In the Money Market there is rather more acti vity, the rates are rather firmer. This is owing Payments on account of Indian engagements. Th e lowest rate among bankers and brokers, how ever, is still per cent. below the official minimum. ~.T h e Sum. of £lO,OOO was taken to the bullion de v4rtraent of the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon.

Shockin3 Accident in North Wales. CARNARVON, Saturday. A very serious railway accident occurred in this district on Thursday evening, resulting in the death of five persons. The circumstances may be nar rated as follows : To connect the Welsh coast line, now in course of formation with the main line of the London and North-Western Railway at Bangor, a single line has just been completed from Carnarvon to Port madoc and Rafon-Wen, a distance from Carnarvon to the last-named place of 18k miles, and called the Carnarvonshire Railway. The line has been con structed by Mr. Thomas Savin, contractor, and it only awaits the inspection of the Government officer preparatory to its being opened for regular traffic. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last the Calvinistic Methodist Association held its quar terly meeting in this town, and the proceedings of Thursday, which were conducted in a meadow, were a source of great attention to a very large number of the inhabitants of the whole of this part of the Principality. To accommodate those in the north of the country special trains were run to this town, and the people in the south were importunate in their application to Mr. Savin to charter a train of open trucks to run from Portmadoc. Unhap pily, Mr. Savin yielded to their solicitations, and after a tradesman of Carnarvon, who desired to farm the train, and declined, after some negotiation, to accept Mr. Savin's terms, Mr. Savin determined to run the train himself. The train was made up of eight open ballast waggons, having planks across them for seats, and about 700 persons are under stood to have travelled by it, paying 3s. for a re turn ticket between Portmadoc and Carnarvon. A valuable and powerful locomotive, well known as the Castelldaudraeth, named after the seat of Mr. David Williams, the chairman of the Welsh Coast Railway, was placed to draw the train ; and for additional security Mr. John Savin, the contrac tor's brother, drove the engine on:the return of the excursionists from Carnarvon. The journey from Portmadoc in the morning was accomplished in safety. On its return trip the train left the Pant Station in this town at seven in the evening, and no hitch occurred until they had got within 100 yards of the Glanddwfach Station, which is a little over Carnarvon. At a point within 200 yards of that station the engine took water at 10 minutes to eight, and resumed its journey at —itis alleged—a cautious speed, because some points 'Were to be passed over midway between the water tank and the station. The points were self-acting, and were necessary, because here a strip of loop line had been laid out down for station uses. When the engine came to the points it passed on the main line, as was desired ; but the tender ran with its wheels on one side only on the main line, and soon swerved round with its front upon the main line and' the back upon the loop, thus presenting a broadside towards the trucks. In thus swerving round the tender threw the engine off the main line of rails, and liberated itself from the engine and also the trucks. The engine dashed into a low embankment on the right of the line, and three trucks, filled with passengers, came crushing upon the expcsed side of the tender. All three trucks had broken loose, but the other 15 remained coupled.; So soon as the noise of the concussion was over, the screams of terror by the comparatively unin jured were silenced by a voice of authority calling upon them to escape, for the boiler, which was then hissing in the embankment, would blow up. Ter ror seized every surviving passenger, and in the shortest possible time all who were able away from the place of danger in all conceivable haste, till only four servants of the line were left at the wreck. Quickly, however, the threatened danger from the engine ',boiler was removed, and the farmers and their servants, with the villagers, came to the spot. Horses were unharnessed from their work in the corn fields, and men rode upon them hither and thither to procure surgeons to dress the wounds of the injured, and suitable vehicles to carry the sufferers to the nearest inn or to their homes. The nearest inn was the Glen Inn, half a mile away. To that place the chief sur viving sufferers were taken, and the dead were carried to a shed at the station. Here three women and two men were laid out variously mutilated, some of them so shockingly that identification was a matter of difficulty even by their relations. The dead were proved to be Mary Jones, of Pen rhyndendraeth, middle-aged ; Janet Philips, of the same place, aged about 60 ; Catherine Parry, of the Penrhyn Arms, also of the same place, aged about 30 ; Humphrey Griffith, recently of Carnar von, but now of the place above named, aged 23 ; and Mr. Williams, builder, of Ffestinog. Three of the deceased were buried under one truck. The position of Miss Parry was such as led to the dis play of much ingenuity to liberate her corpse with out further mutilation. Messrs. Savin are behaving most kindly towards the sufferers and the survivors of the dead. The funerals they have desired may be conducted at their cost, and according to the wishes of the mourners ; and the best available surgical aid is being afforded to the wounded. Mr. Hughes, of Pwllheli, the coroner for the Southern Division of Carnarvonshire, opened the inquest at the place of the accident, and, after the bodies had been identified, adjourned the inquiry till Tuesday. MISS BRADDON'S LITERARY ACTIVITY—tO Eay nothing of her genius and of her consequent popu larity—must be silo wed on all hands to be something extraordinary. Besides " The Trail of the Serpent" (her first work of fiction) recently republished and already re viewed by ourselves, there are two other earlier novels from the same hand, the republication of which in a similar manner may be shortly anticipated—one of them entitled "Lady Lisle," the other "The Captain of the Vulture." Already, therefore, the mere titles of her works make a goodly catalogue. Numbering them up even now we have Lady Audley's Secret, Aurora Floyd, Henry Dunbar, Only a Clod, The Doctor's Wife, The Lady's Milo, Sir Jasper's Tenant, John Marchmont's Legacy, and the Trail of the Serpent, together with the forthcoming reprint of Lady Lisle and the Captain of the Vulture—eleven distinct romances in all, being equivalent to three-and-thirty volumes octavo, works obviously produced with wonderful rapidity, seeing that it was only the other day, so to speak, that Miss Braddon began her career as a novelist. Another story moreover from the same hand - the twelfth in this swift series—a tale bearing the suggestive title of "Birds of Prey" will, as our readers were apprized by-the-way on Saturday—inaugurate next month the •opening number of Miss Braddou's newly-announced shilling, illustrated, monthly, h a magazine , rles Dickens's T he B Mr. elg aria arrangements with Mr. Arthur Chappell, it is understood, are now definitively completed. A series of readings will be given, which will include at least six at St. James's Hall, where the first (probably "The Christmas Carol ") will be given on "Boxing Night.." THE ALEXANDER PARK SCHEME REDIVIVUS.— Two thousand men, we are surprised to hear, are now employed on the building and grounds of the Alexandra Park and Palace, the project, after all, not having been abandoned. The park will be laid out, it is understood, by Mr. McKenzie. The author of " George Geith," Mrs. Charlotte Riddell, we regret to learn, has been, through severe ill ness, forbidden all literary labour, but already, thanks to a careful observance of this prohibition, is said to be slowly recovering. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' CRICKET MATCH AND GALA.—This affair was looked forward to with much interest, especially by the friends of the two charities—the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum and the School-- and it was for the purpose of aiding the funds of the latter that the gathering took place on on Friday on tha Surrey Ground, Kennington-oval. The weather proved fair, t slight shower only octurriug. MARKETS.--This Day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. MODERATION AND FORBEARANCE OF THE POLICE. —James Padden, a solicitor's clerk, was brought bef ore Mr Vaughan, charged with assaulting police-constables, Clement; 68 A, and Bagley, 519 A. Clement stated that on Saturday night he and Bagley were retiring from the Princess's Theatre, where they had been on duty, when, as they passed through Whitehall the prisoner came upon them from behind, and rushed between them, shoving witness against the wall, and Bagley upon the kerb. They told Lim not to do that but to go on quietly, or they should have to take him in . custody. He passed on to the corner of King-street, on arriving at which point they found him waiting for them, and they again remonstrated with pint, requesting him to let them alone and go away. He then followed them to the door of the station-house, when he struck witness in the face, knock ing off his hat, and inflicting a slight wound over the eye. Bagley came to his assistance, and was also struck by the prisoner. Mr. Vaughan- Had you said nothing to him before ho pushed against you the first time ? Witness—Nothing. We did not see him coming. We had never seen him before. The Prisoner—They said if they got me in the dark they would give it me. • They struck me in the face. Mr. Vaughan—Which of them ? The Prisoner—Ono of them ; I don't know which. Mr. Vaughan—ls there any truth in that ? Witness—Nothing in the world. We gave him all the kindness in the world. We gave him all the kindness in the world, and tried to persuade him to go away. Bagley corroborated the statement of his brother con stable. The prisoner was the worse for liquor, but not very drunk. The prisoner said the officers pushed against him first, and one of them struck him and cut his lip. Mr. Vaughan said it was quito clear that this was not true. On the contrary, the police appeared to have acted with great toleration and forbearance. lie must pay ss. for each assault, making Ws., or be imprisoned for seven days. MARK LAN}:. The country markets held on Saturday ruled firm for wheat, and prices advanced 2s. to 4s. per quarter. Barley was steady, and prices ruled firm. Oats were in fair de mand at full currencies. Beans and peas met a slow sale but without material change in price. There was a fair demand at late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, at advancing prices. For spring corn the trade is stoady. At New York the business doing in produce for export to England is small. But moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The import from abroad consisted of 8,032 quarters of wheat, 1,987 barley, 58,781 oats, 1,400 rye, 3,965 beans, 2,670 peas, 7,720 linseed, 160 rape and oilseeds, 3,619 maize, 389 sundry seeds, and 325 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the Arrivals of home- grown wheat was very moderate ; but the condition of the produce was, on the whole, good. 0 wing to the prevailing wet weather, the trade was very firm, and higher prices were demanded. The supply brought forward was some what readily disposed of titan advance in prices from Mon day last of 38 to 4s per quarter. There was a moderate supply of foreign whdat on the stands. The trade was very firm, and en advance of 2s per quarter took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and wheat realised Is. to 2s. per quarter more money. The supply of barley on rale was very moderate. The trade was firm, at an advance in prices of is per quarter. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. The demand was somewhat heavy at drooping prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were again very moderate, and in but middling condition. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81b. The receipts of stock from Ireland and Scotland were limited. _ _ From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, andNorthamptonshire we received 1,300 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of Eng land 800 various breeds, from Scotland 21 Scots, and from Ireland 120 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. With some few exceptions they came to hand otherwise than in good condition. The demand was heavy, and the currencies gave way 2d per 81b. The best Downs and half-breds sold at 68 41b per 81b. Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at full prices, viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b. Store pigs moved off freely at fully late quotations.

There has been a good attendance of home buyers at the public sales of colonial wool. The amount of wool taken by English manufacturers has been extensive, but the transactions have been chiefly confined to fine produce ; inferior qualities having been somewhat neglected. For export to Franco a fair quantity has been taken, whilst German houses have shown more disposition to operate.

MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY AT A GENTLEMAN'S HQUSE. —John ilarcoit was charged before Mr. Alderman Dakin with stealing a silver biscuit box, some glass bottles, three spoons, and some minor articles, the property of,Mr. Marshman, a gentleman of fortune, residing at The Elms, Bichley, near Bromley. John Davis, one of the City detective force, said that about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon he was going up Bishopsgate-street Within, and saw the prisoner with a brown paper parcel, partly covered with a towel. His suspicion was aroused, and ho followed the prisoner, who turned up Threadneedle-street, and stopped under a doorway. He saw him endeavouring to conceal the parcel with the towel. He told him that he was a policeman, and asked him what the parcel contained, and he said " Oh nothing." He examined the parcel, which contained the articles produced, which ho said he had from home, and was taking back again. He refused to give his address, and prisoner took him into custody. The towel had the name of "Marshman " oii it. Mr. Marshman identified the articles as his property, and said they were safe on Thursday evening, but were missed on Friday morning. _ _ The prisoner declined examining the witnesses, and was romauded until Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TURF COMMISSION AGENT CHARGED WITH A BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Metcalfe, a turf commission agent, resid ing at No. 12, Great Pulteney-street, was charged before Mr• Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting John M'Henry, a saddle tree maker, of No. 8, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, Great Marl borough-street, appeared for the complainant, and said the prisoner was charged with a violent, unprovoked, and brutal assault on the complainant, whose nose was broken and both his eyes badly blackened. He considered it a case in which no fine ought to be imposed, but a term of imprisonment. The complainant, whose face was much disfigured, said that on Saturday night he was, with several others, including the prisoner, in the billiard room of the New castle-on-Tyne public-house, Old Broad-street, Golden square, when an altercation took place between the prisoner and two others. On getting into the street the prisoner and one of the persons, a Mr. Shepherd, fought, Mr. Shep herd having thrown his coat to him to hold. After fight ing with Mr. Shepherd, the prisoner came up to him (complainant) and said, " Now, M'Henry, for you," and struck him a tremendous blow with his fist on the nose, having a large ring on ono of his fingers. On getting up, the prisoner struck him a violent blow in the mouth, loosening some of his teeth, and then blackened his eyes. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said his nose was broken, and, he was afraid, in three places. The complainant said, in reply to the prisoner, that ho had not given him the slightest provocation. lie called the prisoner a returned convict at the station-house, but not in the street. Mr. James Snoxall, blind maker, of Brad street, said that, while standing at his door on Saturday night, he saw the complainant knocked down like a bullock by the prisoner, and on his getting up ho was knocked down a second time. Ho saw no provocation given. 7'he prisoner said that while fighting with Shepherd the complainant said, " Give it to him," and afterwards called him "a returned convict," and he then struck the com plainant. Richard Vent, 191 C, prived taking the prisoner into custody, and in answer to the prisoner said the complainant called the prisoner " a returned convict," both in the street and at tho station. Mr. Tyrwhitt supposed the complainant's face was bleed ing at the time ho called the prisoner "a returned con• vict." The constable said it was. Mr. Tyr whitt said assaults of the kind were increasing daily, and had been too leniently dealt with. He should commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour, and would always in future enforce the law in cases of unpro voked assault. It was no uss imposing a fine upon a man like the prisoner, who had plenty of money, as it was no punishment. THAMES. AN OLD AND A YOUNG SINNER.—Joseph Howard, au old man, and Henry Skinner, a youth, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the mission -house, 32, High-street, Wapping, and stealing therefrom silver plate and other property belonging to a lady named Emily Head. The burglary was committed and the property stolen in July last. The prisoner Skinner's mother then lived in the mission-house. The .property had been left by the owner in the care of Mrs. Alexma Fisher, a widow, living in the mission-house. Skinner waited on Shead, police-constable 664 A, on Aug. 24 last, and made a full confession of his guilt; and said that he and Howard committed the burglary and robbery while the inmates were asleep, and that they were three lours in the house before they effected their object. The prisoner also gave such information to Shead as to load to the recovery of a great portion of the property, which was produced by several pawnbrokers, some of whom identified Skinner as the per son who pawned the articles. Police-constable, William Dunaway, a well-known and intelligent detective, No. 11 H, said ho went to a house in I.Cug-street, Cambridge Heath-road last night and saw the cap and coat which Howard now had on iu the room on a chair. He afterwards traced the footsteps of Howar over a flower-bed and then to a shed. He followed up the track and found the prisoner in an adjoining street. Ile said to him—" You made a present to your daughter of a silver thimble, at Colney Heath," and the prisoner replied "No, I did not ; I never made her any present." Dunaway said, "I have been down to Colney Heath, and have seen the thimble." Howard then said, " Yes ; I gave it her at the Red Lion." The thimble was a portion of the stolen property. Howard—Skinner gave me the the thimble, and I made my daughter a present of it. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner till Wednesday. Liverpool Cotton Market.—This Day. The market opens with a moderate demand, a irregular prices. Sales probably 10,000 bales. ETON COLLEGE.—The vacation, which commenced on the 3d of August, will terminate on the 2Gth inst., when the scholars will begin returning to the college. The holi days this season are longer than usual, an extra week having been given in honour of the marriage of Princess Mary and Prince Teck. _ _ _ It is not improbable that Mr. Thomas Brassey will take up Mr. Furness's contract for the north s!do of the Thames embankment, guaranteeing to the creditors a liberal per-tentage on their proved debts. Mr. Furness has executed a deed of arrangement, and Mr. Shearer, who supplied the granite for the works, has been gazetted bankrupt.— Sunday Gazette. DEATH OF LADY CLERK.--The death is an nounced this morning of Lady Clerk, the wifo of the Right lion. Sir George Clerk, Bart., who has at various times held important offices in connection with the Government. Her ladyship was the daughter of Ewan Law, Esq., and niece of the first Lord Ellenborough. The census of 1861 revealed the curious fact that in tho whole south-west of Ireland there worn but two Jews. One of these ancient people abode in Munster, and tho other in Connaught, so that they sufficed between them for a population of nearly three millions. In the metro politan districts of Loinster, 200 Jews were found, and a Jewish colony had settled about Belfast. SHAREHOLDERS' FREE SUNDAY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. --Yesterday was the second and last free Sunday for this season at the Crystal Palace, and on this occasion the directors had issued 10,000 free tickets to the secretary of the National Sunday League, for distribution amongst the members of the Crystal Palace share clubs and their friends, who eagerly availed themselves of the privilege, TIEIRD EDITION.

The Doncaster meeting commences to-morrow, and ex tends over an area of four days, each of which holds out every hope of most attractive sport. On the first day the Champagne Stakes and the Great Yorkshire Handicap aro set down for decision. The Great St. Leger, the Doncas ter Plate, and Her Majesty's Guineas will be decided on Wednesday. Thursday's card will include the Eglinton Stakes, the Corporation and Portland Plates, and the Cleveland Handicap, and Friday will wind up with the Nursery Plate, the Park Hill, the Doncaster, and the Don Stakes. The Glasgow Stakes will probably go to FRIPON NIER The Champagne Stakes will not excite tho usual amount of interest from the fact that ACHIEVEMENT is amongst the entries and sure to win, her most formid able opponent being Marksman.' The Filly Stakes ought to be won by PROBLEM. Of the nineteen contents for the Great Yorkshire Handicap the following six have most attraction for me, viz., Bradamante, Sundeelah, Salpinctes, Ameer, War and Nu. Bradamante's perform ance will be watched with no little interest, as a guide to Savernake's form for the great event on the ensuing day, Sundeelah has been selected instead of Red Earl to do battle for Major Stapylton. Salpinctes in his Cesare witch form would assuredly win this race, but the mar ket looks unhealthy to a degree as he has been sent to 20 to 1. Ameer is highly thought of in the stable. War looks especially dangerous, and being a sound, good game horse, he is bound to be ono of the first three, if not the actual winner. The Revival Plato has a lot of penalties and allowances, but I think the CORPORAL, from his running at York, is most trustworthy. In the Doncaster Plate NORWOOD is well in, and to him or SWEET ANNE I shall leave the race. The St. Leger is the great feature of the meeting, and will put all the other races of Wednesday completely in the shade. Annexed,is a list of the probable starters .and their jockeys, or at any rate of those horses at all likely to biterfore with the result : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. Savernake Challoner Lord Lyon Custance Westwick A. Edwards Rustic Fordham Knight of the Crescent Norman Vespasian J. Grimshaw Repulse Cannon Tosophilite c Parry Podargus J. Osborne LORD LYON holds his pride of place in the betting with unmistakeable firmness, and is selected almost unanimously to champion the prophets to victory, an opinion in which I entirely coincide. SAVEitNAKE has now resumed a more healthy appearance is the betting, at this present time of writing, but on the eve of all great events canards are always the order of the day, and his reported defeat by l3radamante surely is ono of them. Scund and well at the post Lord Ailesbury's horse has pretensions to win this much-coveted prize second to none in the race, but doubts of his possessing the former necessary qualifi fication will cross my mind, and more especially as since the Derby he has missed some of the richest stakes of the y e ar, which appeared almost at his mercy. STRATH CONAN has to be photographed under two very dif ferent views ; in the first, the gallant grey as he made his appearance at Stockton in The Great Northern Leger there, and was supported by a host of friends ; but West wick, whom he beat a long way in the Derby, with Mb. less on his back, made a shocking example of him and his deluded supporters. Just seven days afterwards, at odds varying from 20 to 50 to 1, according to the eagerness of his supporters to be on (all Yorkshiremeu), he afforded his owner (Mr. Watts) an agreeable surprise by winning the Great Yorkshire Stakes easily, turning the tables ou his Stockton conqueror, and at the same time upsetting the liberal odds laid ou Rustic ; but this was a great fluke, and not likely to be repeated at Doncaster. Lord Glasgow's representative, whichever it may be, has no chance. KNIGHT OF THE CRESCENT and WESTWICK are evidently the two upon which John Scott's supporters will have to depend on the day. Lord Exeter's horse met with a mishap at Ascot, which prevented him running there, but having had an opportunity of lately seeing the horse taking his exorcise on the Welds, and afterwards stripped in the stable, I am in a position to state that he has not only recovered from his mishap, but is as sound as a bell, besides which, in point of condition and appearance, I have no hesitation in saying ho will look, and, as Ifobreo lieve perform, a better horse than he over ran bo Westwick is also much improved, and, from his runn ing m ust not be with Strathconan and Honesty at Stockton, lost sight of ; and his performance of winningt Handicap subsequently is another argument in with because he won all the way and at the d a rn b u i s t the favour,Ebor [ ignore re markablealto- ease.

Yesterday Nu had a nice gallop of a mile and a half, and so did Lord Glasgow's pair, the roan going tho best of the latter couplet. Emigrant led tho Lady Dundas filly, and Lochaber galloped with Stolen Kisses.

Eakrin lioniton, and D'Estournel are walking. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon merely took gentle exercise this morning, and left with Achievement by an early train for Doncaster. No horse in the world can be better than he is. He will win the Leger easily, and• his sister tho Champagne. Doubtless, too, Ellaud will bring back the Doncaster Cup. MALTON. John Scott has taken War, Westwick, Knight of tho Crescent, Knight of St. Michael, Grand Cross, Queen of Nuts, and Kismet to Doncaster. All are well ; and if anything happens to the two southern cracks, the half brother to West Australian will win. lie is very fit, and the Crescent likewise. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake, accompanied by Bradamante and others, has left for Doncaster ; and ho galloped yeserday as freely as possible, all collar work, and ho will not disgrace us in the Leger. If ho misses that he will win the Doncaster Stakes. Look out for Pepper's Ghost at Newmarket. Staghound is still an absentee. RICUMOND. Strathconan cantered a little yesterday, and then was sent on to fulfil his Leger engagement, Newland, Chats worth, Dolan, Feemy, and Lozenge going with him.

A quarter of a second is quite near enough, and we have resolved to take no notice of smaller divisions ; thus, hereafter, " two-fifths" will b e se t down as one-half, five eighths as three-quarters, and seven-eighths as a whole second. This eighth of second business is all a humbug.- IVilkes's Spirit of " The Times," New York,.

Arthur Edwards will ride for the Whitewall stable in the St. Leger. Robert Pock has succeeded IL May as private trainer to Lord Stamford.
