MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The return from the Bank of England made up fir the week ending the Ist September, shows some rather satisfactory features. The increase in the bullion, however, has not been so large as was gene rally anticipated, owing, in a great measure, to the demand for coin to pay for agricultural labour at this season of the year. There has been a small addition to the reserve of notes, but the other securities show a rather large increase owing to the advances made on Government Stocks. Both the public and pri vate deposits exhibit a slight augmentation, but in the active circulation there is a diminution. There has been a large increase in the rest, and should this be the final addition previous to the declaration of a dividend, it is estimated that the probable rate will be 42 per cent. In the other items of the balance s'aeet these is little variation of importance.

Some anxiety is felt with regard to houses connected with Liverpool, owing to certain embarrassments which have lately been experienced; but it is hoped that effective means have been taken to avoid further disasters. The rates for money in Lombard-street have again advanced to about 21 and 3 per cent., whilst at the Bank of England the applications are also on a more exten sive scale than for some time past. Several heavy ban instalments will shortly have to; be provided for, and this, it is presumed, will assist in main taining the inquiry on a larger scale than has been experienced for a considerable period. The following particulars of the number and tonnage of vessels now on the berth in the port of London, for the various Australian colonies, is taken from the usual monthly list published by Mr. Miller of the Jerusalem Coffee-house : Vessels.

The sales amounted to 7,000 bales. The Directors of the Port-Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received adviccs from their resident director, dated Melbourne, 14th July last. The operations at Clunes had been going on 'ery well. During the month of June, 1,405 tons of quartz were crushed, against 1,098 tons in the previous month. The yield of gold was 2,136 oz. 7 dwt. The cost of crushing averaged £1 Bs. 9d. per ton for the month. The result of the six months' working showed 7,055 tons quartz crushed ; the sum paid for crushing the same amounted to £18,240 - 4s. 7d. ; the expenditure, £11,370 14s. 3 d. ; profit, £6,809 10s. 4d. The machinery had been in full work for about six weeks, and showed an average of 350 tons of quartz crushed per week, and when the 20 Head Battery is thoroughly re- Paired, its efficiency would be much increased. A further remittance, amounting to £1,500, has been received on account of dividend. The quantity of gold melted during the month of Lune amounted to 38,376 oz., and during the six months to 234,970 oz., and showed a profit of X 637,133. The Clunes Mining Company have divided dur ing the 12 months £17,600 in the shape of divi dends, or £l6O per share, in addition to expending nearly £6,000 in e x tra labour and materials. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £641,991, and the exports £88,986, ex clusive of the following shipment direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last :—Rotterdam, Silver bars, 4,000 ozs. The i:nglish Funds are rather dull but very 611 11, and with a slight upward tendency. Consols have been 9611 for money, and 961 1 for October. While business continues so dull, any important movement in the upward direction can scarcely be e xpected, but the favourable specie movement, and ether influences, promote :considerable firmness. Bank Stock remains steady at 2281. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are quoted, 971 a ; the New 21 per Cents„ 811 ; the June Exchequer 13 i 11 s, 255. pm. ; India Stock is rather firmer, viz., 216 ; ditto Loan Debentures, 981 . 7-; ditto Scrip, 3 d issue, 97i.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been 'very limited, and the variations in prices unim- Portant. One or two of the principal lines, how ever, show a slight improvement. Great Western have advanced 55., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Eastern North-Eastern (Berwick) declined 10 s., and ' lo i'th-Eastern (York), 10s. Brighton, Midland, and North and South-Westerns were at previous quo tations. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very inactive and show no material alteration in prices. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there was only a limited inquiry. Bank of Australia improved ss. ; London and Westminister, 88 - ; and Ottoman Bank, Os. In the Miscellaneous Market no change of any importance took place in prices. 8 mak BRITISH Stock P 2 FUNDS—CLOSING RICES. 28f a 991 I per Cent. Reduced Annuities ," Per Cent.

HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND. ABERDEEN, Thursday.—The weather having been exceedingly fine, yesterday a very large con course of people assembled in the show ground, notwithstanding that is. from each visitor was charged for admission. The show of implements was greatly enhanced by the addition of the trial machines that had been used in the field on Tues day, and the working of various models which the exhibitors managed to put in practical operation. But the English exhibitors complain that they have not been able to do justice to their implements and machines in this respect in consequence of the rules of the show. At the Royal Agricultural Society of England each exhibitor has a space of ground for his own productions and the judges, after looking them over carefully, order selections to be made for trial, and then there is a classification of articles selected, but in this show-yard the classifica tion is made when the entries are registered, so that an exnibitor from England, if he has sent his ar ticles under the charge of one man qualified to describe them, has the mortification of seeing one thing put into one place and the other parts of his collection placed some hundreds of yards apart from it, the uses of some of the machines being necessarily more inferred than fully known by the judges who award the prizes. Here also there is a great drawback to the comfort of the exhibition from want of cover. The whole yard, containing 14 acres of ground, is exposed, so that had the weather been rainy the exhibition must have been a failure. The show to-day was the largest and most im portant of all the exhibitions of the society. There were no fewer than 450 cattle, 180 horses, 590 sheep, 79 pigs, and 366 articles of daily produce on the ground. The progress of the society will, however, best appear when we put these entries in comparison with those of 1834 and 1847, when the society exhibited their stock at Aberdeen :- 1834. 1840. 1847. 1858. Cattle lBB .. 269 .. 361 .. 450 Sheep 192 .. 126 .. 230 .. 590 Pigs Horses . 77 88 .. 105 .. 189 Total .. 515 .. 544 .. 720 .. 1,308 The cattle shown to-day presented a yet more gratifying proof of progress than the increased number of entries indicates, for instead of oxen fed up without much regard to symmetry or cost of feeding, the whole of the animals were carefully fed, and the prize stock was held by the judges to be the finest that had ever passed through their hands. In 1834 the prize ox was fed by the late Earl of Kintore, and was such a shapeless and un wieldy animal that he had to be literally drawn to the show hard on a cart prepared for the purpose ; but no animal appeared to-day with points to com plain of, and all the exhibitors were complimented on their strict adherence to the condition which obliges the breeder to aim at producing the best possible animal at the lowest possible cost in feeding. In the department of short-horns and polled breeds the show was very extensive, and a severe competition took place between the chief breeders of Scotland and England. The first prize for bulls calved before Jan., 1856, was gained by Mr. Wetherell, of Darlington, bred by himself. Mr. Douglas, Athelstaneford, Drem, got the first prize for a very fine cow, and took several other prizes by stockwhich had been successful at the great shows of England and Ireland ; but the native short-horns were quite a match for the stock from the south on this occasion. The polled breed was chiefly sup ported Mr. M'Combie, of Tillyfour, who carried off the first prizes in every section, and received a medal given by the French Government, and gold medal given by the Highland Society, in addition to prizes, the former medal being given for an aged bull bred to Mr. Bowie, and now in Mr. M'Combie's hands. A prize cow of this stock brought £B5 at Mr. M'Combie's sale last year. The competition was remarkable to-day, also, as being a keen con test on equal terms between landholders and tenants, the result being in favour of the latter. Lord Strathallan, the Earl of Southesk, Lord Kinnaird, and other noblemen took prizes for prime stock ; but Mr. Harvey, of Tilly greig, Mr. Hay, of She thin, Mr. Martin, Aberdeen, Mr. Cruickshank, of Sittyton, and other practical farmers, in short horns and crosses, carried away the leading prizes, and for fat oxen their stock was pronounced per fect. The show of horses was a very fine one, but not equal to the Clydesdale show of last year. There were some very superior draught stallions, and, from the large number entered in competition, the progress of improvement was very evident. The sheep were much admired, especially the native breeds ; but the Cheviots were in large numbers, and the prizes were carried away chiefly by the south country breeders. The society has never succeeded in eliciting any thing like a general interest in the breeding of swine in Scotland ; but the 79 pigs shown to-day were superior to these at former shows. There was a good display of dairy produce, and it is worthy of notice here that, after long and arduous competition among churn-markers, the first prize has been awarded to Mr. Philip Hunter, of Edinburgh, for an improvement on the old plump churn, by which butter shown to-day was made in 18 minutes. There was a large number of entries for fowls, and here again, after a severe contest, the Cochin China has had to yield to the lively Dorking and the common barn-yard fowl. As 'accessory to the show, there was an exhibi tion of flowers, and a remarkable display was made of an almost endless variety of native and natu ralised sorts. . There have been one or two lectures on agricul ture connected with the exhibition, and to-night there is to be a public dinner, presided over by the Duke of Atholl, in place of the Prince Consort, who was at one time expected to be present and take the chair. The attendance in the show-yard to-day was the largest ever known in connexion with the exhibi tions of the society. At one time it is believed that there were from 15,000 to 20,000 per sons in the show-yard. The city is quite full, and lodgings have been for some days at a premium. The most perfect order prevailed throughout the grounds to-day, notwithstanding the immense crowd, and all the arrangements of the committee, under the able direction of the secretary, Mr. Hall Maxwell, have been admirably carried out. A MAIDEN SPEECH. The following exquisitely graphic descriptiOn of a maiden speech in the House of Commons we ex tract from a brilliant ardcle, closing the September number of Blackicoas Magazine. Few will fail to recognise the master-hand to which the readers of " Maga " are indebted for the paper in question, entitled "The Commons at Cherbourg," the hand that has already penned " Ten. Thousand a-year." The subjoined is manifestly a fragment of truthful autobiography : " I was present, too, when you made your debut," said one, turning to another, who good-naturedly gave the fol lowing account of his passage through that terrible ordeal. " I had resolved not to open my lips during my first ses sion," said he, "and kept my resolution firmly during the three months, except that I had once to present a petition ; and when the Speaker suddenly called out my name, for which, at the moment, I was not prepared, a mist came over my eye, and the paper trembled in my hands, during the few inarticulate words in which I endeavoured to indi cate its object. it up,' quoth the late Speaker, in that melodious voice of his, which will never be forgotten by those who heard It ; an 3 having handed in my petition to the clerk, he crammed it, with a matter-of-fact air, into a bag, and so ended my first experiment on the indul gence of the house. At length, however, I was urged by one whose position entitled him to be heard with respect, to endeavour to address the house, for several reasons ; which he urged so forcibly, that I reluctantly assented, and promised, but with an inward spasm, to speak on a particular question, when it next came before the house. It was one of great public interest and importance, but not within the category of party questions. Shortly afterwards I left town, and took an early opportunity of shaping my thoughts into a short address. Tho subject was one with which I was familiar, and yet I was so nervously appre hensive and fastidious, that I wrote out my speech eight times before I could please myself ! I should have gone on writing it, up to the present moment, if I had not reflected that I had just three weeks time left to commit it to memory—" " Commit it to memory " inquired one or two surpris edly—" why, surely, you were no novice in pub—" " Yes—l committed it to memory, verbatim et ?iteration, for breaking the ice of the House of Commons is a fearful business to any ono. If I repeated it once, I /wetted it at least a hundred times—whenever I had the opportunity of being alone ! I tried, moreover, to prepare myself for the awful moment at which, on my rising, the cry of New Member would cause every other who had risen, not so entitled, to resume his seat, leaving me standing in solitary possession' of that fearful house I kept my own coun sel ; and as the appointed day drew near, and I thought of the break-down' which would be ruthlessly recorded by the truthful reporters, and amuse so many good-natured pitying friends round the breakfast-tables, and at the c l u bs, next morning — felt myself more :and more disposed to give the thing up in despair. At length arrived the day, big with my little fate. I repeated the speech in my dressing-room that morning, as usual, but, alas I more inaccurately than over, and felt sick at heart. I dined, very slightly, at three o'clock, and shortly afterwards took a glass of port wine, with an egg beaten up in it to clear my , voice. Then down to the house I went, sighing at every ;step With anxiety two apprdmoiou, afraid to look any body in the face, and lapsed into a sudden taciturnity, and took my seat on one of the back benches, coldas death. Presently entered the noble lord who was to open the dis cussion, and my heart began to beat. He was one of only two who knew that I should attempt to speak. Oh, how I en vied his perfect self po, s :ar ion ! his practical knowledge of the house, and his own weight and position in it ! Then another, and another, and another rose ; I getting less and less self-possessed, as time wore on. I had resolved to wait till the house had, so to speak, ebbeddown to dead low din ner point, viz., eight o'clock. ' You're going to speak— it's written all over your face,' said Sir next to me, good-humor redly. I whispered in the affirma tive ; for at that particular moment I dared not tell a fib Well, you won't rise before nine, of course, and I'll run and get dinner I That will do, won't it ?" Yes,' I faltered, inwardly adding' By that time it will do, or I shall have been done for Away he went; and resolving to follow the speaker who next rose, I slipped out to the refreshment stand, and took a glass of Seltzer-water, with a small dash of cognac in it, and returned to my seat. Thsre were then about thirty members in the house, but among them, most of the leading men, on whose absence I had ry , xiously cel.- culated. I glanced at the reporters' gallery, and down again, in trepidation ; the strangers' gallery was crowded, the one might have to chronicle what the other would vlt ness—a break-down I ' For these reasons, sir,' quoth the speaker then on his legs,lookinground for his hat, I shall unhesitatingly—' I heard no more ; down he sat ; my heart knocked against my ribs almost audibly ; I trembled from head to foot ; I took off my hat, up rose seven or eight members ; Shall I rise ?' I gasped to myself : I did rise very slowly ; then the cry new member appalled my ear ; every one of the disappointed memberslooked sternly, or at least with pique, at me, for whom they were forced to suppress their statistics and eloquence a little, it might be, a very little longer ! and left me standing alone. At that moment the lively image rose before my mind's eye, of a solitary culprit arrived at his last moment on the scaffold. I had my written speech in my pocket; what world I not have given for leave to read the well-worn familiar little document, bodily, to the complaisant house? However, I began, huskily, trembling , like an aspen leaf, and got through my first two sentences ; oh ! the dismal horrid silence there was. " ' Ay, I was there, I perfectly recollect ; it was intense, and I felt for you,' interrupted the Deputy-Sergeant-at- Arms. " At the end of the second or third sentence my memory failed me ; I slipped, so to speak, off the rail,' and thought 'here Igo I' I managed, however, to throw in an allusion to the noble lord who had opened the debate, that enabled me to recollect myself; and I happily got on the line again But, (elle affrense silence continued. Not one solitary ' hear' frOm any part of the house ; nor any whispering, or any convervation, which I should have hailed as an in expressible mild! Scribble, scribble, scribble went the pens of the ruthless recording angels in the gallery to my right. I thought of them for an instant with terror. After I had been speaking about five minutes, thank Heaven I a kindly and decided hear issued il-om the opposite side, followed by one or two on my own side ; the effect was truly inspiriting on me ; the house had seen the agitation with which I was speaking, and generously encouraged me, till at length I was enabled to get through a speech of 25 minutes' time, without hax inegnissed more than a word or two of what I had prepared ; having had presence of mind, moreover, to throw in one or two alinsions to what had fallen from preceding speakers, and resumed my seat ; having delivered my maiden speech, which I would not have to do again for a thousand pounds I" " How were you received when you sate down ?" " Ah, that does not signify I" " Well, how did you figure in the papers next morning ?" asked one. " At much greater length than I had the least right to expect, and in two of the chief ones, almost word for word." " Whew I" exclaimed a young member, who had lis tened very anxiously, " I'm disposed, after this, to put off my little business till the Greek Kalends—" TIIE COUNCIL OF INDIA. Yesterday, at 2 o'clock, the new Indian Council met for the first time. They assembled in the board room in which the Court of Directors have been for `ears accustomed to hold their meetings, at the India-house, in Leadenhall-street. Lord Stanley, the Secretary of State for India, arrived at the India-house half an hour before th e time of meet ing. Mr. Henry Baillie, joint secretary to the Board of Control, and Sir George Clerk, the per manent secretary, were also in attendance. The members of the Council present were :—Sir Fred. Currie, late Chairman of the Court of Directors ; Sir Henry Rawlinson, General Sir Robert Vivian, Sir Henry Montgomery, Mr. J. P. Willoughby, Mr. Wm. Arbuthnot, Mr. Mills, Sir James Weir Hogg, Mr. Elliott Macnaghten, Captain Eastwick, and Mr. H. T. Prinsep. The first six are nominees of the Crown, and the remainder are part of the elected members. Sir John Lawrence, one of the eight nominated members, was, of course, absent, as was also Sir Proby Cautley, another of the Cown nominees. The whole of the elected mem bers were in attendance, except Captain Shepherd, who was absent from indisposition, and Mr. R. D. Mangles, who is understood to be on the Continent and absent from a similar cause. At two o'clock Lord Stanley took the chair, and announced the names of the members to whom her Majesty, by virtue of the power conferred on her by the Act, had been pleased to nominate to the Council. A return of the members elected by the Court of Directors was also formally made, and the Council was then constituted. The sitting, which lasted upwards of two hours, was occupied chiefly in settling the future mode of procedure ; and the President, in exercise of the authority conferred upon him by the Act, divided the Council into committees, for the more convenient transaction of business, and also nominated the Vice-President, selecting for that office from among the Council, Sir Frederick Currie, the late chairman of the East India Company.

CARDIFF STAKES.—The clerk of the course has received a written notice from the owner of Master Bagot, not to pay the stakes to the owner of Grillft4e,n the grounds that the mare was not properly "passed" by the clerk of the scales, and, moreover, that she is in arrear for forfeits, ALLEGED MURDER OF A PUBLICAN BY HIS WIFE AT DUDLEE DUDLEY, WEDNEMAY NIGHT. This case continues to create considerable excite ment, and several circumstances have tended to in crease rather than diminish it within the last two days. In the first place, the county magistrates, after hearing the evidence against Mrs. Webster (wife of the deceased), came to the conclusion, on Monday, that two of her daughters had assi4ted in the attack upon their parent, and that the injuries he had received had resulted in his death. The woman and her two daughters, and a pen-on named Edward Oliver, who was proved to have taken part in the outrage, were therefore committed to take their trials at the forthcoming assizes for wilful murder. _ _ Yesterday evening, Mr. H. Robinson, the co roner, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of the unfortunate man Web ster, at the Swan Inn, and the coroner took occa sion to express his disapprobation at the conduct of the magistrates in hearing the case, and coming to a decision upon it before the inquest had termi nated. Such a course was, he thought, to say the least, unusual, and he believed he was deserving of more respect than had been shown him by the Jus tices before whom the police inquiry had been con ducted. The evidence was very voluminous, and went clearly to prove that the deceased was knocked down in his own house, and beaten by his wife about the head with a poker, which was completely bent by the force of the blows. His daughters as sisted their mother, and the unfortunate man was beaten and kicked in so violent a manner that he died soon afterwards. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the mother and daughters, expressing an opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify a similar verdict against the man accused of assisting in the outrage. THE VICTORIA CROSS. (From the Gazette of yesterday.) WAR-OFFICE, SEPT. 3. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the Decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer and soldier, who have been re commended to her Majesty for that Deepration on account of Acts of Bravery performed by them in riulia, as recorded against their respective names, viz.:- Lieutenant (now Captain) Frederick Robertson Aikman, 4th Bengal Native Infantry—This officer, commanding the 3d Sikh Cavalry on the a d vance d piequet,, with 100 of his men, having obtained information, just as tho force marched on the morning of the Ist of March last, of the proximtty, three miles off the high road, of a body of 500 rebel infantry, 200 horse, and 2 guns, under Moosahib Ali Chuckbdar, attacked and utterly routed them, cutting up more than 100 men, capturing two guns, and driving the survivors into and over the Goomtee.• This feat was per formed under every disadvantage of broken ground, and partially under the flanking fire of an adjoining fort. Lieut. Aikman received a severe sabre cut in the face in a persosal encounter with several of the enemy. Gunner William Connolly, Bengal Horse Artillery.— This soldier is recommended for the Victoria Cross for his gallantry in action with the enemy, at Jhelum, on the 7th of July, 1857. Lieutenant Cookes, Bengal Horse Artillery, reports, that " about daybreak on that day, I advanced my half troop at a gallop, and engaged the enemy within easy musket range. The sponge-man of one of my guns having been shot during the advance, Gunner Connolly assumed the duties of 2d sponge-man, and he had barely assisted in two discharges of his gun, when a musket-ball, through the left thigh, felled him to the ground ; nothing daunted by pain and loss of blood, he was endeavouring to resume his post, when I ordered a movement in retirement, and though se verely wounded, he was mounted on his horse in the gun team, and rode to the next position which the guns took up, and manfully declined going to the rear when the ne cessity of his so doing was represented to him. About 11 o'clock, a.m., when the guns were still in action, the same gunner, whilst sponging, was again knocked down by a musket-ball striking him on the hip, thereby causing great faintness and partial uncon sciousness, for the pain appeared excessive 2 and the blood flowed fast. On seeing this, I gave directions for his removal out of action; but this brave man hearing me, staggered to his feet, and said, 'No, sir, I'll not go there, whilst I can work here,' and shortly afterwards he again resumed his post as sponge-man. " Late in the afternoon of the same day, my three guns wore engaged at one hundred yards from the walls of a vil lage with the defenders, viz., the 14th N.I. (mutineers), amidst a storm of bullets which did great execution. Gun.. ner Connolly, although suffering severely from his two previous wounds, was wielding his sponge with an energy and courage which attracted the admiration of his com rades, and while cheerfully encouraging a wounded man to hasten in bringing up the ammunition, a musket ball tore through the muscles of his right leg; but with the most undaunted bravery he struggled on; and not till he had loaded six times did this man give way, when, through loss of blood, he fell in my arms, and I placed him on a waggon, which shortly afterwards bore him in a state o f unconsciousness from the fight." FROM THE GAZETTE OF YESTERDAY. At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the 2d day of September, 1858, present, the Queen's Most Excel lent Majesty in Council.
