivery, de tained it, and made a present of it to a female acquaintance. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and ho was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. BUILGLARY WITH VIOLENCE. George Plumridge was indicted for committing a bur glary in the dwelling house of Robert Horner. It will be remembered the prisoner was found in the cellar of the prosecutor, who kept a public house, and in his endeavour to escape he assaulted him with a heavy iron instrument. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy. Sentence of death was recorded. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) ALLEGED -FRAUD BY A PHYSICIAN. Daniel de la Chervois Gourlay was indicted for that he being a trustee unlawfully did convert to his own use cer tain sums of money, to wit £503 Bs. 9d., £BOO, and £1,409 10s. 4d., with intent to defraud. Messrs. Metcalfe and Cooper appeared for the prosecu ion, and Mr. T. Atkinson defended. The facts of the case have so repeatedly been published during the examination of the defendant at the police court, that a repetition of them is quite unnecessary, _ _ The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. THIRD COURT, FORGERY. James Logan Dyer, 24, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged bill of exchange for the payment of Z 33, with intent to defraud. The jury found him guilty of uttering the document, knowing it to be a forgery. There were three other similar charges against him, and sentence was postponed until the C9urt was made ac quainted with the facts of the other cases. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OWNER WANTID FOR A BANK-NOM—Ann Miles, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Beadon with having in her possession a £5 note of the Bank of Birming ham, believed to be stolen. Hill, F division, said about four this morning, at the corner of Moor-street, he heard the prisoner quarrelling with three other women. He went up and asked what she had in her hand, when she tried to throw away a £5 note of the Bank of Birmingham, and to stamp it under her foot. He also found on her seven half-crowns, and at the station an eye-glass was found secreted on her by the female searcher. He knew she had been previously convicted and was a constant associate of thieves. He had, since taking her into custody, found that a gentleman had been robbed in Leicester-square. He therefore wished for a remand for a few days. The note, which was produced, has been frequently endorsed. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner for a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE THIEVES' RAFFLE.—BLITGATE-FIELDS IN AN UPROAR.—Emma Durrant, a mostdesperate and hardened prostitute, aged 20, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with assaulting and wounding another of her class, named Margaret`Gibbins, whose head was encircled with a surgi cal bandage. Daniel Cronin, an Irish shoemaker, aged 40, was charged with violently assaulting Margaret Henetta with a half gallon beer can. The cases were separately heard, but arose out of one transaction. Last night there was a raffle for the purpose of raising money to defend a well-known thief and burglar, named Mahoney, who is now wader remand, for a burglary at Wandsworth and seriously wounding Baker, a police con stable of the V division, who has since been under medical treatment in Guy's Hospital. Three nights before the affair at Wandsworth Mahoney was engaged with Kelly, Timothy, Spaddy, and another, in the attempt to break into the shop of Mr. Carpenter, pawnbroker, in Cannon-street - road, St. George, when Franklin, a constable of the K divi sion, was seriously wounded with a life preserver. Cox, 45 K, an active police sergeant, who was lately beaten by three savage ruffians, brothers, named Bryant, in Ratcliff, said there were one hundred thieves at the raffle last night. The uproar, obscenity, spouting, and singing all night were terrific, and several fights took place. Six extra constables were specially employed, and the orgies were kept up until five o'clock this morning. The friends of Mahoney were desirous of holding the raffle at a public-house. Cox gave warning to all the licensed victuallers in the neighbourhood, and they would not en tertain tho party. Tho raMe was lrehl in the fate uwemn i s or Mahoney, in Blue-gate-fields, Shadwell, a place in habited almost solely by thieves, prostitutes, and other bad characters. A quarrel took place between Durrant and Gibbins because the latter would not " dub up" and con.- tribute something towards the defence of Mahoney. After the exchange of words they came to blows, and the prisoner struck Gibbins a violent blow on the head with a poker, leaving her prostrate and bleeding on the ground. The wound was a severe one, and Mr. Yardley sentenced the savage woman who had inflicted it to three months' impri sonment with hard labour. Cronin lives opposite the house where the raffle took place, and was engaged in it. He quarrelled with his wife, and threw a half-gallon beer can at her. It missed the wife, and struck the complainant, a huge, bloated, and dissipated woman, who, it was stated by Cox, kept a brothel full of girls. Mrs. Henetta received other injuries at the hands of the prisoner Cronin. Isaac Pawsey, a police-constable, 485 K, stated that ho saw the woman Henetta in the house with the blood stream ing from a wound on her head. The scene was frightful, and a great number were drunk. The worst thieves in the district were present at the raffle. Mr. Yardley—lf I was to give the people in Blue-gate fields and the immediate neighbourhood their deserts, I should commit the whole of them to gaol. The complain ant was as bad as the defendant, but she must not be killed. He sentenced Cronin to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. THIS LAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

REPORTED DEATH OF THOMAS WHITE. It is with much pleasure that we contradict the follow ing absurd report, which appeared in the penny papers yesterday : " La' Plavuleto taus AiLuwai.suutou an this day.—We regret to state that Thomas White, who was defeated in the rowing match yesterday by Chambers, took his defeat so much to heart that he committed self destruction this morning at 9 o'clock, in the watercloset of a public-house at Barnes, in which he had been drinking up to as late an hour as eight o'clock." The above report naturally caused much uneasiness in the minds of his friends, and, indeed, in some instances had serious effects upon those who believed it ; but there was not the slightest pretence for such a report, as it was totally at variance with his general character ; and there was not the slightest truth in it, as White was in bed before 12 o'clock, instead of being up all night drinking as alleged. It is lamentable to think that there are people in existence who have nothing else to do but to get up such cruel and unwarrantable fictions. 111 E VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. At a meeting of the council of the West Middle sex Rifles, held yesterday, it was reported by the seeretary that a new company of upwards of 60 members had been formed, to be called " the Prim rose-hill Company," and a:communication was read front the firm of Messrs. - Marshall and Snellgrove, of Oxford-street, stating that at a meeting of as sistants held the previous evening it was resolved to form a company to join the West Middlesex Rifles, and 64 members were enrolled. Messrs. Marshall and Snellgrove had determined on pre senting £lOO towards expenses, and to grant leave of absence to those who have joined on Saturday at two p.m. Mr. T. Hughes, has offered a prise of £lO to be competed for at the prize meeting next month, and among other prizes to be shot for are a silver challenge cup, value £25, given by Mr. F. H. Bridgman and Ensign Phillips; a prize of £2O and £lO and six prizes of £5 each, given by the Council ; a silver and bronze medal, presented by the Rev. J. E. Cox, the chaplain : and a silver tankard, presented by Major Compton, and other minor prizes for the best shots at each range. The corps is to be inspected by Col. M'Murdo on Saturday, the 27th of October. Last evening, in consequence of the recess of Par liament having again placed Westminster-hall at the disposal of the authorities, a number of the dif ferent metropolitan rifle corps—the Royal Irish, Civil Service, Queen's Own (Westminster), Middle sex Artillery, and other corps—were there being instructed in the manual and position drill in their different companies. During the winter months, until the reassembling of Parliament, this noble hall, so admirably adapted for the purpose of preli minary drill, will be nightly lighted up for training the Volunteers to the different metropolitan corps. At the last grand inspection of the troop. by the Commander-in-Chief at Aldershott, we observed Captain Ratcliff, of the Warwickshire Volunteer Corps, who has been for some time attached to the 49th regiment, take his position as one of the officers of that distinguished battalion. We cannot avoid public allusion to such a laudable example, as, evi dently, it will be the best means for an officer con nected with the Volunteers to adopt such training —not only to take command of his company, but to infuse proper military discipline. A meeting has been held, at which Captain Jervis, M.P., presided, to establish an Artillery Volunteer Corps for the hundred of Colneis, on the coast of Suffolk. Sir J. N. Broke Middleton ad dressed the meeting, and contributed £52 10s. to the fund of the corps, and Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., contributed £lO 10s.

LORD BROU G TIAM.—Lord Brougham compl e t e d h yesterday: Ho is in perfect health, and next the annual meeting of the National S o ciety for the prom otion of Social Science at Glasgow. w i e s ek B2 w d presideill year over The noble lord was born on the 19th of September, 1778. He was admitted an advocate of the Scottish bar in 1800, wa s called to the ba r at Lincoln's-inn in 1808 , was appointed Attorney-General to Queen Caroline in April, 1820, and was Lord chancellor :from 1830 to 1834 14 Earl tiroy's 100yernratut, Share FRANCE AND ROME. The following is a full translation of M. Grand guillot's article in the Constitutionnel : " There is a party at Rome whose blindness would end in ruining the most noble and the most legitimate of causes. " It is this party which for 11 years, opposing every reform, has always endeavoured to separate the Pope from the Emperor, the Holy See from F rance . It is this extreme party which, after having counselled a policy without concessions to Pius IX. counsels him to a dishonourable flight. " It is always an act of supreme gravity f or h ea d s of States to abandon their capitals. History t e ll s us how they leave them ; it does not tell us how they re-enter them. For Louis XVI. the journey to Varennes was the first step towards the , 10th of August ; for Charles X., and for Louis Philippe the retreat on Rambouillet or Neuilly the first stage towards exile. _ _ " It cannot, therefore, be explained why Francis IL has thus given up Naples.• Family examples were not wanting to this young monarch of 20 years of age ; and the defection which suddenly created a void around him is scarcely an excuse. The descendant of so many kings might well re main alone in a peaceful town,.as yet undecided, where Garibaldi entered two hours aftewards, fol lowed by jive officiers d'aventure. Under similar circumstances Henry IV. would have uttered his proverbial saying, who throws up the game, loses it,' and he would have remained. "However, the flight of Francis 11. is only a poli tical desertion ; the flight of Pius IX. would be worse than that, it would be a moral desertion. For, after all, the King of Naples may explain his pre cipitate departure on motives of personal safety : those motives would be wanting to the Holy Fa ther. It is well known at Rome that in the pre sence of our troops any insurrection is impossible. It is moreover known that the person and authority of the Pope are safe from any attaek, protected as they are by the soldiers of France. There is not one of those soldiers who would not encounter death to obey his mot d'ordre, and to defend the patrimony of St. Peter against an aggression from any quarter whatsoever. And are they not, in addition, commanded by an Aide-de-Camp of his Imperial Majesty—by General de Goyon himself ? And General de Goyon—in fulfilling with energetic precision the orders of the Emperor—has he not for a long time known how to deserve the confidence of Pius IX, ? " Those who, far or near, dare to advise the suc cessor of the Apostles to retire to Ancona, they are the same men who in 1848 led him to Gaeta. The venerable Pontiff was not the last to understand the fault he had been made to commit then, and it is said that on his return to Rome he made this noble de claration—' I will never leave Rome again ; a king may leave his throne :--a pope cannot separate him self from the tomb of St. Peter.' " We sincerely hope that Pius IX. will remember in 1860 that declaration which he made in 1849 after sad trials—after misfortunes repaired by the devotion of France, and of the Prince who already governed there while awaiting the call to reign over her. " And, when we express this wish, we have only the interest of the Papacy at heart ; for, it must be admitted, what actually complicates the position of France is her presence at Rome ; while, if her occupation could cease, all would be simplified, at least, in a political point of view. " It is not Rome which we occupy ; it is the Papacy which we defend. Our occupation is a religious not a political one. It could under no circumstance assume the latter character ; it is also sanctioned by the duty of protecting the safety and independence of the Sovereign Pontiff. With the Vatican vacant we should have nothing to do, and the faction we should set up there would be less a guarantee than a menace. " We therefore think that we are not wrong in stating that the first consequence of the flight of the Pope would be the evacuation of Rome by France. Her policy would gain by it doubtlessly ; but her sentiments of respect and devotion for the Holy Father would suffer considerably. We should be delivered from a great responsibility ; but, on leaving Rome,we should carry with us great anxiety for the fate of the temporal authority of the Pope. " This is why, sacrificing our political interests to interests of a higher order, we sincerely desire that the detestable counsels given to the Holy Father will not be followed. If a struggle is to take place, however lamentable it would be, we still prefer its dangers to the consequences which would be entailed upon the Pope by the flight to which he is urged by those same men who urged him to absolute resistance. " Such a struggle, if unhappily it became neces sary, would be, on our part, a new proof of that devoted and faithful policy which no injustice has been able to discourage. But for it to be possible, it is necessary that the rope should be there to bless those children of France who, in the interest of his cause, well know how to fight like soldiers and to die like Christians." BRAUNTON, NAE.R BIDEFORD. The lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat In stitution on this dangerous station was taken out a few days ago for her quarterly exercise. The per formances of the boat in the broken water gave her hardy crew every satisfaction. Bideford or Barn staple Bay has been celebrated for ages for its ship wrecks. Hardly a winter passes that does not wit ness some lamentable disasters among its perilous shoals. The Braunton lifeboat house is about half a mile north of the lighthouse, and is built on piles on the sands. On occasions of very high tides it is completely surrounded by the seas. It is situated in a most desolate place, but thanks to this noble in stitution, it has not on that account been overlooked. It is replete with every convenience that can make a lifeboat station perfect. One of the best lifeboats on the coast is stationed there; and mounted on her transporting carriage she can be rapidly conveyed to any given spot on the sands, which extend for many miles along the wild uninhabited coast. A few days after the wreck of the Royal Charter it blew a perfect hurricane on Bideford bar. The brig North Esk, of Sunderland, was seen to drive on the fatal shoals. The people on land despaired of any succour being able to reach her unhappy crew, who were seen, like so many specks, clinging to the rigging. In consequence of the heavy seas that rolled with fearful violence on the shore, the life boat was with the utmost difficulty launched. It was, however, at last successfully accomplished ; but vain were the repeated efforts of her gallant crew to make way with their boat in the face of such heavy broken water and tremendous seas, which again and again filled the little craft ; but the surf was no sooner in the boat than it was instanta neously self-ejected, owing to her peCuliar construc tion. The only fear appeared to be that some of the brave fellows in the lifeboat would be washed out of her, and thus have their humane and persever ing efforts frustrated. Nevertheless, by their in domitable perseverance, and a determination rather to perish than yield to the apparently unequal strife, the vessel was at last reached, and her crew of six men were taken off just before she became a thousand pieces. Who can tell the value of such services as these ? How many a seaman who is now in the full enjoyment of life and st ren g th, and able to provide for his family and do his as eou;i: try, service, would long bainoe have had his t l h t e e help quiem sung by the ruthless waves but for On which a lifeboat alone was able to give luni. early equally the opposite shore of Appledore, t n w t : , excellent deserted spot, the institution has al a so ll e 1 in very lifeboats, one of which was instrtau stormy weather last year, in rescuing fil e men from the schooner Clifton, of Glocester. - TBIS .I)..dY'S SHIPPING. -- __Wind t his ay at 0 021—South- Westerly;2 .

THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND. The reports of the condition of the potato are not improving. A Limerick paper says that th e ac counts from every district are disheartening. The price per stone was nearly doubled on Saturday. This, however, is not the worst sign, for when the blight is ascertained to have really set in prices generally fall, holders being anxious to get rid of their stocks upon any terms. As yet, therefore, people will be slow to believe that " the disease is as universal as in the year 1811-7." Another ac count from the same quarter says : " The accounts from the potato fields increase in their alarming character. The description given of the crop in all quarters is that it is fast going ; an eighth of the quantity sown, it is thought, will scarcely be realised ; the market value of the article to-day will best show the apprehension as to its scarcity, 11d. per stone being the price paid, With reference to the pot a t o cro p, there is some consola tion in the fact that the early intimation which has been given of its failure will enable provisions to be made from elsewhere to meet the deficiency. The extensive failure in potatoes this year ought to act as a warning upon farmers, not lightly to be treated, of the folly of their trusting to such an extent to the successful growth of so precarious an esculent. If it should please Providence to permit the contin uance of a fortnight's fine weather, it is generally thought that such a quantity of cereal produce will be saved as to secure what is termed an average harvest return." In connexion with the expected deficiency in the staple food of the people, it is stated that the Com missioners of the Poor Law Board have sent circulars to the different boards of guardians throughout the county of Westmeath, requesting them (the guar dians) to report on the state of the above crop in the various electoral divisions which they represent, stating the progress, or otherwise, of disease, and the probable loss per cent. likely to be sustained. TILE NEW IRISH LAND ACT. The Northern Whig of Tuesday publishes a com prehensive abstract of the Act for the settlement (it is to be hoped for some time) of the Irish land diffi culty, one of the few measures which will make memorable the rather barren session of 1860. It is only just issued from the printer's, and it will come into operation on Nov. 2 in the present year. In a running comment upon its leading features the Belfast paper observes " The first point to which we desire to call the attention of the tenantry of Ulster is the fact that this is not a ' Tenant-right' Act, and in so far it will disappoint popular expecta tion. It does not deal with the tenant-right prin ciple directly ; but it is, nevertheless, a valuable measure to its extent, and one which Mr. Cardwell is entitled to credit for having passed. Under pre sent circumstances, the Chief Secretary could not, we believe, have carried a measure to legalize the Ulster custom and settle the tenant-right question on a proper basis. The temper of the late session rendered such a project unattainable, and, con trary to public expectation and belief, we have therefore no Tenant-right Bill whatever as the result of the recent legislation on Irish land tenure ; for the other Act that was passed— the Attorney-General's—was merely one for pur poses of consolidation. The chief value of the present measure is, that the principle that a tenant is en titled to compensation for the improvements he effects is at last recognised by the law. Under its provisions improvements can be made either by the tenant or the landlord, under the control and sanc tion of a Chairman of Quarter Sessions or a Judge of the Landed Estates Court, Compensation foil the sums so expended is to be secured by an annuity of 17 2s. per cent. for 25 years, commencing on the date of the charging order made by the judge or chairman when the improvements have been com pleted and certified. The second part of the act has reference to leasing powers, and is very im portant. It gives the right to grant leases un der the different titles of agricultural leases for terms not exceeding 21 years, improvement leases not exceeding 41 years, and building leases not exceeding 99 years (except in special cases), under the conditions set forth in the 25th section of the Act. The most interesting portion of the Act to tenant farmers is that which deals with tenants' improvements,—Part 3. Although the retrospec tive question is not touched, it is satisfactory to find that henceforth a tenant is to be protected in his interest in the soil created by his own labour and outlay, and that he cannot be turned out of his holding without being compensated for all the money he has spent and the labour he has bestowed in judiciously improving his landlord's property. We notice with satisfaction the significant wording of the last clause of the Act, which plainly refers to the Ulster tenant-right, and expressly provid es that this Act shall in no way af f ect or pr e j ud i ce that custom."
