The money market presents a less active appear ance to-day than it did during the latter part of last week. There is, however, a good many bills in circulation, and although the floating capital is abundant, the rates are firm, and 8 per cent. is the lowest quotation for first-class paper. Gold to the amount of £25,000 was taken to the Bank of England on Saturday. It is reported that the stoppage of the Corrgle ton Old Bank is but a small affair, the liabilities being estimated at £B,OOO to £lO,OOO, and the assets at £3,000. Prom the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week represent that business generally has shown very little improvement in most departL , 'bents. At Manchester there has been a very limited Slightl y inquiry for both c l ot h s and yarns, and prices have given way. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has remained very quiet, and only moderate transactions have been entered into in autumn goods. At Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery and lace business has been exceedingly dull, while in the hardware districts of Birnaingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton de pression has generally prevailed. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse, this morning, according to Reuter's telgram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f. 27c. Inanimate. An idea that the downfall of rain may seriously affect the results of the harvest has led to several speculative sales on the Stock Exchange, and Con sols are k per cent. lower, in consequence the latest prices being 87t j for money, and 88} 1 for the September account. Business of all kinds, however, continues very quiet, and the attendance is limited. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 86i 8 7i ; and India 5 per Cents., 102 i 1031. A degree of steadiness is shown in the values of some of the Foreign Stocks. Greek have advanced 1 to 111 12 ; Turkish :5 per Cents., 1 to 261 1; Spanish Passive, Ito 19i ; Mexican continue at 16i 171 ; and Italian at 51i ; the Brazilian Scrip has receded Ito 41 3i dis. American Securities are generally at slightly enhanced quotations. United States 5-20 Bonds have risen 1- to 68i 1; Illinois, Ito 401 I ; but Erie Shares have declined I to 401 f. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Alli ance have receded to 191 19 ; Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China are at 33 34 ; Anglo- American Telegraph Company, at 121 13 ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England, at 31 dis. ; and Egyptian Trading Company, at 51 Business in the Corn Market :has been rather dull, but fully lates are demanded by factors for both home grown and foreign wheat. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and prices generally are a shade tatter.

MARKE TS. --This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances prices wero somewhat easier. For spring corn the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour sold slowly, at late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, without ma terial change in prices. At New York very little business is doing for export to Great Britain. Large shipments of oats have recently been made from Canada to Europe. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 17,444 quarters of wheat, 6,000 barley, 131,814 oats, 2,292 beans, 4,855 peas, 4,066 linseed, 10,824 rape seed, 23,310 maize, 1,030 sundry seeds, 117 sacks and 1,425 barrels of flour. The demand for seeds ruled inactive, at last Monday's currency. East India linseed and rapeseed were firm. Cakes were in fair demand, and American descriptions were rather firmer. Fresh up to our market to-day the ariivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The trade for all qua lities was firm, and higher prices were demanded. Millers, however, appeared indisposed to make extensive purchases, and sales generally progressed slowly. Last Monday's currency, however, was well supported, and in some in stances fine wheats showed a slight improvement in value. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was only moderate; never theless, prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of wheat were held at full prices. Spring corn afloat were but little inquired for. The supply of English barley on sale was small ; of foreign, moderate. The trade was quiet, on former terms. Malt sold slowly at late rates. • Oats were in large supply. Good and fine corn was firm in price, but inferior qualities were dull, and 6d to Is per quarter cheaper than on Monday last. Beans met a slow sale, at barely late rates. Peas very dull and prices had a drooping tendency. Flour met a slow sale, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE.

Now that the Goodwood Meeting has come off the less said about the mysterious doings of the metallic operators the better. There was a great gathering of spectators, bookmakers, and welchers; but the latter class had the worst of it, as the ge neral public went more for amusement than for backing horses. What with bills of sale on horses, others scratched when the last penny has been got out of them, and the equivocal intentions of owners, horseracing is fast getting into as bad repute as prize-fighting. Brighton races commence to-morrow. For the stakes there is a very moderate lot of horses engaged. The top weight, Archimedes, has lost all form, and has no chance. Tomato has done no work, and can't win. Ackworth has got too much weight. Scamander, Bradamante, Rama, and The Beadle are badly in. Of the remaining lot I can see nothing to beat Wild Agnes and West wick, and I fancy them in the order named. Bradamante can win the Marine Plate, should Mr. Payne think ?roper to run her. Ostregor will beat The Dako n the Champagne, as the latter will not forget his severe race in the Goodwood Cup for some time. The Fourteenth Biennial Stakes will be a good race between Cecrops and Auguste, and the former ought to win, as he beat a better lot of horses at Newmarket than the Frenchman met at Goodwood. The Railway Stakes will be a match between Knight of the Garter and Fripponier, the former for choice.

The party, consisting of over 300 persons, started from St. Paul's Pier for a trip down the river, and on ar riving off Purfleet at about a quarter to 8 o'clock, the anchor was dropped, and the passengers- were taken off in small parties in boats, and landed on the southern side of the river. The persons in charge of the ropes and stakes were amongst the first to go ashore, the object being to get the ring formed with as little delay as possible. It was the work of 20 minutes nearly to land the whole of the passengers, but by the time the last boatload reached the shore the ring was not only formed but Mace and Goss had entered it with the usual greet ing, awaiting the arrival of the referee, an office fulfilled by a gentleman attached to the staff of an old established sporting paper. On reaching the ring this gentleman stepped inside for the purpose of giving some necessary instructions, simultaneously with which the belligerents retired to their respec tive corners, attended by their seconds, and they, without the least delay, commenced making what in pugilistic parlance is called their " toilette"—in other words, they divested themselves of their walking attire, u nder which they wore white breeches, trimmed at the knee with a gay ribbon. Having " stripped," they each stood up, raising their muscular arms in the air amidst the admiring shouts of the spectators, while their seconds rubbed with towels their brawny backs and shoulders. Both men looked in splendid condition, and though dressed, or rather undressed alike, and of the same size and weight, still they were as unlike each other as it is possible for two men to be. Mace, with a skin the colour of that of a mulatto, looked the beau ideal of a highly-trained muscular man. Goss, on the other hand, has a skin perfectly white, with a not very prepossessing expression of countenance, and a somewhat disproportioned figure, and appeared the least likely of the two to come off victoriously. He manifested, nevertheless, the most determined pluck through the contest, though he got very severely handled. Both men, to use a thread bare phrase, appeared decidedly " eager for the fray." They advanced from their corners to the centre of the very limited area, and cordially shook hands, Mace jokingly cautioning his opponent to " take care of himself." Having gone through this form of " good fellowship," they at once receded from each other, awl put tuumb-eivuo 1./WILIV. --- they assumed their respective attitudes than Mace led off the fight. After carefully feeling his way, and making several feints, which Go j ss cleverly countered, he succeeded in slightly touching his man about the head and face, when the partisans of Goss shouted "Go in, Goss, give him no time." This advice served to move Goss to more energetic action, and after re ceiving one or two slight taps from Mace he drew his left fist up to his breast, and sending it forth from the shoulder with fearful violence struck Mace heavily on the chest. Mace, closely eyeing this movement, sought to avoid the full effects of th blow aimed at him by springing slightly on one side, but in doing this he lost his equilibrium and toppled a little forward. With extraordinary alacrity Goss, following up his left handed blow upon his oppo nent's breast, struck upwards with his right, trying to accomplish what is termed an " upper cut." He failed, however, to make good his aim, for Mace dropped back to his corner, and again springing forward he struck Goss very severely on the left eye. They then closed, and, after exchanging some severe hitting, separated, and striking at each other at the same moment they both fell to the ground after fighting five minutes. They were carried to their corners amidst tremend ous cheering. The favourable opinion that bad existed for Goss being already► shaken, odds in favour of. Mace were freely offered. They were up to time in the second round, and after exchanging some heavy blows, Mace struck his adversary on the left eye, which a he sought to follow up with his right hand, but this attempt was countered cleverly by Goss, who in return struck at Mace but failed to land his blow. They finally closed and fell to the ground, Goss undermost. In the third round Goss's face was already covered with the blood that flowed from a cut over his left eye, still he was up to time, and advanced to the attack almost savagely, striking with all his power directly at Mace's face. Mace, however, who was remarkably cool, smilingly countered the efforts of Goss, delivering a third blow on his left eye, laying open a portion of the cheek. This was followed by some rapidly exchanged blows, and, closing, they again fell to the ground. In the fourth round equally terrific blows were exchanged, and Mace threw his man heavily to the ground. In the fifth round Goss succeeded in striking Mace a terrific blow over the left eye, which appeared to close up rapidly. Sharp blows were exchanged, and, closing, they both fell heavily to the ground, In the sixth round Goss again struck Mace on the same eye, which he returned by striking Goss with his left hand on the right cheek, completely laying it open. In the seventh round both men, who appeared equally as determined as when they first commenced, exchanged some heavy blows, and finally fell to the ground, Mace undermost. In the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh rounds the fighting was very rapid and severe, Goss in every case getting the worst. In the 12th both men sparred a little more, and then both men closing, Mace threw his man, striking him twice in the face while he was in the act of falling. In the 13th Goss threw Macc. In the 14th, 15th, and 16th rounds the fighting was equally desperate, Goss by this time (25 mi nutes) becoming nearly blind from the blows he had received on his eyes. Mace in two or three rounds was thrown by Goss, and in two Mace threw his adversary. On the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th the same punishment was received by Goss, still he was up to the time in each instance, but in the 21st round the sponge was thrown up, and Mace proclaimed the victor, after fighting 21 rounds in 30 minutes.

BOW-STREET. Tun NEW "JACK SHEPPARD." Norman, a pre cociously cunning -looking urchin of about ton years of age, Iras charged with being found in a stable in Clare street, Clare-market, belonging to btr. Mumford, flour and corn dealer of Newcastle-street, Strand, supposed to be there for an unlawful purpose. Charles Walker, a carman in the service of Mr. Mum ford, stated that on Saturday night he went to the stable to feed his horses and found the prisoner in a chaff-bin ; he was covered over with a sack. The prisoner said no thing. In answer to tho magistrate, The prisoner said that a big boy employed at the shop gave him leave to sleep there. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk) —I suppose there are lots of things about the stable that anybody might steal? Witness—Oh, lots of things, sir. Mr. Burnaby—ls he known ? Police-constable Judman, F 81, who took the prisoner in custody, said the prisoner was in custody in February, 1865, for being concerned, with two others, in stealing 20 books from a shop in Russell-court; in October, together with his sister, for breaking into a chandler's shop at 5 o'clock in the morning. On each occasion he was liberated after a short remand. He had on another occasion been charged with stealing strawberries in Covent garden Market.' _ . Another incident in the career of the prisoner, who is known by tho soubriquet of "Jack Sheppard," is that shortly before Christmas last he took upon himself to drive a score of sheep from Shepherd's Bush to Groat Queen street, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, without the consent of the owner. There he was stopped, and the sheep were re turned to their owner. On that occasion the prisoner being asked what he was going to do with the sheep, re plied that he wanted to "kill one at a time, as ho wanted it." The prisoner said he had been locked up by his mother for a week, because he had lost a pair of shoes worth 2s. 6d. belonging to his sistos—tho little one now at home— and having escaped from the window by means of a rope attached to the bedstead, he thought he would stop away till he could make up the half-crown. After being about the streets all Friday night, he was going to stop out Saturday night, too, but a boy opened the stable door with a key, and said he might sleep there till five o'clock in the morning, promising to lot him out at that hour. The prisoner's mother here came forward and said the prisoner was the "most unruliest boy as ever was," and do what she would there was no keeping him at school. Mr. Flowers—Do you think he would stay at school if I sent him there ? The mother said sho could not afford to pay for him, as •no of his sisters was "away" already. Inspector Brannan said nearly all the family were away, and tho sister alluded to was as bad as the prisoner. lie was remanded, with a view to the necessary arrange ments for his committal to a reformatory. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CAUSE OF STREET AceinExTs.--John Kyffin, of 16, Dorset-street, Dorset-square, badge 9,202, was charged before Mr. Knox with:being drunk, furiously driving, and damaging a wagonetto and injuring a horse. Police-constable Webb, 114 C, said that in consequence of what he was informed last night he went to Regent circus, and found that the prisoner, who was drunk, had been furiously driving a horse attached to a Hansom cab, and had damaged a wagonette and injured the horse, the horse and wagonette being driven at the time by Mr. J. Parkes, licensed victualler, of 2, Queen-street, Soho. Ho took the horse to the station. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said he believed he injuries to the horse and the wagonette had been set tled for. No one was hurt. Prisoner said he had had no tea ; he had had a little brandy, and the horse was -a veryawkward one to drive. Mr. Knox referred to the prisoner's license, and found that on the 28th July ho was fined 20s. for furious driving. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner's employer if ho thought the prisoner was a fit man to hold a license. _ _ _ Th• employer said that the prisoner had never been fined before the 2iith July, and that ho might have had a glass or two last night, but the horse was a very awkward one to drive, as it shied at the light of the lamps. Mr. Knox asked the employer if that was the case why he had sent such a hors• out ? The prisoner had driven about the streets to tue risir of me, ana wouta not lie easy till ho killed somebody. Ho should fine the prisoner 405., and if ho was charged again he would lose his license. The employer was about to address the magistrate, but Mr. Knox declined to hear him, stating that he was not altogether blameless in the matter. THAMES. THREATENING TO SHOOT, AND WOUNDING. —Ludwig Schultze, a sugar baker, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with threatening to shoot Christopher Youngo, a dock labourer, who appeared in court with a large surgical plaster on his head. Tho parties aro Germans, and the evidence was trans lated by Mr. Wintjen, interpreter to the court. On Satur day evening the prosecutor, au old man, went to No. 18, Buckle-street, Whitechapel, where the prisoner is living, to visit his grandson, Jacob Schime, a lad. The prisoner was in the room, and a quarrel took place about family matters. Tho prisoner, who was in a violent passion, took a loaded pistol from his breast, pointed it at Younge, and threatened to shoot him. The boy interfered, took the pistol away from the prisoner, and hung it on a nail in the wall. Some time afterwards the prisoner stabbed the old man on the head, inflicting a serious wound from which ho bled profusely. The prosecutor wont into the street, and met a police-constable, named Nathan Nicholas, No. 36 11, to whom he gave the pistol and made him understand what had taken place. The policeman drew the charge from the pistol, went to the house in Buckle-street, and took the prisoner into custody. After upwards of ono hour's investigation Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner, intimating that he should commit him for trial. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market opens quiet.

HORRID NAUES I—Objection is made by the Builder to the term "Dead Meat Market," as "an unplea sant expression, wholly unnecessary. M eat M ar k et, " a dd s our contemporary, "is surely all that is required to dis tinguish it from the Cattle Market." Tho suggestiOn is worthy of being adopted. The subject reminds us that near Kensal Green a house of entertainment strangely seeks to allure customers by calling itself the " Cemetery Eating House"—a term very suggestive indeed of a " dead zueat . markot" and a company of ghoulo. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was tolerably extensive, and in fair condition. Most of the French beasts were very goad. Sales progressed slowly on rather easier terms. With home-fed beasts wo were fairly supplied. The grass-fed stock came to hand in prime condition. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very limited. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Sibs. The extreme top price was 5s Gd per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,200 short horns ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 43 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 50 ozeu, &c. The show of English sheep was tolerably good, and most breeds were very prime. Downs and half-breds, in cluding prime Leicestors, &c., moved off freely, at fully last week's currency ; but most other breeds wore a slow inquiry, on former terms. We had a dull trade for lambs—the supply of which was on the average—on easier terms, viz., from Gs 8d to 7s 8d per Blbs. Calves were in fair average supply, and sluggish request, at last week's prices. In pigs, very little was doing ; nevertheless, the quota tions were supported.

BOROUGH HOP. The accounts recently received from the hop districts are mostly of a favourable character. In low-lying gar dens the appearance of the plant is not so healthy as could be wished, ly..tt the general prospects of the crop are highly satisfactory. The trade is quiet, and brown qualities may be purchased for rather less money. Fine parcels, how ever, are firm in price.

Mr. WATKINS gave notice that early next session he should move for a committee to inquire into the operations of the Limited Liability Act. LAMBETH WORKHOUSE. Mr. OLIPHANT asked the President' of the Poor-law Board whether the statement of Mr. Day, Master of the Lambeth Workhouse, in explanation of charges of gross misconduct preferred against him and Mrs. Day by Thomas Rawley on the 6th of April, 1865, was considered satisfac tory ; and, if not, whether it was the intention of the Poor law Board to institute an official inquiry into the conduct of the master and matron of that establishment? Mr. G. HA.RDY said an inquiry had been instituted by the guardians, and they had reprimanded the master, and a report to that effect had been furnished to the Poor-law Board. The matter had now been at rest for nearly 12 months, and ho considered it too late to re-open au in quiry which had occurred 12 months before he had taken office INDIAN OFFICERS. Major JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for India whether any, and, if so, what steps had been determined on with a view of finally remedying the grivances under which the officers of the local army of India had so long laboured ? Viscount CRANBORNE said it was proposed to offer some remedy, but it:was extremely difficult to explain what that remedy was, without trangressing the bounds given in answering questions. In brief, one of the remedies was to allow all officers belonging to the Indian army before the amalgamation to join the staff corps without going through any kind of examination ; and with respect to the bonus system, it was proposed to appoint a com mittee in each Presidency to inquire into the amount paid by each officer as they retire, and to ascertain the pay ments he had made, which payments would be returned by the Government to officers, but without interest. THE ENGLISH JUDGES. Mr. GRAVES asked the Attorney-General whether it was the intention of the Government to take into consi deration the necessity for increasing the number of Judges, and the re-arrangement of the jurisdiction of the Cour. s. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the subject was one of extreme difficulty, but was authorised by the Lord Chancellor to state that during ;lie recess his most anxi ous attention would be given to tn.' state of judicial business, with a view of devising some remedy fur the more speedy disposal of business. THE CHOLERA. Mr. J. A. SMITH asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether, viewing the extensive outburst of cholera in the eastern districts of the metropolis, the Government were prepared to allow Parliament to separate without providing the means of summary interference in cases where the vestries may neglect the enforcement of sanitary precautions, or may omit or delay the neces sary arrangements for the care of the sick, and the _sepa ration of the healthy from the dying and the deac . l The hon. member took the opportunity of stating!o w loadand the miserable position of matters in Betl o in and Poplar at the present time with respett wore lying and dying of cholera. In many houses bodies y without any means being at hand for theirss s olepo and other and in the latter place there were open existence without there extremely dangerous matters in Is tilheg,uo.ad ps H to e nt would take hoped the Goverume being any stringent power to dealewxu.sho of things. alter such an alarming state msuecahentiivatetesrste. At thenin g of in themetropol s. wer e treated Mr. AYRTON condemned i o the wain which pe the poor the sess i on great effort was made to arrest the disease in ca ttle by l Tug a rate, b u t that was not the course adopted when um an beings were being . struck down by cholera. He thought it of the utmost importance that the rich should be at once called upon to come forward and alle viate the poor. Mr HARDY said the guardians had no power to deal with the public health, that power was with the vestries, which were not under the poor-law board. He believed the vestries were making great efforts to deal with the matter, and he believed their hands would be greatly strengthened by the Public Health Act, which would re ceive the assent of Parliament to-morrow. During the recess he should devote his anxious attention to the sub ject, with a view to alleviate the distress which prevailed in different parts of the metropolis. Mr. HENLEY thought there was still time to pass a short act to remedy any defect which might be found to exist. Mr. NEATE said he bad suggested long ago the pro priety of the Government. bringing in a bill to enable them to make advances for sanitary purposes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not think it at all wise to hastily introduce a measure alter ing the law upon which their 'hole local administration was founded. The Bubject then dropped. THE BANK ACT. In reply to Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, Who CHANCELLOR of t h e EXCHEQUER said they had no power to infringe the law, but if a representation was made to the Government with respect to the letter ad dressed by the Government to the Bank of England some time ago, that representation would be most carefully con sidered and an answer would be returned. He thought that a far more convenient and proper course than st a ti ng off hand in reply to a question the views of the Govern ment on the matter. INDEMNITY BILL. This bill was read a second time, and the standing orders being suspended it was passed through its remain ing stages. NEW MEMBER. On the motion of Col. TAYLOR, a new writ was ordered to issue for Carmarthenshire, in the room of Col. Pennant ) now Lord Penrhyn, called to the House of Lords. EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT AHENDMENT BILL. The house then went, into committee on this bill. Clause 1 was agreed to • _ _ Sir F. GOLDS'SIID moved an additional clause to the effect that nothing in the bill should be taken to autho rise the extradition of persons for political offences.

Nixon, House Governor and Secretary, had an interview, by appointment, with the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, with the view, if possible, to interest, through him, the corporation of the city of London in particular and the citizens generally in the present state of the hos pital and the excessive and increasing demands upon its resources, consequent on the outbreak of cholera in the eastern part of the metropolis. The Lord Mayor had readily granted the interview and listened to the statements made by the deputation with the deepest sympathy and interest. Mr. T. BUXTON said they had given up one-third of the hospital or the whole of one floor exclusively to cholera patients, and in consequence of it being necessary to have one nurse to every three patients, they had been obliged to increase their staff of nurses, in addition to superintendents, many of whom rendered their services gratuitously. The number of patients admitted into the cholera wards from the 10th of July to that morning, the 4th of August, was 365, of whom 299 were suffering from cholera and 66 from diarrhoea. Of these 97 had recovered, or 48 from cholera and 49 from diarrhoea; 158 had died from cholera and 8 from diarrhoea, or 166 in all ; and 102 remained in the wards, 93 of them afflicted with cholera and 9 with diarrhoea, very few of whom were convalescent. The number of out-patients treated during tha same period in the receiving-room of the hospital, the cases not being severe enough for reception into the establishment, were 6,251, the attendance on. whom involved extra labour and cost. ME I cholera staff of the hospital consisted at present of five resident medical officers, 35 day nurses, 35 night nurses, and four men employed by day and two men by night in other departments. The entire expenditure of the establishment had been increased, for extra diet and stimulants to an extent beyond all previous experience in hospital treatment, includ ing extra issues of wine and brandy to nurses, pa . tients, and labourers. This year they were to have publicly opened a new wing of the hospital which they had lately built, and though they had been obliged to forego the intended ceremonial, which would probably have resulted in a large addition to the funds of the hospital, the completion of the new building had been most fortunate and opportune at this time when so much additional space was wanted by the extraordinary influx of patients and medical men. It had been perfectly astonishing to witness the zeal of the medical staff. At first there was a good deal of fear of contagion, but much of that had been abandoned, and all the authorities of the ' hospital, with many others, had volunteered their services in the emergency. Two nurses had died and one was ill now, but the former were extra nurses, and slept out in the neighbourhood of Beth nal-green or other places where there was cholera ; so that the authorities of the hospital hoped the death of the two nurses was no absolute proof of the disease being contagious. It was frightful to wit ness the sufferings of many of the patients in the hospital. Fortunately, when the disease reached the state of collapse the suffering appeared to cease, but in the earlier stages it was fearful. Many of the people who were brought in were just skin and bone, and they came in poisoned, as it were. They (the deputation) had called upon the Lord Mayor in the hope that he might be able to lay their case before the corporation with a view to a grant from its funds. Mr. NixoN, the houselovem. &A li tliza zt i on could not be found in the hospital. Mr. S. GURNEY, M.P., observed as a sad and sig nificant fact that on Friday last there were as many as 30 bodies in the dead-room, and people could not be got to bury them. They had since got 16 of them buried ; but on Friday the demands on the staff of the establishment were so great that time could not be found for the interment of the dead. A very great proportion of the patients were German sugarbakers, large numbers of whom lived in that part of London. Mr. SEBAG, a member of the deputation, observed that it was astonishing to see the number of little children in the wards of the hospital. A great ob ject of the deputation, he said, was to obtain the advocacy of the Lord Mayor in the Court of Com mon Council in the emergency. The LORD MAYOR said he should be doing the Court of Common Council an injustice if he thought they required any advocacy of his on such an occa sion. This was a question of humanity—(mar, hear)—and he had no doubt the corporation would cheerfully respond whenever an appeal was, made to them in such a case. They had always done so in similar cases, and he was sure they would not be wanting on this occasion. There was great distress in the east of London, irrespective of that caused by cholera, amohg the families of men out of work, and those people were thrown upon local charities for relief. • He had received two or three deputations on the subject, but he had been cautious about alarming the public. He thought, however, the time had now arrived when the merchants, bankers, and other principal citizens should be invited to join in a subscription towaris the relief of the prevailing distress. As respected the corporation, they were now in i•ecess, and would not meet again until. September. There would be much difficulty in convening a meeting of Common Council at present, when many of them were probably out of town ; but in the meantime the position of the hospital was h a a a r t h d o l y r i s t o i e b s a h d a asd wiselyi m ig might appealed appear t a o t t fl h r s o t public,sight . T a n h d e he observed that by the aid of the newspaper press, considerable sums were flowing in from day to day. Mr. GURNEY, interposing, said they that morning received 170 letters containing donations, raid they could not be too thankful for the liberality which. was being shown them. emer gency. Privy LORD MAYOR said the public were much in debted to the m for their great energy in the m py Council-office, geney.liew anasthden going from there tothe would take an opportunity of mentioning what he heard from the deputation. He was inundated with letters about sanitary matters, and people seemed to be alarmed at the existence of anything that might produce malaria. From all he could hear the disease had mostly attacked people who had but little stamina, and those who from their poverty, had but little to eat, and that litt:e probably bad in quality. The deputation then took their leave. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This Day. .0-- -- LONDON, Aug. O.—Wind this day at noon. —South- Westerly ; moderate breeze and cloudy weather, with heavy rain.
