(Before Mr. Justice Byles.) James Flock surrendered to an indictment preferred against him, on the coroner's inquisition, for feloniously killing and slaying Thomas Nicholls. The prisoner was driving a cab early in the month of July, and as he was proceeding along Goswell-road, and the vehicle was turning into Spencer-street, the deceased was knocked down, and from the injuries received he ultimately died. The witnesses for the prosecution were very positive as to the manner in which the prisoner was driving his cab They said it was going at the rate of 10 miles an hour ; that the prisoner never called out to caution persons pre vious to crossing. The deceased was knocked down and killed. Tho witnesses all said the cab was being driveh very furiously, and that the prisoner was altogether guilty of great negligence. The witnesses for the defendant were quite of the contrary opinion, and added, when prisoner knew ho had caused the accident, he attempted to drive off, but was stopped by the police. They said that the de fendant was driving along at the ordinary pace—which was nothing like 10 miles an hour—and that when he was near Spencer-street, the deceased came out from behind a ran, and, notwithstanding the shouting of the prisoner, he attempted to cross the road, and in doing so was knocked down by the cab. The cab, they were of opinion, was not going at more than six miles au hour, and that the pri soner was not in the slightest degree to blame for the acci dent, because he had done all he could to avoid it. The cab, they stated, was pulled up within ten yards of the accident, whilst on the other side it was stated the driver did all he could to escape, and that the vehicle was not brought back to the spot where the accident took place before a quarter of an hour had elapsed. The cab owner said the prisoner was a very careful man, and that the horse he was driving was an old one, and quite in capable of going ten miles an hour. Mr. Justice Byles summed up the case at great length, nd said it was for the jury to say which of the two sets of Witnesses they felt disposed to depend upon. After a consultation for about ten minutes, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Justice Byles said he would consider the whole of the facts connected with the case before he passed sentence. Sentence deferred accordingly. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Thomas Kelley, 19, labourer, and Benjamin Clift, 21, labourer, were indicted for robbery, with violence, upon James Crawley, and stealing from him Gs. The prosecutor stated that on the 28th of July he was passing through White Horse-street, Whitechapel, when the two prisoners, and another man not in custody, sprang upon him, seized him by the throat, and threw him on to the ground and took the money in question from his pocket. He begged them to give him two shillings of the money to buy bread for his children, upon which they put their hands over his mouth to stop him from raising an alarm. They then ran off in different directions. Clift was followed and taken, and Kelley was taken some distance from the place, and when charged he said he had not been near the spot, and was returning home from the theatre. Mr. Ribton for the defence contended that Kelly was no t one of the parties to the robbery, and called a witness who stated that the prisoner carried on the business of a greengrocer, and bore a very good character. The jury immediately acquitted Kelley, and returned a verdict of guilty against Clift. Tho police proved that he several times before had been convicted. SeLteneed to seven years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Mary Horscroft, 17, was indicted for unlawfully endea. vouring to conceal the birth of her child. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. William Dykes Meredith was indicted for unlawfully causing and procuring to be written and published, in the county of Surrey, a certain false, scandalous, and defama tory libel of and concerning Emily Sophia Ackland. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment. James Pearce, druggist, was indicted for stealing seven lace shawls, the property of Michael Barry. The prisoner was also indicted for unlawfully obtaining the said goods by false pretences from Eleanor Humphery Bunney. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the Judge sentenced the prisoner to one year's imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A COFFEE-SHOP KEEPER CHARGED WITH VIOLENTLY ASSAULTING HIS DAUGHTER.-- Samuel Martin, a coffee shop keeper, at 6, Union-street, New Bond-street, was charged before Mr. Knox on a warrant with violently as saulting his daughter, Elizabeth Sarah Martin, about 14 years of age. The complainant said—The prisoner is my father. Last Wednesday week, about 6 o'clock in the evening, my father beat me because I had quarrelled with my stepmother, who had been grumbling at me till I did not know what I was about. She told my father when he came in, and he bear me with a walking-stick till it broke, and then he used a broom. He struck me with it twice on the head. My head was cut and bled a great deal, and my back was covered with bruises. Nothing was done to my head, only I bathed it a little. I did not complain. I ran away and my father caught me and took me back. Mr. Knox—From what was said when the warrant was applied for I thought you had been to your uncle's. Girl—l should like to go there. Mr. James Mills, tradesman, of 5, Union-street, who was mainly instrumental in the proceedings being taken, said on the day in question I heard terrific screams, and saw the child run out into the street. She was going to run to me for protection, but went on. Her hair was clotted with blood. The prisoner was hooted in the street. The pri soner got inside and said he would serve any one else the same. The blood at the time was running all down the girl's neck and arms on to the pavement. When I hooted the prisoner he asked if it had anything to do with me. Prisoner—You did not see me do it? Mr. Mills—But I have often heard you threaten her. You said you could do as you liked with your child, and serve your neighbours the same if they interfered. Michael O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, said —I apprehended the prisoner, and ho said it was hard that he could not chastise his own child. He said she had called his wife names, and he struck her. On the way to the station he said he was sorry for it. The prisoner called a Nvitness, who merely deposed to hearing the girl and her stepmother quarrelling. Mr. Knox—lt is my intention to remand you. The prosecutor has opened a case of very brutal and excessive violence against the prisoner. Without disputing a parent's right to chastise his child, still, at the same time, there are limits to that. A parent has no right to correct his child with a broomstick in the manner described. I will not decide the case while there is so much excitement prevailing, but will take a week's reflection. Prisoner—Will you take bail ? There is no one to look after my business. Mr. Knox—l will take two bail in £25 each for the pri soner, on condition that the girl in the meantime goes to her uncle's. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE THAMES.—Catherine Anderson, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Paget with attempting to drown herself in the Thames on the previous evening. ,A Thames waterman stated that his boat was hired by the prisoner at Bermondsey stairs to cross the river. He had reached nearly to the middle of the river when she suddenly jumped into the water while he was endeavour ing to avoid a barge. Mr. Paget (to the prisoner)—What do you say to the charge ? Prisoner--I came out of prison on Friday. I was sent there for a week for attempting to pass counterfeit coin. Since I have been out of prison I have been living with a friend. The prisoner was remanded. THREATENING ro MURDER.—Edward Wilson, a ship wright, was charged with attempting to stab police-con xtable H, 146. The complainant stated thathe was on the previous night doing duty in Wells-street, Goodman's Fields, when a disturbance took place. He went into the crowd, and there saw the prisoner in the midst of it. Complainant went up to him, when ho took a knife out of his pocket. He unclasped it, and held it up with his right hand, threatening to stab him with it. He (complainant) knocked the knife out of the prisoner's hand with his staff. The prisoner picked it up, and again made an attempt to stab him. Complainant closed with him and flung him on the pavement. He then wrenched the knife out of his hand. He was drunk. Mr. Paget (to the prisoner)—Do you want to ask him any questions ? Prisoner—No, sir. I was very drunk. I do not re member using the knife at all. The prisoner was committed for trial. SCHOOL EXCURSION AND TRENT.—Upwards of 400 children of the northern district of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, accompanied by the Rev. R. G. Maul and nearly 100 teachers and friends, were seen yesterday marching, with flags and banners flying, from their schools in Castle street, Long-acre, to the Ludgate-hill station, where a special train was in readiness to convey them to St. Paul's Gray-common, Kent, the rural and romantic scenery of which was a great contrast to the neighbourhood of Drury lane, which they had just left. A very substantial dinner and tea were amply provided by the liberality of the pari shioners and other frienas. Swings, croquet, and cricket formed part of the amusements of the day, and in the evening a fire balloon and a display of fireworks collected all together for the departure. Many of the children re turned with bouquets of wild flowers, others loaded with blackberries, and all much gratified. The infants were regaled with cake, tea, and amusements suited to their ago, at their schools. Naval and Military Intelligence. In consequence of the chartered troopship Beau marls Castle, which has been taken up by the Council of India for the conveyance of reinforcements to Kurrachee, not being reported in readiness to em bark her troops, as had been ordered, orders were yesterday received at Chatham garrison notifying that she will not sail until the 22d inst. The follow ing are the troops who proceed to India in the Beau maris Castle :--viz., 3 officers and 34 non-commis sioned officers and men of the 101st Royal Bengal Fusilcers ; 1 officer and 153 men of all ranks of the 90th Light Infantry; 1 officer of the 82d Regiment; 3 officers and 80 men of the 42d Royal Highlanders; 51 non-commissioned officers and men of the 79th Cameron Highlanders ; 1 officer and 26 men of the 95th Regiment ; 1 man of the 51st Light In fantry ; 2 men of the 3d battalion Rifle Brigade ; 1 man of the 93d Highlanders ; and 1 man of the 21st Hussars. Orders have also been received at Chatham for the following troops to embark on board her Majesty's screw steamer Urgent, for conveyance to Bermuda and Halifax--viz., 3 officers and 100 non-commissioned officers and men of the 9th com pany of Royal Engineers ; 35 men of the Royal En gineers ; 36 men of the Royal Artillery ; 2 officers and 142 non-commissioned officers and men of the 2d battalion Queen's Royals ; and 2 officers and 64 men of all ranks of the Ist battalion 15th Regiment. Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Royal Navy, yesterday went down to Woolwich dockyard, and inspected the ironclad screw corvette Pallas, 2,372 tons, with a view of deciding on the range and position of the increased armament now ap pointed for the ship, as well as other arrangements necessary to carry out the improved plans recently suggested. Since her return to Woolwich from her trial trip to the Nore an upper deck has been par tially constructed, and a poop and gallant forecastle commenced. The armour-plating is progressing rapidly, relays of men being employed night and day at the bending and other machinery so as to hasten her completion. When ready for sea, it is calculated that the Pallas will be one of the most efficient fighting ships afloat. Her Majesty's paddle sloops Gorgon, Firebrand. and Banshee are now in course of being broken up at Woolwich, and the Alecto, recently employed in the slave preventive service on the South Coast of Africa, has been condemned, and will be shortly taken to the breaking-up yard. Her engines have been removed, and all her fittings stripped for that purpose. The iron paddlewheel sloop Trident, from the Mediterranean station, having been surveyed by the shipwright department at Woolwich, is ordered by the Admiralty to be sold. She was purchased into the service about 10 years ago, at a cost of £23,000, and is expected to yield less than £2,000. A large number of her plates are still in excellent condition. The iron paddlewheel vessel Antelope, brought home from the South Coast of Africa last month by Second Master Alfred Thomas, who assumed the com mand on the sudden death of the commander, Lieut. Constantine O'D. Allingham, has been surveyed at Woolwich, and estimates sent in for the necessary repairs preparatory to, her being recommissioned. The paddlewheel sloop Spiteful, 6 guns, having been thoroughly repaired and refitted at Woolwich, yesterday commenced coaling, in readiness for ser vice. The pennant, it is expected, will be hoisted on board early next week. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Frederick de V. Sanders, to the Indus, as flag-lieut. to Rear-Admiral Sy monds ; Hon. Clarence Graves, midshipman, to the Octavia ; James H. Galloway, naval cadet, to the Octavia ; Hinton Maxwell, surg., to the Duncan as supernumerary ; Thomas W. Joynson, assist.-pay master, to the Fisgard as supernumerary ; Robert J. M‘Morris, assist.-surg., to the Himalaya ; Chas. F. Williams, assist.-surg., to the St. Vincent ; and John B. Johnson, second master, to the Linnet. important to justify the exercise of his power. After leaving the establishment at Trongate, he would appear to have gone to another house of the same description farther west. A considerable interval must have elapsed between the date of his leaving the one and joining the other establishment; during which we have not been able to trace his movements, because he only held the latter situation for some six months, and is said to have left the city for London shortly after quitting it towards the end of 1862. He has himself told the story of his life subsequent to that period.—Glasgow _Herald. Present Condition of the Cotton Trade. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your kindness in inserting in your paper, yester day, my letter to you as to the stock of cotton now in the Southern States of America, Induces me to again trespass upon your columns, to lay before your readers the following facts and figures bearing upon this most important question. The present position of the cotton trade is far from re assuring, considering the great uncertainty which still ex ists as to how the cotton plantations of the Southern States of America are to be easily made available, with the ex isting disorganisation of labour incident to the sudden and immediate emancipation from slavery of nine-tenths of the labourers engaged upon them. In my last annual circular, issued December 311ast (such were the then general anticipations), I estimated the pro bable imports of cotton into Great Britain in 1865, inde pendently of the American war ending, at no less a figure than 3,100,000 bales. What has taken place ? The imports of cotton into Great Britain, from Jan. 1 to Aug. 11 for this and last year, are as follows : 1865. 1864. American ... 161,373 134,694 Egyptian, &c. ... 274,797 248.097 Brazil ... 202,965 147,442 = West India, &c. 77,814 39,718 East India ... 626,061 728,125 China 1h2,939 292,623 Total ... 1,473,949 1,590,809 The quantity of cotton now at sea for Great Britain from India is 493,000 against 420,000 bales last year, and from China 12,000 piculs, against 144,000 piculs same time last year. With the ending of the American war, it is now probable we shall receive about 100,000 bales more from thence this year than last ; but from all other sources it will be impossible to receive more between now and the close of the year than we received in 1864 ; so that, presuming we receive this increased quantity of American, it would only make the total import of the year about the same as in 1864, namely, 2,587,356 bales. The probable supply from America during the next six months is at present a most important question, and in con sidering it, it will be as well to consider what the growth and consumption in the United States was before the war. The following aro the figures of the American cotton crops of 1859-60 and 1860-61, with the home consumption and export therefrom, as given in the official statements at the time : Louisiana Alabama Texas ... Florida ... Georgia ... 1859-60. 2,139,425 ... 834,012 ... 252,424 ... 192,724 ... 525,219 1860-61. 1,751,599 546,791 144,747 121,172 477,584 336,339 56,295 78,132 143,424 ~, South Carolina ... ... 510,109 North Carolina ... ... 41,194 Virginia •.• ••• •.• 56,987 Tennessee ... ... ... 108,676 Total Bales 4,669,770 3,656,086 Consumption of cotton in the United States : 1859-60. 1860-61.

Before the war, in the year 1860 to 1861, the consumption, south of Virginia, A had increased 7,861 bales compared with the former year, while the con sumption in the same period, north of Virginia, decreased 136,134 bales. During the progress of the war, the Southern people were from necessity compelled to force their manu facturing power to clothe their population, and it is well known that great quantities of spinning machinery were manufacturing in this country which ran the blockade into Southern ports, and which now being h existence, in ad dition to the previous machinery, will certainly lead to the conclusion that the yearly manufacturing power of the Southern States, at the present moment, is equal to fully 250,000 bales. This, with the present consumption in the Northern States of about 600,000 bales per annum, would require, at least, 850,000 bales per annum to meet the pre sent consumption of the United States. Thus ii must be apparent to those conversant with tho trade that the now generally recognised estimate of 1,250,000 bales (including rotten and spoilt) as the stock of cotton now in the Southern States, together with a growing crop of from 400,000 to 500,000 bales, will not permit any great or rapid shipment of cotton from America ; for as their consumption as officially announced in 1859-60 amounted to 972,043 bales, and is 1860-61 to 843,770 bales, the Ame ricans will not be able to spare any great amount, as the supply above -named will be all that will be available up to September, 1866; whilst the great demand at present existing for cotton goods in America, and the high protec tive tariff, is now daily increasing the consumption there. But how has the supply of cotton to Great Britain this year met the requirements of the trade ? Let the follow. ing figures reply 1865. 1864. Stock Ist January ... 575,727 ;25,830 Imported to 11th August ... 1,473,949 1,590,809 -- Total supply... 2,049,676 1,916,639 Taken for consumption 1,126,075 1,050,508 Actually exported ... ... 485,417 437,014 Stock August 11th 438,184 429,117 2,049,676 1,916,639 Thus, although the increase in the consumption and ex port that has taken place this year has occurred the last few months, and which indicates a present consumption in Great Britain still greater than the average of that just stated, the stock of cotton now on hand is only 9,067 bales greater than at this period in 1864 :—the increase of 123,970 bales in the consumption and export, and the de crease of 116,860 bales in the import this year compared with last, having so reduced the large stock with which we commenced this year's operations—viz., 249,897 bales more than on Jan. 1, 1864. This rapid reduction in the stocks, with the uncertainty still overhanging the future supply, is still more serious, and certainly induces one to reflect as to whether we are yet free from the cotton famine. How stands the question of cotton goods in stock at home and abroad ? The quantity of cotton yarn and goods produced, ex ported and retained for stock or home consumption for the past ten years, and also for the last six months of this year, are as follows : Goods & Yarn Goods & Yarn Goods & Yarn Produced. Export. Retained at Home. lbs. lbs. lbs. 1855.-747,486,000 ... 526,188,000 ... 221,278,000 1856.-79,703,000 660:98000 ... 232;916;000 1857,-735;65000 ... 547;80000 ... 187;85000 , 1858.-805,000,000 ... 620,741000 ... 181,250,000 1859.-869,250,000 ... 643,871,000 ... 225,379,000 1860.-983,650,000 ... 758,722,000 ... 224,928,000 1861 , -887,900,000 ... 694,886,000 ... 161,614,000 1862.-375,000,000 420,000,000 ... *45,000,000 . • 1863.-410,000,000 ... 400,000,000 ~. 10,000,000 1864.-447,000,000 ... 430,000,000 ... 17,000,000 6ms. 1865.-278,700,000 ... 230,000,000 ... 48,000,000 * Excess of export over production. These tables clearly prove that after nearly four years of half-production and exports the markets of the world must be still very bare of cotton goods ; and that if in 1863 and 1864 the world could afford to consume the cotton goods they did, at the prices then current for the raw material, what quantity will they not now consume when the price of the raw material is 30 to 50 per cent. less, as the fol lowing table shows:— Comparative prices current for cotton on the 11th August 1865, and 1864, and in November, 1863 :- 1865 1864 18G3 d. d. d.

MAURICE WILLIAMS. —I am, &c., Liverpool, August 15th, 1865. _ . P.S.—Since the above was written the New Fork Herald, of the Ist August, has come to hand, and in it their special correspondent, who has been throughout the whole Southern States, says : "We have taken considerable pains, while travelling through the States, to ascertain from the best authorities at our command the amount of cotton on hand in the South. From all we learn by conversing with planters and buyers, both during the war and since, the supply on hand will not exceed eight hundred thousand bales." This certainly is recanting thoir proviously incorrect estimate of 2,250,000 bales. - .Ti. IV, Career of the Murderer Forwood. The public interest which is felt in anything re lating to the perpetrator the Holborn and Ramsgate tragedies has induced us to make inquiries in the city, with a view to throw some light upon the career of Forwood, or Southey, as he preferred to call himself, while he resided in Glasgow. So far as we can ascertain he came to the city in 1858, and shortly afterwards became connected, as marker, with a billiard establishment, which was then situ ated in Glassford-street. For a time, at least, his behaviour does not appear to have been of such a nature as to gain for him the unpleasant attentions of those with whom he came in contact ; on the contrary, he would seem to have created rather a favourable impression by the general suavity of manner which he displayed. He is spoken of as a man about. the average height, wearing bushy whiskers, and with a gentlemanly appearance, which he endeavoured to keep up by a studious attention to dress. As his means were limited while he re mained in Glasgow, he was not successful in making it appear that his wardrobe was very liberally fur nished, but a well-brushed hat and similar little evidences of a desire to make the most of what he had were characteristic of the man's attention to externals. He was well educated, and represented that he was in the habit of reading works in the higher department of literature ; and as if to show that vanity was a ruling feature in his character, he remarked on one occasion that there was no pro per society in Glasgow for a person of his attain ments. If report speak truly his morals were not of the strictest kind ; indeed, his amours in certain quarters are said to have been well known to those who were most intimately acquainted with him. He was not communicative, so far as we can learn, re garding his previous history. Vague hints he did at times let fall about his follies or misfortunes, and the loss of money having compelled him to adopt the calling of a billiard -marker, " in order to obtain an honest livelihood," as he himself once put it, but beyond these allusions he preserved what was doubt less a judicious reticence. He was not at all fond of drink, we are assured, and this abstinence to a great extent from the use of stimulants enabled him the better to keep his own counsel. His temperance was not altogether a matter of necessity, in the sense that because of his poverty he could not get liquor, be cause he has been known to exhibit a positive aver sion to anything like indulgence. A person who knew him intimately while in Glasgow gave his opinion on this point in the emphatic form that " the man couldn't drink ;" while another, who for some months saw him almost daily, says he thought Southey (the name by which he was known in Glasgow) " too cool, and sharp a fellow ever to get drunk." He was of rather a gloomy tempera ment even'at this time, and often lamented his hard to remain a billiard-marker, fate in being compelled so that he came to be looked upon as " an unhappy sort of fellow, who always wished to be better off than he was." He pushed about in various direc tions, we are informed, to eke out a living of a kind to satisfy his genteel aspirations, and at one time had a commission upon any sales of wines which he could effect in this city on behalf of a person en gaged in the trade, attending meanwhile to his ordi nary work in the billiard-room. '.Thus he struggled on for some months, always managing to keep his head above water, but not making progress enough to satisfy a person of his ambitious longings. Towards the end of a billia r d- room i n Tron -1858 he turned up in gate, and here he remained, although latterly the business was carried on under a different pro prietor, till the month of August, 1859. He was better known by this time, and although still fol lowing out his old calling of a billiard-marker, he managed at times to do a little business at the table on his own account. Glasgow, however, was not so fruitful in wealthy antagonists as the scenes of his later adventures would . appear to have been, and his pickings do not appear to have been of a very heavy description. It is but just to say that his employers in Glasgow concur in giving him a high character while he remained in their service, and are not aware that he was in the habit of taking advantage of those who were unskilful in the game. But those who knew him best while re moved from managerial supervision speak of him as accustomed, when this could be done with safety, to lure the unwary by disguising his accomplish ment at billiards until the stake was -sufficiently MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat was very moderate. The weather being finer, millers showed no inclination to operate freely. Actors, however, are firm in their demand; and the late a dvance in prices was supported. A total clearance was not effected.. A moderate supply of foreign wheat was on offer. Most descriptions were in fair average request, and quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full durrencies. The market was scattily supplied with barley. The trade was very firm, and prices have an improved tendency. Halt moved off steadily, at full currencies. Oats were in good supply. Most qualities were in steady request, at fully late rates. Beans andpeas were very firm, at quite previous quo tations. For flour there was a fair demand, at full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

BOROUGH HOP. The accounts from the plantations are very favourable ; consequently very little business is passing--in any de scription of hops. Prices must be considered nominal. COLONIAL. TEA. Business has remained very inactive, and prices show no material change. STIGAR.—The operations have been on the most limited scale, although quotations in most instances are steady. Refined goods have been in better request, and good com mon lumps and titlers are quoted 41s to 41s 6d per cwt. Cor•FEE.—There has been a fair inquiry for colonial descriptions, and late rates have in se7eral instances been maintained for superior qualities ; inferior qualities, how ever, have been at slightly reduced rates. RICE.—The demand for cleaned descriptions has con tinued, and holders continue to demand full rates, which has somewhat checked business operations. TALLOW.—The market has continued active, and deal ings for both present and forward delivery have been en tered into to some extent. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 435., and last three months', 435. 6d. per cwt. STATE OF TRADE. - BRADFORD, Aug. 17.—There has been an:improved de mand for wool since last Thursday, and some fair sales have been made. These have been chiefly in deep-grown wools, but the improvement has in some measure extended to down sorts. The continued wet weather, interfering as it does with harvest prospects, produces a rather depressed feeling to-day, but prices are maintained with considerable firmness, and a good deal of wool is held by staplers, who will not part with it until an advance has taken place. For worsted yarnsthere are signs of more demand for shipment. Single weft yarns—especially 30s. and 405.—which have long been flat, are more inquired for, and fetch rather better prices. In manufactured goods there is no change. The Americans are the chief buyers. LEICESTER, 16th.—The hosiery trade remains in a satis factory state. Manufacturers continue well employed at the warehouses with orders on hand, and no stocks are allowed to accumulate. In the country districts business is without much change, but the trade generally is healthy. Wools are quiet, and prices remain for the most part with out material alteration. Worsted yarns are firm at high rates, spinners being fairly employed. Cotton yarns firm. The alterations in the Bank of France return are favourable. The bullion has been increased £68,000, and the notes in circulation have been re duced £780,000. The bills discounted have run off £552,000, but the advances on stock, &c., however, show an increase of £40,000. The current accounts have received an addition of £BO,OOO, while the Treasury balances have been decreased £520,000. The Anglo-Italian Bank have declared an interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for six months on the amount of paid-up capital free of Income-tax. The third series of the Colonial wool sales for the year commenced yesterday afternoon, and will be continued until the 27th proximo. The arrivals amount to £131,277 bales. There was a good attendance of both home and foreign buyers, and the prices realised were about the same as at the June sales. During the last few days there has not been much activity displayed in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugars have been in moderate re quest, and only superior qualities have maintained former rates. Coffee, in some inatances, has de clined 6d. per cwt., but there has been an active demand for rice, and enhanced rates are demanded by holders. Tallow has continued in good demand for both present and forward delivery, at steady prices. GREAT FIRE AT HACKNEY-WICK (THIS DAY). — About 2 o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the pre mises of Messrs. Spill, White-post-lane, Hackney-wick. By the time the engines reached the place the flames had go the mastery, and the most of the building was destroyed. EAST 'LONDON WORKING CLASSES INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—The dinner of the exhibitors at the above-named Exhibition took place last evening at the St. Mary's Schools, Whitechapel-road. At its origin a gua rantee fund was formed, among the subscribers to which were the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Ebury, the Chan cellor of . the Exchequer, Lords Shaft es b ury , E n fi e ld , & c. The speculation has paid its way, and left a surplus in hand. The exhibition was opened by Lord Shaftesbury K.G., on the 12th of July. It was closed last Saturday by Mr. Ayrton, M.P., who distributed 30 silver and 100 bronze medals to the successful contributors. It has been visited by some 70,000 persons, belonging for the most part to the industrial classes. There were present at the dinner Messrs. Gough, Hawker, Hollist, Standring, Myers, Proud man, Rymer, Stapleton, Pringle, Kelly, Chandler, Robin son, Apsted, Wigginton, the lion. architect, &c. Letters were read from the Marquis of Westminster and others ex pressing their regret at being unable to attend. After dinner the chairman, who has risen to his present position entirely owing to his own exertions, spoke well and to the point, proposing several toasts. The first was " The health of the Queen and Royal Family," which was received with acclamations. " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" was warmly received, and responded to by an ex-Volunteer. The chairman gave " The health of the e xhibitors," and dwelt on the great good calculated to arise out of such Exhibitions as this. The exhibitors had shown how they could help and care for themselves ; and, more than that, how they could help and care for oth ers. Their work was genuine, it was what it was re presented to be, a bona fid e East London Exhibition. H o said that the medals which had been awarded were well deserved. Mr. Curtis, who, among the exhibitors, stands highest on the list of prize -men for drawing, respon ded in an appropriate speech. M r . C o l e proposed the health of "The East London Working Classes Industrial Exhibition." 'Mr. Stanley responded on behalf of the committee, and stated that the committee had worked hard during the last five months, and that all wore equally pleased, with himself, with the result. Mr. Robinson proposed the health of "The honorary secretary,iMr. Webb," and spoke of the able manner in which he had conducted the Exhibition. He was worthy of his position, and even of a better one. He had proved himself a true working man. Wherever there was work to be done, he was there to do it. To a great ex tent the success of the Exhibition was due to him. The secretary responded in a modest, but clever speech. He hoped, if such an opportunity offered again, to be able to make himself useful. The success of the undertaking was no doubt dua to having all pulled together, and not simply to his own exertions. The "Health of the ladies," several of whom were present, was drank. Mr. Chandler, we believe of the police force, but who has a very good voice, sang three songs with much taste and effect. After a pleasant evening the party broke up at an early hour. THE SIAMESE TWINS.—The following letter appears in the. New York, Times of August 2 :-- " To the Editor of the New York Times.—Grateful for past favours at your hands, we beg again to trespass upon your kindness and liberality. Our names are not entirely un known to the American public. In former years we were received everywhere with flattering and substantial com pliments, and after several most successful tours through the cities of the United States, we retired to the privacy of ' our country home, where we had hoped to spend the re mainder of our days in the quiet enjoyment of domestic felicity, blessed as we then were with ample fortunes for ourselves and our families. But time has wrought a sad change. The ravages of civil war have swept in away our fortunes, and we are again force d to appear public. Rembering, as we do, with the profoundest gratitude, the liberality of our adopted country, we have arranged to appear on public e xhibition in the Northern cities, com mencing early in August next, accompanied by several of our children, and we shall hope to meet then thousands of our old friends of long syne. With sincere regard, we subscribe ourselves your obedient servants, CHANG and ENG, Siamese Twins, Surrey County, N.C., July 25, 1865." The Hon. Captain and Lady Maria Eitzelarence have-arrived at Farranee's Hotel from Landudno, North Wales. - . _ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, Blackbird Gem Pupil Six ran OXFORD RACES.—Tors DAY.

[The following appeared in our latest edition of last evening] : This afternoon the prisoners Ancenay and Nicholas were placed before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough -street Police court, on remand, charged with being concerned, with others not in custody, in fabricating notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr. E. Lewis defended the prisoner Nicholas. The first witness examined was Mrs. Morgan, who de posed to having washed for Ancenay during his residence at Southleigh Lodge, Datchet, and during the time seeing a man at work with some papers on a table. There were two work-rooms in the house, and Ancenay went into both of them. J. Hunt, a carpenter, living at Datchet, said he fitted up some machinery, which might have been a printing press ; he could not say it was for certain. He was certain it was not a mangle. (Laughter.) Ancenay was not at the place at the time, but he had seen him about Datchet. Mr. Radnor, of Datchet, a pawnbroker, proved receiving a photographic bath used for dipping plates in pledge, for which he advanced him 10s. Mr. Sleigh said that with the evidence already adduced (which has already appeared in The Sun) was all he had to produce that day, and on which he had asked for another remand. He, however, thought that the prisoner Nicholas should not be parted with at present. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate for Nicholas, and contended that he ought to be discharged, as the evidence adduced had not at all strengthened the case, as it appeared quite plain that the boxes left with him and found at his lodgings by the police were in fact merely for temporary custody—that he knew nothing of their contents : at all events, if the prisoner ws detained in custody, that a lesser amount of bail than £5OO would be taken. Mr. Knox said he could not think of letting Nicholas go, as the forgeries were of a most extensive nature. Ho would on this occasion take two sureties iu £lOO each, and himself in £2OO. Both prisoners were then formally remanded. Bank of England Return.---Last Evening. An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 32, for the week ending Wednesday, Aug. 16, 1865.

HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. ----- • - —Yesterday, at the Leeds Assizes, Miss Cheetham, a young lady of Lancaster, a teacher of music and sing ing, brought an action against the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, to recover damages for an injury sustained in a collision on the company's line, by which an engine and three carriages were thrown off the metals. Defendants admitted the negligence, and had paid into court £2OO as sufficient compensation. Plaintiff is the daughter of a Doncaster builder, and is 24 years of age . At the time of the accident she taught music and singing, and had a large number of pupils. She was alsc the organist at Arksey Ch urc h . O a the 17th Jan. she left Doncaster for Mexbo roug h , i nten di ng to visit a friend who resides at Adwick-le-street, and at Womersley Cliff the accident occurred. Plaintiff received a violent blow on the back of the head, was thrown forward andthen backward; striking her head against the woodwork of the carriage, and she became insensible. She had to be restored by sti mulants, and was conveyed by the next train to Mex borough, where she was observed to be so indisposed that tho station-master took her to his own house, supplied her with tea, and witha conveyance to take her on to Adwick. She passed a restless night. and had to return to Doncaster next day. A surgeon was then sent for, and by him she had been attended up to the present time. The pain from which she suffered was first in the legs, and afterwards in the back of the head, attended with numbness of the joints. She was unable to sleep at nights; her feet were cold—she was unable to walk without assistance ; was very suspectible to touches on the head and back ; was subject to fits of fainting ; her appetite was gone ; and as she was unable to sing or play she had lost all her pupils and her situation as organist. The medical evidence was to the effect that plaintiff was suffering from slight con cussion of the spinal cord, and inflammation of certain parts of the spinal column, and that a length of time must elapse before she would recover. Mr. Manisty, for the defence, called Dr. Fletcher and Mr. Teale, of Leeds, who stated that plaintiff had apparently been very much frightened and excited by the accident, that she was suf fering from nervous excitement, which had deranged the stomach, and which induced vomiting after meals; and that there was no symptom to indicate concussion of the brain or spine. Dr. Fletcher considered that plaintiff's feeble state was due to the effect of emotional excitement, which disturbed the general condition of the b od y . The pain of which she complained was the result of an exhausted state of the nervous system ; but he saw no reason to doubt her recovery within a few mouths. Mr. 'Peale came to the same conclusion, stating that there was a non-existence of spinal or cerebral concussion, and of any sprain ; and he also expressed himself confidently as to her speedy reco very. Aft e r an eloquent speech from Mr. Seymour, the jury f o und a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £l,lOO. QUEEN ANNE'S COM3IISSION.—An active move ment has been set on foot among the beneficed clergy of the diocese of Lincoln in opposition to Queen Anne's Commission, and a petition signed by upwards of 700 clergymen, beneficed under £2OO a year, will shortly be presented to the Queen, as the successor of the royal donor of the fund. The petitioners allege that an injustice is done to the incumbents of those livings which stand most in need of assistance, being wretchedly small in value, and with a poor population, by the condition which requires that every grant from the fund shall be met by a benefaction of corres ponding amount. They object to this rule being inflexibly acted upon in cases where it is known to be utterly impos sible to raise any money from private sources, those being generally the cases in which there exists the strongest claim for relief. They complain that the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty repudiate altogether extreme poverty as a ground of claim, inasmuch as in some instances they have refused to make a grant even where a benefaction has been offered because.the living has been too small.
