TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the Discount Market very little business is negotiated, and while there are but few bills brought forward their circulation is restricted by the idea that money will become cheaper. It is generally t hought that the directors of the Bank of England will find it necessary to lower their official minimum to 3. per cent. next Thursday, as brokers are dis ,,n-ting papersbelow the present official quota `4°/1, and, in some instances, per cent. The influx of £38,000 in gold took place at the Ban k of England yesterday. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- Pointed special settlements in the London and Brazilian Bank (Limited), New £2O Shares, Friday, the Bth September ; the Ceylon Company, A Shares, Thursday, the 14th of September—both descriptions to be marked. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets b usiness during the last few days has been mode rately active. Sugars have been in fair request at full Prices, only limited transactions have been effected i n tea owing to the large quantity to be offered at Public sale to-day. Coffee has been in some in stances rather cheaper, while in rice there has been Jess doing, and prices have in some instances b een rather lower. Tallow haabeen in active re quest for both present and forward delivery at Blightly enhanced prices. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent.

HENRY TaNrs.l,Er.—The sitting magistrate (Mr: Arnold) has received the following letter: " Worshipful Sir, — .1 have read a leading article in the Morning Advertiser of the 23rd ult., respecting the case of Henry Townley, an old soldier. The article strongly re commends the public to assist him, but the journal, as a rule, declines to receive subscriptions. Being of the opinion of a subscriber of the Ist of September, that pub licity may cause others like myself to subscribe. I trust your worship will pardon the liberty I have taken, and receive any subscriptions on behalf of the old soldier.—l remain, your most obedient servant, J. GOUGH Maldon road, Haverstock-hill. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) • LISBON, Aug. 30. In.the Chamber of Deputies, on the 28th inst., Senor Tomas Ribiero addressed the following ques tion to the Government relative to the alleged re fusal of the Papal Nuncio to admit Prince Amadeus as proxy for King Victor Emmanuel at the baptism of the infant prince. Senor Ribiero said :—" The Minister for Foreign Affairs having declared him self ready to reply to a question of which I have already given notice, I shall now enter upon the subject. The facts are serious, and I shall endea vour to be as parliamentary as possible. Every body knows that the periodical press of the capital and the public generally arc discussing an insult supposed to have been offered to the first citizen of the country, and that all desire to be edified re specting what has passed. It is said that an august prince arrived here to fulfil important functions at the baptism of the Infante, and it was seen with as tonishment that this prince left Lisbon before even the ceremony took place. I should greatly regret that these circumstances should constitute an offence to the royal person, and that the dignity of the country should have suffered. Consequently, I should wish to know if the Government is aware of these facts; whether, also, it has been consulted or not upon the expediency of the choice of the godfather destined to hold the Infante at the bap tismal font ; and, finally, whether notes have been exchanged respecting certain doubts that may have arisen." The writer has forwarded 255. as his own subscription and ss. from "R. B." Air. Townley can have the money provided for his use by applying at the court. DETERMINED SUICIDE OP A RIFLE VOLUNTEER. —About two o'clock this morning it was discovered that a man about 30 years of age, named Frederick Lawton, a stage carpenter, and also a member of the 29th Middlesex Rifles, had committed suicide at No. 38, Great Windmill-street, Haymarket. It appears that at the time above-stated the wife of the deceased went home and found the deceased lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Sergeant Lees, 9C, and a constable, as also Mr. Harris, surgeon, of Windmill street, were called in, when the head of the deceased was found to be most frightfully shattered, he having dis charged the contents of a rifle in his mouth. Attached to the trigger of the rifle was a loop, into which the de ceased had placed his foot, so as to enable him to dis charge the rifle. It is said that the deceased was an ex cellent shot, and had received several prizes from rifle corps. Some unpleasantnesS between the deceased and his wife is alleged to be the cause of the deceased com mitting the desperate act. Count d'Airla, Minister for Foreign Affairs, re plied as follows :—I thank the hon. member for giving me the opportunity of correcting the inna curate statements current on this subject. There has been neither correspondence nor diplomatic conference on this question with the representative of the Holy See at our Court. The prince alluded to did not come as proxy for any person, his only object being to pay a visit to the Queen, as his other brothers have done. I might confine myself to these few words, but I will add that the dignity of the country has been in no way injuredpseeing that any attempt of such a character would not have been tolerated by any person whatever." Senor Ribiero—" The explanation just afforded by the Minister fully satisfies me, and I am de lighted that the country will thus learn that its dig nity has suffered no injury." The Navigation Treaty between Prussia and Great Britain. (REUTERS EXPRESS.) • FRANKFORT, Sept. 2. Various rumours have been current as to the object of the recent journey of Lord Napier, the English Ambassador at Berlin, to Gostein. It has now transpired that the real motive was the con clusion and signature of a treaty of navigation between Great Britain and Prussia. The treaty consists of seven articles. Its aim is stated in the preamble to be a further development of the treaties of April 2, 1824, and March 2, 1841, respecting the mutual treatment of the ships of both countries, in accordance with changes in the navigation laws since those periods. In both States (including the British colonies and foreign posses sions, but with regard to coast navigation only where such have been or shall in future be opened by Act of Parliament), the ships and cargoes of the one Power, no matter whence they hail or whither they are bound, or whence the cargoes are obtained, or whither they are destined, are to be treated in every respect in the same manner as the ships and cargoes of the other Power. This clause, however, has no bearing upon exclusive rights of fishery within the waters of either country, and upon the local privileges of certain classes in Great Britain in individual harbours. Privileges and rights granted in this respect by one of the contracting parties to a third Power shall be simultaneously and uncondi tionally extended to the other. Another article re fers to the protection and assistance upon the strand ing or wreck of a war vessel or merchantman be longing to one of the contracting parties upon the coasts of the other (treatment, expenses, &c., as - with native ships) ; and a further clause settles the legal assistance to be given in delivering up deser ters by the local authorities of each party to the consuls-general, &c., in the territories of the other. The right of every present or future State of the Zollverein to join this treaty is reserved. Its dura tion is to be the same as that of the treaty con cluded between the Zollverein and Great Britain upon the 30th May last year. The ratifications are to be exchanged in Berlin within six months, or, if possible, earlier, and the treaty is to come in force four weeks afterwards. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

We took different beats. I killed two stags,and came home. Just before dinner the servant announced to me that a wounded stag was to be seen descending a hill near the lodge. I took my Westley Richard's carbine and ran out to try and shoot him, but about a mile from the cottage I fell in with a herd of very fine stags, which had been sent over the hill by my son, and I got two out of the herd, weighing 161- and 15st. When I returned I found that he (my son) had killed three, including the wounded deer that passed the lodge, making seven stags in one day, and all fine clean deer. He lost an eighth in a very provoking manner. At his second stalk he with his two shots knocked over three stags—one was killed on the spot, the other two wounded. Both got up one passed the cottage as I have described, and was afterwards killed ; the other walked quietly for a couple of hundred yards and lay down. When my son proceeded to load he, to his great disgust, found that all his bullets had dropped out of his pockets in crawling up to the herd of deer, and ther e was h e w ith a n empty rifle, and a wounded stag close to him. Nothing could be done but sit down and watch the stag, 'and send the forester for more bullets. This he did, and sat for an hour and a half close to the stag, each eyeing the other. When at last the forester reappeared, and was seen approaching, the stag got on his legs, went over the ridge of the hill, and was never seen again. It was a curious deer-stalking adventure—almost equal to what once occurred to me many years ago in Mar Forest. I had killed a stag and was walking home, the ponies following with the dead deer walking a mile be hind. A herd of deer crossed the river and passed me. I easily got up to them and rolled a stag over. I went to the stag and saw the shot had passed through his lungs, so to finish him, I put the rifle close to his side and fired the other ball through his chest. I then took him by the horns to drag him down to the path, intending to leave him on it, so that the men with the ponies might bring him to Mar Lodge. When I raised him I found he could stand, and he ran about 20 yards down the hill and fell. I thought it would be easier for me to send him down the hill in this way than to drag the great heavy brute. Six times I lifted him on his legs, intending to kill him when he reached the path; but when he reached it, the ground was level And he did not fall, but went off. My rifle was empty—he crossed the river, the sun had set, and I never saw him again !" The Russian Police Gazette states that a hermit, who had inhabited for 50 years a desert spot in the district of Tikhvine (Novogorod), has just died, aged 120.

VISIT OF THE EARL OF DERBY TO LIVERPOOL.-- The Earl of Derby will be entertained by the Mayor o Liverpool at the Town-hall in that town on the 25th inst DEATH OF COLONEL PLUNKETT BURTON.--W e have to announce the death of Colonel Plunkett Burton, late of the Coldstream Guards, which took place at his house in Grosvenor-square, on Sunday, the 3d inst., from rheumatism, which he got in the Crimea, and from which he suffered intensely with the utmost resignation. From his amiable, virtuous, and noble dispositi3n he was held in high estimation by every person who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was the only son of Admiral Ryder Burton, K.H., and the Hon. Mrs. Ryder Burton, youngest daughter of the 13th Lord Dunsany. He leaves a widow, an only child, and a fond and devoted father to lament and mourn his loss. ANOTHER VACANCY IN CHANCERY.—In addition to the vacancy among the chief clerks to the Master of the Rolls, in the appointment of Mr Hume as the new taxing master, there is one clerkship in the same division, occa sioned by the death of Mr. Fox, the head clerk. The work in the chambers of the Master of the Rolls has for some time been very heavy. FIRST MEETING OF COBDEN AND BRIGHT.— Banquets seem to have been very much in vogue in the early days of the League. Mr. Paulton, having re turned to Lancashire after a most successful tour in Scot land, was entertained at a dinner at Bolton. Mr. Cobden was present, and also was Mr. Bright, then a very young man. Both of them spoke, Mr. Bright's speech being the first delivered by him out of his native town. The occasion is interesting as being the first in which these trusty allies appeared in public together on behalf of Free Trade views. The first time they met was when Bright, then quite a stripling, walked one day into Mr. Coben's warehouse to solicit him to come to Rochdale to address an education meeting. He accepted the invitation ; Bright himself also spoke, and Cobden was so struck with him that he sought to press him wholly into the Anti-Corn-Law cause. Bright, who married young, lost his wife shortly after marriage. He went to Leamington, where Cobden visited him, and found him bowed down by grief. "Come with me," said Cobden, "and we will never rest until we abolish the Corn Laws." Bright arose and went with him, and thus was his great sorrow turned to the nation's and the world's advantage.-3Milchrist's Life of Cobden. THE HERRING FISHERIES.—It is questionable if ever the north-east coast of Scotland yielded less re turns since herring fishing commenced, during a whole week, than in that closed to-day. Here and along the east ern seaboard of Caithness and Sutherland the yield has been almost nil, and has done nothing whatever to increase the totals of the season. At Wick the whole catch of the week has only been about 50 crans, and though doubt less the rough weather of the last two nights has influenced the barren results, there seems little reason to believe that, under the most favourable cir cumstances of weather, with such tides, it would have been otherwise. Next week, however, we will have excellent tides, and it is to be hoped that, if the fishing is prosecuted as it ought to be, we shall have a considerable addition to the season's catch, which only yet amounts to 75,708 crans, or an average of about 77 crans for the 977 boats fishing here. This is considerably under the catch of former sea sons to a like date, the general average catch being, at the beginning of September, about 90,000 crane. The coast stations, which did so well in the early part of the season, have had scarcely any fish for a fortnight. Some of the stranger boats have left, certainly not to their credit, either as regards the books of their curers or their own prospects for the winter. But it seems they prefer lying wind-bound for a fortnight on their way home to prosecuting the fish ing, and securing means of comfort and relief from heavy debt. Helmsdale, which only averages about 40 crans, has not had such a miserable fishing for many years. A good mans of the Highland crews have left —not a few with the prospect of destitution in the wi n t er , not h aving caught— so many herrings as would meet the expenses of their keep during the season. The Cromarty district is also very pocrly fished. The Moray Firth stations are generally better fished than last year. Theft fishing received a check from the rough weather of the latter part of this, week. Up to Thursday little had been added to the previous average except at some of the smaller station€ at Banffshire. Mac duff averaged 4 on Tuesday, B.:„nff 8, Whitehills 6, and Portsoy 4, Gardenstown averaged 15 on Tuesday, 10 on Wednesday, and 18 on . Thursday. Its average is now about 190 for she season. Fraserburg, Peterhead, and ad- jacent stations have had little added this week to their former averages. Fraserburgh averaged 3on Tuesday, 1 on Wednesday, 4 on Thursday, and 4 on Friday; fish very inferior. Peterhead was blank on Monday and Tuesday, and averaged 11- on Thursday. Rosehearty averages about 89, and Sandhaven GO for the season. The stations further south have been equally unproductive during the week. We calculate that the catch on the Caithness coast is 20,000 trans under that of last year; Helms dale, 15,000 less ; Cromarty, 5,000 lesg ; Moray and Banff, 5,000 more; and Aberdeenshire, about 5,000 less, making a net falling off to this date of 40,000. It is, we suspect, vain to anticipate that such a deficiency will now be made up. Considerable sales of cured fish have been made here this week. As a general rule the quotations have been 31s. for full crown brands, 325. for full crown brands ready for shipment, 335. for half barrels, and 245. for spents. At Peterhead and Fraserburgh nearly the whole catch has been sold, last prices being 31s. 6d. for full crown brands and 245. for spents.—Northern Ensign, Sept. 2. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-WORCESTER, Monday Night.—A collision took place near Droitwich 11 . . this afternoon between a Midland passenger train from Birmingham to Worcester and a Great Western train. Several passengers were injured, but none of them seriously. Mr. Hardwick, Sheffield, received a cut on the head ; Lady Carnarvon's maid was bruised on the forehead ; Surgeon Adsett, Royal Artillery, was bruised on the face ; and Miss Green, Gloucester, also sustained bruises. WORCESTER HOP MARKET, Sept. 2.--Picking has partially commenced in this district, but only on forward ground, as the bulk of the crop is yet green and unfit for picking. The fine weather this week has been serviceable, and as the crop is very abundant a general commencement will be made in most of the Worcestershire plantations next week, in order to get through the unusual quantity of work before the pickers. TIIE ROSENAU, COBURG, Sept. 2. The Queen and Princess Helena took an excur sion, on Thursday, to the Castle of Heldburg, at tended by Lady Churchill. Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold were present, on Thursday night, at the opera at Coburg, when the " Freichutz" was per formed. dined•with the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg at the Kallenberg, yesterday. Prince Arthur left Coburg this morning for Eng. land, attended by Major Elphinstone. 4t• HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—AS at pre sent arranged the autumnal trip of her Majesty and the royal family to Scotland will take place on Tuesday next , the 12th inst., and the necessary railway preparations are now being made for the royal journey to Aboyne. The precise time at which the special will leave Windsor is not yet definitively settled ; but it is expected that her Majesty will leave about 10 minutes to seven o'clock in the evening. His Highness Prince Schwarzenberg has re turned to Claridge's Hotel from visiting his Grace the Duke of Bedford at Woburn. The Duke of Rutland has been entertaining, at Longshawe Lodge, Derbyshire, to shoot grouse on his ex cellent moors, the following distinguished party :—Earl and Countess of Tankerville, Earl and Countess of Brad ford, Viscount Newport, Mr. and Mrs. John Leslie, Gene ral Hall, and Colonel and Mrs. Richard Curzon. The Duke of Devonshire will entertain a large party at Holkar Hall, near Milnthorpe, towards the end of the month, in anticipation of the marriage of his only daughter, Lady Louisa Cavendish, with Captain the Hon. Francis Egerton, R.N., brother of the late Earl of Elles mere. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath left their residence in Belgave-square at the close of the past week for Longleet Park, Wilts, accompanied by their family. The Earl Cawdor and sons after visiting Cawdor Castle, Nairnshire, have arrived at Stackpole Court, Wales, to meet the countess and her daughter, who have returned from Germany. 120 89 1 a 104 5 1241 5 41 97a 61 7 58; 1391 9 8 128 4 99dl 8 61/ 21 li 2 ltoi / I 6FI / 1031 5 816 I 9i ,ITIES. MARYLEBONE. DISGRACEFUL TRADE OUTRAGE.—John Banks, a stone. mason, was charged with wilfully damaging and destroy ing six pair of stone trusses, valued at 155., the property of Mr. George Rogers, Gaisford-street, Kentish -town builder. William Edmonds, watchman at some buildings in Islip street, Camden-town, said he saw the prisoner, who was engaged upon the works, 'enter the premises and break six stone trusses, which are fixed to support the mantel-pieces. Having done this he left the place. Mr. Rogers deposed the prisoner had been in his employ, and the property destroyed belonged to him. Ono was a pattern he had purchased for him to work by. He was paid his wages between 1 and 2 on Saturday, when there was a dispute about the amount. He had made his bill out for £3, and he had not earned 10s. He was, however, paid 10s. Prisoner said he worked the whole of last week with the exception of a few hours on Friday afternoon, when he left to have some beer with a mate. On Friday night he sent in his bill for £3, thinking to receive it. He, how ever, did not receive a quarter of the amount, and that was no use for him to take home to his eight children. Seeing the trusses, upon which his son had been at work he broke them. Mr. Yardley observed that the prisoner had shown the character of a spiteful and malicious man, and it would serve him right if he was sent to hard labour. As there appeared to have been some dispute about wages, he would not do that upon this occasion. He would order him to pay 155., the amount of damage, in addition to 20s. fine, or be imprisoned for 14 days. CONCEALMENT OF CHILDBIRTIL—Jane Padley, servant, late of Torriang-avenue, was charged with unlawfully en deavouring to conceal the birth of an illegitimate female child. The evidence was not conclusive as to the conceal ment, for she told her mistress of her confinement, and she had also provided baby linen. Mr. Yardley discharged her. CRUELTY TO A CAT.—Joseph York, aged 23, and George Hopkins, a lad, were charged with cruelty to a cat. The evidence showed that the prisoner Hopkins held the cat up by the tail, whilst York poured some turps or vitriol upon it. A man who saw this done destroyed the cat out of its agony, ands gave the prisoners into custody. York was fined 30s. or 14 days, and Hopkins ss. or seven days. THAMES. AJUVESILE TIT/BP.—Ann Sullivan, aged 12, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a gold ring and money from her mistress. Elizabeth Pelham, a single lady, said she kept a lodging house at 58, Lincoln-street, Mile-end-road. The prisoner, whose parents were very poor, had been recommended to her by a person who formerly kept the house as a " little servant," and she determined on taking the girl upon trial, and for the work she had done had given her broken victuals and money. On Friday last a gold ring and a purse containing 30s belonging to her sister were missing. She marked some money, and missed 15d. of it. She sought the advice of a gentleman belonging to a banking-house who lodged with her, and gave the prisoner into custody The marked money was found on the prisoner. Her sister's purse was also taken from the girl. Mr• Paget said he very much regretted the dishonesty of the girl to whom the prosecutrix had behaved so well. He remanded the prisoner, and directed the mother of the prisoner and the sister of the prosecutrix to attend the next hearing. a t s h Aldridge, e w hWhite Swanlate Taver, in the Commercial-road East, near the Stepney Railway station, was brought up from Clerkenwell manager CONCEA LMENTo3I. J. Prison. He is charged with aiding and r S. Watts,lnTn landlord of abet ting a woman named Mary Grinnaw, alias Palmer, formerly cook at the White Swan, in con cealing the birth of her illegitimate child, which she was strongly suspected to have murdered. There was no doubt the child was suffocated, but the coroner's jury took a merciful view of the subject, and returned an open ver dict, that there was no evidence to prove who suffocated the child. The case against the prisoner Aldridge is that, after the birth of the child, he employed a woman to wash some female clothing which h ad been used by a lying-in woman, and that, when a constable arrested the woman Ginnaw, he said to him, " Can't we square this; you know what things are between man and man; she will only get the sack, and it will be ten thousand pities." This is the whole of the evidence against Aldridge, and it has been urged in his favour that all he did was from motives of compassion. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said he was now prepared with bail for the prisoner Aldridge. Mr. Paget—What amount of bail ? Mr. Charles Young—The prisoner's own personal re cognisance in £4OO, and two sureties of £2OO each. Mr. Paget—That is the amount of bail I determined upon. Mrs. Sarah Ann Robson, the landlady of the Victoria Dock Tavern, near the Victoria Dock, and Mr. Henry Love, baker, Sun Tavern-fields, St. George-in-the-East, offered themselves as bail, 'and were accepted. Alridge, who has been in prison a fortnight, was then liberated. MARKETS —.This Day. HAY MARKETS. Sktrnumm.—Meadow hay, 44 15s to 45 to £7 ; and straw, £ll6s to 42 2s per load. Trade quiet.

A JOCKEY KILLED.—The little border town of Annan held its annual races on Friday, and the proceedings were marked by a very melancholy fatality to one of the jockeys. The last stake was in the way of " consolation" to beaten horses, and among those entered was. Mr. Lindsay's Measure for Measure. Its rider was a young man named Harrison, in the employment of Mr. Sharpe, of Ecclefechan. At a critical point in the race a dog ran across the course and baulked the horse Harrison was riding. It stumbled, threw the jockey, and before he could get clear it fell heavily upon him. In its struggles and efforts to regain its feet it again fell upon the prostrate young man, and this time with fatal force, for in a few minutes he was dead. The race was stopped at once, and the greatest consternation pervaded the spectators. • THE CATTLE PLAGUE AND THE PRICE OF MILK. —We have received a communication from one of our cor- I respondents, a well-known merchant and importer in the north of England, epon the subject of the rise in the price of milk in London, consequent upon the cattle plague. Al though the letter is to a certain extent private, we feel its substance to be so important that we venture to allude to it in this portion of our issue. Our correspondent states that milk in his part of the country is extremely plentiful and superior in quality, and expresses a desire to send a few thousand gallons per day to the London market. If the cost:of carriage is economical, no doubt a , favourablo change in the London market may be effected by the consignment to it of such largo parcels of milk as are alluded to in the letter from which we quote.—Grocer.: burg. It is worthy of note, too, that not more than five or six members of the bar voted against the Lord Advocate at the recent election, and that many of those whom he thus in sulted by passing them over in favour of his stripling son canvassed for him from door to door for weeks together— yet this is the reward for their labours! Another matter intimately connected with this discreditable appointment is the pOsition of the other three Advocate-Deputes. They are, as we find from the almanac, Alex. Moncreiff, G. H. Thorns, and J. A. Crichton. Any one who looks over the rolls of the court, in which the names of counsel engaged in cases are always given, will find that Mr. Alex. Mon creiff has considerable practice in other cases, and therefore it may be fairly presumed that he is perfectly qualified for the office in question ; but as respects the other three, Mr. G. H. Thorns, Mr. J. A. Crichton, and James Moncreiff, the rolls of the Council tell a very different tale respecting their experience. We ask, then, on what principle the pre sent appointment can be defended ? Had all the other Ad vocate-Deputes been experienced men, in large practice, the present job would not have been so outrageous ; but when it is considered that the responsibility devolves on these men of deciding what cases are to be tried and what cases are not to be tried, and that they have themselves to conduct all the prosecutions, the public are entitled to ask whether these prosecutors have been appointed in the interest of the criminals so as to give them a good chance of escape when defended by counsel of experience. We hope Sir G. Grey, who is responsible to Parliament for all Scotch appointments, will take steps to cancel this job ; or if not, that some independent member will bring the sub ject before Parliament. —Caledonian .llercury.

THE HORRIBLE CASE OF STARVATION AND NE GLECT AT SPITALFIELDS.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, Mr. John Humphrey; the coroner for Mid dlesex, resumed the inquiry at Mr. Keymer's, the Com mercial Tavern, Commercial-road, Spitalfields, respecting the death of Joseph Stack, aged three weeks, who died from gross neglect. The additional evidence having been given, the coroner summed up the whole of the facts ad duced, which he said disclosed a shocking state of affairs. The cause of death was inanition from the want of proper food and nourishment. The father, it had been proved, covered the child up when he left, and it would seem from the injunction he left with the little boy, that if he showed the child to any one he would kill him—that would show that he intended the child to dio in his absence out. The question for the consideration of the jury was, whether the evidence showed that the deceased died from the gross and wilful negligence of the parents—if so it would amou4 to wilful murder. The jury, atter a brief consultation, returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against Edward and Ann Stack, for feloniously killing and slaying their infant child, Joseph Stack." The coroner then made out his warrant for their committal to Newgate for trial. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Queen Emma of the Sand- with Islands, with Lady Franklin and a party, visited the Crystal Palace yesterday. A late afternoon fete, with a great display of fireworks and illuminated fountains, will take place to-morrow. The Palace will be lighted up for an evening promenade after the fireworks, which will terminate about 9 o'clock. Extra late return trains will be run. One Shilling Day, Monday, Sept. 4. Admissions on payment, 11,896 ; ditto by season tickets, I,2sB—total visitors, 13,154. • TRAFFIC AND DIVIDENDS.—On the whole the dividends of the past half-year are satisfactory, and better than the general estimates. This, coupled with the very satisfactory traffic, has induced a greater feeling of confidence in railway property, and it has suddenly become manifest to speculators that railway shares are at much too low a price, and therefore there has been a rapid and con siderable advance in their values. It would seem that .money is not likely to command more than 4 per cent. in the discount market for some time to come, instead of the higher rates so generally and strongly prophesied by those deemed competent authorities ; and, with this prospect, it is unlikely that railways, generally improving and sound as investments, should command . over 5 per cent. to those who invest in them. A short time since some of the best stocks, such as London. and South Western, Midland, and North Eastern, could be bought to pay 5f per cent. They will now pay nearly 5,1, and there is every reason to expect that they will shortly further advance in price, and yield percentages similar to those of two or three years ago, before financial and limited liability companies came into existence to disturb the values of properties quoted in the Stock Exchange list generally—say from to 5 per cent., or on an average 4f. The traffic returns for the week again show fair increases. The Great Nort lesser hern, ones, maintain among the large t rlin l e e s a , and Metropolitan, week h te amon g the traffic on the Metropolitan was interfered with by a stoppage for a few hours on Thursday morning, and also by the heavy rains. The Great Northern traffic of all descriptions is very good, and the line, as a first-class passenger line, is in greater favour than ever. The London and North-Western traffic continues to show a fair per-tentage of increase, and this line has benefited 'largely by the great traffic to and from Ireland this summer, in addition to a larger traffic than usual with Scotland. The Midland traffic continues t o keep fairly ahead of the high figures of last year. Of the Northern lines, the Sheffield has proportionately by far the largest increase. It speaks well for Mr. Watkin and his subordinates that the line should at this time be doing so well, and, with the prospect :of the independent line to Liverpool being speedily made, induces very hopeful feel ings as to the future of this company. The Lancashire and Yorkshire receipts are at last beginning to fairly show the progress made by the cotton trade ; and although the stock is at a high figure compared with past dividends and traf fics, it is really only in accordance with what may be ex pected from the development and full occupation of the busy district occupied by this company. Before the end of the half year the receipts of this line will probably be the best of any of the large lines. The North-Eastern line is really in a thriving condition. Its increases, though moderate, are steady and certain, and the returns compare favourably with the very high figures last Year. The new furnaces in the Cleve land district are fast coming into blast, and with them, and the great development of iron-making going forward, the North-Eastern is benefiting vastly, and this in the face of considerable reductions on rates arising through the recent amalgamation with the West Hartlepool and other lines. We did not anticipate that the extraordinary traffic increases of 12 months ago would be maintained. It therefore speaks well for the present and future of railway property that the mileage receipts have generally shown a decided improve- ment, and we cannot but think that as the half-year pro- grosses, they • will maintain that improvement.—Railway News. The quotation of gold at Paris is about le per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z.; 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-lcths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The f;ourse of exchange at New York on London for bills f4t 60 days' sight is 109 to 109 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of god fr,An the United States. By advlcrs from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.7} per .£1 stcrlin Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than i n Hamburg. A Scotch Whig Job. The public have often been disgusted, and the Liberal Government greatly - damaged, by the jobbing of the Lord Advocate in filling up Scotch offices to which he has prac tically the right to nominate. Perhaps the most scandalous appointment ever madrin Scotland by any Lord-Advocate, Whig or Tory, is that made within the last few days by the present L o r d - Advocate —namely, the appointment of his Own son, Mr. H. J. Moncreiff, to be one of the Deputy Ad vocates for Scotland. Mr. 11. J. Moncreiff was called to the bar only two years ago, as we find from the official list in the "Edinburgh Almanac," and he is therefore a mere stripling, without any experience whatever fitting him for the discharge of such important duties. Parliament allows the liberal:sum of £5OO a-year to each of four Depute-Advo cates, in order to secure the services of men of talent and experience to undertake the office of public prosecutors ; and there is a very long list of able men from which proper selections could easily be made, and this list is constantly increasing. Take, for example, each of ill° last ten years. In this period the number of new men called to the Inr has been respectively 14, 15, 10, 9,5, 13, 13, 6, 5, and 8. There are 98 new men in the field since 1854, all of them now practising at the bar, in addition to the large number of seniors called before that date ; and yet the Lord-Advocate has passed them all over to appoint his own son, being one of the five new entrants in 1863 ! Such a disgraceful piece of family jobbery we believe to be unmatched. It would certainly lead to a Parliamentary inquiry if made respecting any equally important office in England. It is no wonder that the doings of the Whig Government in Scotland stink in the nostrils of so many good men and true in all parts of the kingdom. THIRD EDIT-161'i: SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLoCK.

THE ROYAL TRAINS. -- Mr. Eborall, ge nera l manager, Mr. Ashcroft, engineer, and Mr. Knight, traffic manager, of the South-Eastern Railway Company, attended yesterday at Woolwich Arsenal, and conferred with Major S cra t c h ley, R.E., director of works, on the necessity of counselling Her Maj es t y ' s a d v i sers to a b an d on the plan of conveying the Court from Woolwich to Windsor by rail on the arrival of the Royal family from the Continent as adopted throughout the line on their departure. On a survey and examination of the rails through the Royal Arsenal it was pronounced that in their present state it would be exceedingly injudicious to risk the chance of an accident. The numerous curves alOng the line in its pre-- sent state somewhat obstruct the passage of an ordinary locomotive, and render c considerable amount of caution requisite to avoid running off the rails. A new line of rails will, therefore, in all probability be laid down as sug gested, and the line will be retained for her Majesty's per manent use.
