O,2V,E_Y _MARKET AND CITY .117.EIVS- CITY, Two o'CLocic. Theft has been a very moderate amount of busi ness transacted in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days. Tea has been very quiet, and no change can be reported in prices.. The finer qualities of sugar have been in moderate request at about former values ; holders, however, are firm, and do not press sales. In the lower qualities a rather large amount of busi ness has been done, chiefly for export. Coffee has been in steady demand, and the finer qualities have fully sustained previous rates. For rum there was only a limited inquiry, and fruit sold readily at full values, particularly some first arrivals of new raisins and currants. Saltpetre has been rather flat, and indigo in good demand, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per lb. on the rates realised at the last July sales. Tallow, owing to the rather large arrivals of foreign, has slightly declined, P.Y.C. on the spot being rather lower, and for forward delivery a decline of about 6d. to ls. per cwt. has taken place. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani fested rather more animation, and prices of most descriptions advanced. The sales were estimated at 20,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was rather flatter, and quotations were depressed. The inquiry for money continues very steady, but although the extension of trade is increasing the supply of bills, they are readily negotiable at rates still ranging as low as 21 and 21 per cent. Very little business is transacted at the Bank ; and, notwithstanding the advances made upon stock, as usual during the shutting, it is not expeCted that the other securities will show any important increase. The bullion in the meantime is rapidly augmenting, and £114,000 was taken into the Bank yesterday. Considerable consign ments are due from Australia, which will no doubt be similarly appropriated, because the export de mand, being limited, will only consume a small proportion of these remittances. There is scarcely any movement in the silver market, owing to the limited shipments to the east. Bars and Mexican dollars remain nominally at, about previous rates, but few transactions are re corded. The receipts from the continent are almost suspended ; those brought by the 'West India packet being sufficient to meet the requirements of the bullion dealers. Business of all descriptions appears exceedingly quiet. At the Stock Exchange there is a complete absence of all speculative excitement, and the set tlement in the Foreign Stock and Railway Share Markets- occupies the principal attention of the members. Renewed attempts have been made to depress Turkish Scrip, but without much suc cess, the decline being limited to I per cent. The markets, consequently, present a very tranwil appearance. In Mincing Lane the transactions are chiefly confined to those neces sitated by the requirements of consumption, and although a moderate business is recorded there are no indications of renewed activity. Most of the principal articles, however, are fully maintained. In the English Funds to-day the variation has not been extensive, but renewed buoyancy is appa rent and a further rise of A- per cent. has taken place. Th6re is still an inclination to operate for a rise, and the bona fide transactions are favourable, upon balance. Consols have risen to 97/ for money, and to 97i for the account. India Loan Debentures are 98,1. ; Ditto Scrip, 2d issue, 982 ; Ditto Bonds, 1 ls. to 14s. prem. The March Exchequer Bills, 325. prem. ; June ditto, 235, to 275. prem., .and the Bonds were dealt in at 1001. Foreign Securities are buoyant, and quotations are rather higher. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 96-2. I ; ditto 4 per Cents., 104+ ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 212- ; Peruvian 44 per Cents. 91+ 92+ ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 961 ; ditto (1858), 96 2 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 21 ; Russian 4+ per Cents., 100+ ; Sardinian 5 per Cents. 92+ 93 ; Spanish New De ferred 29!: 7 1 . ; ditto Certificates, 61 ; ditto Passive, 111 ; and Peruvian Donal Bonds, 761. Turkish `Scrip is + premium. Peruvian 4+ per Cents., 91+ 921. The Railway Share Market has shown a further :upward tendency in prices, the advance in most :instances being from about to 1 per cent. Cale donian, North-Eastern (York), and North-Eastern (Berwick), improved 10s. ; Great Westerns, Brightons, and North British, 15s. ; and Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western, South-Western, Midland, and South- Eastern, £l. The Foreign lines have been in moderate demand, and prices are firmer. Dutch Rhenish have improved ss. ; Northern of France, ss. ; Namur and Liege, ss. In the Colonial lines there is little alteration to report. East Indian have advanced about 55., and . Grand Trunk of Canada, ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares hare been dealt in to a very limited extent, and prices show little alteration. London Joint Stock declined ; Ottoman Bank improved ss. ;- and Australian :Agricultural 10s. ` BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 8 per Cent.

A TIPPLING PROSECUTOR. Theodore Delaunay was charged with stealing the sum of S 2 45., the money of John Le Blanc, hairdresser, Picca dilly. The prosecutor—who had previously been charged with being drunk—said that having a lamp that required repair ing, he spoke to a friend, who introduced him to the pri soner, who said he knew some ono who would do to job for him, and ho accompanied him to the place, and on the road treated him to some gin, and afterwards sent for some beer. He (prosecutor) then became intoxicated, and while in that state the prisoner took his purse. Brown, 128 C, said he saw the purse in the prisoner's hand, and asked him to hand it to him. He refused to do so, and on his acquainting the prosecutor he was given into custody. The prisoner admitted the puree contained S 2 4s. Prisoner said the fact was, the prosecutor asked him to accompany him to get the lamp repaired, and in the course of their journey treated him and others to two sixpenny worths of gin, a gallon of beer, and two half-pints of rum, and the prosecutor having met some others, he paid for two or three half-pints more of rum. The prosecutor then be came very drunk, and he took his purse from him to mind for him, and although he would acknowledge he had spent the money, still he never intended to steal it. Mr. Beadon said he should remand him, but he would recommend him to return the prosecutor his money, as he might take that into his consideration. THAMES. A BANKRUPT SRIP--REPUSAL TO PAY A SHIP'S CREW. -Mr. Davis, clerk to Mr. Joseph Smith, a solicitor, applied to Mr. Selfe for summonses against Captain Pavey, the master of the ship Barrettojutn, for refusing to pay the crew of the vessel their wages for services on board on a voyage from London to Rangoon and back. Mr. Selfe—You may take your summonses. Mr, Smith himself here entered the court, and said he had sent his clerk forward to obtain the summonses, fearing that he should be delayed elsewhere on business. He begged leave to state that the case was an urgent one. A bankruptcy was pending, and the seamen, fourteen in number, were told, after a long voyage, there were no funds. They had been six days or more knocking about, and nothing but speedy measures would ensure justice to the men, 'and the payment of their hard earned wages. Mr. Selfe hoped he would be spared the necessity of hearing the cases, and that the seamen would be paid their wages without delay. He granted the summonses, and they were immediately made out. The united claims of the seamen, many of whom have wives and families, amount to upwards of £5OO. There was much excitement among the seamen present, and they com plained of the hardship of being kept out of their wages, after so long and arduous a voyage in a tropical climate. SINGULAR APPLICATION.—ALLEGED IMPROPER DIS POSAL OF A SEAMAN'S CLOTHES.—Mrs. Farrell, a re spectable young woman, and the widow of Thos. Farrell, a seaman, who was washed overboard at sea in a storm from the ship Carrs, of Sunderland, applied to Mr. Selfe under these circumstances :—She had received a letter from one of her late husband's shipmates, stating the circum stances of his being drowned off Elsinore, and that his clothes were carefully preserved, and would be deposited at the Shipping-office, in London. On inquiring at the Shipping-office, in Emmett-street, Minories, she was in formed that her husband's clothes and effects had been sold for 17s. 6d., that the expenses were lls., and that the balance duo to her was Gs. 6d. only. Mr. Selfe.—l think there must be some mistake. The clothes were sold at Elsinore. Mrs. Farrell put the letter from her husband's shipmate into the hands of the magistrate, who, after reading it, said he was still of opinion there must be some mistake. He could not understand how lls. expenses could be incurred in selling property worth only 17s.' 6d. Mrs. Farrell.—My husband's clothes and effects, of which I have a list, were worth about £4 when ho left England, and ho had only been at sea 10 days when he lost his life. Mr. Sete.—The matter must be inquired into. The magistrate then directed Howland, a, police-con stable, No. 89 H, to proceed to the Shipping. Office t o ma k e the necessary inquiries, and report to hiuz the results 3 4 9 3 6 2 Bellona . Beacon . THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Sept. 14.—Wind this day at noon, S.E. ; strong breeze, and fine.

Bentley; - In these volumes the reader will meet with an interesting narrative of the many adventures that befel Marguerite Percival, or Rita, as she was called. This gifted and beautiful young heroine deservedly engages attention. One feels attracted by her generous nature, indignant at the unworthy treatment she met with, and charmed alike by the dexterity with which she forced her way through apparently- insurmountable difficulties, and by the spirit with which she braved perils and endured suffering. She was, of all her family, the one most likely to feel acutely the terrible position in which they were placed. Mr. Percival was a man totally devoid of refined manners and good feelings, and with such a husband and father how could the home be otherwise than desolate, and how could . the wife and children lead any but wretched lives. The brief episode of gaiety which supervened in the dulness of their existence was in itself a melancholy farce. Even inexperienced as she was, Rita could detect in her chaperone, Lady Grey brook, much that grieved and troubled her. How over' notwithstanding all the disadvantages under which she laboured; in spite of a father, whose name was a byword of reproach, and a guide into the labyrinth of the giddy maze of fashion, whom rumour whispered had herself wandered into devious paths, the native innocence and integrity of Rita vindicated itself, and all greeted her with respect. She, of course, met with some painful events, and was often placed in false positions, but on the whole she was more successful in her dan gerous ordeal than many guided and guarded by more efficient and valorous defenders. She pos sessed a sure safeguard in herself, without which all are weak, however strong are their defences, and powerless, whatever mighty champions attend them. Rita had still more terrible struggles to undergo; when one peril was past another seemed to await her. After her mother's melancholy death, she was placed in as painful a position as it was possi ble for a girl to be in. The passages which record her midnight flight from direful persecutions are most strikingly recorded, and form the best portion of the work. Our heroine was in deed destined for strange places and circumstances, and the romance of her life continues with undimi nished interest, and excites unabated interest even when she is settled in a quiet village in the north of England, under the protection of such sedate and sober individuals as Mr. Bissett and his sister. Rita is the one object that attracts through out, but still many of those she encounters in her fitful fever of existence are possessed of more than ordinary attributes to dazzle, fascinate, or charm. Some may serve as warnings, as Lady Grey brook and Mr. Percival, while others please from their very simplicity and straightforwardness, as Hubert Rochford. and Maud Neville. The clear understanding and upright nature of this latter lady were invaluable blessings in the chaos o f conflicting claims and confusing interests thatarose at the conclusion of the story. After a stormy pil grimage through the highway of life, which her youth had found beset with thorns, it is satisfac tory to leave the much-enduring and constant Rita happy in the present, and happier in the prospect and promise of the future. Some might suggest that it is unreal to depict her fate as so different to that of her sister ; but all natures have not the same mission to perform—the weak cannot bear the burdens of the strong, the faint in heart cannot fight the contests that but evoke the spirit of the dar ing and the brave. Rose Percival would have sunk at the first s i gns o f t h e s t orm , w hose whole force her sister sustained, and then turned to meet another unflinchingly. " Some must watch while others sleep," and the heroine of this work is one of the watchers, but she is also represented as full of hope. She knew that though the night was dark and the hours long that they must pass away at last, and give place to morning, and she was not disappointed in her expectation, nor deceived in her trust. There is no fear of any one who takes up this work to peruse being otherwise than delighted with its pages. They contain more than matter of amuse ment, inasmuch as they furnish subjects of reflec tion that lead to a higher goal, and point to a nobler purpose. F_RENCII ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. At the last sitting a communication was read from Father Secchi, astronomer at Rome, accom, panying the gift of an atlas of lunar phases ob tained by photography. These phases are 20 cen timetres in diameter. The manner of obtaining them is as follows :—A negative image, 45 milli metres in diameter, is taken on collodion ; it is then magnified by a large solar microscope, and a posi tive image of the size wanted may thus be obtained on a pane of glass coated with albumen. This is then used to bret a negative impression, which will in its turn give any number of positive ones on paper. Father Secchi states that all these photographs were taken in March and April, the summer mouths being very unfavourable for the operation, on account of the excessive light from the surrounding sky. The time which it takes to obtain a photograph of the full moon is not more than twenty seconds ; the moon four days old, on the contrary, will require as much as seven minutes.—M. Jolt' read a paper on the silk-worm and its diseases ; but the only new fact it contained was, that, whether the insect be fed on the colouring matter called chiea, or its body painted with it, in both cases it will spin a red cocoon.—M. Lespes read an interesting paper on the auditive apparatus of insects. The exist ence of the sense of hearing has been admitted in the latter • but where the scat of this sense was, had remained a mystery ; though most entomolo gists supposed it to exist in the antennae. M. Lespes, while expressing himself with great cau tion on the subject, nevertheless adduces certain anatomical facts which go far to confirm this opi nion. There exist, in the horny part of the antennae, certain small openings, already remarked by Ericbson, which are closed by a thin mem brane ; this seems to perform the offices of the tympanum of the car in yertelarated ani mals; behind it, M. Lespes has found a small pocket or bag filled with a viscous liquid in which there seldom fails to exist a solid body, which appears to be an otolith ; moreover, he has been able to trace one of the terminal threads of the antennal nerve to this bag. These organs greatly resemble the auditive apparatus of crustacea, which are also situated in the antennm. —M. Dumeril read a paper on the classification of the fish which constitute the echcneid group. These fish, which are deprived of the advantage of a natatory bladder, are, on the other hand, pro vided with a series of plates, situated on the ce phalic region, and arranged after the manner of Venetian blinds. They possess extreme mobility, and enable the creature to attach itself to any floating body it may happen to fall in with.—M. Kekule claimed the right of priority On the subject of certain ideas borrowed from him by M. Couper, who lately sent a communication to the Academy on a new chemical theory. In some instances quoted, the latter gentleman would seem to have appropriated nearly the same words used by the former.—M. Labarthe sent in a paper on a method of preventing the grape-blight by means of olive oil.—Part of a letter was read, addressed by M. Menabrea to the Perpetual Secretary . of the Academy, in which a short outline is given of a work lately published by M. Palcocapa , Minis t er of Public Works at Turin, on the navigation of the Danube. The author, after showing that the branch called St. George would be the most con venient, as lying nearest the Bosphorus, examines the question of effecting an easy communication with the sea by one of the natural mouths of the Danube, and proposes in that case a- series of hy draulic works, such as he himself executed. with perfect success many years ago at the port of Ma lamocco, at Venice. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION AT TOWER HILL. —Yesterday morning, shortly before two o'clock, consider able alarm was caused on Tower Hill in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a destructive fire on the premises of Mr. J. C. Reicharts, tailor.. Before the flames could be conquered the whole of the building was burnt out, and adjoining premises considerably damaged by fire and water. The origin of the fire is unknown. The contents wore insured in the Sun Fire-office. Mr. J. C. Reicharts was burnt out in Colthester-street April 4, 1857. A VETERAN SPORTSMAN.--The Duke of Cleve land, although entered upon his 71st year, is still to be found at this season pursuing his moorland shooting with the same avidity as ever. His grace, however, is showing this season the first indication of failing strength, for he is pursuing his sport on a p on y . Hith er to his stalwart frame has enabled him to accomplish what very few m en could equal. His ow n moors , extensive as they are, were n ot considered sufficient for this purpose, and he has for many years rented a large tract of moorland belonging to Mr. John Bowes, about 10,000 acres, over all which he has re gularly shot. The rate at which lie was wont to travel over the heather has proved anything but pleasant to fol low to many of his friends who joined him, and very few would venture to try his pace the second day.—Newcastle Chronicle. FEARFUL CATASTROPHE AT SHEFFIELD LAST Ni G HT.—SIX PERSONS KILLED.—A fearful calamity oc curred last night at the Surrey Music Hall, Sheffield, an imniense building, holding 4,000 people, and where a variety of amusements are carried on. The place was crowded, when some villain in the gallery fired a pistol, evidently with a view of creating alarm. The proprietor, Mr. Gou don, instantly came on the stage and succeeded in persuad ing the people to keep their .eats for the time ; but in a few minutes three or four men simultaneously rose in the gal lery, and cried—" The place is on fire." Then ensued a fearful rush. The audience, principally composed o f young persons, frantically rushed to the various outlets of the building, whilst many jumped over the gallery front into the pit. The consequences were that six persons were crushed to death, a seventh was removed to the infirmary in a dying state, and many others were seri ousl y in j ured. The disastrous affair most clearly results from a conspiracy. w AO the oliglatot oisaof any firo iii the Flaw, THE FIRE AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES AT GREENWICH. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. C. T. — CarttaFrthe coroner for West Kent, opened an inquest at the Globe Tavern, Royal-hill, Greenwich, upon the bodies of Caroline Isabella Roper, aged five and a half years, and her sister, Eliza Jane, aged one year and six months, who were burnt to death at a fire which occurred on Sunday morning last, in the house of their father. Mr. Hodsoll attended to watch the case on behalf of the Kent Fire Office, and Inspectors Marks, Barry, and Wilson attended to watch the wee on behalf of the commissioners of police. Mr. Roper having identified the bodies of the two unfortunate children, proceeded to say that the deceased and 'the Servant girl slept together in the attic. In the sitting-room, first floor, were sleep ing his wife, who had been confined only the pre vious Thursday, the nurse, and two other children. He closed shortly before 12 o'clock on Saturday night. The gas had not been put out entirely since his wife's confinement. On Sunday morning last he was awoke by an oppressive heat, and went down stairs to see what was the matter, when he was stopped by a body of flame. He then made for the room in which his wife was, and assisted her out of the window. He next tried to get back to save the baby, but was unable. He spoke to the servant who was in the attic, and he imagined that she would have. been enabled to save the two chil- . dren. After putting his wife out she fell into a cistern of water, owing to woodwork giving waif , He called out " Fire !" and a policeman came up soon after. As the fire had not then burst forth, he asked the first policeman who came up to lift him over Mr. Morley's yard so that he could get a ladder, but he would not. Several others came up but they only pushed him about. By the Coroner—l entreated the officers to ren der me assistance to procure a ladder, but it was no good, and they then commenced pulling the shut ters down. I begged of them not to do so, as it would kill the children. I knew the nature of ' such a proceeding—that it would cause the fire to spread more rapidly. If they had not done so there would have been plenty of time to rescue the two children. By a juror—l escaped through the next house. Eight or ten minutes elapsed before the escape arrived. Elizabeth - Waterfall, servant to Mrs. Roper, said that she went to bed just before Mr. Roper, who was the last person downstairs. She slept in the attic with both the deceased children. 'There was another bed in the room, but as the boy was out it was not occupied. By the Coroner—l was awoke by Mr. Roper calling out, and on opening the door found the fire coming up the stairs. I did not close the door after I opened it, as I forgot to do so. I knew that it was impossible for me to save the children. I was taken down the escape. I did not hear any one about the house when I we* to bed. I took a lighted rushlight with me to my bedroom, which I placed in a Washhand basin, but it was not lighted in the shop. Frederick Hay croft, of the It division, said that he noticed a light in Mr. Roper's front shop. He went to the house and saw that the light was over the shop door. He sprang his rattle, took out his truncheon, and k noc k e d v i o l en tl y a t the street door and shutters. By the Coroner.--It was eight minutes to four when he discovered the fire. Two police officers came up, and he sent one for the escape, and one for a ladder. The one who went for the ladder came back and said that he could not get one. Mr. Roper told him that his two children were in the house. He told him that he could not get them out, and that he had sent for the escape. A gen tleman Went for the escape, but it did not arrive for 12 or 15 minutes. He saw the roof fall in half an hour after the escape was brought to the spot and after the young woman was brought down. Ebenezer Hodd; 123 R, said that he called Smart, the conductor of the escape, three times before he answered. He believed that he was asleep at the time, and was not sober. _ Smart emphatically denied this accusation, and his evidence was confirmed by several highly re spectable tradesmen, including Mr. Moore, the landlord of the Globe. It was then decided to adjourn the inquiry for additional evidence. SIIOCKIXG DEATH OF A CRICKETER. Within an hour after the close of the grand cricket match between the Eleven of - England and Twenty of Rochdale, on Saturday evening,a shock ing accident occurred on the railway, which pro duced a very painful sensation in Rochdale, and which terminated in the death of Mr. Thos. Hunt, the well-known cricketer. Gentlemen who reside in• the neighbourhood of Oldham-road, Rochdale, have made it a very common practice, with a view to shorten the distance, to get upon the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at MilkstOne, and to walk thence to the pavilion.on the cricket ground, which abuts upon the line. Mr. Hunt, at the close of the game, was requested to stop in Rochdale, in order to attend a banquet at a quarter past seven o'clock, to be held at the Wellington Hotel. He refused, saying that it would cost him less to go home, and, after packing up his cricketing materials, he en gaged a man named John Wild to carry them to the Rochdale station. Unfortunately, without any leave whatever, the example of walking on the line had increased very much during the match, and large numbers entered the cricket ground on Saturday that way. Mr. T. Hunt and the man Wild determined to walk upon it to the sta tion. Wild went a short distance before Mr. Hunt, and the latter ineautiously'picked his road between the up rails, and when he had gone a distance of about 200 yards, and had nearly reached the houses at Milkstone, Wild heard the whistling of an en gine, and turned round to look what it was. 'lt was a train due at Rochdale station from Manches ter at 6.50. He saw the danger in which Mr. Hunt was, but was too far off to render him the slightest assistance. He appedred to be in a complete state of bewilderment and unable to discover a place of safety. He turned round quickly, and in a moment was caught by the buffer of the engine, which threw him down on the rails. Both his legs and his left hand were across the rails, and in that posi tion the train passed over him, cutting off both legs across the calves, except a few shreds of skin and flesh, and smashing all the fingers of his left hand, over which the wheels seem to have gone in a slant ing direction. Some of the passengers, attracted no doubt by the gay appearance of the cricket field, were looking out, and saw a man on the line and lustily called out. The driver did all that he eould to stop his train, but was unable to do so until the accident occurred. A number of people from the adjoining house jumped on the line to render assist ance. The train went forward to the station to apprise the officials of the accident, and the people procured a labourer's truck close by, lifted the un fortunate man upon it, and conveyed him to the station, under the directions of Mr. Cross, the sta tion-master. Mr. Hunt was then removed to the Fleece Inn, adjoining the station. Mr. Cross in stantly telegraphed to Dr. Harrison, of Manchester, the company's surgeon, but he had left for Hudders field. Mr. Ogden, surgeon, was then called in, and he sent for Mr. Bowers, and in a short time. after Messrs. Sellars, Coventry, and Wood (assistants to Mr. Lawton) arrived, and rendered all the assistance they could to the unfortunate man. No hemor rhage of any moment took place. The rough man ner in which the limbs were mutilated caused the vessels to contract. Shortly. before 9 o'clock Mr. Sellars announced that Mr. Hunt was dying. Mr . Cross had telegraphed for his wife, who was ex pected to meet him ht the Manchester station. Dr. Molesworth, the vicar, was sent for to administer consolation to the dying man. The latter arrived just when the spark of life had fled, and Mr. Hunt's wife came by the train which leaves Manchester at 8.15 p.m., and was five minutes too late to sec him alive. It has been reported that Mr. Hunt was in toxicated at the time, but this is not true ; he had had a glass or two, and boasted , b efore leavin g the ground, that he had spent very little during the match. Ile appears to have lost all self-possession, and the shock to his system by the accident Fo duced almost immediate delirium, which continued till within a few minutes of his death, when he be came se nsible, but his voice was ver y f ee bl e . H e c alled for his friend James Clegg, who had never left him from the time the accident occurred. In person he was remarkably good-looking, being somewhat• portly. lie was much admired on the field during the match by the spectators. He was born at Chesterfield in the year 1819. By trade he ' was a coachmak er • but for the last 14 yea rs he has been a professional cricketer, and a great portion of that time in the service of the Manchester Club, by whom he was much respected. He generally played with the United All-England Eleven, and in his time was considered th e best s . ngle-wicket player in England. In the match at Rochdale, e,Hunt was wicket its wi keeper. He one of the profession al players "given" kt to the Rochdale Club , and a cted as leaves behind :our children—a daughter about 17 years of age by his first wife , and three children by his present wifi , , the eldest of whom is about nine years of age.--Manclie • Guardian of yes_ erclay. • POSTAGE ON LETTERS FOR BARBADOES, TRIM DAD AND ST.
