ONEY - MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. A full average amount of business has been transacted to-day in the general Discount Market, and owing to a slight increase in the number of i nquiries the rates have exhibited more firmness, though no quotable alteration has taken place. A further influx of £26,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The directors of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per Douro, the following report, dated Morro Velho, 29th July, 1865 :---Produce, second division of July, 11 days, 10 ,900 oitavas ; yield, 5,888 oitavas per ton ; re mittance, 73,464 oitavas, equal to 7051 lbs. troy. In the weekly return of the Bank of France there a ppears a decrease of £58,850 in the bullion. The c ommercial bills discounted have received an addi tion of £1,837,048. A call of £5 per share has been made by the directors of the Alliance Bank on the issue effected In 1864, and numbered 30,001 and upwards. It has been announced that Mr. M. G. Alberti, °l.,the firm of Oppenheim, Alberti, and Co., has jeined the council of direction of the Imperial Otto 'nan Bank at Constantinople. Two o'CLocK.

CAPTURE OP A SMASHER.—Edward Cannon was placed at the bar, charged with passing a large quantity of coun terfeit coin in his possession. From the evidence of Mr. Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, the prisoner was taken into custody last night in Southampton-buildings, Holborn, and on his person were found 34 shillings, seven florins, seven half- crowns, and five crowns, all counterfeit. He struggled violently when taken into custody. Prisoner is a native of St. Luke's, a locality famous for the number of coiners residing there. He was at the last session of the Central Criminal Court acquitted of a similar charge. He was remanded. ROBBERY AT MESSRS. MAPLE'S.—James Harris, French polisher,. was charged with stealing a quantity of table cloths and other woollen goods, the property of Messrs. Maple, of Tottenham-court-road, and Samuel Tyrell, a labourer, residing in the neighbourhood of the Hampstead road, was charged with receiving a portion of the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The evidence went to show that the property was kept in a loft in the workhouse, and that the prisoner, who was in the employ of the firm, used to visit the loft with the view of removing furniture therefrom for polishing, but in reality he used to secret a quantity of the woollen goods about his person and convey portions of them to the pri soner (Tyrell's) house. A large quantity of duplicates for property belonging to Messrs. Maple was also found, but the person pledging the same was a female. The prisoners were taken into custody by. police-constable 80 E. The loss of Messrs. Maple for depredations during the last twelve months was stated to be over £l,OOO. Both prisoners were formally committed for trial, but they were remanded for the purpose of ascertaining whe ther the female pledging the property could be secured. The Alleged Murder of a German• INQUEST THIS DAY This morning Mr. John Humphreys, the East Middle sex coroner, held his inquisition at the London Hospital on the body of Joseph Kitchen, the unfortunate man who lost his life under the circumstances detailed in our co lumns on Thursday. Leonard tKitchen, the deceased's son, was the first witness called, but his evidence was similar to that given at the magistrate's examination of the accused. He said Jacob Brenner worked for his father. On the Sunday evening when the unfortunate occurrence took place he was asleep, but he was awoke by his father calling out for assistance as Brenner was assaulting him. Brenner went away, but when a short time afterwards his father went into the street Brenner stabbed him in the abdomen. His father never had a serious quarrel with Brenner, and he could not tell what led to the dispute on Sunday. Both deceased and the accused were sober. His father was in the first quarrel wounded in the arm, and he believed the same knife produced the injuries which caused his death. After a short deliberation, the jury found a verdict of manslaughter against Jacob Brenner. Melancholy Suicide of a Master Butcher. CORONER'S INQUEST.--(THIS DAY.) At eleven o'clock in the forenoon Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, opened an inquest in the Board-room of Camberwell Workhouse, on the body of Mr. John Godfrey, aged 64, a master butcher, of Brixton, who was found drowned in the Grand Surrey Canal, under the following circumstances : Police-constable William Baylis, No. 326, of the P divi sion, said that at a quarter to five o'clock on Thursday morning last he was on duty near the waters of the Grand Surrey Canal, when his attention was called to the deceased in the water. With assistance he got the body ashore, and it was removed to the dead-house of the parish. He searched the body, but found no marks of violence upon it, and only a calico handkerchief in his pockets. There was no money found on his person. Mr. James Jarmyn, of Roslyn-cottages, Denmark-street, Camberwell, said that he knew the deceased, and last saw him alive on Monday evening at his own house. He was there with him for at least an hour. He was related to him by marriage on his wife's side. On Monday night he was excited, and witness thought he had been drinking more freely than he usually did. He was more communicative to him than others, and he complained of his feet and the rushing of blood to his, head. He was a man of full habit of body, and he took salt and water in order to purify his body, and he expressed a fear that he might be attacked with a fit and die suddenly. He carried on business up to the time of his death. He had diligently searched his lodgings, but he found no writing likely to throw the least light as to how he got into the water. He had frequently complained that he ought to have been better off. He alluded to the money he had spent himself, and also what he had through friends. He had no necessity for being near the canal. Two daughters lived with him on good terms. Witness had no doubt whatever that he had destroyed his own life. Up to 10 years ago he had been in the habit of drinking to such an extent that he was seized with a fit of madness, and he left his home and pro ceeded to Norfolk, wandering away through drinking. He gave up entirely drinking until two years ago, when he became ill, and the doctor ordered him to take sherry and water, which he did, and since then had been drinking ex cessively. He attributed the act to his drinking so greatly. Miss Jane Godfrey, one of the daughters, said that she last saw her father alive on Wednesday night last. He had been drinking freely that day, and several days previous. Witness, her sister, and the male and female servant, re tired to rest, but finding that ho was not, as she supposed, up, thought that he was still sleeping ; but about half-past seven o'clock the female servant came to her and told her that his bed was vacant. She went to his room, and found that hehad left the house surreptitiously during some time of the night, and the next she heard of him was that he had been found in the Grand Surrey Canal. By the Coroner--She felt satisfied that he had destroyed his own life. He frequently had a vacant look, and he trembled very much, and she feared that he would die in a fit. She had frequently spoken to her sister upon the subject of his excessive drinking. She accounted for his going away 10 years ago from the fact that he was suffer ing from the effects of drink, and he did not know where he was wandering to. She thought at times that his mind was lost. The learned Coroner summed up, and the jury, after con sulting, returned a verdict " That the deceased destroyed his own life, whilst in an unsound state of mind through excessive drinking of ardent spirits." The proceedings then terminated. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS, Probate of the will of the Right Rev.

The residue of his property he leaves to his son-in-law and grandchildren.—lllustrated London News. WESTMINSTER. MURDEROUS ASSAULT AND DAMAGE EY IRlSH.—Johanna Gollagher, a decent-looking young woman, was charged with breaking a window sash and other property belong ing to Mr. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan, of Union-place, Chelsea, said that on Friday afternoon, at four o'clock, she returned home and met prisoner, her sister, and another woman, who was bound over to keep the peace towards her. Prisoner came into her garden, using most horrible language, and, pick ing up some enormous stones, as large nearly as her head, threw them at her. They broke in the panel of the door, smashed the window sashes in, broke several glasses, a picture, and other property. One of the stones struck her daughter on the head, and likewise her child. She never gave her any provocation at all. Prisoner elicited nothing in cross-examination from this or the other witnesses. Mary Luby, 9, Bolton-gardens, said she saw prisoner and her sister throwing these stones at the window, and using most violent threats. Witness interfered, and pri soner and her sister struck her repeatedly in the face, causing her to bleed very much. Mary Sullivan, daughter of the first witness, corrobo rated her mother, and stated that she had to get over seve ral walls to get to the, police-station, and avoid being assaulted. Ann Gollagher, a distant relation of prisoner, daughter of Mrs. Sullivan, proved the damage done, and further stated that prisoner threw a pail of water through the win dow. She threw a stone, which struck her on the head, as well as her child. Prisoner said, if they came out of the house, she would murder them all. When witness was coming to the court this morning prisoner met her, called her fearful names, and said, if she came and gave evidence against her, she would cut her eye out. Her sister said she would kill her if she came, and she really was afraid to move out of the place. Prisoner said she was called fearful names first, and other persons besides her joined in the assault. Mr. Selfe said he should have the prisoner's sister before him. If the prisoner could not produce evidence to alter his present opinion before the van went away, she would go for 14 days' hard labour, and he should order her to find good and substantial bail. THAMES. SINGULAR AND ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A YOUNG WOMAN.—Jeremiah Sullivan, an Irish labourer, and Caro line Sullivan, his wife, a dirty and dissipated couple, who have given much trouble to the police on many occasions, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Leary, a young Englishwoman, who is very respectably connected. The face of the complainant was one mass of bruises and contusions, and her eyes were blackened and swollen. Her husband is a seaman, and is now prosecuting a voyage at sea. She obtains a living as a sempstress, and inhabits a front room in the house, No. 68, Spencer-street, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoners with whom she could not and did not associate were living in the back room adjoining. On Wednesday night last they came home intoxicated and made a disturbance. They quarrelled with the landlady, and used somo very bad language respecting Mrs. Leary, who went into the kitchen, laid her hand on Mrs. Sullivan's arm, and said to her, " Now, my good wo man, don't make a noise, and go to bed." This gentle ex postulation aroused the fury of Mrs. Sullivan, who scratched Mrs. Leary's face and bit her on the arm, inflicting a severe wound. Mrs. Leary sought refuge in her own room and barricaded her door with chairs and tables. For three quarters of an hour was Mrs. Sullivan endeavouring to effect an entrance. She was armed with a pair of tongs, and knocked with great force at the door. Her husband called out, " Give it to her, Carry ; knock the door in.' , Mrs. Sullivan at last got tired out and went to bed, leav ing Mrs. Leary in a state of terror. The complainant sought no redress for this outrage. Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, the prisoner again came home intoxicated, and quarrelled with every one in the house. Mrs. Sullivan knocked at the complainant's door, and with fearful oaths and threats ordered her to come out. Mrs. Leary begged her to retire to her own house. The male prisoner, who acted like a raving madman, called out "Burst open the door, Carry ; give it her." The door was forced, the pri soners entered Mrs. Leary's, and a most furious and savage attack was made upon her without the semblance of pro vocation. The male prisoner hit the complainant with his fist, and then took a large key off the complainant's wash hand stand, and beat her with it- over the head, face, and eyes. Mrs. Leary was bleeding very much, and went to the front window and called out "Minder!" Mr. Passmore, a respectable master hatter, No. 63, Sutton-street, opposite Spencer-street, and others, attempted to enter at the window and failed. Mr. Passmore then handed a poker to Mrs. Leary, and said "defend yourself." Mrs. Sul livan, who had her hand in Mrs. Leary's hair, and was beating her, took the poker away and handed it to her hus band, who struck Mrs. Leary with it, and stunned. her. The prisoners then left the room. They were soon afterwards captured by the police. Several witnesses, including Mr. Passmore, confirmed the statement of the complainant. Mr.Paget said the prisoners had committed a most savage, brutal, and unprovoked attack on the complainant, and but for the prompt and lucky assistance of neighbours she would have been murdered. A furious and deliberate attack was made on a young woman because she was quiet and inoffensive. He convicted the prisoners of an aggravated assault, and sentenced them each to four months' imprison ment and hard labour, and afterwards to find good bail to keep the peace for four months longer.

Trade of Russia• Some interesting particulars have just been pub lished respecting the trade of Russia with Europe in 1864. According to these data exports in that year exceeded those in 1863 by over 30 millions, amounting to 171 against 140:- Of these 164 mil lions were sent to Europe, and 6 millions to Finland. The exports of grain (54 millions) showed an in crease of 10 millions ; wool (19 millions) exceeded the previous year by 4 millions ; and linseed by 6 millions (18 against 11). The exports of flax and tallow on the other hand each diminished by 700,000 roubles, the former in 1854 being 15 millions, the latter 9 millions. The chief remaining articles of export were hemp and wood (5 millions each), bristles, tow (2 millions each), cattle, potashes, various unworked metals, hempen thread, oil seeds, rope, butter, and undressed leather (1 million each) ; hemp and flax fabrics, raw silk, linseed and hempseed oil, furs, gallnuts, fish, oil, horses, rags, candles, and caviare (half a million each). In the total exports raw produce is represented by upwards of 154 millions, and from 15 to 20 millions only re main for manufactured goods. In 1863 the export of bullion amounted to 59 millions, in 1864 to 21 millions. It will be remembered that in 1863 the Bank of Russia exchanged its notes for coin up to sth November. The Imports in 1864 showed an increase of millions over the previous year, amounting altogether to 144 millions, three of which were derived from Finland. Goods not sub ject to duty imported by Government and companies from abroad are not included in these figures, but will be comprised in future accounts, as it is evident no proper commercial balance can other wise be struck. The chief place among articles of import is occupied by cotton, in value 22 mil lions, against nine in the preceding year. Tea fol lows with eight millions against previous ten. This latter reduction is due to the increase of duty upon imports taking place across the European land frontier. A diminution was also observed in sugars (eight millions against ten), wine (seven against eight), metals, fish, silks, and drugs. In crease, after cotton, was perceptible in the import of machinery and models (seven millions to five), coals (increase one million), wool (one million), chemical products (one million), salt (two millions), worked linens • (one million), woollen and hempen fabrics, &C. THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—On Thursday morning at 5 o'clock a collision took place between two goods trains at Castlecary station, whereby a large amount of damage was done to property, but, fortunately, there was no loss of life. The facts of the accident, as Was we could gather, were as follows : A goods train (eaves Glasgow at 3 b 0 a.m., and stops at Castlecary to put off and take on luggage trucks ; and a second luggage train leaves Glasgow at 4 30 a.m., and stops at Campsie Junction, when signalled, to take on trucks. The first train arrived all right at Castlecary, and the conductors proceeded to leave the trucks add re ssed to the station and take on the luggage waggo ns rea dy f or In doing so, guard's va n an d other trucks for ta tionsat a greater distance were or di nar i ly left on the transport. s "up line," while the engine was employed in shunting the waggons in the sidings at Castlecary goods station. Owing to the unusually large amount of goods ready for convey ance at the station, the first train was delayed longer than usual. No danger, however, was apprehended, as the red signal was shown at the signal-post on the Glasgow side of the Castlecary station. The 4.30 a.m. train passed Campsie Junction without stopping, as no signal was made to stop, it appears, did not per and approached Castlecary the usual ho ur , a b ou t 5 o ' c l oc k. ran e his train right on to Castlecary :driver,th e danger a came into violent collision sn n tga a et m iro e n d s,ig Jm wnaahl,eersfeoMri it i h l l e e r,. with the part of the early train which was standing on the up line. A largo amount of damage was caused by the accident, the 4.30 train smashing completely the guard's van, a whisky van, and five other trucks ; so great was the force with which the second train came up that one truck was lifted right over the engine, and anothei rested entirely on the boiler of the engine. Fortunately, the guard of the first train was employed on the side-lyes in superintending the leaving off and taking on of the trucks at the goods station. Had he been in his own van he would doubtless have been instantaneously killed. The line was wholly blocked up for some time, but as sistance was telegraphed for from Croy, and a special train was despatched from the station with several labourers, who instantly began to clear the line in time for the early passenger train, but which was not totally cleared till five hours after the occurrence of the accident. The only per sonal injury sustained was by Miller, the driver of the second train, who was thrown off his engine by the force of the collision, and received several severe bruises on the left leg.—Scotsnum.

Lartet, read by Mr. Milne Edwards, concerning a lamina of fossil ivory found in an ossiferous bed near Perigneux, and having the figure of a mammoth rudely engraved on its surface. A plaster cast of the specimen accompanied the letter, in which M. Lartet stated that in the month of May, 1864, he accompanied M. de Verneuil and the late Falconer to one of the caverns called La Madelaine, which he (M. Lartet) had explored in company with the late Mr. Christy. Some workmen were engaged at the time in con tinuing the excavations, and the visitors were in time to see five fragments of an ivory lamina brought to light. The pieces being fitted together again, M. Lartet showed Dr. Falconer numerous but shallow lines sunk into the surface, and which seemed to represent an animal. Dr. Falcoaer recognised the head of an elephant, and upon a closer inspection remarked, besides other parts of the body, a cluster of lines intended to represent the long haired mane which formed the characteristic feature of the mammoth or elephant of the Glacial period. This pecu liarity had been verified beyond a doubt in 1799 by Mr. Adams of the Academy of St. Petersburg, who dis covered a whole mammoth, flesh and bone, im bedded in the ice near the mouth of the Lena. A bunch of the hair of this same mammoth may be seen at the museum of • the Garden of Plants. M. Lartet mentions several other scientific gentlemen who have examined his ivory lamina, which adds a new proof to the many already collected of the co-existence of man with the fossil element (elephas primigenius) and the other great herbivora and carnivora which geologists believe to have lived in the first phases of the quaternary period. Another remarkable discovery was made about the same time on the same spot : it consisted of a number of bones of the ovibos moschatus or musk-ox, lying together with the bones of the fossil bear, reindeer, horse, &c., and evi dences of the industry of man. The musk-ox now lives in the Arctic regions of America, and is never to be found below the 60th degree N.L. Hence during the quaternary period, the temperature of France in the Perigord must have been equal to that of the highest latitudes alluded to. QUARANTINE.—In a paper addressed to the French Academy of Sciences, M. Grimaud de Ganz examines this important question, in which, he observes, Governments are subjected to pressure from two different quarters ; for, on the one hand, public health requires effi cient protection against the invasion of scou r g es which may be imported, and, on the other hand, trade suffers from the restrictions imposed upon it for sanitary purposes, and loudly calls for the suppression of quarantines. H . en . ce . the interests of humanity, which in Fr anco a pp l y to 37 millions of souls, are opposed to the interests of trade, which concern about two millions of persons, exclusive of travellers. In 1846 a medical theory concerning contagion was propounded in favour of the commercial view of the case, and, after a long and violent discussion, the Govern ment thought proper to modify its quarantine regulations. M. Grimaud now points , to the state of things on the Medi terranean coasts, and contends that the results have refuted the new theory completely, trade being injured by the very relaxation of quarantine allowed to protect its interests. When, in a thickly-peopled country, an illness assumes an epidemical character, every one feirs for himself, and hastens either to quit the spot, or to lay efficient obstacles in the enemy's way. Theories relating either to contagion or infection are understood by no one, and no one cares to understand them : it may be human weakness, it may be ignorance, but certain it is that nobody has any faith in the efficacy of any sanitary measure short of the absolute suppression of all communication with the infected locali ties. M. Grimaud himself considers this latter course to be perfectly rational. "For," says he, " if a disorder, whether epidemical or contagious, passes from one place to another, and frqm one individual to another, there must have been circumstances favouring this emigration and transmission ; some special element, some ferment, some germ detached from a body must have been transported to some other body, where it must have developed itself so as to produce new ferments and new seeds." Our author, therefore, is a zealous advocate for the strictest quarantine. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 6 O'CLOCK. THE CHOLERA. The Courrier of Marseilles gives the following account of the mortality there :—" On the 28th ult. 60 deaths were registered, of which 16 were from cholera. On the 29th, 50 deaths were registered by one o'clock, of which 32 were from cholera-8 of them in hospitals, and 24 in private dwellings. The number of deaths from cholera at Marseilles during the five weeks which have elapsed since its first ap pearance on the 23d July are :-Ist week, 20 ; 2d, 45 ; 3d, 49 ; 4th, 108 ; sth, 107—total, 389." The.latest Italian cholera bulletin is as follows : —Ancona, 29th ult., 17 cases and 17 deaths ; San Severo, 28th, 137 cases and 62 deaths ; San Nicandro, 27th, 6 cases and as many deaths ; Apricena, San Marco in Lamis, and Torre Maggiore, 2 new cases and 3 deaths iu all ; Osimo (near An cona), 28th, 3 cases and 1 death ; on the 29th none ; Manduria (Terra d'Otranta), 27th, 80 cases and 31 deaths. The Odessa Gazette announces that there have been five cases of cholera at Galatz, of which two terminated fatally ; five cases of cholera had also occurred on board three vessels which had arrived at Odessa from 'Constantinople. General Kotzebue has issued an order that all vessels coming from the Principalities, Constantinople, and the Turkish ports of the Black sea, shall un dergo ten days' quarantine. Moreover, the Go vernor-General, after consulting with the authorities and physicians of the city, has ordered that all vessels coming from foreign ports shall be stopped near Langeron (three miles from the city), where a guard shall be placed to watch them. The quarantine of the town is quite closed, and there is no communi cation with it. A committee has been formed at Odessa to deliberate upon the measures to be taken to stop the cholera, and diminish its effects in case it should appear in the town. - The Shenandoak—Great Destruction of American Whalers. • LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. Notwithstanding the cessation of hostilities in the United States, and the disbanding of the Confede rate forces, the officers in command of the .cruiser Shenandoah seem determined to continue the de struction of American merchant ships. By the arrival here to-day of the City of Boston from New York we have San Francisco advices to July 21. The latest accounts received at that place from the Shenandoah were to the afternoon of the• 23d of June, when she was near Cape Thaddeus, steaming N.W., toward where a fleet of 60 whalers were known to be previeusly. Capt. Nye, of the French whaling barque Milo; on learning of the intentions of the captain of the Shenandoah, left his vessel in a small boat during a fog for the purpose of warning the whalers of their danger. The Milo also spoke a French whaler, which at once made all sail towards the fleet, and having a considerable start of the Shenandoah it was just possible she might be in time to save the vessels from destruction. While the Shenandoah was at the Island of Ascension, some time since, she burned the new London barque Pearl, and the New Bedford ship Young Hector, besides a San Francisco and a Hawaian whaler. She next burned the New Bedford barque Abigail, in the Ochotsk Sea ; then the Thompson, in the Kamtschatka sea ; and then several New Bedford whalers in the Anadir Sea, where she ar rived on the 20th June. It is feared that, unless the French ship's open whale boat could succeed in warning the fleet, all would be captured, as the Shenandoah knew exactly where to find them. They were hovering along the southern edge of the ice fields, drawing closer together as the ice drifted to wardsß ehrin g's Straits,through which they were seek ing, a passage to the Arctic zone, as the ice permits. There were no efficient Government vessels at San Francisco, and the merchants at that place had ap pealed to the Commandant of the Navy-yard to charter the steamer Colorado, arm her, and send her in pursuit of the Shenandoah. As instructions, however, had to be obtained from Washington be fore the commandant could act, the. fate of the whaling fleet looks rather gloomy. Should they have managed to get into Behring's Straits, the Shenandoah would hardly dare to follow them. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Scott, Bell, and. Co., East India merchants, whose suspension was recently announced, was held yesterday under the presidency of Mr. Finlay, who called upon Mr. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., to lay a statement before the meeting relative to the affairs of Messrs. Scott. Mr. Coleman said he had gone over the books of the firm, and made out a: separate statement, which he called a balance statement, as shown by the books of the firm, which would be in the hands of all gentlemen present ; and also a second, which he called a statement of affairs. The balance state ment showed a total liability or indebtedness of £1,487,592, and on the contra side there was £1,515,329. That was the true state of affairs as shown by their books. Their affairs stood thus :- To creditors onundrawn accounts, £67,985 13s. Bd. ; creditors on bills payable, £970,230 9s. 10d., from which must be deducted securities held on amounts to be provided for by the drawers, &c., £743,228 Bs. 2d., leaving £227,002 ls. Bd. to rank upon the estate. Creditors partially secured claim £2,286 7s. 3d., and there was security to the amount of £1,493, ss. 3d., leaving a claim of £793 2s. Creditors fully secured had a security amounting to £75,751 17s. 10d., with a claim of £72,547 3s. 11d., so that on that item there would be a surplus to be carried to contra account of £3,204 13s. 11d. There were liabilities on bills £374,182 19s. 7d., all of which were expected to be duly met at maturity, so that the total liabili ties were £295,780 17s. 4d. On the other side there were-Cash at the Bank of England, £53 ; bills on hand, £8,676 16s. 9d. ; property share in sugar estate, &c., £14,250; debtors, good, £29,101 lls ; debtors, doubtful, £10,058 6s. 6d. ; do., bad, £959 12s 10d. ; balances on shipments inwards, £6,154 12s. for advances ; surplus secu rities in hands of creditors as per contra, £3,204 13s. 11d., making a total of £61,349 13s. 10d. ; from that, however, must be deducted cre ditors under £lO to be paid in full, such as salaries and so forth, £350 12s. ld ; leaving a balance of available assets of £60,990 ls. 9d. There werebalances on shipments outwards, £9,789105. 9d. for shipments w hich had gone out to the various foreign correspon dents. There was an amount due from Messrs. Dow and Co., on old account, of £81,984 11s. 10d. ; and £33,034 7s. 3d. on new account, the difference in which arose from Mr. Dow some time since taking ‘a. partner into his business, and the item of new account represented the sum due on transactions since that time. Mr. Dow was quite confident that if time were allowed him his estate is perfectly solvent. Immediately upon hearing of the sus pension of Messrs. Scott, Bell, and Co., Mr. Dow sent out instructions to his agents abroad to sus pend immediately, so that the creditors should have a preference. Then there was an amount of £137,719 6s. 3d., due from Watson, Bogle, and Co., in respect to whose affairs they had every in formation. The goods had been selected and sent out to the Bombay market. In making out that account he had deducted 33 and one-third per cent., and the result gave £137,000. Those items gave a total of assets of £323,517 17s. 10d. If he had committed an error it was in under-estimating the value of the estate. It had been the wish of the firm that the creditors should be in no wise misled, and having gone over the various items he could assure gentlemen that there was true value for the amount stated. £172,000 of the ac ceptances had been cancelled, and they had in hand remittances to the extent of £42,000, only awaiting the appointment of inspectors to be dis tributed amongst the shareholders. The firm now asked the metting to allow them to liquidate under inspection. Some discussion ensued, and in reply to a question put by Mr. Argles, Mr. Cole man said that in his examination of the estate he found nothing inconsistent with fair, open, and thoroughly legitimate trading. Eventually resolu tions were unanimously adopted that the estate should be liquidated under inspection, and appoint ing Messrs. J. P. Sweetland, F. W. Lawrence, and Richard Spooner, inspectors, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING. ST.

ALPINE ASCENT.--The first ascent of the Pigne d'Arolla, a mountain 12,500 feet in height, near Evolena, in the Val d'Hereas, was made on Wednesday, the 16th inst. The Rev. Dr. Millard, vicar of Basing stoke, his brother, the Rev. F. M. Millard, and the Rev. F. C. Fitton, left the Chalets at Arolla at 3.10 a.m., reached the summit st 10 a in., and returned to Arolla at 2.30 p.m. In two previous attempts they were defeated by bad weather. THE EMPEROR'S "LIFE OF JULIUS C./ESAR.”—The Gazette des Etrangers announces that the Emperor is preparing the second volume of "L'Histoire de Jules Cesar." The manuscript is being put in typo at the Im perial Printing-office, and nearly ten sheets are now ready. That amount scarcely makes up one-half of the volume, which will not come out, it is said, before the beginning of next year. THE CHOLERA.—The Odessa Gazette announces that there have been five cases of cholera at Galatz, of which two terminated fatally ; five cases of cholera had also occurred on board three vessels which had arrived at Odessa from Constantinople. General Kotzebue has issued an order that all vessels coming from the Principalities, Constantinople, and the Turkish ports of the Black Sea shall undergo ten days' quarantine. Moreover, the Governor-General, after con sulting with the authorities and physicians of the city, has ordered that all vessels coming from foreign ports shall be stopped near Langeron (five versts from the city), where a. guard shall be placed to watch them. The quarantine of the town is quite closed, and there is no communication with it. A committee has been formed at Odessa to deli berate upon the measures to be taken to stop the cholera, and diminish its effects in case it should appear in the town. THE ACCIDENT TO THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—When the first piece of wire was found in the cable no one had any idea but that it was there by accident ; and as the cable was perfect up to the moment of sending the last tests from the ship to the shore, it at once occurred to us that the wire had been driven into the cable whilst it was pas sing through the machinery astern. But when the fault Several of July 29th was examined, a strong suspicion w as a t once arou sed that the injury was caused by some v i ll ain on through boa rfo t r h t e he ca w b ir le e from was drisideetno in an artisticn ma n ner attempts r i ghtto pierce the cable by pressing similar pieces of wire against it with the heetutterly failed. The men declared it was the work of an assassin. Had he been caught, the world might have heard something of an attempt to administer Lynch law. One man was suspected, but there was no evidence against him. When the last fault took place, M. D espescher, on guard in the tank, saw one of the cablemen stoop down to tie his shoe-string. That was nothing, if men were not suspicious. Besides that man did not belong to the gang then at work, but came down before his time. Then Mr. Field, who followed M. Des pescher, heard a scraping of wire, and the men heard it too, and called out to the man on deck. Some people seem to think that the mischief could have been avoided if the man on deck had heard the alarm, but that is not so, as the cable could not then have been arrested on its course Overboard. The only advantage gained would have been a warning to the electricians, that a wire had gone over sticking out of the cable. As it is, the nature of the third fault must be a mystery for the present. It is only surmise that it was caused by another end of wire. An examination of the cable shook all faith in its alleged per fection, for it was found that several pieces of wire were broken in the coils, and some of the wire proved to be brittle and ill-tempered. This discovery allayed the excitement caused by the suspicion of malice, but it damnified the character of the cable, as it revealed a strong suicidal tendency on its part. As yet that grave question of accident or design is undecided, Our subse quent exploit, however, tends to diminish the chances of malicious injury materially. For who will run the risk of detection, especially under the close inspection to be established in future, in order to inflict an injury which can be at once found out, and which can be hooked up from the deepest part of the Atlantic ? A few words as to the grappling which has excited so much at tention. The final breakage of the cable took us all by surprise. Nothing was ready. No buoy could be slipped over. But Staff Commander Moriarty and Captain Anderson determined the exact position of the extreme part of the cable actually laid to be in lat. 51 deg. 24 min. 40 sec. N., long. 39 deg. 4 min. 30 sec. W.—to the actual seconds—and then they marked down the ground or sea gone over in the picking up till the cable broke, and traced the end to lat. 51 deg. 25 min., long. 39, deg. 1 min. 'On noon of the 3d, the Great Eastern having steamed and drifted in a fog 46 miles E. of the end of the cable, began to grapple, caught cable in 2,000 fathoms, and slipped buoy No. 1 close to the line of cable and 10 miles W. of the first lift of it on August 4. Then she drifted seven or eight miles S.W. of the buoy in a fog till noon of sth August, and at noon on Gth August she was sixteen miles further to the eastward, enveloped in fog again, and had to steam to the westward, grop ing her way and looking for the buoy till she got within three miles of the broken end, and grappled the cable again. Then, when the second swivel broke on Aug. Bth she slipped buoy No. 2 to mark the spot, soma - 10 miles West of buoy No. 1, and left these two marks on the ocean when she was obliged to abandon the attempt. Sailors alone can appreciate the extraordinary skill dis played in the proceedings thus simply stated.—Cornliiq Magazine for September. rho eat ;e d wo- ;eV' 'ol, 1 big w of ,locic >nieir ' oro Of ;nee' unto reroll i 100 at I 20i 10 100 1 100 100 201 20 100 100 all 100 100 {lOO 2 100 100 100 100 103 100 100 371 4.2.0 2.8.0 7.1.8 10.6.7 11 18.18.9 30.17.6 3.12.8 8 58i 102) 2 104 31 121 11 97i i 1091
