CONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocK. The Money Market shows no further change of importance. The floating capital of the brokers is exceedingly abundant, and as there continues to be only a verymoderate demand for discount accom modation the rates tend in a lower direction. For fir st - Class sh or t-d a t e d pa p er 41 p er cen t. is taken, but the general quotation ranges from 5 per cent. upwards. There was an influx at the Bank of England yes terday of £123,000, including 36,000 sovereigns, and £lO,OOO was withdrawn for America.

TIIE SUN, LONDON, TUES V EV ENiNG, SEPTEMBER 4, 1866. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--This Day. (Beforo Mr. Sergeant Dowling.) Two boys, named Baker and Peck, wero indicted for stealing about 1 cwt. of lead, the property of Mr. Smith, and a marine storekeeper, named Spiers, was indicted for receiving the same, well knowing the same to have been stolen. From the evidence of a boy, named John Fox, it ap peared that he saw the prisoners Baker and Peck hanging about the promises of Mr. Smith, a cowkoeper in Maryle bono, and the lead stolen was originally as old pump from which the water supply of the yard was procured. Tho pump was forcibly broken down by the prisoners, and although it was worth about £5 to the owner it was sold at the shop of the prisoner Spiers for a few shillings. A wit ness named Bacon said he was sleeping in a loft in the yard unknown to Mr. Smith, and about half-past nine o'clock on the night of the robbery the two younger pri soners came into the place. Shortly after Peck set to work to cut down the pump with a chisel and a piece of iron. It was got down and then broken up into pieces, and removed in parts from the yard, and sold at the yard of Spiers, in Tottenham-street. The witness also stated that he followed the boys, and saw them go into the shop, and afterwards that Spiers came to the door, and he heard him ask the two boys if any one was looking about, when Baker replied " No." Spiers then told them to bring in the lead at the side door, and then to get away as fast as they could. The prisoner Baker said Bacon was the ono who was the most guilty, as he invited him (prisoner) to take part in the robbery. Peck said that Bacon was the party who actually toro the pump down, and that he did it with a crowbar. Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, said ho was a cowkeeper, and occupied the premises in Oval-yard, Marylobono. The pump was an old-fashioned one, and it had cost him be tween £6 and £7 to replace it. Mr. Ribton (who defended Spiers)—You can't do with out it, then ? Witness—No. (Laughter.) Mr. Ribton —A pump has an extraordinary tendency to increase the quantity of milk, has it not ? (Laughter.) Witness—Yes, when it is required. (Laughter) Mr. Bosley (who prosecuted)—But Mr. Ribton you must not forget that cows drink water—(laughter) —and the pump therefore was a necessity in a cowkeeper's yard. The two boys, in their defence, said the real person who stole the pump was Bacon. Mr. Ribton, for Spiers, said that the evidence was of a worthless character, and therefore he felt that the jury, as men of intelligence, would at once acquit his client of any felonious intention, who, in the present case, had been made the victim of a gang of idle boys. Bacon did not deny being the associate of the two lads at the bar, and, indeed, admitted that he had had some conversation with them relative to the robbery, therefore his evidence must bo taken with the greatest suspicion. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty against Spiers and guilty against Baker and Peck. The Court was then informed that the prisoner Spiers was convicted last session of receiving a copper which had been stolen, and it was in consequence of the circumstances that came to light at that trial that the present charge had arisen. The learned Judge said it was fortunate for Spiers that the jury had come to a favourable conclusion with regard to the present charge, otherwise he should have been com pelled to pass a sentence of penal servitude upon him. Ile could not conceal from his mind the great injury and temptation that was hold out to boys to rob their employers by the way in which business was transacted in many of the shops similar to that kept by the prisoner, and put out of view altogether the case which had just concluded. Ile sentenced Spiers :0 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. With respect to the boys, the witness Bacon's evidence was not free from suspicion ; therefore he should sentence them to a week's imprison ment, at the expiration of which they wore to be well whipped and then discharged. By that means they, being young in crime, would have a chance of redeeming their character. SURREY SESSIONS—This Day. FIRST COURT. (Boforo J. E. Johnson, Esq., Chairman.) ROBBERY BY A CLERK. William Homewood, a clerk, was charged with stealing a gallon of rum from the promises of his employers, Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the eminent carriers, to which he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Barnard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lilloy for the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that on tho 7th ult. a cask containing 28 gallons of rum, from Messrs. Wedder burn's distillery, was delivered at the premises of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, Southwark. it was placed, by direc tion of the foreman, in the upper warehouse, and was quite safe at half-past eight iu the evening, at which time lie locked up the warehouse and deposited the keys in the usual place in the office. The next morning the prisoner was found hiding behind some wool-sacks in the upper warehouse by the manager of the establishment. On searching the place he found about a gallon of rum in a pint pot, a bottle, and a bucket, of which quantity the cask, on examination, was found to be deficient. The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THEM ?—Dennis a tall, well-grown boy of nine years of age, but looking much older, carrying, rather than wearing, a heap of rags, which for auy purposes of clothing or decency might just as well have been off as on, was charged with stealing 4s. 6d. from his mother, Mary Sullivan, a widow, living in King-street, Drury-lane. The mother, who gave her evidence with every appear ance of emotion, said that she went out to work yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, leaving under her pillow a pocket containing 4s. 6d., with which she intended to pay her rent. When she came back at about six o'clock in the evening she found that the money was gone. The neigh bours told her that they had seen the prisoner spending money. It was not the first time he had robbod her, and his bad conduct was breaking her heart. Ile was always up and down the street with the worst of characters. Mr. Flowers—Why did you leave the money where he could get it if he had robbed you before ? Witness— I thought he would not take it, me being so poor and his father dead. The Prisoner- -I did not take the money. I was out selling flowers all day, and my mother came home blind drunk. Tho Mother—Don't believe him, your worship, he is a dreadful liar. All the neighbours know it. _ Jeremiah MacCarthy, a labourer, living a few doors from the prosecutrix, here tendered his evidence. He said tho prisoner was a very bad boy, and in the habit of calling his mother bad names. Ho had known the prisoner steal money over and over again, but ho knew nothing about this charge. _ _ Mr. Flowers—l thought this man was to prove either that the mother was sober, or that the boy took the money ? MacCarthy--No, sir. I came to prove what an out rageous scoundrel ho is to his mother. Mr. Flowers—But, you know, ho says ho did not take it, and, by law, I can do nothing without proof. MacCarthy said the boy ought to bo put into an insti tution. Mr. Flowers observed that it was very well to say that, but there were so many who wanted to put their children into institutions that those places wero now full. There was no room for any more. _ _ The Mother—lt would be a groat charity, sir. Mr. Flowers —The child is in a deplorable condition. liedshill, the gaoler—Ho is, sir. Ho is nearly naked, and his feet are bare. His toes are sore, and several of the nails are off. Mr. Flowers—l shall remand him for a week. You must bring evidence to show that he took the money, and I shall consider what is to be done. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BARMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS EMPLGYPIt.— Benjamin Price, a young man, barman in the employ of Mr. Edward Williams, of the Two Ships Tavern, Old Compton-streot, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery. Mr. Williams said the prisoner had been in his employ about a week as a barman. Last night he discovered two shillings and two sixpences in a part of a till where they ought not to have been, and thinking the circumstance very suspicious, ho replaced tho coins with marked ones of a similar kind. The coins remained in the till all night, and in the morning he followed the prisoner down stairs. After the prisoner had cleaned out the till, that being part of his duty, he wont down to the cellar, and on coming up again ho (Mr. Williams) looked in the till, and finding the marked coins gone, called the prisoner into his bar parlour, and taxed him with robbing him. Tho pri soner said he had only taken ono shilling, and that he had never done anything of the kind before. Ile then asked the prisoner to let him see what money he had got about him, and the prisoner then took from his pocket the whole of the marked money, and two sixpences besides, and ho then gave him into custody. Win. Williams, cellarman to the prosecutor, proved marking the money, and seeing the prisoner take it from his pocket. Thomas Davis, 227 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he said he was very sorry, and that he had never done anything of the kind before. The prisoner wished the case settled at once, and pleaded guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt said for the sake of two or three shillings the prisoner had forfeited his character, and would be im prisoned, with hard labour, for six weeks. Susses-street, Pimlico, said at about 10 o'clock last night ho was ejecting a man from his house, and there was a crowd at the door. Ile suddenly felt a hand at his scarf and missed his pin. A gentleman then said prisoner had got it, and the latter was dragged into the house, where he showed fight, and witness struck him. Tho pin was not found on him, but on tho ground near the door, and then witness having got his pin ejected the prisoner from the house. ➢Tr. James Bayley proved seeing a hand go to Mr. Pearse's scarf, where the pin was, seeing the hand come away, and no pin in the scarf, and seizing the hand, which was the prisoner's. There was no pin in it. Ho searched for the pin, and found it near the doer, where it must have been dropped by some ono after the prisoner was taken into the house. Edward Penny, a boy, said he saw prisoner take the pin, but his evidence was contradictory. • James Sutton, 1G•? B, saw the prisoner ejected : he would not go away, saying ho would not be hit for nothing. Shortly after he was called to take prisoner. Mr. Selfo could not understand why Mr. Pearso, know ing he had the:thief, struck him, and pushed him out of the house, not giving him in charge. It was not the act of a thief to remain outside the door and not go away, and he thought no jury would convict. The prisoner was well known, and had better be careful. Ho was now dis charged. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.—SamueI Percoval, William King, William Allen, and Charles Gallafunt, mechanics, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently assaulting police-constable Hawkins, No. 224 K. The complainant, who has been very severely injured, said he found Perceval in tho East India-road, Poplar, at 1 o'clock this morning, and he lay down on the ground and appeared to be quite helpless. lie raised him and told him to go home. The prisoner immediately kicked him. The other prisoners then came up and instigated Perceval to ill-use him. King kicked him and knocked him do'wn, and while he was down Allen came behind him and struck him repeatedly with his fist. After struggling with two of the prisoners on the ground he managed to rise. Perceval struck him again, and he then dreiv his staff and knocked him down with it. Allen then renewed his attack, and he also knocked him down with his staff. A man came up and sprung his rattle and assistance came. A shower of stones was then hurled at them, and one of them struck him on the helmet and another on the back. William Colo, shoemaker, of No. 25, Upper North-street, Poplar, heard a rattle spring, and went into the East India road, and saw a row. lie could not swear to either of the men. Edward Layton, a police costable, No. 290 K, heard cries of murder, and saw the 'prisoners upon the constable Hawkins. lie heard King say to Gallafunt, "Give it him, serve him out." Both men kicked him. Ho assisted Hawkins and others in arresting the prisoners. Perceval was very drunk. The other prisoners were also the worse for liquor, but knew what they wore about. Tho prisoners, who made light of the charge, said they wero drunk, and that they had been knocked about by the police. A witness was called for King.—Ann Rent said the pri soner had lived in her house, No. 8, Park-place, Poplar, for two years, and know him to be a very steady and honest man. Mr. Partridge, after a long investigation, said this was a case which must be severely dealt with. A savage and dastardly assault had boon committed on the constable Dawkins,who was engaged with a d run k en an d v i o l ent man,andnot only instigated the man Perceval to ill use the constable, but brutally attacked him. One of the prisoners, like a coward as he was, came behind the constable and hit him while he was down. Two of the prisoners were knocked down by the constable, who had a right to use his staff after he was ill used. There was very little difference in the guilt of the prisoners. If any there was a shade in favour of Percoval, and he should give him the option of paying a fine. I . le sentenced hi m t o pa y £5 to the Queen or be imprisoned for one month. Ile sen tenced the other prisoners to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Ali the prisoners were mechanics earn ing good wages, and ho felt quite ashamed of them. Perceval paid the fine and was liberated. MARKETS.—This Day. my. SMITIITIELD.—Meadow hay, £4 4s to £5 12s ; clover, £4 15s Od to £6 lOs Od ; and straw, £2 Os to £2 lOs per load. Demand inactive.

The St. Leger is the only race that there is a;ny legitimate betting on, Lord Lyon still maintaining the premiership, notwithstanding the large outlay's on Savernake. Rustic seems to be a" gone coon.' Westwick is certain to beat Strathconan the nex t time they meet, and it would not astonish me to se' a him repeat the Warlock coup of 1856 by winning; both the Ebor and the Leger. Speculation is now -carried on simultaneously at so many different loca lities as to render a complete compilation of tho quotations almost impossible. It frequently hap pens nowadays that more betting takes place at one or two of the West-end clubs in the course of .a few hours, than is transacted in as many weeks at the recognised resorts of the professionals. During the last day or two, however, some disposition has been evinced to back Knight of the Crescent, but notwithstanding his forward position, both in the Two Thousand and Derby, I have little faith iu his capabilities, and fully expect to see Westwick finish before him, in the race. The publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, about Thursday next, is looked forward to this year with an absorbing in terest, and, as usual, a whole legion of " Amateur Casuals" have besieged the sporting journals with attempts —often marvellously conflicting, to antici pate the Admiral's pronunciamento. It is to be hoped that the Admiral will not forget the " roping" performances of several horses during the last two months. The Cup, run to-morrow at Warwick, will be won by Rama or Elland, the former for choice, and Brick should secure the Welter Cup. The Nursery Handicap looks a good thing for Miller's Maid ; and the Grand Stand Plate Beeswing ought to win. 'On Monday I hope I will be as fortunate in anticipating the judges decision for the St. Leger as I was in the Great Ebor Handicap, in my prophecy in The Sun of Monday, August 20, when I actually placed the one, two, three, in the order they came in, viz., Westwick Gomera Scamander 3 A prophecy rarely accomplished by any sporting writer. A FRESH MAN. The Great Explosion Opposite New York, The papers brought by the Java give details of the terrific oil explosion opposite New York, the facts of which were published by telegraph on Satur day. The .New York Herald says : Shortly after 8 o'clock on Sunday morning the inhabitants of Jersey City and Hoboken were alarmed by a loud rumbling, like thunder, that shook the earth and conjured up to timid hearts premonitory symp toms of an earthquake. Immediately after volumes of black smoke rolled into the air, and it was per ceived to proceed from a spot adjacent to the Pavonia ferry. The kerosene oil dock, leased by C. H. Valen tine and Co., the tobacco and cotton dock held by Jarvis and Co., and the Erie Railway Dock, were all on fire. The latter escaped pretty well, through the ex traordinary exertions of the firemen, but the whirling surge elsewhere had struck with such terrific effect that it mocked the puny efforts of man to cope with it. Storehouses on land and vessels in the water succumbed to the fiery element, and in the general ruin 13 human beings perished. One man lies agonising at the verge of the grave, several others are undergoing more or less suffering, and, con sidering the sudden and devouring sweep of the fire, it is miraculous how the others escaped. Neither life nor property was pitied, and the occasion is one not soon to be forgotten. "At 10 minutes to eight o'clock on Sunday morning Henry Kevral, mate of the schooner Alfred Barrett, of Boston, brought breakfast to Captain Kelly, who was lying ill in the cabin. Another man was in the vessel, familiarly known as Arthur,' besides the mate and Kelly. When the mate was returning he heard something crack under his foot like a match, and instantly he was surrounded by a sheet of flame. He ran on deck, and, having reached the deck sank down from con sternation and the prostrating effect of the heat through which he had passed. He was quickly aroused by the crash and rumbling of the barrels which were falling after the explosion, and he reached the clear air with difficulty. His hair and beard were burnt off, his clothes almost consumed, and when he reached the hospital it was found that his face was badly burned and his fingers were almost•a crisp. There was scarcely a part of his body that escaped the fire. It is thought that he cannot possibly recover. " Captain Kelly and his brother, the mate, with Arthur, above alluded to, perished. Two women and a child, on a canal boat, were seen rushing on deck in flames, and, uttering fearful shrieks, sank back into the fiery pool. The child tottered over board. Three other children who were in this bOat were also lost. The captain and two men of a lighter lying outside the Barrett fell victims to the flames. On the lighter Smith a man rushed wildly along the deck in flames, and, seeing no hope of succour, plunged into the water and disappeared. The mate, Kelly, of the Barrett, was seen hanging over the stern of the vessel, while his clothes were on fire, and his body remained in this position for nearly three-quarters of an hour. A sailor of the brig Matron had a vest burned off his back i still he persevered in efforts to save his vessel. A cap tain of a lighter ran away while his clothes were on fire, badly burned about the fac2. He was so terror-stricken that persons who pursued him were left far behind in the chase. Few, if any, es caped uninjured. In the explosion of the lighter lying next the Barrett, mentioned above, a man was blown up 60 feet in the air, and fell into the river. Those who witnessed the frantic rushing to and fro of the women were almost paralysed with terror. One of them, who ap peared to be the child's mother, dashed forward be side the little one wild and frenzied with despair. Their terrible condition was horror in all its phases. Reason must have departed, for they rushed across the deck in places where they could have found no footing, and they seemed to tread on air. A mur mur of terror and grief burst from the bystanders as the ill-fated beings sank into the water. The tenacity with which they clung to life must have been strengthened by the assurance that help would momentarily arrive. The little fellow instinctively resisted the decree of an inexorable fatality ; but in a few moments he had passed with his mother be yond the portals of life into the region of eternity. "No sooner had the schooner blown up than a scene of - terrible sublimity presented itself. Barrel after barrel of oil caught fire with great rapidity, until on a space of over two acres there was one vast sheet of flame, capped, as it were, by black mashes of rolling smoke, which mounted up like a pyramid until lost in the sky. Three piers, nearly 20,000 barrels of oil, and the sailing craft mentioned elsewhere, were blazing, defying the efforts of the firemen to subdue the fiery element. The oil floating on the water also caught, until here and there could be seen tiny jets of flame, which seemed to issue from the depths of the river. " The lighters were soon consumed, not being heavily laden ; but the schooner Alfred Barrett continued burning throughout the entire day. It was remarked that, although floating in 17 feet of water, she did not sink, even after her stern was burned to the water's edge. So fearfully intense was the heat that it appeared to prevent the water from rushing into the hold. About dusk a brisk breeze sprang up, which fanned the smoke away and revealed the flames and as each barrel in the hold caught, a long and round column of fire, large at the base and tapering into a slender, lightning-like streak, shot out from amid the general blaze and swayed to and fro until the oil was consumed. Column after column of this fire burst forth in rapid succession, forming a mag nificent panoramic view. On the vessels laden with tobacco the fire burned slowly and without consi derable extent of flame. Nevertheless, the efforts to sudne it failed, in consequence of its being low down the hold. Late in the evening several jets of flame burst from the sides, and, after creeping up to the deck, exposed the ribs of the vesseli and showed the burning tobacco. " The office of the oil company was totally de stroyed, together with all its contents. A large number of valuable papers were also consumed, to gether with the books. The safe is reported to have sunk into the dock, and will be got out." NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. [The Doncaster St. Leger is near at hand, to be rapidly succeeded by the Cesare Witch and Cam bridgeshire, the weights for which are due this week.

Honiton galloped a mile and three quarters this morn ing, again led by Penelope Plotwell, and looks - none the worse for his severe Saturday's four-mile sweat with the latter. Lord Glasgow's pair of Leger horses were cased a bit, doing a mile only twice. The two Robin Hoods galloped a mile and a quarter, and Nu was canter ing smartly. Tourmalin strided along, and so did Breadalbane, but 'Broomielaw was doing very little, as were Chignon and Dalesman, who had sweated on Saturday. Pedagogue, The Hermit, The Rake, The Raven, and Problem were severally doing more work than either of the other youngsters, as D'Estournel, Hippia, and other two-year-old clippers were taking it quietly. Seve ral animals left for Warwick yesterday ; and we have a few gone to Baden-Baden, Tom Jennings having accompanied them. Breadalbane never went better than he does now ; and Blois has also Blinkhoo]ie, Knight of the Garter, and Target doing well: The elder Hayhoe is preparing Breeze again ; and Janitor goes first class.

TEA.—There has been very little business transacted, the trade having deferred their operations until the public sales, which commence to-day, when a largo quantity will be offered for public competition. SUGAR.--The market has been dull, although holders demand fully previous rates. In the refined there is little change of importance to report. COFFEE.—The supplies on offer have been moderate, but there has been a fair demand, and steady prices have been maintained. RICE.—The inquiries for cleaned descriptions have con tinued, and owners demand fully previous prices.

OLD TRAVELLERS. —The decay of inns renders impossible feats performed by men of our own time, though of the last generation. Old Dick Tattersall used to have a relay of backs on the road between London and Grantham used to mount, after a day's work of auction at the extinct Corner, ride down one hundred and eight miles before morning, hunt the,uost day with the Belvoir hounds, and return by the same means to his duties. Sir Tatton Sykes, of Sledmere, the last of the real squires, who, was satisfied to spend a large income at home on hospitality, field sports, agriculture, and breeding Leinstor sheep and horses to win the Derby, without troubling either the world of politics or the world of fashion, had a way of travelling (with as little baggage as Sir Charles Napier) to Epsom to see the Derby run, or to an equal distance to ride a race, that would now be impossible. Wherever he slept the first night, ho borrowed next morning a clean shirtfromthe landlord, and left his own to be washed ready for his re turn. He repeated the operation at each resting-place on the road, returning by instalments each borrowed garment until he arrived back at Sledmere in his own shirt. A small valise carried the satin breeches and silk stockings that replaced his leathers and long boots in the evening. The operation was ingenious, primitive, and clean; but in 1866 the landlords with frilled shirts have followed the way of satin breeches, and are known no morn.--Dickens's " All the Year Roma*" ILSLEY. Lord Lyon cantered a mile or so with Gardevisure this morning, and then followed Split the Difference in a mile and three quarters gallop, the ground being a bit sticky from the late heavy rains.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : NEWMARKET. Very little was . done on Sunday morning, for the weather was bad, and our trainers generally set the Sabbath apart for rest to man and horse—a, very commendable ru!e,w;!!ch it would be as well for other dis;Ticts to recognise and sap porL This morning (Monday) the race-course, the Long Hill, and Bury Hill were somewhat heavy from the pre vious day's storms, but we had immense st.ings of horses out, including our Leger representatives—Honiton, Ye - pasian, Lord Glasgow's two colts, Rhin Hood (oy North Lincoln), and Leybourne. The half-brother to Queen Bertha was led a mile and three-quarters by Star of India and Penelope; but though he is a commanding-looking horse, and gallops more freely than he did, he lacks pace, and his hock has been recently blistered. Vespasian looks and goes well, but is no stayer. It is, however, generally understood here that he is to be sent to Doncaster for the special pu pose of making a good pace for Lord Lyon. Leybourae was working with Sealskin and Ninco Nance, the three doing nearly a mile and tierce quarters at a nice pace. Robin Hood was out, with the rest of the Baron's team, but he is not near fit, having been eased so long, owing to limeness. Lord Glasgow's pair galloped nearly two miles, and the roan is unquestionably the best. Duke of York has resumed work, and is fancied by some for the Cesarewitcb, but the Admiral may take as much care of him for that racy as he will of Nu fo: the Cambridgeshire. The latter is rattling along each moo ing, and is very fit; but the G •e4t Yorkshire Handicap may be her journey, after all, as she is better in for that than at Warwier.

THE CAUSES OF THE LATE CRISIS IN THE CITY.— All the globe over we have attempted too much for our means ; those means h ave b een prema t ure l y ex h aus t e d : the works begun were not carried to the stage of produc tiveness; they wore stopped beiore they yielded asy results ; and the capital is lost, now, if not for ever. It matters not whether the enterprises commenced were bubbles or judicious andwell-planned schemes, thoroughly calculated to yield a large accession of wealth and in come ; either they were notfinished, and brought nothing, or if completed, they could replace the outlay only after a series of years. In both cases alike, if the sums thus ex pended exceeded the actual surplus, the stock of spare commodities in the nation, there must bepoverty and distress. The cause of the disa ster is very smple i , but t is also very profound ; it is suffi cient to generate i all the sure indiv way id to uals. ,confusion and all the suffering. To . spend t oo much, even on wise andpivdiuscotinvleywa oi•ks, is a collection cf be come poor. A nation The man who begins more drainage or building than ho can carry to completion must end in poverty ; in the same way the surplus capital of tho country, distributed by moans of the money market, if invested on works whic h remain unfruitful, is destroyed. And, the one vital, all important moral to draw is this—that the City, like an in dividual, if it desires to escape disaster, must combine the consideration of moans with ends ; in other words, must endeavour to ascertain what surplus capital there is to s pare, and then determine the number and exte n t o f new in en terprises accordingly.—Bonamy P r i ce , T h e Gentle man's Magazine. An organisation has been formA throughout the Southern States for the pirpase of exhtming and lute:- ring in cemeteries the Confederate dead, and sites for this purpose have been purchased upon several of the great battle-fields. It is a curious result, reported from the South, that the sudden transition from slavery to freedom, together with the tei.ible suffei:ngs of the negeoes Mace the war ended, has filled to ovelflowing all the lunatic asylums in the South. Many more blacks have become lunatics than whites. FORIiNG IN LET D 3 WARWICK RACES.--Tms DAY. TRIAL STAKES. l3eeswing Whirligig Vespasia Five rat , 00000000000000000 00 •., 3 LEAMINGTON STARES.

Pionelngs of tin Pa "adelph Convention, In the fit.)t accounts which reviled us of the meeting of the Philadelph i a Convention, we saw little of a hopeful chara:;:! . . The t?le grams informed us that Fernando Wood, Clement L. Vallandigham, and George 11. Pendleton were among the delegat' ; and this was gra=te enough to rouse our suspicion that the Convention was simply a great meeting of the foreino:As sit:ta of the late rebellion, who, defeated in a bad cause and not yet reconciled to the consequences of de- . feat, had met to oppose in secret councils the Government they had failed to destroy by open warfare. But subsequent dc:leatchca infoi_ned vs that these objectionable men have retired from the Convention in deference to populir f —ling, and that Major-General John H. A. Dix, one of the heron of the war, was elected to pre - -ide over the deliberations of the Convention. This was a hope.. ful sign indeed. General Dix was commander of the department of New York at the time of the great riot in July, 1863, and all through the war he showed his loyal'y, his devotion to Vs eountry, his hatred of seces..sion, and his faithfolue .5 to the Union. The fact that such a man as Gene tai D'x, who enjoyed the confidence of all parti..iarke, was called on take the chair of the Convention, showed that the delegates were there not to make war upon Republicans, but by conciliation and moderation to pour oil upon the troubled waters, and to en deavour to restore the Union by mutual conee7sion and goodwill. The Philadelphia Convention has adjourned, and its work is before the world. Who can question that work ? Who can come forward now and say that there is one single word in the resolutions of that body which doca not breathe the fide spirit of patriotism. We have very care:o'fy stue'ed the whole document, which begins with an expre , sion of thankfulness to Almighty God for the rota a of peace to our afflicted and beloved land. It de clare 3 that the war just closed has maint.:.in d ti le authority of the Constitution ; it hos pre •••z7el the Government and the Union, and that the Cors i tut:on of the United States is the sup-eme law of the lend. It lays dowa the law in the most unrr's takable manner that the Union's perpetual; that no State cr Convention of State has the r:ght to withdraw from the Union, or to exclude, through their action in Congress or o:lierw . - 2, any State or Status from the Union. It clienfolly and hnnd somely re ?o2,nis a that it abolish, d slay( - y for L - ier, declares that there is neither purpose nor desire on the part of the. South that it should sve: be re established, and admits that the enfranchised claws in all the Sta' es should receive, in common with all their inhabitants, equal prot2ction ia eveiy r;ght of prson and property. Eually, It; repudiates the rebel debt, and holds the debt of the nation :o be sacred and inviolable, and proclaims a firm purpose to discharge all other national obl'gations, and maintain unimpaired and unimpeache I the faith of the It-public. In the tenth and last article the Convention gives its cordial and F . ncere support to President JOHN SON, who, it maintains, "in his great office has " proved stedfast in his devotion to the Constita " tion, the laws, and interests of his country." Nothing can be fairer than all mas l e V e a t : ilu h io l: w n h g .o .

There jn candid and patriotic Americans regard'ng Pres.dentehnsonls recent position, but none can doubt his honesty, his sterling patriotism, his devotion to the 131:•3t interests of his countkl. For our own prr; we cannot doubt such words as those utter: l by the Ph'ladelph;a Convention. If the South meant repudiation of rebellion, secession, slavery, and all the evils wb:ch follow in their train, then we are with the South, for then there ehall bo no more a South nor a North so far as political ac::on is cone - 2mM.
