ZIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL 114TELLIGENC It. TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the Money Market there is rather more acti ;Jay, and the rates are rather firmer. This is owing ° Payments on acc o un t of Indian engagements. ,N j ' a e lowest rate among bankers and brokers, how ever, is still per cent. below the official minimum. The sum of £lO,OOO was taken to the bullion de- Partinent of the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon. The Tanjore has arrived from Alexandria, with £137,212 in specie. Prom the manufacturing districts the accounts f (° the past week state that business generally has remained very inactive. Cloths and yarns at Man chester have been pressed for sale, and prices, coo sequently, have given way. In the woollen districts °1 Leeds,' B ra df or d, an d H u ddersfield, there has be en very little animation, and prices remain un altered. The hosiery trade of Leicester and Not tingham has, however, shown symptoms of improve -1)4,, ; but in Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-* l amepton business generally has remained very quiet in all departments.

The business transacted in the corn market to day resulted in an advance of 3s. to 4s. per quarter In both home-grown and foreign wheat, as com- Pared with last Monday. The English Funds opened quietly, but at the last moment they are a little more active at a well-sus tained advance of 1 per cent.

At last the day comes when a dose of prusFic acid must finish the business, or a medical practitioner must be called in who will by a severe regimen restore the dog's health and appetite. An ex-konnelman in our neighbour hood made a very comfortable income by this peculiar line of practice. He divulged the secret of his system a few days before his dissolution to the estimable clergyman of the parish. " I always tied 'em," said this canine Abernethy, "to a crab tree at the end of my garden for a week, and gave 'em nothing but water. When I fetched 'em from their mistresses they refused to eat what I should have been glad to get, and when they went back they would eat what I couldn't have touched. I've had some dogs twice or three times a year, but I always cured e'm at last. One of them was as good aA three pounds a year to me. I was terrible fond of him, but he never took to me ; and when he saw me coining for him to bring down his fat, he 'would waddle away, and howl enough to wake the doad.

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 lino, 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 1.81 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 —it is alleged—a cautious speed, because somepoints 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 exposed 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 r 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 rhyndettdraeth, middle-aged ; Janet Philips, of the same place, aged about 60 ; Catherine Parry, of the Panrhyn 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 allo 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, Tho Doctor's Wife, Tho Lady's Mile, 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 Braddon's newly-announced shilling, illustrated, monthly, magazine, The Belgravia. Mr. Charles Dickens's 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, wo aro surprised to bear, 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 bo slowly recovering. . THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' CRICKET MATCII AND GALA.—This affair was looked forwtrd 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 the Surrey Ground, Kennington-oval. The weather proved fair, a slight shower only occurring. MARKETS.---This Day. POLICE INTELLIG: I INCE.—This Day. BOW-ST) MET. MODERATION AND FORBEARA NCB OF THE POLICE. —James Padden, a solicitor's clerk, - vrus brought bef ore 31r Vaughan, charged with assaulting polico-constables, Clements, 68 A, and Bagley, 519 A. Clement stated that on Saturday night he and Bagley were retiring from the Princesg's Theatre, where they had been on duty, when, as they pal ;sed through Whitehall the prisoner came upon them fromt behind, and rushed between them, shoving witness against. ;the wall, and Bagley upon the kerb. They told him not; to do that but to go on quietly, or they should have te• :take him in custody. He. passed on to the corner of King-a reet, on arriving at which point they found him waiting for them, and they again remonstrated with him, requesting him to let them alone and go away. He then followed thorn to the door of the station-house, when he struck witno,3B in the face, knock ing off his bat, 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 he 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 tho face. Mr. Vaughan—Which of them? The Prisoner—One 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 quite clear that this was not true. On the contrary, the police appeared to have acted with great toleration and forbearance. He must pay ss. for each assault, making 10s., or be imprisoned for seven days. MARK ',ANL. 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.

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 France a fair quantity has been taken, whilst German houses have shown more disposition to operate. wool trade is firm.

MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY AT A GENTLEMAN'S HOUSE.—John Harcott 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 fottune, residing at The Elms, Bichley, near 4romley. John Davis, one of the City detective force, said that about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon ho Waft going up Bishopsgate-street Within, and saw the prisoner with a brown paper parcel, partly covered with a towel. His suspicion was aroused, and he 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 he said ho bad from home, and was taking back again. He refused to give his address, and prisoner took him into custody. Tho towel had the name of " Marshman " on it. Mr. Marshman identified the articles as his property,, and said they were safe on Thursday evening, but were missed on Friday morning. e The prisoner declined examining tho witnesses, and was remanded until Thursday. MAMLBOROUGII-STREET. A TURF COMMISSION AGENT CHARGED WITH A BRUTAL ASSAULT..—.John Metcalfe, a turf commission agent, resid ing at No. 12, Great Pultoney-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting John M'llenry, 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. Ho considered it a case in which no fino ought to bo 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 ono 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 one 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. Ho called the prisoner a returned convict at the station-house, but not in the street. Mr. James Snosall, blind maker, of Broad 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 he was knocked down a second time. Ho saw no provocation given. The 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 tho com plainant. Richard Vent, 191 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and iu answer to the prisoner said tho 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 he called the prisoner "a returned con vict." The constable said it was. Mr. Tyrwhitt 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 onforco the law in cases of unpro voked assault. It was no use 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, an old man, and Henry Skinner, a youth, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with feloniously and barglariously 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 S head, police-constable 664 A, on Aug. 24 last, and made a full confession of his guilt ; and said that ho and Howard committed the burglary and robbery while the inmates were asleep, and that they were three hours in the house before they effected their object. The prisoner also gave such information to Shead as to lead to the recover, 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 he wont to a hi:ins° in King-street, Cambridge Heath-road last night and saw the cap and coat which Howard now had on in 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. He 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 kayo 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, at irregular prices. Sales probably 10,000 bales. ETON COLLEGE.—The vacation, which commenced on the 3d of August, will terminate on the 26th 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 a ban krupt.— Sunday Gazelle. DEATH OF -LADY CLERIC—The death is an nounced this morning of Lady Clerk, the wife of the Right lion. Sir George Clerk, Bart., who has at various Limos 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 the whole south-west of Ireland there were but two Jews. Ono of these ancient people abode in Munster, and the other in Connaught, so that they sufficed between them for a population of nearly three millions. in the metro politan districts of Leinstor, 200 Jews were found, and a Jewish colony had settled about Belfast.

The DoncasTtenr mEeG ot ß in E g A cfm S m i e t. nc L e E s to-morrow, GEß 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 are 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 Ilandic4), and Friday *rill wind up with the Nursery Plate, the Park Hill, the Doncaster, and the Don Stakes. The Glasgow Stakes will probably go to nurox- NIER The Champagne Stakes will not excite the usual amount of interest from the fact that ACHIEVEMENT is amongst the entries and sure to win, her most forinid-: able opponent being Marksman. The Filly Stakes ought to be won by PROBLEM. Of the nineteen contents for the Groat Yorkshire Handicap the following six have most attraction for me, viz., Bradamaute, 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, Suudeelah 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 bo one of the first three, if n o t the actual winner. The Revival Plate has a lot of penal Lies 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 hint 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 tho shade. Annexed is a list of the probable starters and their jockeys, or at any rate of those horses at all likely tv interfere with the result : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. Savernake Challoner Vespasian J. Grimshaw Lord Lyon Custanco Repulse Cannon Westwick A. Edwards Toxophilite c... Parry Rustic Fordham Podargus J Osborne Knight of the Crescent Norman 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 SAVERNAKE has now resume d a more I he e a u l t t i h r y ely c apptara cid n% in the betting, at this present time o( writing, but on the eve of all groat events canards are always the order of the day, and his reported defeat by Bradamanto surely ie 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 qualiii fication will cross my mind, and more especially as since the Derby he has missed some of the richest stakes of the year, which appeared almost at his mercy. STRATI-L -CD:CAN 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 51b. 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 Yorkshiremen), he afforded his owner (Mr. Watts) an agreeable surprise by winning the Great Yorkshire Stakes easily, turning the tables on his Stockton conqueror, and at the same time upsetting the liberal odds laid on 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 exercise on the `Molds, 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 he will look, and, as I be lieve perform, a bettor horse than ho. over ran before Westwick is also much improved, and, from his running with Strathconan and Honesty at Stockton, must not be lost sight of ; and his performance of winning the Ebor Handicap subsequently is another argument in his favour, because he won all the way and at the finish with re markable ease. His running the next day I ignore alto gether, as he was leg-weary, and upset from his pre vious day's exertions. RUSTIC belongs to one of the roost honourable sportsmen of the day ; a noblemna and gentle.. man in every sense of the word ; who treats all those parties who are lucky enough to come in contact with him with a suaciter in mode, which is worthy of all praise, and . reminds one of those days when the Turf was pa tronised by many of a similar class. He was doubtless short of preparation when he performed last week at York, and will most likely reverse the running there with Strathconan—nevertheless, so little if any improve ment has been made in his Derby form, that he can not defeat Lord Lyon. PODARGUS, ;the property of the Earl of Zetland, has given us a taste of his staying qualifications by wining the Queen's Guineas at New castle-upon-Tyne from Honesty and Terror, but that form is not good enough for a groat race, still his lord ship is one of the most straightforward nobleipen on the Turf, and his horse is sure to run and try. Nothing else seems to me to have a chance for the Great Northern Prize, and I shall anticipate the judge's decision by placing LORD LYON 1 SAVERNAKE 2 WEST WICK 3 LIDDINGTON will win the Corporation Plato. The Munici pal Stakes MANDRAKE will win. Iu the Handicap Sweep stakes for Two-year-olds MlsronTuNE ought to secure. There are no less than fifty-eight , subscriptions for a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, run on Thursday, and of the public performers those penalised aro most trustworthy, and of th.s lot I should think KNIGHT OF THE GARTER has only to run and win. For the Eglinton Stakes, BUMBLEKITE. The Scarborough Stakes is a question of weight between KNIGHT OF THE CRESCENT and REPULSE, which might be altered by the St. Leger running. The Cleveland Handicap, EAST LYNN certainly cannot very well lose, and the following look - best y in the Portland Plate, viz., Coup d'Etat, Mrs. Stratton, Gretna, Hopvine, Musician, and fiily by Lord of the Isles Of Friday's running I can say very little. WEST WICK looks like winning the Sweepstakes of 200 soya each, LORD LYON the Don Stakes, and QUICK MARCH the Park Hill Stakes, whilst the Doncaster Stakes will be decided in a great measure by the result of the St. Leger.

Scott's lot for the St. Leger, Mr. Bowes's Claros, 3 years, the winner of the Ebor St. Leger at the recent York meeting, fell dead en Langton Weld on Thursday. Claros, with War, Westwiek, and Knight of the Crescent, took a gallop with Norman up, and wont on all right ; but on walking 50 yards or so afterwards suddenly rolled over on his rider and expired. Death is supposed to havo boon caused by disease of the heart. The late Mr. Gordon's Cumming's collection has bee n added to Barnum's AfitSeutn, at Now York.
