TO-MORROW'S EARLY-CLOSING FRTE.—Among the special attractions provided by-the Early Closing Asso ciation for to-morrow's fete at the Crystal Palace, promi nently stands the popular name of Clara, Novell°, whose clear, powerful, bell-like voice is so peculiarly adapted for, and always produces so charmingly, thrilling an effect in, the vast area of the great transept. In addition to the concert, in which other popular singers will-take part, there will be special amusements of an out-door character, including archery, cricket, and a great wrestling match by warehousemen and others, for prizes. With such a striking bill of fare, and the charge of admission being one shilling only, it may be expected that a considerable number of persons will avail tbeixtrfrll t to l ithe opportunity, the more specially as it will be 'll alT6 .4 tellois last appearance in London this season, , and' the fete being in aid of the Nail of a moat =tea charity, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have been moderately active during the last few days. Holders of most of the principal staples, however, have demanded high ratesZand this has in some measure checked business. Tea has been steady, and the advices by the overland mail have had but little influence upon prices. For sugar 'there has been • a moderate inquiry. The better qualities suitable for home consump tion have realised slightly higher values. Good qualities of Plantation Ceylon coffee have been in rather active request, and full rates have been current, Rice and rum have been dealt in to a very limited extent at about former quotations. The late arrivals of new fruit have met a ready sale, and the quality being good, full rates have been realised. Saltpetre has been in moderate demand with little alteration in prices ; and tallow has been firm, the large arrivals from St. Petersburg having slightly - affected values. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday a moderate business was transacted, 10,000 bales hav ing been disposed of at firm quotations. The Rail way Share Market opened with great firmness, but at the close was scarcely so buoyant. The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester day was £BO,OOO. Silver is rather firmer, but busi ness is very dull. There is still a very limited demand for discount accommodation, and the terms rather tend down , wards. Unless a sudden movement in the adverse direction takes place, the Bank authorities may be indUced to grant increased accommodation, . either in advances at a lower rate, or by a reduction of the minimum. The Bank return this evening is expected to show some very important changes, especially as 'regards the bullion, which must now approach £19,000,000. As the applica tions for discount have also been very moderate, and few loans on stock are presumed to have been negociated, the " other securities" will probably exhibit a further diminution. - - There has been a moderate amount of business n ..the market for Public Securities to-day, but speculation continues very dull, and few purchases for investment are reported. Some unfavourable rumours were circulated this morning, which enabled the jobbers to cause a little temporary weakness, but the improving tendency has again manifested itself, and with such a continuous flow of money into the Bank, prices will no doubt be forced still higher. Consols have been 971 I for money, and 971 I, for transfer. _ They are now 971 t and 971, respectively. India Llan Debentures are 98/ d, being steady, ditto Scrip, second issue, 981 1, and ditto Bonds, 16s. - The March Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at . 378. prem., ditto Bonds at 1004, which is a slight decline. - _ The Turkish Scrip continues dull and heavy. It is now quoted par to I prem., but there is very little business in progress. The present depression is attributed to a small supply of stock, some of the weak holders being no doubt anxious to retire before the next call becomes due; SeCurities are rather active, and prices are steady.

The chair was occu pied by Mr. Jackson, M.P. for Birkenhead. The usual routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN then rose to move the adoption of the report. In doing so the hon. gentleman referred to the principal points alluded to in the document, and expressed his gratification at the position of the undertaking. The adjustment of all claims chargeable to capital, enabled the directors to render the statement of expenditure on that account, in a more complete shape this half-year than heretofore. As a necessary consequence, however, a large sum appeared added to the expenditure for the past half- year, which in fact was comprised almost entirelyof accounts hitherto in dispute, and therefore not included in the printed statements, and of amounts which, being unpaid, could not form form part of a return of sums actually ex pended. Of the amount under the head of Parliamentary charges, the sum of. £1,472 18s. sd. had been expended, during the past half-year, on the Bill promoted in Parlia ment, and approved by the proprietors at a special meeting on 25th of June last ; the remainder was the balance of an account still unpaid, and which formed a portion of the liabilities of the company. The directors had the pleasure of reporting that the act, obtained during the last session of Parliament, to autho rise arrangements between the company and the London and North-Western Company had received the Royal assent ; and they trust that 4, under the powers thus ob tained,' such arrangementi - , would be shortly concluded, and submitted to the proprietors for approval, as would enable the associated companies to enter upon the contract with Government for improved postal and passenger communication, between England and Ireland. A statement of assets and liabilities exhibited an esti mated balance of £15,282 1 ls. in favour of the company, after liquidation of all claims, including replacement of the revenue receipts applied to the payment of capital charges, and, in looking over a comparative statement of traffic re ceipts, a decrease of £4,573 10s. in the earnings of the railway for the past-year, as compared with the corresponding period of the year previous would be found. The falling off, it would be observed, was principally under the head of " goods," and was attributable almost entirely to a decrease.in the mineral traffic during the past half year, consequent on the general stagnation of trade ; the receipts from merchandise traffic had not been affected, unless in respect of the increase which, under other circumstances, might have been expected. A balance of £56,148 18s. id. is shown to the credit of Revenue Account, which after providing for Debenture interest, and other first charges, leaves the sum of £12,351 17s. sd. available for division. The directors, therefore recommend the declaration of a dividend, as for six months, at the rate of 5f per cent. per annum, on the First Pre ference Stock of the company ; and as for three months, to 31st Deaember, - 1857, at 'the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, on the Second Preference Stock, leaving a balance of X 1,663 Bs. 7d. to be carried forward to the current half-year. The engineer's report stated that the permanent way and way and works were in a very efficient condition, two of the timber bridges having been replaced with stone structures, and all the others thoroughly repaired. The superintendent of the company's steamboats reported that the whole of the vessels ware in excellent work Recife& S. Fran. (Perna gua. 7 p. et.

The motion having been seconded, the report was, after a short discussion, adopted, and resolutions were also passed authorising the payment of the dividend therein mentioned. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were agreed to, authorisigg the creation of debenture shares bearing a preferential dividend, at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, to be substituted for the existing mortgage debt of the company; an arrangement which the directors trusted would secure a permanent reduction in the rate of interest. The proceedings terminated withthe usual complimentary Tote of thanks to the chairman. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1858. SH. ERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) OF AN APPLICATION. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. LAW' INraLLIGENCE—(.77ris Day.) ATKINSON V. GOWATf., , --.A - CHEAP REMEDY.--IMPENSES In this case, an action for trover, defendant had returned the goods, but Mr. Clark, of Bedford-row, for plaintiff, applied for his fee, or rather made the following observa tions :—Sir, I have to call your Honour's attention to a fact of very considerable importance to the suitors of this court. Defendant h-as returned my client's goods ; but now there is a question of my fee, and I find that before I can apply to your Ho non* must pay £2 ss. hearing fees for the purpose of receiving my fee of 30s. Now, I think this is particularly hard, as this also is a court of equity, and at no other court is a suftor called upon to pay fees of hearing upon merely making an application. Defendant is not here, and there is no hearing, but merely an application. His Honour said such was the rule of the court. The rules were made by the Recoeder, Common Sergeant, and the late judge of thiscourt, and though t hey were sadly in want of ne* ones yet these must do for . the present. The mat ter then dropped. Mr. Clarke expressed his determina tion of norpaying the fee, as he did not feel justified in put ting the defendae i t to any expense he was bound to consider almost infamous. SMALL V. STOKING..--ILLEGAL DISTRAINT.--IMPORTANT' This was an action to recover damages for an illegal distraint by plaintiff upon defendant's goods. Mr. Barnard, counsel, instructed by Mr. Ashley, appeared for the plain • tiff. From the statement of the learned Counsel and the evidence of plaintiff, a widow with three children, it appeared that plaintiff had occupied apartments in defendant's house at 7s. 6d. per week, and that she had given notice upon which she might at any time remove without giving a formal week's notice. Accordingly upon a certain Friday she called a van to the door, and commenced loading her goods thereon. Defendant came up at the time, and plaintiff said to hiin, " Well, I am very glad you've come, you've saved me the trouble of coming down to you," at the same time paying defendant 10s. rent, due up to the previous Monday. Plaintiff did not tell defendant where she was going to (some place in Hackney), but about a week or so afterwards defendant put in a distress for one week's rent, due the Monday after the Friday she had removed. Now, it is against all law to levy a distraint upon goods which were remoVkl before' this rent accrued, and defendant's proper course would have been a summons in one of the County Courts. This he did not do, but a man was put in possession, who remained six days, and plaintiff had to pay 7s. 6d. rent, 3s. levy, and 15s. man in possession, in all £1 ss. 6d. ; and defendant had met this case by paying £1 3s. 6d. into court. After some observations from the other side, his Honour said it was simply a question of damages, and no doubt an illegal distress had been levied. The jury, after a short consultation, found for plaintiff, damages, £lO (including the £1 3s, 6d. paid into court.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(Thi s Day.) WILFUL DAMAGE.—William Marsh, assistant to Mrs. M. Johnson, of 30, Burlingtona-rcade, 'was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass value £3. The prosecutrix said the accused for some 'time past had given way to habits of intoxication, and when in that state was exceedingly: violent. On the previous day, having demanded a few shillings of her daughter, and being refused by her, he rushed up into the shop in a very excited manner, and smashed the pane of glass in question. She was frightened he would do further mischief if not restrained, as he was so very violent. She did Aot wish to hurt him, and she did not think he could pay the damage. All she wanted was protection. Mr. Bingham said that she should have that, but she must let him do it in his own way, and that was by ordering him to pay £3, the amount of the damage, or be committed to prison for one month.

It is proposed to adopt the uniform of the 42d Royal Highlanders, and the only thing now wanting for the embodiment of a full regiment in " the garb of old Gaul" is a charter from the State.—Caledonian Mercury. COUNT YERSIGNY.----"We understand that the late French Ambassador to St. James's is at present on a visit to Scotland, and is staying with Count Flahault at his seat of Tulliallan, near Alloa.-Scotsman. FATAL FALL FROM A HOUSE.—INQUEST.---YeS terday afternoon, Mr. Brent, deputy coroner, held an in quiry at the Middlesex Hospital as to the death of Alfred Sheldereck, aged 27. Deceaw4:l, who was by trade a cooper, had since Christmas last been unsettled in mind, and occa sionally addicted to habits of intemperance. On Sunday after noon last'he went to his parents, No. 5, Upper Rathbone place, and, entering n room where his mother was sitting alone, hastily shutting the door, exclaimed, " Some men are after me." He soon after fell asleep, and so remained till a little after six o'clock, when, suddenly rising up and taking off his coat, he put his arms round his mother's neck, say ing, "Dear mother, father, brothers, and sisters, save me 1" The mother, much alarmed, replied, " Tell me your troubles, my dear—l : ll save you ;" but, making no answer, he ran into the next room ' -and taking up a table k n if e , w i t h t h at in his hand rushed down stairs followed by his mother and father, who at that moment arrived. Going into the next house, the street door of which was open, he proceeded up stairs to the staircase window, out of which h e was a b ou t to get, but was prevented by his parents, from whom, having disengaged himself, he went to the top of the house, and got through the trap door on to the roof. In a minute after he seated himself on the parapet of a house a door or two off, with his legs on the street side, and on his mother, who was in the street screaming t o him to draw back, he go.t up and walked along the parapet of more than a dozen houses, when he disappeared. Onry a few moments elapsed, when he again appeared on the top of No. 5 house, whence he must have returned by passin g over the back part of the others. Having gone as far as No. 2, he at tempted to climb the chimneys, and suddenly fell a depth of 24 feet on to the roof of No. 1, a house only one storey high. He was extricated and conveyed to the hospital, where he died on Monday. A verdict was -returned " that deceased died from the effects of a fall from a house while in an unsound state of mind." FALKIRK TRYST.--Wednesday, Sept. 15.—The show to-day came fully up, to the numbers anticipated from the close of yesterday's Proceedings. About nine o'clock a good quantity of stuff was shown of various kinds. There were few buyers to-day, more particularly from the west country, in consequence of a fair at Balloch, in Dumbartonshire. There were more two-year-old West Highland stets than were expected on the ground to day, which brought equally good prices as yesterday, also the stills of this kind of stock. The north country cattle were somewhat short in point of num bers, but the really good heifers and stots were at no less a figure than yesterday. A few of the inferior kinds would be 5 per cent. below yesterday's prices as re ported. There were a few Irish cattle, which met with little encouragement to-day ; and the sales made amongst this kind would be about 21 per cent. below the price of yester day. The heavier cattle, although few in number, were readily picked up, and unless a few inferior beasts, suffered no reduction from yesterday. At th e c l ose of the market, those unsold were driven off for the southern jobbing markets. The old cows from the islands, and from Argyle shire, were large in number ; but they got very little en couragement, with one or two exceptions for the better class, which brought even a shade higher than yesterday ; but the second class was about 5 per cent. below yester day, and the inferior kinds were unsaleable. At the close of the market a number were left %mold. THAMES. A FEARFUL CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— Dennis Sweeney, a rough-looking Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with maliciously cutting and wounding Esther Cragin, with intent to murder or do grievous bodily harm. The woman, who is in a precarious state, could not attend the court. Bridget Shannon, a young woman, of No. 2, Providence place, Back Church-lane,, St. George's East, said there was a disturbance in the house last night, and the prisoner's daughter-in-law and the woman Cragin began fighting. There was a good deal of bad language used towards some soldiers' wives, and the words soldiers' trolls were used. Mrs. Cragen said, "Who is a soldier's troll, 'take it out of me," and began fighting with prisoner's wife. Witness interfered, and said, "for God's sake leave off," on which the prisoner used language of a most abominable description, and said, " take that, you -," and struck her on the head with a knife he had in his hand, and:exclaimed, " I have done for you." The woman fell bleeding profusely. Mr. John Comley said he was a surgeon, and was called upon to attend the wounded person last night. He found her bleeding from a wound on the right eye. It was a very extensive and dangerous wound, two inches and a half in length, and extended from the temple down the side of the eye, and under the eye, It was dons with a sharp in.stru. ment. There was also a tremendous contusion on the cheek and a black eye. The woman was not in a fit state to appear, and would not be able to leave her room until Tuesday or Wednesday. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said, " I can't help it," and then proceeded to deny having wounded Mrs. Cragin. He only looked at the women that were fighting. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner , until Wednesday next. THIS DAY S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A fair average supply of English wheat-3,050 quarters —has come to hand, this week, coastwise ; but the arrivals by land carriage fresh up, to-day, were very limited. Although the show of samples was moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and the value of in ferior qualities was barely supported. Fine old wheats were held at full prices. We were again well supplied with foreign, although the week's imports are only 4,350 qrs. There was not the slightest improvement in the trade, and the quotations were almost nominal. Floating cargoes were a slow inquiry. Scarcely any English barley was on show, but the supply of foreign was good. All kinds were in fair request at full quotations. . _ Malt changed hands slowly, yet prices were well sup , ported. We had a steady inquiry for oats, beans, and peas, at full quotations. The supply of. the former article was on the increase. Flour moved off slowly at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.

Rim—At public sale common qualities sold at about previous rates, but the superior descriptions met with very little support.

THE GREAT EASTERN —Mr. Daniel Baker, chair man, Captain Harrison, and Mr. Yates, secretary of the Great Eastern Steamship Company, visited Bristol yester day to inspect the site of the proposed docks at the mouth of the Avon, with a view to ascertain their capability of adaptation to the purposes of the Great Eastern. They were received by the Chamber of Commerce, a deputation from which body, consisting of Mr. W. Terrell, chairman, Mr. Leonard pruton, secretary, Mr. M. Whitwell, M r . J. M. Hyde, Mr. J. Bush, and other gentlemen, accompanied Mr. Baker and the other representatives of the Great Eastern Company on board the Fairy Queen steamer to Kingroad. The plans for the proposed docks were sub mitted by Mr. Thornton, civil engineers, who has been actively engaged in the matter, and who also fur nished various soundings which have been taken. Mr. Baker expressed his personal opinion, which was coincided in by Captain Harrison and Mr. Yates, that if the pro posed accommodation were afforded, Bristol would be the most desirable port for the departure of the Great Eastern. It had been found that Liverpool and Southampton would be unsuited for such a vessel, and the only port presenting anything like the necessary requisites was Milford Haven. If, however, the new docks were made at Bristol, Mr. Baker stated that it presented so many other advantages that he should unhesitatingly recommend the adoption 'of that port for the greet Zesteria, n 7 G 1 66 11 12 31 33 90 92 85 1 85 1 34 . 30 4 5 15z 1 70 . 1 611 62 45 47 30 32 90 92 63 64 27 27i 89 91 10 10i 102 103 80 84 127 129 102 103 504 M 54 56 86 89 11 12 p 11 12 p 951 1 Ofd 1d s lr iq 1101 1 1 It d 93 91 35/ 36 96 -97 C 8 70 62 64 ' 5 3 .6gid 11 1 d 46 47 •73k 74 [OO 10'2 5} d 8 9 Si 26 28 7 5d 113 115 27 28 82 83 43 45 3 2d 34 35 71 72 76i 74 13 14 7 5d 9 11 35 35 3 34 6: 50 1 1 1 90 11 94 as}}} It 56 54 92 1 i 461 7411 27} 8 82 71 341 1 100 i to 943 I l' 13ii ~~ 9 11 Business Done. 104 i 36 51 74 61 Business Done. all alf 1( 2 011 19 i 241 4 BANK RETURNS.

(From the Globe.) , The _Daily News announces the death of its principal editor, Mr. William Weir; an announce ment which will occasion genuine regret, and not alone within the walls of the office. A student at the universities of Scotland and of Germany, and at the Scottish bar, Mr. Weir had acquired a most accomplished familiarity with history, literature, and law, in the spirit of those studies as well as in the letter. Endowed with natural taste, which his friendship with congenial minds had developed and refined, he was widely read in the artistic as well as graver sides of modern literature. It may be said that he was master of the library of Europe. Of geography he had made a special study, and was at home in any part of the map of the world. His friends justly anticipated for him a brilliant career at the Scottish bar, and ultimately no doubt in Parliament, whose debates he would have en lightened and adorned • but a strong, i ncura bl e , an d increasing deafness drove him from the profession of law into journalism ; to which he brought attain ments such as few writers command, a generous heart and a flowing pen. Indeed one of the two faults, that beset him in his career—the barrier which his deafness opposed to easy conver sation being the second—was almost a redundant readiness with the pen, which at times induced him to do scanty justice to his own maturer thought. But wise at heart, almost universally informed, possessing a memory tenacious and ever at call, he could not hold his post without earning a high re pute. The grief of those who knew him at their sudden loss is lessened not increased, as we some times fancy—by the reflection that, if there was one thing of which William Weir was incapable, it was to do anything ungenerous, coldhearted, or ungraceful. (From the Times) Under this title the Daily .News publishes a well earned tribute to the memory of its late editor—a gentleman to whom :the public is greatly indebted for the able and honest conduct of that journal. We have often differed with it, but never without sincere respect for the ability and the gentlemanly spirit in which it was conducted--a spirit which has made it, the youngest of our contemporaries, a worthy representative of the En glish press. THE _RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INDIAN ARMY. We have at present two boards deliberating on the reconstruction of the Indian army, one sitting in London and the other in Bengal. The English board consists of the Marquis of Tweedda le, formerly Governor and Comthander-in-Chief of Madras ; of Lord Melville, better known as Col. Dundas, who commanded the 60th Rifles in Scinde, and after wards in the Punjab between 1848 and 1852 ; Sir Harry Smith, low , Adjutant-General of Queen's Troops in India, and afterwards so famous at Budi wal and Aliwal in 1846 ; Gen. Hancock, long our Adjutant-General, represents the Bombay army ; Gen. Montgomery that of Madras; and Gen. Burl ton and Col. Tait that of Bengal. The committee, we confess, does not seem a promising one. The Marquis of Tweeddalc was never in a position fully to realise the character of the sepoys. Lord Mel ville's violent prejudices against the Bengal army are on record, and one and all of them have the fatal objections of being wholly of the traditions of former years, and not• up to the time or the events to be dealt with by them. They are nearly all sure to set about restoring the system which h as b een shown to be obsolete and incapable of restoration. The Sepoy army, to all rational men, can only beregarded as a thing of the past ; even the Sepoys of Madras and Bombay must have new functions and a new place assigned to them, and the maintenance and defence of India must hereafter, be entrusted to European hands. What we esteemed a vase of porcelain, beautiful as it was strong, has turned out a miserable potsherd, which lies in fragments at our feet, after having cut and briiised the hands of those who cherished it. Its pieces can never be cemented. The attemp t to restore it without its fancied strength or appa rent, seemliness, gives it back to us with its only dangerous qualities left. Sir John Lawrence, Cal. Edwardes, and Col. Durand constitute the Tiidian Board. The names of these gentlemen are too well known to require us to speak of their qualifications. We should expect them all to be biassed against sepoy . soldiers of the line, and against anything like caste in the army at all. Whoever we intrust with arms in their hands, and in whatever capacity they appear, whether as irregulars or police, we trust their appearance as regulars is a 'thing so utterly out of the question as to be regarded as an impossi bility, they must be made aware that only one power can be recognised amongthem ; that the commands of competent authority are supreme, to which everything, caste prejudice .included, must give way. They are perfectly at liberty to enlist or decline enlisting on these terms ; having once en listed, they must_ abide by the bond. When the State sets aside a part of its citizens intrusted with weapons, and which they are authorised to employ against the people, care must be taken that in no case shall they be used for other ends than those for which they were issued. We should strongly impress upon officers at the same time, as they value the affection and respect of their men, cautiously to abstain from doing anything calculated to hurt their feelings or interfere with their prejudices. To ignore caste as a power is not necessary to assail it as a nuisance. The men should be made to understand that we no nothing and care nothing about their caste ; we do not recognise its e x i s t e n ce ; we neither assail it, nor do we submit for one.mo nient to its tyranny. Brave, temperate, an d obe dient men will be dealt with as such,--neither be in. terfered with nor be permitted to interfere.—Bonz bay Standard, Aug. 16. . -- We (Gla6fioa; Daily Mail) understand that the Right Hon.
