MONEY MARKET eN t, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues easy, but there is a little more business in progress. Th© rates are 3 , and 3i per cent for the best bills, and the pro spect is more favourable. The following remarks respecting the precious metals are from the circular of Messrs. W. C. Sillar and Co. The bullion market has not expe rienced much change during the past week, though a fair amount of business has been transacted, and prices have not altered materially. Imports— These have been about £200,000, being considerably below the average. The bulk of this is in gold from Australia, via India, per Ripon. Exports—These amount to over £ 4 48,000, being about the weekly average, and con sist principally of £248,000 per Cid, to Spain, in gold ; £107,000 per Ceylon, to India and China, 111 Silver ; and about £50,000 to France. Gold— The demand for export has continued, but has been fully supplied out of the recent arrivals. At the Bank of England £16,000 in so vereigns has been withdrawn, and on the other hand £44,000 in bars has been sent in. Silver— Operations have not been on a very extensive scale, and the market is not active ; the supply, however, Is limited, and prices are well maintained. Mexican dollars remain unchanged, and the price nominal. Exchange on India shows no alteration. The amount of Government bills to be tendered for on the 6th proximo is £250,000, of which £lOO,OOO will be drawn on Bombay. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 6 8f. 65c. Firm and animated. The English Stock Market has been very in active, and prices, although showing no important alteration, are very flat. Consols are 89i -1 for money, and 891 a for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 1 ; Exche quer Bills 35. dis. ; India 5 per Cents. 1051 ; and ditto 4 per Cents. 98 1 1 - 99. Foreign stocks have not been steadily maintained, and prices, in a few instances, have fractionally re ceded. Turkish Consolides are 48+ 8 ; Mexican, ex all, 23+ 8 ; the New Loan, 22+ I ; Greek Bonds, 2 0+ ; Spanish Passive, 291 ; Certificates are 14 I; Italian, 64 4 ; and the Confederate Loan, 6 8. The American Market is also not very firm, and prices show a heavy tendency. United States 5-20 Bonds are 68+ 69+ ; Erie Shares, 52+ 53 ; and Illinois shares, 77+ 781. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and prices have shown a firmer tone. London and Brighton have advanced 10s., South Western 55., and Midland ss. ; while Great Eastern, Great Northern A Stock, and South Eastern have declined ss. ; and Metropolitan 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue at about Previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain quiet ; but, in most instances, maintain former values. London and County are dealt in at 751 ; Oriental Bank, at 511 521 ; Standard of British South Africa, at 151 16 ; Joint Stock Discount, at 81 1; Hudson's Bay Company, at 151 ; and Royal Mail Steam, at 121.

MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and, in some instances, good and fine old samples were rather dearer than in the previous week. Spring corn of all descriptions changed hands at full quo tations. The flour trade was steady at quite previous rates. On the Continent the corn trade generally is firm, and prices have an upward tendency. A t New York, however, breadstuffs have commanded very little attention for ex port. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 28,159 quarters of wheat, 3,198 barley, 136,444 oats, 1,600 beans, 429 peas, 900 rapeseed, 658 sundry seeds, and 1,108 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the total amount of old and new English wheat was moderate. Last year's pro duce was of prime quality, and the supply of new wheat came to hand in fair condition. The trade for all qualities was decidedly quiet. Factors commenced business by demanding higher prices both for red and white qualities, but were eventually compelled to accept the rates of Mon day last in order to effect sales. At those prices a fair amount of business was transacted. Our quotations, there fore, are without material variation from those of this day se'nnight, but as regards the best old wheats they were the turn higher. The market was fairly supplied with Continental wheat, but somewhat scantily with American produce. As regards prices the trade was firm, but the demand for nearly all qualities ruled far from active. Last Monday's currency, however, was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full quotations. The supply of new home-grown barley on sale was limited; prices ranged from 30s to 35s per quarter. For foreign barley the trade was firm, at full prices. Malt fully supported precious rates. A fair business was transacted. There was a very large supply of oats on offer, and the trade, in consequence, ruled slow, but without leading to any change of importance in prices. As compared with Monday last, the quotations exhibited a decline of 6d. per quarter, chiefly in Russian produce. Beans were in short supply, and late prices were sup ported. The market was scantily supplied with peas, in which business was done at late rates. About an average business was transacted in flour, a last Monday's currency. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

To-day's market was heavily supplied with foreign stock. With the exception of a few of the sheep, there was no im provement in quality compared with Monday last. Sales progressed slowly, on rather easier terms. The supply of English beasts was again limited, and in very middling condition. Nevertheless, all breeds moved off slowly, and, in soma instances, the quotations had a drooping tendency. The best Scots, crosses, &c., sold at ss. 4d. per 81b. More than half the supply was composed of foreigners. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,200 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England 500 various breeds; from Scotland 35 Scot s and crosses; and from Ireland 250 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was on the increase, but nearly all reads were in very middling condition. Good and prime Downs, half-breds, Lincolus, Leicesters, &c., changed hands steadily, at full quotations. Otherwise the mutton trade was heavy, and the currencies ruled in favour of buyers. The top figure was 6s 8d per Sibs. The lamb season is now nearly over, but the few lambs in the pens realised 6s to 7s per 81bs. We have to report a good demand for calves at 2d per 81bs. more money. Prices ranged from 4s 4d to 5e 4d per Blbs. There was a fair demand for pigs, and prices had an upward tendency.

BOROUGH HOP. The accounts from the plantations continue favourable, and in most gardens a full average crop is anticipated. The quality of the produce also is likely to prove particu larly fine. Picking will be general on forward plantations this week. A few parcels of new produce continue on sale, the prices of which vary from £6 to £9 per cwt. In year ling and old hops there is very little change to report. There was no import into London last week. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. - —• The arrivals of home-grown potatoe.s are tolerably large. For most qualities the trade is dull, and prices have a downward tendency. There was no import into London last week. Regents 6os to 90s per ton Slaws WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool continue to be well attended by home buyers, and as regards the home trade biddings rule tolerably active. The demand for export to all quarters is very moderate. Prices for all good and fine wools rule firm, and are without change from the close of last prices ; but faulty descriptions show a slight fall in value, as compared with the same period.

The Duke of Somerset will leave his official resi dence a tWhitehall to-day for Portsmouth, accompa nied by the whole of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., Secretary, where the board will remain during the reception of the French fleet. The Channel squadron were off Portland at 10 a.m. on Friday, en route to Spithead. The Channel fleet now anchored at Spithead, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., consists of the Edgar (flagship), screw line-of-battle-ship, Hector, Defence, Black ?rince, Achilles, and Prince Consort, iron screw frigates ; Royal Sovereign, iron-cased turret-ship ; and the Salamis, paddle, wooden despatch vessel. The Edgar lies anchored in the deep water channel off the east end of Spithead anchorage, with the llector, Defence, Black Prince, Achilles, and Prince Consort anchored in the order as named N. W. of the Edgar, and each 200 fathoms apart, the Pr:nee Consort thus occupying the western position in the line. The Liverpool, Royal Sovereign, and Salamis at present lie anchored inshore of the line of Admiral Dacres' ships. The imperial squadron, on arrival in sight from Spithead on Tuesday, will be met off the east end of the Isle of Wight by the Pigmy steam tender, which will put on board each French ship a master of her Majesty's navy, who will then take charge of the navigation of the French ship, and anchor her in her appointed position inshore of the English squadron. The recent trials of the machinery of the frigates Octavia, Constance, and Liverpool proved to be very interesting. The trials, so far as the three ships named are concerned, may be considered as com plete, but the Arethusa has yet to make her trial to finish the series. The iron screw steamship Agincourt, built at Birkenhead, which arrived on Saturday, the 19th, at Plymouth, was placed in the Prince's Dock, De vonport, on Wednesday. It is understood that she was docked at the earliest possible moment because the naval authorities wished to be relieved from the responsibility of securing her in Hamoaze during the present uncertain state of the weather. In the dock there is only a distance of two feet between her bilge pieces and the steps. Prior to being launched, or rather floated, out of dock at Birken_ head, on the 27th of March last, her bottom received three coats of red lead and one coat of protecting Tarnish. She was then placed alongside the jetty, by rubbing against which a portion of her bottom is chafed and rusted. The whole is now to be cleaned and be paid over with Hay's protective and anti fouling composition. His Prussian Majesty's screw steam corvette Nymph, Capt. Henk, and gunboat Delphin, Capt. Kuhn, which have been some days in Plymouth, left the Sound on Saturday morning for the Mediterra nean. They will go probably to Malta and Constan- tinople. With the exception of a few of the stern plates and those to be worked under the counter and at the stem of the frigate, the whole of the armour plates which encase the sides of the iron frigate Bel lerophon from stem to stern, have been fixed in their place, and by the close of the present week the ope ration of plating that frigate will be completed, when upwards of 1,000 tons of armour plating will have been worked to the frigate's sides in the short space of less than eight months, the first armour plate having been bolted to the side of the Bellerophon on the 29th of December last. The rate of progress with which the Bel lerophon has been constructed at Chatham dockyard is altogether without a parallel in iron shipbuilding, an average of between 50 and 60 tons of materials having been worked into the frigate weekly since her commencement in April, 1864, and that, too, with out any undue strain on the establishment an iron cased frigate, the Lord Warden, of larger dimen sions, being at the same time under construction at the same dockyard. The principal work now remain ing to be effected in the Bellerophan relates ckiefly to fittings inboard, and on these nearly 1,000 me chanics and other hands are employed daily until long after dark each evening, in order that not an hour's delay may arise in her completion beyond the date fixed by the Admiralty. The machinery and engines have been fitted by Messrs. Penn and Sons, and everything is ready for steam to be got up in the boilers directly the vessel goes out of dock. The steel plates on her weather fighting deck have been laid, and the covering of ordinary deck-planking fixed. On the main gun deck the deck-plating is finished, and the planking laid. The work of com pleting the large reconnoitring tower on the upper deck of the Bellerophon is now being hurried for ward, and on Saturday the timbers to which the armour-plates will be bolted were fixed in their place. The 8-inch armour plates which will inclose thefore and aft sides of the tower have arrived at the dock yard from the works of Messrs. Cammell and Co., and have undergone the bending process by the hydraulic rams in the dockyards in readiness for fix ing in their place during the present week. The work of rigging the Bellerophon has not yet been taken in hand. According to orders issued at the dockyard on Saturday, the Bellerophon is to be ready to be put out of dock on September 18, immediately after which she will make her first official trial of speed at the measured mile, Maplin Sands. The draughts selected from thevarious regimental depots at Chatham for the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment, including the 4th (King's own), 15th, 20th, and 35th Regiments, left that garrison this morning for Portsmouth, where they will em bark on board her Majesty's iron screw troopship Himalaya, 3,453 tons, 700-horse power, Captain B. Lethbridge, for conveyance to Quebec, to join service companies of that regiment. The division at Aldershott under the command of Lieut.-General Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., had a field-day on Thursday. The troops were formed up to Claycart-hill, at 10 o'clock, the infantry furnished with ten rounds of blank ammunition per man. The usual march past was dispensed with, and immediately on the arrival of the Lieut.-General commanding the troops were put in motion. They moved off to Eelmoor, where dispositions were made to meet an enemy advancing from the south-west. The 3d and Bth Hussars advanced in line, covered by skirmishers of the 14th Hussars, while the in- fantry ranged itself in order of battle. The 3d brigade, under Major-General Lord Henry Percy, V.C., formed the front line, in rear of the cavalry, the Ist, or General Russell's brigade, formed the second line, and the 2d brigade, under Brigadier- General Adams, C. 8., formed the reserve. B and F batteries, 9th Brigade Royal Artillery, were posted on the flank of the Ist Brigade. While this forma tion was in progress skirmishing had been actively going on. The enemy soon showed iu force, and made a feint to attack the right of the division. This caused a change of position, but as soon as the enemy's intention was discovered the original order was resumed. The enemy, in overwhelming num bers, came pouring down from Bricksbury-hill, upon which the cavalry recalled skirmishers, and retired steadily by alternate squadrons, reforming as they retired until the infantry were in good position, when they opened out from the centre, retired by troops from both flanks, and uncovered the front of the infantry, which opened a galling fire, assisted by the artillery. The 2d brigade then passed through the - - - centre of the let and took up the fire, which was de- livered with such effect that the enemy thought it advisable to send an avalanche of cavalry to make a diversion in his favour. To check his threatened onslaught the 3d and Bth Hussars advanced in line, and executed a brilliant charge, while the infantry formed square, in echelon, and, together with the artillery, threw in a withering cross fire. The Bth and 14th Hussars dashed through the squares from the right and left flanks, charged in front of the infantry, met in the centre, and retired in good order. The 3d Hussars executed a similar move ment. The 3d brigade then advanced in line, and opened a well sustained file fire, before which the enemy slowly retired to Claycart-hill, where he made a final show of resistance. The division _ . changed position to meet him, and another tremen dous fire was poured in. This completed his over throw, and the troops returned to quarters. The weather was remarkably fine, the ground in excel lent order, and owing to the march past being dis- POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT IN ZIIE ALHAMBRA—DAMAGING A VALUABLE SHAWL.—Elizabeth Leach, a well-dressed female, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with assaulting Thomas Robert Richards, a clerk, of No. 20, Salisbury street. Mr. Maynard, from the office of Mr. Beard, attended for the defendant. The complainant said that on Saturday evening he was at the Alhambra. Palace, Leicester-square, and accidentally upset some beer over the defendant's shawl. lie was after wards about to drink from a glass, and the defendant struck the glass and smashed it in his face. Ho afterwards gave her in charge. _ In answer to the magistrate, the complainant said he was not sure whether he apologised or not. The defendant said the complainant never apologised at all. She certainly struck the glass because the complain ant had spoilt her shawl and dress. The shawl was of the value of 15 guineas, and her dress as well. If the defen dant had apologised she would have deemed it sufficient, but the complainant and his friends were skylarking, and laughed at her after the beer was upset. The magistrate said the defendant admitted that if he did apologise it was not till after he had drunk something, and that was certainly very provoking. The defendant said she wished compensation for her shawl, the damage done to it being at least a guinea. The complainant called Mr. Alfred Gray, of 34, St. James's-street, and another witness, and after hearing them the magistrate said he considered the complainant had given the defendant great provocation. The complainant ought to have apologised at once. He would give the par ties an opportunity of coining to an arrangement. The complainant not being willing to compensate the defendant for the damage done to her shawl, the magistrate fined the defendant ss. for the assault, and ordered the complainant to pay her a guinea compensation for the shawl. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A WlPE.—Elizabeth Hayes was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with violently as saulting her husband, Edward Hayes, at No. 17, Princes row, Newport-market. Sergeant Allen, C division, said that about three o'clock on Sunday morning ho was called to 17, Princes-row, Newport-market, where he found at the door the husband of the prisoner. He was bleeding a great deal from a wound in the face, which he said had been inflicted by his wife with a plate. He took the husband to the Charing cross Hospital, where he still remained. The sergeant handed the magistrate a certificate from the Charing-cross Hospital, signed by the house-surgeon, to the effect that Edward Hayes was suffering from a severe wound in the cheek. The magistrate asked the sergeant what the prisoner said when she was taken into custody. The sergeant said she admitted striking her husband, but said he had first thrown a glass at her. The prisoner said that was the case. The sergeant said the husband would not appear against his wife. The magistrate asked whether the parties were old cus tomers at the court ? Barns, the gaoler, said they had frequently been at the court charging each other with assaults. The magistrate asked the prisoner why she did not leave her husband if they could not agree? The prisoner said her husband would not part from her. The magistrate said that even if that was the case it was no reason why she should try to kill her husband. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A DESPERATE AFFAIR..—James Jeffries, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assault ing John Shepherd' T ahi h tos e t,hers, ahna prisoner an d is a continually intemperate quarrelling man, vtt irregular his neighbours in hi s and found his wif e quarrelling with another woman, a came home on S atur d ay even i ng i ntox i cated, lodger in the same house. The prisoner took part in the quarrel, which the two women, equally armed, could have well settled with their tongues. The prisoner obtained a poker, and, flourishing it, swore ho would kill his wife's adversary, and made a blow at her. The woman overcome with terror threw her child out of the window into the street, and followed after her. Both were injured. The prisoner then made an attack on other females, whose screams brought a man named John Shepherd, a very re spectable mechanic, to the place. He broke open the door and attempted to seize the prisoner, who made a blow at him with the poker and cut his head open. The prisoner ran away with the poker in his hand, and made an attempt to strike others. He was overpowered by five or six men, in Glaucus-street, Bromley, and secured. The prisoner said he had a little drop of drink, and that his wife had received a great many bruises. She was called into the witness-box and exhibited contusions and bruises on her arms, face, and neck. Mr. Paget said the prisoner might think himself lucky that he was not in custody on a more serious charge. The complainant, Shepherd, did what was quite right. It was the duty of every one who saw violence committed to in terfere. Tho prisoner was a cowardly ruffian, and he should sentence him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. DASTARDLY ASSAULT 011 A POLICE - CONSTABLE.—Goorge Moore, a sailor, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting George - Hart, a police-constable, No. 154 K. The complainant said he saw the prisoner lying on the foot path in Anthony-street, St. George-in-the-East, last night, and on ascertaining he was very drunk he raised him from the ground and put him on his feet. The pri soner immediately kicked him on the groin and took his breath away. Ho still felt the effects of the blow. The prisoner said he had no recollection of what had happened. Mr. Paget—You might have injured the police-constable for life. You are a savage and dastardly follow. I have long resolved on what I ought to do in cases of this nature —to punish such outrages with all the severity the law a ll ow s. I will give effect to the law. I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. ' From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week have generally been satisfac tory.

THE HAMMER OF THOR—THE BESOM OF DE STRUCTION.—Under the title of " The Sign of Five Centuries," the last number of All the Year Round contains an article from which we learn that the Tabard, or Talbot, Inn, at Southwark, celebrated as the scene of the Intro duction to Chaucer's " Canterbury Tales," is to be pulled down in about two years, at the expiration of the existing lease, in order that a pile of warehouses" may be built on the site. This is sad news for all lovers of early Eng lish literature—indeed for all who love to preserve our few remaining relics of old times and half-forgotten man ners. The writer asks—" Will the literary men and the antiquarians of England suffer such a l oss w i thout at i least making an effort to avert t ? There is time enough for the attempt, and time in itself is a great auxiliary. We have saved Shakespeare's house at Stratford ; let us do our best to save Chaucer's house at Southwark. Unquestion ably, it will be a disgrace to the country if the old Tabard is destroyed without some more urgent necessity than the building of a pile of warehouses." According to the same article, the White Hart, close to the Tabard—a house mentioned in Shakspeare's " Henry V 1.," and famous as the scene of the first introduction of Sam Weller to Mr. Pick wick—has been demolished within the last few weeks. We have recently lost many of these curious old build ings ; and we can hardly afford to part with the most in teresting of all.—London Lord and Lady Londesborough have entertained a large party at Grimston Park, their seat, near Tadcaster, during the race meeting at York.

An inquest has been held at Aldershott before Mr. Spencer Clarke, tho Coronef for North Hants, on the body of Private John Williamson, of the 92d Gordon Highlanders. It aKneared that a few even ing ago two men who occupied the same quarters with the deceased retired torest, and left him sitting up in the hut with a candle burning. They were shortly awakened by a loud report, and on jumping out of bed, they saw Williamson lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood. From the position of the unhappy man it seemed that he had sat on the end of his bed, placed the muzzle of his loaded rifle to his mouth, pulled the trigger with his left foot, and discharged the contents through his brains, causing immediate death. The deceased was 26 years of age, and about a year ago, when confined for an offence, made his escape from the guard-room by jumping over the rock at Edinburgh Castle ; since which, according to the concurrent testimony of several witnesses, he had exhibited frequent mental aberration. The jury were for some time divided in opinion, but ultimately an open ver dict was returned by 12, to the effect that the deceased shot himself ; but, from the evidence adduced, they were unable to say what state o mind he was in at the time of committing the act By the death of Major-Gen.

Thornhill, Esq., and Capt. J. W. Maiden, com missioners appointed under section 100 of Act 1 of 1859, under the order of Government, dated May 17, 1865, No. 104. To the Hon. A. J. Arbuthnot, Chief Secretary to Govern ment, Fort St. George. Sir,—We have the honour to submit our report on :he investigation into the circumstances connected with he stranding and loss of the ship Angela Burdett Coutts, held by us at Masulipatam, as directed in the order of Government, No. 104, dated May 17, 1865. On the re ceipt of your telegram, dated 17th ult., directing an inves tigation to be held, notice was at once sent to the captain, officers, and such of the men as remained, directing them to hold themselves in readiness to attend when the specific instructions of Government should be received. The order of Government, embodying the opinion of the Advocate- General, was received on the 22d ult., and summonses were issued for the attendance of the captain, first officer, and seven witnesses before the commissioners on the 23d tilt. At the same time copies of Captain Maiden's letter to the Superintendent of Marine, and the latter officer's report to Govesnment recommending an investigation, were fur nished to the captain and chief officer. On the day named Captain Candlish and Mr. R. Williams being present, statements were taken on oath from the seven witnesses named in the margin (Job Evans, Thomas Lloyd, William Robinson, Hugo Banholf, C. W. Blackman, W. J. Heb den, and W. Taylor.) Their statements, except in a few minor points, corroborated one another, and are in accord ance with the entries in the ship's log, and from them the facts which preceded the wreck appear to have been as fol lows :—On the 22d April, by observation at noon, the ship was Lund to be in lat. 15 31 N., the longitude by account being 81 56 E. Her head was put towards the shore, and land was sighted about sunset. She stood to the eastward from 5 p.m. to 6 30 p.m., at which hour they tacked and stood in-shore during the remainder of the night, and the deep-sea lead was hove every hour by order of the Cap tain. No bottom was found with 40 fathoms out until a a little before 4 o'clock in the morning of the 23d. This happened during the watch of the second mate, and the lfght on Point Divi was then clearly visible from the deck. The chief officer had been on watch from 8 till 12 on the night of the 23d, when ho was relieved by the second officer. He was called again at 4 a.m. of the 2dd, and took charge of the watch. The captain had been on deck all night, as well as the whole of the preceding day. On the chief officer assuming charge of the watch at 4 a.m., the ship was steering west, with the light on Point Divi bearing W.N.W, or thereabouts. The course was twice altered by the Captain between 4 o'clock and the striking of the ship, first to W. by N., and then 'to W.N.W. ; but although soundings had been obtained a little before 4 o'clock with the deep-sea lead in 18 fathoms, and the ship had been steering straight on shore at a rate of about four or five knots, no orders had been given by either captain or first officer to heave the lead again, and the consequence was that the vessel ran on shore with the lighthouse in sight, with a leading wind, and in perfectly fine weather. The sailing directions for the port are quite distinct and simple, and it is perfectly clear that the omis sion to use the lead regularly after soundings had been struck led to the stranding and loss of the ship. The next point to consider, then, is, by whose negligence was this omission caused. Captain Candlish, an old and experi enced officer, who had commanded vessels for upwards of 40 years, had clearly been on the alert all night. He had been aloft more than once during the night, and yet, when he found the vessel nearing the land, in the most un accountable manner he failed to order soundings to be taken. It appears from Capt. Candlish's statement that he expected the chief officer to undertake that duty ; but how e'ver much we may blame the chief officer for his negli gence, it is impossible to deny that the captain was equally culpable for omitting to see that the ordinary precautions on which the safety of a ship depend were observed. We see no reason whatever to suspect that the act was wilful, And can only account for the omission on the supposition that the captain was worn out by fatigue, and, having fallen asleep once or twice during the morning, was un conscious how near to the shore his ship really was. With regard to the share of blame attaching to the chief officer, it would appear that he had been at variance with the commander throughout the voyage. It was not within the scope of our inquiry to investigate the causes which led to such a state of affairs ; but the result appears to have been that the chief officer took no interest whatever in his duties, and contented himself with simply obeying such orders as were given him. In his statement he shows that he had been unable to provide himself with a chart of the coast, and had no access to the captain's charts. He acknowledged that he was informed by the second mate, when he came on deck that soundings had been found in 18 fathoms, but stated that, as the captain was on deck, he considered it was not his duty to order a man into the chains,oreven to suggest such a step to the captain. Ire said he observed that the ship was running rapidly in for the shore, but that he believed the captain knew where he was going, and he thought it was probable s ome shoal lay off the shore, and that the captain was standing on in order to get into a be tween the land and the shoal. It is quite evident that the position which would e nable him to run up chief officer was fully aware there should have been a hand in the chains, and, as officer of the watch, we cannot for a moment doubt that it was his duty to point out the want to the captain, and take his instructions on the sub ject. We can only conclude that he allowed his feelings of animosity so far to get the better of him as to blind him to a sense of his duty. When the ship struck, the captain evidently acted to the best of his judgment in his endea vours to get her off again. As will be seen, however, by the accompanying memorandum by the nautical member of the commission, it is doubtful if those measures were the best that could have been adopted ; still, we are of opinion that the errors, if any, were simply errors of judgment, and we impute no negligence at this stage. We also believe that everything was done that could be done to preserve the ship's stores. These were all brought on deck, and kept in readiness to take advantage of any boats that might be sent to the assistance of the ship. The captain, officers, and crew all remained by the vessel as long as it was safe for them to do so. On the morning of the 25th April they found the ship rapidly settling into the quicksand, and as no good could possibly be attained by remaining longer on board, they took to their boats and came to Masulipatam. During the investigation insinuations were thrown out by some witnesses that the ship had been wilfully lost by the chief officer, and that officer in his own statement did not 'hesitate to make similar insinuations against the captain. We see no cause whatever to credit either the one or the other. We have, however, been much struck with the evil effects which have arisen from want of har mony between the captain and his chief officer. There can be no doubt that had even ordinary good feeling existed between these two officers, the ship would have - reached her port in safety. Taking all these circ conclusions tanc e into consideration,ban that tb e s h w i p e had cou b d ee c n om lo e st by ton no the the r ne glect and default of the captain and chief accordingly ordered that the certificatesf months. Sen ooffifceblahn d these we six officers be sus p e nded for a period .? tence to this effect was pronounced in open court, and in the presence of most of the crew, on Saturday, the 27th of May. In passing what may appear a light sentence, we were influenced by the age and long service as comman der of a vessel, of Captain Candlish, as abov3 stated. This officer has been in command of different vessels for a period of 43 years.

METROPOLITAN CLUBS PAIR-OARED RACE. Emanating from the proposed amalgamation of all the metropolitan rowing clubs which Was attempted, but so signally failed, last winter, the first pair -oared race, open to all clubs, was rowed on Saturday—the two trial heats from Putney to Hammersmith, and the final vice versa. Mr. H H. Playford, of the London Rowing Club, and Mr. F. W.Bryant, of the West London Rowing Club, were joint umpires, on board the Citizen L (Hawkins). FIRST HEAT. Messrs. R. Willis and R. Graham, London Club 1 Messrs. T. Radmall and J. Catty, Thames Club 2 Messrs. J. K. Smith and W. Woodrow, Nth. Lond. Club 0 Messrs. L. A. Mouflet and C. Mouflet, Thames Club m ° N u (); t h s Londonlast. N l e e a r d f t o h r ea pierf w strokes, London Lon, dre w d o u n p n e a x n t and t he passe d North London, and tho Mouflets, with a good station, came in contact with North London, going ahead of them second, the other Thames pair also collaring North London, who were in no sort of form. Near Simmonds's the Mouflets, half way over the London, ran into a yacht at anchor, and capsized; this enabled London to get away, and, the others rowing well to the Point, North London were beaten. London held a good lead right home, winning by ten lengths ; North London four lengths astern of Thames. SECOND EAT . 11. Messrs. K. Stinton and F. Fenner, London Club 1 Messrs. G. T. Bowyer and C. Patterson, Twickenham Club • 2 Messrs. a Fisher and B. P. Seare, Ariel Club Messrs. A. Mares and G. D. Lister, West London Club 0 They were started very unfairly, a barge being on top of the West London pair as they got away. This left them three lengths astern ; Twickenham, athough in the worst water, obtained a fine lead ; Ariel and London together. The West London pair soon recovered, and rowing fast • but without style, collared the Londoners and Ariels, Twickenham leading, and they rowed a fine race to Situ monds's ; hero London, endeavouring to avoid a foul with the Ariels, came into collision with West London, and by this became third ; West London last. The Londoners soon got clear and cut down the Ariels, and when level with Twickenham they ran into a boat, Fenner being thrown on his back ; the West London came over their stern, crossed, and came out third, but when off again the London pair put it on, disposed of West London and Ariel at the Point and Dung Wharf, and, catching Twickenham at the Crab Tree, went to the front. The Ariels now steered badly, but came up over the Twickenham stern; the latter, however, by good watermanship, washed them right home, and came in second by two lengths to London; Ariel third, a length astern of Twickenham; and West London last. No foul allowed, but claimed by West London. The row ing in the first three boats was good, but that of the Aridl pair deserves great commendation. FINAL HEAT. Stinton and Fennor, London 1 Willis and Graham, London Bowyer and Patterson, Twickenham Badman and Catty, Thames They started from IT am mersmith-bridge ; Thames with the worst station, and Willis and Graham the best. Soon after the start, in which Twickenham was fastest, they fouled Thames, and the two London pairs had the issue e left to them as early as the 'Soapworks, Twi c k en h am and Thames keeping up a second egeandent.ntiu v g bad i fine nto r t a h c e e h a e s e t et rlte n v a . At drew r the w C ra b Tree the pace in Willis's boat w as ma i n t a i ned as fast lhieyre soon Willis after, led however, only a quarter starting, a s m a dr t tuearlloy f htois the b u tFenner length. unss s Wharf, ho was passed by Fenner and washed ; but, crossing his stern at the Point, Willis came up inside. At the London boathouse half a clear length separated them, and Fenner, steering badly, allowed Willis to be only half a length to the bad at Simmonds's. As they drew up foot by foot the excitement was intense, and the shouts from all sides deafening. By a series of fine spurts from the Duke's Head to the Star and Garter, Willis and Graham drew up level, and before they had cleared the end of the pier they led by three feet. Odds were laid on them as. Stinton faltered; but when a quarter of a length ahead, 20 yards from the aqueduct, cruel fate caused Willis to run foul of a barge and then some boats, and their confreres were only by this accident enabled to win. Twickenham was nearly second, but fouled the same barge, and the plucky Thames pair were a bad fourth, having been fouled by boats near the Point and thrown out of the race. ...., 20i 10 100 / 100 100 all 100 `I all too 100 {lOO 2 100 100 toil i 103 f I 143 12i 12 MA: lay.
