XONtY 11ARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIG ENCB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market is much quieter than antici pated, as it was generally believed that a very con siderable number of bills had been held in reserve during the past few days in consequence of the ex pected reduction in the rate. This inactivity leads to the inference that still lower quotations may pre vail in the course of another week. The brokers have plenty of 'money at their command, and the general rate ranges from ii per cent. At the Bullion-office of the Bank, yesterday, the i n fl ux of gold represented the sum of £83,000. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 15th August exhibits some satis factory changes. The reserve of notes has been in creased by £878,445, and the bullion by £54527, while the other securities show a diminution of £ 9 32,238 . The public and private deposits also are r ather lar ger, while the Government Securities have r eceived an addition of £633,600.

FENIAN STOREHOUSE.- Another Fenian arsenal was discovered at Kilmallock, county Limerick, yesterday evening, when 500 ball car tridges with bullet moulds, cartridge filling machines, were accidentally found in some ruins. Three respectable far mers have since absconded. AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.—On the occasion of the late fatal accident on the London and Brighton Rail way, and just before the collision between the two trains occurred, and when the driver and fireman of one of the engines perceived that it was too late, the following words, according to the Express, passed between them :—" Joe," said the fireman, " there's no help for it ; we're right into ono another." "yes," rejoined his mate, the driver, "but I can see nothing but my wife and children at home !" The words were hardly spoken when-the dreadful encoun ter ensued, with the results we 114YQ before reported. 531, a 4 21 1171 13 17/ 90 57) 12:f i9l 118/ 19 18f 911 1 100 5 100 all 100 100 100 16.13.4 ISSK 100 100 100 all 100 100 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUG UST 17, 1866. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT. George Brooks, Joseph New, Edward Prince, and Thomas Clements, were indicted for violently assaulting Sarah Russell, with intent, &e. The prosecutrix admitted she had been drinking on the day in question until late in the evening, when she left the public-house in Old Brantford for her home. On her road she met the four men, who, after walking a short distance with her, began pulling her about. They also had been drinking, and the result was that they all rolled into a ditch. A man came up, and the prosecutrix asked him to see her home, and the four men were given into custody. Brooks appeared to have been the person most to be blamed, the others only occasionally taking Wart in the scuffling. The jury found Brooks guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners. • The learned judge sentenced Brooks to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. This trial concluded the sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. on their telling him what he was charged with he said ho knew nothing at all about it—that he did not even know Gairdilli, but this is known to the officers to be false. The injured man is in a very dangerous state. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STOCKTON RACES—TnunsoAr.

The weather during the forenoon was very unfavourable, and doubtless deterred many re gular attenders living in the vicinity from putting in an appearance. At two o'clock, however, the hour at which the racing was set to commence, the weather cleared up, and with the exception of an occasional shower kept fine till the close. Those of the turf habitues who were at Wol verhampton came on to Oxford, and the special and ordi nary trains from the metropolis were crowded, so that the attendance was nearly up to the average. The racing was good, a capital card having been provided by the manage ment. Details of the day's sport are appended : A HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; the winner to be sold for 50 sovs ; winners of any handicap after Aug. 10 (at 11. a.m.) 51b extra; half a mile, straight ; 14 subs.

Carden with having un lawfully in his possession several pipes and pipe -tubes, some of which were very valuable, the property of Mr. Frederick Nex, salesman, corner of Liverpool-street. Thomas John Nex, who is in the employment of his brother, the prosecutor, said that the prisoner came to the sale room about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and re mained there for some time inspecting different articles. From the information he received from a neighbour, he took hold of him by the hand, and charged him with having stolen some of his property. The prisoner said nothing, but endeavoured to escape. He searched him, and found the pipes up his coat sleeves, upon which he called a policeman and gave the prisoner in charge. Wm. Goodman, an engineer, said he was in the sale room yesterday, and shortly after four o'clock he saw the prisoner come in. He went first to where the inferior pipes were kept, but he noticed nothing particular until he reached the best quality of pipes and tubes, when he saw him take up several and, after looking about him, thrust them up his sleeves. He informed the last witness what he had seen. He had never seen the prisoner before, but he could swear positively to his identity. The prisoner, who declined asking the witnesses any questions, said that he had been a waiter at the Britannia Hotel, Burlington, near Hull, whero he had been employed for six months, and had been a week in London to-day. He left his place because he did not like it. Sir R. Carden—Most probably you left because you were not liked, and I shall remand you until the proprietor of the hotel has been communicated with, for he as well as others may want you. The prisoner was accordingly remanded until Wednes day. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK. George Franks was charged with embezzling three sums amounting to £24, the property of his employers, Sampson, Copstall, and others, the extensive warehousemen in Bow Churchyard. John Greene said that he was a cashier to the firm in question, by whom the prisoner had been employed for 12 years. It was a part of the prisoner's duties to pay the workmen on Fridays and Saturday mornings, the witness giving him the money, and the prisoner accounting on tne Monday for any balance that might remain. Last Satur day he gave him £43 135.4 d., but the prisoner rendered no account, and on Wednesday, when asked to make up the books he said he would do so, but witness told him it would do the following morning. Yesterday the pri soner brought him the book in which the payment of the workmens' wages was entered, and ,he questioned him about the money which he was charged with em bezzling, and he said that, acting under the instructions of Mr. Osborne, one of the partners of the firm, he had ap plied the amount to a particular purpose. Not feeling satisfied with this statement, he made inquiries of Mr. Osborne, and discovered that he had not given any in structions such as the prisoner stated. After some further evidence the prisoner was remanded BOW-STREET. John Hetherton was placed before Sir T. Henry, the chief magistrate, charged with obtaining £26, by false pre tences, from Mr. W. Stephenson, of Cannon-street. Mr. L. Lewis, of Ely-place, prosecuted; and Mr. W. Wil liams defended the prisoner. The Prosecutor said he was a merchant, residing in. Cannon-street. On the 6th of August he saw an advertise ment in the paper relative to the sale of a horse, and as he had just returned from Paris with the intention of pur chasing one, he went to the address given and met the prisoner, and they both went to Groombridge-mews, Lin coln's-inn-fields, and then he was shown a cob, and the price was stated to be thirty guineas. He told him the price was more than he had intended to give, but that he would call next day with a friend, and on the following day he went, accompanied by the gentleman, and after an examination an offer was made of £26. The property, m s npn o eeet n yrri e cy r a, had previously told him ho had been a lace mer linbadenoeldtnbhotahrrtniud, hsd a neh n t ridden wabn h yi sa a hhb t eindshnotlt to sell little girl, el a m tl ih a s made e at nhade horse, Iw g v r ah e wsn a lah t e deal pcnhefrhad hiseaoc dtf pet with all his children. Upon the representation that the horse was perfectly quiet, by the advice of his friend he offered £26, which was taken by the prisoner, and a warranty of soundness was given. The cob, however, turned out anything but sound, and was, in fact, a very vicious animal. The representations of the prisoner about his being a gentleman were all false. Mr. M. Williams, who appeared for the defendant, said the remedy of the plaintiff must be by civil process—he could not proceed criminally. Sir T. Henry thought that the proper course for the plaintiff to pursue was by county court summons. The plaintiff had acted on the advice of his friend. You bought the horse not on the prisoner's representation, but on the judgment of your friend, an experienced judge of horses, being an officer in the Life Guards. Compl.ainant—No, it turned out that he did not know anything about it. Sir T. Henry—Mr. Lewis, you know that is not enough to enable you to indict for false pretences. If it were, there would be no occasion for actions for breach of war ranty. It has been clearly laid down that a breach of war ranty is not au indictable offence. Soundness is a matter of opinion. You adjourned your decision until you con sulted your friend, you know. Complainant—l hadn't the money with me on the Mon day. (Laughter.) Sir T. Henry—You acted on your friend's judgment. Complainant—l thought the defendant was a gentleman, otherwise I should have consulted a veterinary surgeon. I trusted to the defendant's representations. Sir T. Henry—lf you had you would not have waited until the next day to consult your friend. The law of false pretences has been much extended of late, and very properly, but I am sure Mr. Lewis, who probably knows all the cases, cannot find one that goes as far as this. Mr. Lewis reminded the chief magistrate of a case which had but recently been before him (Sir T. Henry), which appeared to him (Mr. Lewis) to bo on all fours with this case. Sir T. Henry—Oh, but I did not send that case for trial. (Laughter.) You were on the other side in that case. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Your opinion, Sir Thomas, was much against me. (Laughter.) Complainant—The prisoner gave me a false address. Mr. M. Williams—That has nothing to do with the case. Sir T. Henry—lt is not every falsehood that renders a man liable to an indictment. Complainant—l parted with my money on the represen tations of the prisoner. Sir T. Henry —You parted with your money on the re presentation of your friend. If you had applied to me for a warrant before you gave the prisoner into custody, I woald have told you all this, but you did not do so. You gave th• man into custody without applying for a warrant. Mr. M. Williams—A very dangerous proceeding. The prisoner was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE TOTTENTIAM-COURT ROAD.—Titnothy Nolan, a rough-looking ycung man, de scribed as a labourer, of No. 5, Beaumont-place, Euston road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being acces sory to Joseph Gairdilli, before and after he stabbed and wounded Win. Paul, alias Alfred William Granger, on the 13th inst., in the Tottenham-court-road. Amelia Brophy, a young woman living at Ogle-street, Ogle-mews, said—On Sunday night last (Monday morn ing) abut half-past 12, I was at the corner of the Totten ham-court-road and Euston-road. I saw Paul and others, eight altogether. I saw Gairdilli stab Paul, and draw out the knife and then throw it to the prisoner. The prisoner caught the knife, wiped it across his coat sleeve, and then shut it up and put it into his pocket. The prisoner then said to Gairdilli, " Charlie, you have done it—sling your hook" (run away). Mr. Tyrwhitt—How far off was the prisoner at the time ? Witness— About three yards. Gairdilli then ran away, and the prisoner followed him till he got out of sight, keep ing his hands in his pockets all the time. I saw no more of either of them. The prisoner (in a tone of voice evidently intended to intimidate the witness) —Did you see me there ? Witness—Yes. The Prisoner—You are telling a false lio. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to whom it had been mentioned that some of the witnesses bad been threatened by the pri soner's companions)—l give notice that if the slightest threat is held out to a witness in this case, and any of the persons brought here,l will deal with them with the utmost severity the law allows. The prisoner will be remanded and bo brought up next week, along with the person who used the knife. The prisoner was taken into custody this morning about five o'clock, at No. 17, Brook-street, Euston-road, by Carter and Bootleotou, two ofeloorti 91 the 4 diyigien, and THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY AND CAROUSING ON BOARD SHIPS. —Francis Harris, aged 40, a ship-keeper of No. 9, Sabber ton-street, Poplar, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 50 bottles of wino and brandy, the property of Captain George Foster, the master of the ship Pitchelee, lying in the West India Dock. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was a ship-keeper, and entrusted with the care of the Pitchelee and her stores in the ab sence of the captain and officers of tho ship. The prisoner was guilty of a gross breach of trust, plundered the store room of wines and brandies, and entertained his friends and others on board the Chrysalite, another ship alongside the Pitchelee, where there was high life below deck, in the cabin, drunkenness, and a row. It appeared that on Sunday night last a dock watchman, named Sampson Rowland, heard boisterous merriment on board the Chrysalite, alongside the Pitchelee, and an hour later he heard bottles breaking and 'quarrelling on board the same vessel. The prisoner came on shore the worse for liquor, and roaring out, "One bottle more." He was asked who he was, and he said he was ship-keeper of the Pitchelee. The watchman ordered him on board the Pitchelee immediately, and threatened to lock him up if he saw him on the quay again that night. On the following morning Liddle, one of the principal constables of the East and West India Dock Company's police, wont on board the Pitchelee, and saw enough to convince him that extensive plunder had been going on. In the coal hole there was a bottle which had contained brandy. The exporter's label was gone. It was found upon the prisoner in his pocket, and it corresponded exactly with the labels on full bottles of brandy in cases onboard. There was a case which had contained 24 bottles of wine empty in the coal hole. The wine had been taken out. A case of brandy was missing, including the case. An empty case was found in the dock. Seven bottles of brandy were missed from another case, and the stores had been made free with, and the prisoner had bountifully entertained his friends. Mr. Sowerby, second mate of the Pitchelee, saw the prisoner delii'er a long boat hook to another man on Mon day morning and ask him to get an empty case out of the dock. It was landed. There were initials on the case F. 8., and 0. P. underneath ; the same brand was on other cases on board. The prisoner appeared greatly confused on seeing witness, and threw the case down on the quay. He ordered the prisoner to take the case on board, and said to him, " I am afraid rum work has been carried on in the ship while I have been away." Capt. George Foster identified the cases produced. The label taken from the prisoner was exactly similar to those on board the Pitchelee. Mr. Gomm cross-examined the witnesses, and made an address for the prisoner. Mr. Partridge said that a stong prima facie case was made out against the prisoner, who was guilty of a gross breach of trust. He committed the prisoner for trial. MARKETS.--.This Day. MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The trade ruled firm, at the full prices of Monday. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, but at full quo tations. Floating cargoes of grain were steady at quite late rates. Barley was in short supply, and the trade was steady, at full quotations. Malt sold slowly, at late rates. Oats were in large supply ; good and fine corn was steady in price, but inferior qualities were dull. Beans were dull, at Monday's currency. Peas met a slow sale, on former terms. Flour was in very moderate request, on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

BOROUGH HOP. The hop market ruled quiet. The unsettled weather, however, together with the unfavourable accounts from the hop gardens, imparted a tone of firmness to the cur rencies, and in all business effected the prices realised ex hibited no reduction from the previous week. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—Thore has been a good demand for West India , and a large amount of bu s i ness h as b een t ransac t e d at a slight advance in prices. Refined goods remained at about former rates. COFFEE.—The market has exhibited more animation, both Native and Plantation Ceylon sold readily at fully previous rates. Other descriptions were without change in value. Rim—The stocks on hand are limited, and business has in some measure been restricted by the high rates demanded bylholders. SAITPETEE.—A moderate business has been done at steady rates. British refined is quoted 25s 26s per cwt. TALLOW. —The market remains very dull. P.Y.C. on the spot, is quoted:—New 44s 6d, and last three months delivery 455 3d per cwt.

Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.'s result of the hide sales :—" At the fifteenth series of hide sales for the year a fair inquiry prevailed, chiefly for the home trade, the export demand being limited. East India, ox and cow. Calcutta—Of the quantity offered (which was large) a fair proportion found buyers at about late rites; the home trade being the principal operators. Dacca hides were in most request, and were nearly all sold. The analysis of the sales is 1 37,254 Calcutta new parcels, 27,279 brought forward from former sales, and 20,651 Bombay, Madras, Ice. ; in all 185,184 hides, of which 132,520 were sold. East India , —Buffalo. For those sold late rates were maintained. Leath er — Australian was in moderate request, at about late rates for the portion sold. East India sold irregularly, in some instances at easier prices. Salted hides—Australian sold at about Into rates, Cape were only part sold." It has been notified that the coupons due on the Ist of September on the Egyptian Government Loan of 1862, first and second issue, will be paid at the office of Messrs Freekliz and Goschen on that date. The following circular relates to the suspension of Messrs. George Little and Co. : 4 , Cullum-street, London, Aug. 15. Sir, —It is with much regret we are under the necessity of informing you that, owin g to the non-receipt of remit tances from Demerara, we are unable to meet our engage ments. We have every reason to believe that our estate is not only solvent, but will show a considerable surplus. We shall not, however, be in a position to submit any de finite proposal till the receipt of advices from Demerara, in reply to the announcement of our suspension, and which cannot be received for about eight weeks. In the mean time we have placed our affairs in the hands of Messrs Coleman, Turquand, Young, and Co., who will, as soon as accounts are received from Demerara, convene a meeting of our creditors. —Trusting to your forbearance in the meantime, we are, &c., GEo. LirTLE and Co. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets yeste rd ay were on a more exten sive scale, the reduction in the Bank rate of dis count having caused a good speculative demand for sugar, in which a large business was done at en hanced rates. Coffee also was in good demand, and superior qualities of both plantation and native Ceylon sold at full rates. Rice was more in quired for, but the q uantit y on offer being small upwards. In tallo w th e d ea li ngs prices tended have only been to a moderate extent, without any material change in values. The usual quarterly sales of colonial wool, being the third for the presentyear, commenced yesterday; the quantity to be offered amounts to about 133,339 bales, only 19,875 of which are from the Cape of Good Hope. There was a very good attendance, and home buyers operated freely, the prices ob equal to th e average of t h ose tained being fully current of the May and June sales, while a few superior Sydney descriptions brought an advance of about id. to Id. per lb. TRIAL BY JURY.—Trial by jury may be an excel lent institution, but it has its weak points. Yester day, George Morris Mitchell was indicted for stealing five pieces of paper the property of the Incorporated Law Society of the United Kingdom. On the 15th of March last the prisoner applied to the secretary of that society for permission to make extracts from "Ilansard's Petitions to Parliament," which was granted. In consequence of infor mation which be received the librarian subsequently ex amined the volume to which the prisoner had referred, and discovered that five leaves had been cut out of it. A search warrant was obtained, and the five missing leaves were found in a drawer at the prisoner's house. The prisoner admitted that he had taken the leaves, and was acquitted by the jury.—Pall - ma iigazettc. Captain G. Day's Stinger, 3 yrs, Bst (Cannon) 3 Marco Spada and Hurrah also ran.

Cholera: Its Symptoms and Treatment. Cholera is so called from xaVis, the bowels, and pew, to flow. It is also spoken of as Algide Cholera, the last term being derived from algeo, to be cold, to indicate the loss of heat, which is one of the symptoms of this fatal disease. The terms malignant and Asiatic are also applied to it. In a clever little pamphlet, by Dr. Alfred Orlando Jones, that practi tioner writes :—The treatment I should recommend, (until the patient is able to send for a medical adviser) is as follows : —Tincture of camphor, five drops ; trituration of opium, five to ten grains, given alternately in half a wineglass of water, every 10, 15, or 30 minutes, according to the severity of the symptoms. In the first stages the strongest tr. camphor given every 10 minutes, and small doses of opium every 15 minutes, are the best remedies ; but no time should be lost in sending fora medical adviser in the meantime. If there is thirst, drink cold rice water and arrowroot or beef-tea. Let the patient maintain a recumbent posture ; cover the body with blankets, and put a hot bottle to the feet, and throw tincture of camphor on the bed, and Condy's disin fecting fluid, or carbolic acid on the floor ; let all nuisances about the dwelling be removed. If this. cannot be done, let the patient, as soon as convales cent, be removed to a healthy and high situation, to avoid a second attack and expedite recovery of strength.
