HONEY MARKET AD COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very strong, and as bankers and other capi talists have little money at their command full rates are required for the negotiation of the best paper. The official minimum is the lowest quota tion in the open market for"commercial bills of short duration. The East London Railway Company has taken formal possession of the Thames Tunnel. This line, when completed, by the junction of the narrow gauge lines on the north with those of the south side of the Thames, will afford to the east-end of Lon don the facilities already enjoyed westward of a shorter route for all kinds of traffic, and espe cially coal, over the Brighton, Chatham, and South-Eastern lines. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 32c. Heavy, little doing. The English Stock Market has been very de pressed, and a further decline in the Funds has taken place. American securities are now all the rage, and speculation in them has received a fresh stimulus by the late pacific speech of President Johnson to deputation from the Southern States. Consols are 891 f for money, and 89f for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89f ; Annuities (1885), 131 ; and India 5 per Cents, 10511. Foreign Stocks were generally at lower values in the morning, but subsequently, slightly recovered. Turkish Consolides are 491 1 ; Mexican, ex all, 251 ; the New Loan, '241 f t Greek, 20f 21 ; Spanish Passive, 30 1 ; the Certificates, 141 15 ; and the Confederate Loan, 7 8. The Brazilian Scrip is quoted 31 f prem. In the American market quotations are very buoyant, and an improvement is perceptible in all the principal descriptions. United States 5-20 Bonds, 7011; Erie Shares, 60k; and Illinois, 851 I. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a limited scale, but, with one or two ex ceptions, prices have exhibited more firmness. South Eastern, Great Eastern, Great Western and North Eastern (Berwick), have each improved ss. ; while North Western, Metropolitan, and Midland have each declined 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in fair request, and a decided improvement has taken place in the Canadian undertakings. Grand Trunk have advanced £2, and Great Western 155., while Madras 5 per Cents. have risen ss. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and exhibit no material alteration in values.

This morning a learned - counsel (Mr. Bicker-Caarteen) appealed to the Registrar to take a private sitting. This being declined, the counsel proceeded to urge that the Registrar ought to do the work, as ho was well paid for it. Upon this the Registrar desired the learned counsel not to make improper remarks. Mr. Caarteen requested the Registrar not to couple his name with any such observations, and added, " You have not treated me like a gentleman, Mr. Hazlitt, since I have been in this room, and you ought to know it." The Registrar—l do not want to hear your observations. Mr. Caarteen—l would say it here or in any other room in this building. The Registrar—There, that will do ; you are stopping all the business. The matter then dropped. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) VICIOUS HORSES AND THE PUBLIC.-GILL V. HAYWOOD This was an action to recover damages sustained by the plaintiff through the vicious conduct of a horse belonging to the defendant, a coal merchant of Rotherhithe. Plaintiff stated that he was going along the street upon a certain day, and he passed defendant's horse, which was in a cart. The horse snapped at plaintiff, tore his clothes, and inflicted certain injuries upon him for which he now claimed compensation. His Honour asked defendant what he had to say to this? Defendant could assure the Court that he did not know his horse had a predilection for biting people. Plaintiff—But I can assure your honour that when I called upOn defendant he offered me compensation. His Honour—Then you should have taken it. Plaintiff--It was not the amount I claimed. Surely if defendant's horse injures me I can recover damages. His Honour—The law says you cannot unless you can show that the animal was vicious within the knowledge of its owner. Thus, when a dog bites a person the injured party must show the court that the owner had, what is called in law scienta, before he can recover damages. That law must also be applied to other animals, and unless you can show me that the defendant knew his horse was ad dicted to biting you cannot recover. Plaintiff—That is very hard. His Honour—l cannot help it : you can get the Legis lature to alter the law, but lam bound by it. You must be nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY BY A PORTER.—William Crocrombe, a porter lately in the service of Messrs. Miray and Co., clock manu facturers, of New Erle-street, Cannon-street, was placed before Mr. Alderman Carter, charged with robbing his employers. Mr. Ernest Murray said the prisoner had been in his service for two years and nine months. He had been miss ing clocks for the last two years, and on taking stock six clocks were found to be missing. To prevent this stock was taken again a few days ago, and some property was again missing. He spoke to the clerks and others em ployed, and they each suggested that their homes should be searched. The prisoner was present, and he gave his address 8, Shaftesbury-place, Aldersgate-street, and there found 23 boxes of matches which had been missing since 1863. He was then given into custody, and while he was being conveyed to the station-house he said he had taken away the other goods and pawned them, in order to oblige a friend. The prisoner was then taken back to New Earle-street, and there he took 13 pawnbroker's duplicates from under the staircase, all of which related to the property of which he had been robbed. It consisted of carriage-clocks, time-pieces, and bronze statuettes. Henry Chase, assistant to Messrs. Smith and Dymond, Newgate-street, pawnbrokers, produced some of the articles pawned by the prisoner. One was a bronze figure for 7s. ; another was a time-piece, 4s. ; another bronze figure for 3s. ; and an ornament in the same metal for 12s. Alderman Carter (looking at the ornament pledged for 7s.) —You only lent 7s. on this? Why it is worth at least £2. If you did not know the value of the property, you ought to have done so. It is a very censurable proceeding the receiving in pledge so many articles of the same de scription from a person like the prisoner without making some inquiry as to how he came possessed of the property. Tha bronze articles were castings for the ornamentation of mantel clocks. Witness—The prisoner gave the name " John Davis." Alderman Carter—But the articles he was pledging were of a very valuable character. _ _ Hancock, the police constable who took the prisoner into custody, said he had since confessed to him that he had stolen some other clocks, the manufacturing price of one of which was £ll. This he had sold to a pawnbroker in the neighbourhood for 30s. Alderman Carter said he should remand the prisoner, and he afterwards directed that summonses might be issued against the pawnbrokers who had purchased anything of th e prisoner to appear at the Mansion-house and produce it that day week. Defendant denied this, and said he was well acquainted with the owner of the house Who had told him what to do. Mr. Dayman thought that he had muddled his faculties with drink until he did not know exactly what he did. He must pay 55. or be committed for four days. Destruction of an East Indianian by Fire This Dap• This morning the magnificent East Indiaman frigate, Accrington, was totally consumed by fire off the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall. The vessel had a valuable cargo on board, and was outbound for Calcutta. The vessel burnt with considerable fury, and the sight she presented as the black smoke curled upwards from her decks and the flames issued from her port-holes from stem to stern, was wit nessed by a great many persons who had been drawn together by the unfortunate occurrence. Great Fire at Bermondsey this Morning. -.tl-• , -- Between the hours of three and four o'clock in the morn ing the whole of the inhabitants of the densely populated and industrious parish of Bermondsey were thrown into a state of the greatest excitement, owing to a fire of a for midable character breaking out on the premises belonging to Messrs. Kingden and Powell, oil-cloth manufacturers, carrying on a large business in Queen-street, Bermondsey New-road. The buildings, which were destroyed by fire some time since, were constructed principally of wood, but they have since been rebuilt in a most substantial manner of brick and timber. In almost every compartment of these pre mises were stored oils, varnish, turpentine, and other in flammable stock in the process of drying, which to some extent will account for the extraordinary spread of the flames, for in the course of a few minutes the prin cipal portions of the factory; at least to 120 feet in length and 60 feet wide, became encircled in a huge sheet of flame. The vessels which contained the oil and turpentine ran along the floors like sheets of liquid fire, and at that time the watchmtoi had locked himself up in the premises, and was overtaken by the blazing spirits, which surrounded him, and burnt the whiskers on his face and the hair on his head off. For some time he was unable to find the key of the door so as to let himself out, and, according to his own statement, he made up his mind to be burnt to death; but suddenly, owing to the intense heat, he espied the key and was enabled to release himself. By that period, owing to opening the door, the flames were fanned into every portion of the factory, and they rose so high into the air as to be visible from all parts of the metropolis. This caused a general turn-out of the Royal Society's escape in the district, and the engines from al most every station in London. Conductors Breton and Swaine speedily arrived with two of the Society'smachines and three of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers, the manual power one from Southwark Bridge-road having been set to work, from an abundant supply of water, tor rents of the antagonistical element was thrown upon and into the blazing pile ; but in spite of that the fire continued its ravages, and mounted so high that even the Volunteer firemen were called out from Peckham and Croydon. The firemen, under the direction of their supe rior officers, kept to their posts, but owing to the great number of rolls of cloth the water could not penetrate them, and the flames could not be conquered until the whole of the premises were destroyed. The total loss is. very considerable, and the origin of the catastrophe is un known. Mr. Superintendent Braudford and Inspectors Wise and . Manson, with a strong body of police, rendered essential aid, for owing to the proximity of a row of small houses the inmates threw their furniture into the street and the services rendered by the police prevented the same from being stolen by the mob. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WILFUL DAMAGE AT A REFRESHMENT HOUSE :I-Robert Clark, of 75, High-street,Borough, painter, was charged with being drunk, and wilfully breaking a quantity of glass at the refreshment house of Mr. Christopher Dovanas, 50, Haymarket. Mr. Dovanas said that about 1 o'clock that morning the defendant and two companions came into his house, and made a great noise. He requested the defendant, who had been drinking, to leave, when he wanted to fight, and then turned over a table, on which there was a large glass full of cherry brandy and a number of glasses, all of which were broken, the damage amounting to about £2. The defendant asked whether he was not pushed against the table by some one, and the complainant said he was not, but that he took off his coat to fight. One of the complainant's waiters said the defendant was told to leave, but he refused, wanted to fight, and then went deliberately up to the table, on which there were several glasses, and upset it. John Cornell, 109 C, said the defendant was drunk when he took him into custody. The defendant said the damage was accidentally done. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him to pay the amount of the damage, £2, and a fine of Gd., or be imprisoned for a wonth. WHOLESALE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Sarah Costell, servant to Mr. Henry Watts, linen draper, of 408, Oxford street, was charged with stealing a quantity of hosiery, &c., the property of her employer. Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that about seven that morn ing he saw the prisoner leave her employer's house, 408, Oxford-street, by a side door in a passage, having with her a large parcel. He followed her to No. 93, Dean-street, a chandler's shop, kept by a Mr. Jacobs, where she went in and gave Mr. Jacob's the parcel, which he placed on a shelf behind the counter. The prisoner then left, and on his going into the shop and asking Mr. Jacobs what the prisoner had brought, ho said a parcel, and that the prisoner asked him to mind it till the evening for her. Mr. Jacobs gave him the parcel, and on going with him to No. 408, Oxford-street, and seeing the prisoner in the presence of Mr. Watts she denied having taken a parcel anywhere, declaring that she had not been out that morning at all. On Mr. Watts seeing the articles in the parcel and identifying them as hie property, the prisoner began crying, and asked Mr. Watts to forgive her. He (Dawson) then asked the prisoner for the keys. At first she said sho had not got any, but afterwards told him where there was one, which was found to open a door in the passage leading to the shop. On searching the prisoner he found 21 duplicates in her possession relating to similar articles to those sold by Mr. Watts, and in her bedroom he found a quantity of other articles identified by Mr. Watts. Mr. Watts said the prisoner entered his service in May, ho having a good character with her. The whole of the property produced was his property, and of the value of £6. Ho had missed a large quantity of property. In some instances the robbery showed great deliberation, as pieces had been cut from rolls, and he had no doubt in the middle of the night. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to give the police time to trace other property. IVESTMINSTER. A REMARKABLE GHOST STORY.—Thomas Pavey, a man about 45 years of age, was charged under the following extraordinary circumstances : Jason Howe, 188 B, said that about 10 o'clock last night the prisoner, who was intoxicated, created a great crowd in the Brompton-road. His conduct was such that witness took him into custody. Sergeant Morgan, of the B division, said there were some circumstances with which it was necessary the ma gistrate should be acquainted. A report had gone abroad of late that the houses 56 and 58, Brompton-road, were haunted, and for several nights past large crowds of per sons had assembled front dusk till late at night opposite the houses named. Mr. Day:nal—What was there to see ? Sergeant—The ghost. Witness continued that the road, in consequence of the assemblage, was completely blocked up and traffic sus pended. Mr. Dayman—What was the defendant doing in the Brompton-road last night ? Policeman—He had knocked very violently at 58. Mr. Dayman—Did he say anything ? Constable—Yes ; he said he heard the ghost was in the house, and he wanted to see it. _ • Sergeant Morgan said that the defendant had been there before, and after the police had with much trouble cleared the thoroughfare he again assembled a large crowd by knocking at the door. The doors were being continually knocked at by persons and the greatest confusion prevailed. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said the owner of tho house asked him if he would go and stop there, and he did so although he could not get in. The sergeant remarked that this was a yery differet story to what 14 had beforo told. WANDSWORTH. THE ALLEGED BURNING OF THE BODY OF A CHILD.— Fanny Knight, who was charged last week with conceal ing the birth of her illegitimate child, was brought up for re-examination. On this occasion the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ricketts. • It will be recollected that the body had not been found, and that the case rested upon the prisoner's own state ment. After she was taken into custody by police-con stable Sapphill she confessed to having given birth to a child about a fortnight before, but whether dead or alive she could not tell, and that she burnt the body. Harriet George, a married woman, lodging - in the house of the prisoner's father, was called, and she said that for some time past, up to last Saturday three weeks, she was satisfied, from the prisoner's appearance, that she was in the family way. Mrs. Brown, another lodger, also called her attention to the prisoner on the Saturday. In the evening she looked very ill. Witness saw her several times afterwards, and looking so bad that one evening she said to her, " Oh, Fanny, how bad and ill you look." She said, "Do you think so, I don't feel it." A young man named Frank was with her, and she turned away from witness. She afterwards saw a change in the prisoner's appearance, which led her to believe she had been con fined. Witness never spoke to her about it. tolice-constable Sapphill added that the prisoner told him that she did not know whether it was a child or not. She told the doctor she did not know the length or size of it. This being all the evidence, Mr. Ricketts admitted that there was no proof of the evidence of a child. Mr. Ingham said there was the prisoner's own statement that she had burnt the body. If the child was born alive she had been guilty of murder, and if not there was the concealment'of the birth. It was a case to be submitted to a jury. The prisoner was a g ain remanded for the attendance of the doctor and Mrs. 13rown. It was stated that the young man Prank had absconded. THAMES. MAD Dlttimc.—John Toomey, an Irish bricklayer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and disorderly. Sharp, a police constable, No. 306 K, stated that last night the prisoner was making a disturbance in a public house in Old Gravel-lane, St. George's-in-the-East, and he overturned everything and put a woman in the fire-place, where he left her. On reaching the street he made a good deal of noise, and pelted every female that passed with bricks and stones. Several persons were injured. The prisoner was removed three times to Green-bank, Wap ping, where he lived, and as often returned, repeating his offensive conduct on each occasion, and alarming every one by his violence, bad language, threats and gesticulations. He then attempted to get over the swivel bridge into the London Dock. He was seized by the neck and shoulders, and was suspended over the water, with his feet nearly touching it for some minutes, until a barge was navigated to the spot, and ho was lowered into it. The prisoner struggled and plunged violently, and it required the united exertions of eight p o li ce - constables to convey him to the station-house. Mr. Paget—He was mad drunk ? Witness—He was, sir. He acted in a similar manner a month ago. The prisoner said this was the first time he had been in custody, and it would be the last. Mr. Paget—lt is not the first time you have acted in this extraordinary manner. You Were mad drunk last night, Ycu ara sentenced to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour. MATRIMONIAL DISCORD.—Joseph George, general dealer, of Bird-in-hand Passage, Bow, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with beating his wife, Mary Ann George, and Mary Ann his daughter. The parties are old and appear to have indulged in drinking too freely. They have presented themselves before the magistrates of this court several times. On the 14th of May last Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, and held to bail in his own recognisance to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for six months. This surety was violated directly he came out of prison. He has ill-used his wife since, and last night they were both "half drunk," and he beat her and his daughter with a wooden shutter, which he broke over them. He also threatened his daughter, and said he would cut her - eyes out. The wife said she earned £3 per week at her husband's business while ho was in prison, and was anxious for him to go to gaol again. • _ The prisoner said he was willing to allow his wife 10s. per week. Mr. Paget lectured the intemperate couple, who loved gin better than respectability. He had no doubt whatever that the wife provoked the husband, but he had no right to beat her. The prisoner must find bail to keep the peace for six months. Sureties were tendered and approved. SOUTHWARK. ASSAULTING WomEx.—Georgo Forest, a ruffianly-looking young fellow, was charged before Mr. Woolrych with as saulting three women. Ellen Flanagan said that, about half-past ten last night, she saw the prisoner ill-using a woman in Southwark street, and on her remonstrating with him, he struck her a violent blew on the face, and gave her a black eye. The prisoner said that he was first assaulted by the wit ness, who pulled off his cap. Mary Ann Dunn said that she witnessed the prisoner striking a woman, and although she did not interfere, ho struck her in the face. Margaret Flanagan, dieter of the first witness, said that she also was assaulted by the prisoner without gtving him the slightest provocation. Tho magistrate said the prisoner was a very ruffianly fellow, and sentenced him to two months' hard labour. THE RIVAL BROTHERS ; OR, Two OF A TRADE.—Edward Beeman was charged under the following circumstances: Joseph Beeman, his brother, said that the prisoner was in the habit of threatening his life and otherwise annoy ing him, and yesterday forced open the door of his house in Southwark-bridge-road, and broke a window. He and the prisoner were in the same trade, as artificial flower and fruit makers, and he attributed the conduct of the latter to their being rivals. The prisoner was drunk when he broke open the door yesterday. The prisoner said that yesterday, about 2 o'clock, his brother's wife abused him in the Blackfriars'-road, and put her ingers to her nose. His brother copied his designs, and then sold them to his (prisoner's) customers at half price. Magistrate—Why should he not sell them at any price he wished ? Have you a patent ? The prisoner said he was too poor to take one out. Magistrate--You both copy from nature, and, if you copy correctly, very likely your works resemble each other. The prosecutor denied the statement of the prisoner as to the alleged piracy, and said he was a hard-working man with five children. The prisoner was bound over to keep the peace for six months.

Lang ham, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, in the Board room of the Strand Union, Bow-street, on the body of Mr. Richard Sayer, pawnbroker, of 29, Brydges-street, Covent-garden, who sustained fatal injuries by slipping down stairs on Saturday last. It appeared that deceased had been in ill health for about three years, and latterly had become so debilitated that he was confined to his apartments up stairs. He, however, went from ono room to another, and was enabled to keep his books. On Saturday last he slipped on goinng down stairs and broke his right thigh and left leg. Medical assistance was called in and deceased removed to bed, where death ensued a few hours after the occurrence. Mr. Dunne, of Norfolk-street, who had been deceased's medical attendant for many years, said he had suffered from internal swelling of the glands of the whole body, togetaer with misenteric disease and dropsy. Although hs had a good appetite, the nourishment he took did not supply the system. The cause of death was exhaustion from shock to the system, owing to the feeble condition of the body and fractured limbs. The jury re turned a verdict of "Accidental Death." THE TEMPLE CHURCH.--A notice has been placed on the walls of the Temple Church announcing its reopen ing after the long vacation, on Sunday next, October 1. DEATH OF ARCHDEACON BARTHOLOMEW.—The _ V en. Archdeacon Bartholomew died at Morchard, near Exeter, on Sunday, and the cathedral bell tolled for him on Monday. The archdeacon was much beloved in the neighbourhood where he lived, and also in the city of Exeter. He was very charitable, and his hand was always ready and his heart always open to releive distress. The deceased took his degree of B.A. at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1813, and became M.A. in 1820. He was or dained in 1817 by Dr. Pelham, then Bishop of Exeter; and preferred to the rectory of Morchard Bishop in 1831, Mr. J. Tudfield being the patron. He was appointed canon resi dentiary of Exeter Cathedral in 1840, Archdeacon of Barnstaple in 1847, and was previously incumbent of Withycombe Raleigh in 1817, Sowton in 1819, and Lymp stone in 1820, and prebendary of Exeter Cathedral in 1831. The ven. archdeacon was author of sundry charges as Archdeacon of Barnstaple, and had published several ser mons, one of them being that preached at the consecration of the present Bishop of Exeter in 1831. A STEAMSHIP IN THE RIVER ON FIRE.--An alarming fire was yesterday morning discovered to have broken out on board the fine steamship London, belonging to the London and Perth Steam-Shipping Com pany, commanded by Captain Rattray, lying off the com pany's wharf, Wapping. The London, which is an iron screw built vessel, about 600 tons burden, and has four compartments, arrived from Dundee on Monday evening. During the voyage nothing occurred to excite the least suspicion of the cargo being on fire, and on Monday night all hands turned in for rest, the watchman on the wharf having orders to call them at four o'clock yesterday morning. This he did, and no sooner had the men come on deck before they were startled by the fore-hatch covering blowing off as if from an explosion in the hold, and instantly smoke and flames burst forth with great force.. The ship's fire bell was at once rung, to give the alarm to the shipping in the Pool for assistance. The Thames police galley bore down immediately to the floating steam fire-engines belonging to the brigade, on the river, off Rotherhithe, and at South wark-bridge, both of which got under weigh to the fire with all possible despatch. The crew of the London in the meantime got their pumps to work and played down into the hold among the cargo. The smoke, however, was dense in the extreme, almost suffocating the men as they stood at the hatchways ; one or two attempts were made to get below in order to obtain a better command of the fire, but this was found to be so dangerous that the men were stopped. Upon the arrival of the floating engines, both having steam up, they were got to work, several jag of water being directed into all parts of the hold. Captain Shaw, the chief of the fire brigade, accom panied the upper floating fire steamer to the burning vessel, and superintended the operations. For hours the engines continued pouring torrents of water into the hold, without producing any apparent impression on the fire, for the smoke rolled up in heavy clouds, and the heat was intense. It now became evident that the only course left to get the fire under was to keep the engines playing until the forehold was filled with water, which WAS carried out, and, as was to be expected, as the water rose the extent of the fire diminished, and by 8 o'clock it was entirely extinguished, the water having reached to the combings of the hatchways. The origin of the fire is attributed to spontaneous combustion among a quantity of cotton waste and canvas which was stowed among the cargo. Until the water is pumped out of the forehold it is impossible to state the amount of damage done. The steamer is represented to be fully insured. PROPOSED GREAT BRIDGE ACROSS THE HUMBER. —The proposition to bring an independent railway into Hull and the east riding of Yorkshire has at length taken definite shape, and a new project for crossing the Humber will be introduced into Parliament as the Hull, Lancashire, and Midland Counties Railway. The effect of this scheme, if carried, would be to bring the Great East ern, the Great Northern, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and the Midland Companies into Hull, entirely independent of the lines of the North-Eastern Railway Company. Tho project is in five sections. Tho first and chief proposed to run near the existing line of the North- Eastern from HUH to Hessle on the Yorkshire side of the Humber. From the high chalk here to the Lincolnshire chalk on the opposite shore it is proposed to build a bridge of sufficient height to allow the free n avigation of the river by small craft which only p ly above Hull. This bridge would be probably 11 mile l on g , and, it is said, a t the site chosen would have a solid chalk rock foundation throughout. From Barton the line would proceed to a junction with the Keadby extension (now forming) a t Frodingham. This section is about 14i miles. The se cond section leaves the first at Howksnow and runs to the Market Rasen branch of the Sheffield and Lincoln Com pany near Howsham. Section three runs to the Brigg sta tion of the Sheffield Company's main line. Section four unites the Sheffield and Great Northern and Great Eastern joint loop line between Snelland and Southroy, cutting off the Lincoln angle and giving a direct line via Cambridge, Spalding, and March, or via Peterborough to London. No. sis a short curve connecting the Lincoln and Althorpe on-Trent lines. To London the new line would save 41 miles compared with the North-Eastern route, and 25 corn compared with the Retford route. The distance to Man chester, Sheffield, &c., would be okkortened by 28 miles. 49 81 1335 65 1 i 031, 12:f 1051 39i 52 1 1241 4 1 1391 43 391 Of 5f 1261 51 651 1 1111.1 MI 642 59 8t I 101; I 2 1011 5 4i ,ITIES. 109,191 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER. MEETING With ground more resembling a turnpike road which the dry east wind every hour renders harder, small fields consequent on the aforesaid hardness, and but a moderate attendance of the usual lbabitues of the place, the first of the autumn gatherings commences very quietly. There is only the Great Eastern Handicap and the Hopeful Stakes on the first day standing out from half-a dozen sweepstakes to make the card interesting. The Grand Duko Michael Stakes, formerly a race of some importance, brought out only three starters, and Zambesi, who looked full of running at the Bushes, de clined as he came up the bill, and Lougdown won cle verly ;by a neck. The absence of Mr. Naylor's highly backed Derby colt, Monarch of the Glen, robbed the Buck enham of all its interest, and it was au easy win for one of the last of Musjid's progeny. Sixteen WOW telegaaphed for the big Handicap, and the race was remarkable for the leading favourites finishing there or thereabouts, as the saying is, and Confederate winning cleverly by a head, which he might have made a length without much diffi culty. Gemma, the winner last year, ran a very good third. Of course Mr. Pitt carried off the Hopeful without difficulty. From the course being thickly covered with herbage the ground was very holding, and we never re member horses to tire so much at the finish as all did to day. The Trial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added ; for 2- yr-olds and upwards, weight for age. The winner to be sold for 500 sovs ; if for 100 soya, allowed 71b ; if not for sale, to carry 101 b extra. A.F. Six subs. Mr. W. E.

Vixen, with a slight lead on the far side, made play, fol lowed on the lower ground by Black Prince, and in the centre of the pair came Lizard, Languard Fort, and Lytham. They ran thusinto the Abingdon Mile bottom, where Black Prince was disposed of, and Vixen giving way as they en tered the cords, the issue was left with Lizard and Lytham, the former winning in a canter by four lengths ; a bad third. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes of 50 sous each, for 2-yr olds ; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 61b ; the winner of the 2,000 guineas, Derby, or St. Leger to Garry 71b extra; maiden horses allowed 51b; the second to save his stake.

Tho non-favourite, on the lower ground, came on with a slight lead of Zambezi and Longdown, the latter lying wide on the right. They ran thus to the bottom, where Contract was beaten, leaving Zambezi in advance, but as they entered the cords Longdown came out and won very easily by a neck ; a bad third.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Indigestion and Lady di Vergy, 4 to 1 agst Wild Thyme, and 5 to 1 agst Volunteer. Lady di Vergy, in company with Wild Thyme and Indi gestion, got away slightly in advance of Guinevere and Volunteer, the latter, who jumped round immediately the flag was lowered, being left a long way in the rear. On en tering the cords Lady di Vergy hung so much that Loates had great difficulty in keeping her clear of her horses, and won, with nothing to spare, by a neck ; a bad third. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds, Est 101 b; 3-yr olds, Bst 101 b ; 4-yr-olds and upwards, 9st 31b. The winner to be sold for 50 sovs, &c. T.Y.C. 3 subs.

The Musjid filly on the right obtained a slight advantage at the start, Heliotrope going on second, with Wildhriar at her girth. They retained their positions to half-way in the cords, when Goater called upon his filly, who immediately drew away and won cleverly by half a length. There was a length and a half half between second and third. The Great Eastern Railway Handicap, a Sweepstakes of 15 sous each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and up wards ; winners extra; the owner of the second horse to receive 25 says out of the stakes.

After some 20 minutes lost at the post, Mr. M‘George was enabled to lower his flag to an excellent start, the horses running nearly in a line spread across.the course. They ran 'thus, without any perceptible advantage, for 100 yards, when Cadeau drew slightly in advance, and with Confe derate, Regina, Wild Agnes, and Master Richard on the right, made the running at a slow pace, followed wide on the lower ground by Princess of Wales, Liddington, Liston, Mathilde, and Gemma into the cords, when Confederate headed Cadeau, the pair being followed as they came on by Lord Stamford's mare, Liston, Wild Agnes, and Audax. Half-way up Gemma, while on their left, joined Cadeau, then from this point running a close and punishing race home, Confederate, who appeared compounding at every stride, just winning at last by a head, Cadeau defeating Gemma by a neck for second, the latter finishing two lengths in advance of Liston, who was fourth. Wild Agnes was fifth, Filbert sixth, and Audax next. Then came in a body Mathilde, Liddington, Princess of Wales, Regina, and Master Richard.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 11 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per LI sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £1 17s. ioid. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appe.,:a that gold is nearly 1-it•th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advicz s from Hamburg the price of gold Is 428 per mars and the short exchange on London is 13.62 per ..£1 sterlinv. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather n - .ore than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London th.►n in Ham burg.

PLOUGHING MATCHES.—Another of the All-Eng. land matches took place yesterday at Abizigdon, which created unusual interest, the competitors being Howard's veteran ploughman Brown, Ransome's young ploughman Dale, and two local men. Dale went away in splendid style, and after a most exciting contest was declared the winner. On the same day at Wellingborough the cham pion prize was awarded to Howard's man, Purser. Yester day the annual ploughing for championship and money prizes offered to Surrey ploughmen was also contested on Mr. M. Walker's farm near Croydon. The affair created much interest, and the members of the Surrey Agricultural Asso ciation sent their best skilled ploughmen to display their prowess in this branch of field labour. The competitors muster strong, holding ploughs of ancient and modern make ; each team had half an acre of land to turn over, and " the sons of the clod," many of whom were very young men, contended hard for the victory, turning and laying up the land in ridge and well rounded furrows of a uniform size, and in a style not to be excelled in other counties. The prizes consisted of small sums, varying from 10s. to £3, and a championship. At the conclusion of the day's work the judges made their awards and the successful candidates left the land in the triumph of fame and its accompaniments, and the beaten men in a good-natured spirit of emulation, and sanguine of success at the next autumn meeting.

SUSPECTED MURDER AT SOUTROWRAM 7 NEAR HALIFAX.—A man named James Chadman, a delver, was apprehended at Southowram on Saturday, and brought before the Halifax West Riding magistrates, charged with causing the death of a woman named Mercy Hopkinson at the same place. The prisoner and deceased have been cohabiting together at Southowram. Deceased was unmarried, and worked a little as a milliner. The prisoner has a wife and family living at Ashton, or some Lancashire town. The prisoner and the deceased have lived at Southowran about six months ; neither of them, however, are natives of that place. The woman, it appears, has been addicted to intemperate habits. Last Friday night the prisoner fetched her home from the Pack Horse Inn, Southowram, in a state of in toxication. On the way home he stated to a young man who was helping him to get her home that he would kill her yet. Noises were heard in the house at night as though the parties were fighting, and at five o'clock on Saturday mornin g the prisoner called a neighbour named Fawcett into the house, and said Hopkinson was dying. Deceased appeared to be breathing her last. The prisoner stated that deceased had been suffering from cramp at the stomach. Marks of violence wore found upon her body; discoloration about the neck and breasts ; cuts on the forehead and lips ; f b o u r t m s a o t i i n o e n o N f y t a h s e latter t o a r t e h s e u p p o p l oed i cse, the o be old pr is on er bruises. was I a p prn e - liended, and brought before the bench.

The Patrie has the subjoined :—" The treaty re lative to the constitution of the Mexican Bank has been signed at Biarritz between the delegates of the commission of Mexican finances at Paris and M. Pinard, President of the Comptoir d'Escompte. We think it necessary, however, to add that the Emperor, animated by a feeling of legitimate defer ence, has expressen a desire that the treaty should be submitted to the ratification of the Emperor Maximilian. As to the conversion of the Mexican 6 per cent. loan, the operation may be considered as near at hand. Five hundred men of the Foreign Legion left Aix on Friday by the railway, and embarked on the same day at Toulon for Mexico, on board the Amazone,.
