?CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount demand by the commercial public is lather active, but there is again shown a reluctance by the banks to take bills more than below the ce l.cial minimum. Capital, however, is not scarce, and the d es i re to h o ld i t i n reserve, no doubt, arises i . r°lll an anticipated large inquiry for paper matur ing at the end of the quarter.. The director s of th e B r iti s h an d A mer i can S team N avigation Company have announced a call of £2 I ° B . per share, to be paid on the 2d October. Advices have been received by the Imperial ,? tt oraan Bank, dated Sept. 1, from thei r Bu c h ares t °ra n -I_ , b ranch, of the usual monthly payment by the Go vernment of £5,300 on account of interest, and 1, 400 for the s i n ki ng f un d o f th e D anu bi an Pr incipalities Loan. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week state that business generally has continued to proceed in a satisfactory manner. The have in both cloths and yarns at Manchest er ' l ave been on an extended scale, and prices in some instances have slightly advanced. The W oollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax l i l aa continued active, particularly as regards the at ter place, owing to an extensive demand for carpets for America and Canada. In the hosiery a nd lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham the re has been more business transacted in both Plain and fancy goods, and the prospects of trade in t he hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, a nd Wolverhampton have shown a decided improve tkent in most depa r t men ts, ow i ng t o th e d eman d f or 413 /De requirements and for exportation to America a nd Canada.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were very dull for wheat. Old samples were about 2s. per quarter lower than in she previous week, whilst new qualities sold at irregular prices. The demand for spring corn ruled far from active, but very little change took place in the quota tions. The flour trade was dull, on easier terms. On the Continent, the wheat trade is quieter, and prices are lower ; but most descriptions of spring corn support previous rates. At New York the news of an advance here has caused considerable activity both in wheat and flour, and rather an important rise has taken place in the quotations. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our markets, last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 27,735 quarters of wheat; 5,921 bar ley ; 22,042 oats ; 975 rye ; 226 beans ; 300 peas ; 6,589 linseed ; 7,936 oil seeds ; 407 sundry seeds ; 60 sacks and 3,564 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home grown wheat were but moderate. The condition of the supply of new produce exhibited a slight improvement as compared with Monday last. The trade for all qualities, both old and new, was in a most inactive state, and the day's business was chiefly confined to transactions in old and the better samples of new wheat, at a decline in prices from this day se'nnight of Is. to 2s. per quarter. A portion of the supply, therefore, was left unsold at the close of the market. The market was moderately supplied with most descrip tions of foreign wheat. The demand generally was in a sluggish state, and a fall of is per quarter took place in the rates :',urrent on Monday last. Floating cargoes of wheat were in limited request at a decline in prices of is per quarter. Spring corn afloat, however, was tolerably firm in value. A very moderate supply of barley was on the stands, and the quality of the produce was mostly inferior. The trade was dull for all descriptions, yet prices were without change from this day se'nnight. There has been a better supply of oats on offer, the trade for which was dull, at barely late rates. Oats were in good supply. For most qualities there was a steady demand, at last Monday's currency. New grey peas were dull, and prices declined is. per quarter. _ The flour trade was in a sluggish state. Country marks gave way in price ls. per 2801bs. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

To-day's market was extensively supplied with foreign beasts and sheep. With the exception of some excellent Normandy beasts, the quality of the stock was very mid dling. The trade was slow on easier terms. The arrivals of English beasts fresh up exhibited a slight increase as compared with Monday last. The re ceipts from Ireland were somewhat extensive ; but the show of Scotch was confined to 40 head. Generally speaking, the beef trade was dull. The finest Scots, crosses, Lin coins, Devons, and Herefords, changed hands at mostly full prices ; but in the value of superior breeds, a decline of about 2d. per Blbs. took place. The top quotation was 5s 4d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,700 head ; from other parts of Eng land, 600 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 40 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 400 oxen and heifers. Apart from the foreign supply, the arrivals of sheep were more extensive than on Sunday last, the increase being chiefly confined to Scotch and Irish breeds, of which there was a considerable number in the pens. The quality of the stock was very middling. Good and fine breeds changed hands at prices barely equal to Monday last; but inferior stock gave way in price 2d per 81bs.

Beasts. inferior qualities exhibit a slight decline. Lambs' wool shows an advance of ld to 2d per lb., the supply on offer being limited. For English wool, by private contract, there is a steady demand, and prices rule firm. The im ports into London last week were 1,424 bales from Sydney, 475 from Port Philip, and 3,330 from Algoa Bay. Current prices of English wool per lb. WESTMINSTER. THE TAnus T URNED.--Anna Langham, a woman about 35 years of age, was charged with violently assaulting and wounding John Flynn, a labourer. The prosecutor said that he lodged with his wife in the house of the prisoner. On Friday there was a few words between them at the gate, and they were repeated the next morning. On Saturday night, prosecutor found his wife quarrelling with the defendant, and took her away. Sub sequently, as he was coming in, she attacked him with a gallon can, and wounded him on the head, at the samo time, throwing water over him. The accused said that the prosecutor entertained ill feel ing against her because she had distrained upon him for arrears of rent. She was the only support of an aged, bed ridden mother, who was constantly being placed in fear by the frightful threats that he would burn the old woman in her bed. She remonstrated with him upon his violence when he seized her by the hair of the head, dragged her? about the place, and shamefully ill-used her. She escaped him, and took the water-oan in her own defence. After that the complainant hurled a basin at her, and cut her. Mr. Arnold asked prosecutor if ho had any witness. Flynn replied that ho had not in attendance. d)fr Arnold inquired whether there were any for the elerice r Two were immediately prom__ who clearly proved that complainant used disgraceful threats, and dragged the defendant about with groat vio lence. It was shown that there wore no marks of violence upon him until after his serious ill-treatment of the woman. Mr. Arnold said he should adjourn this case and grant the defendant process against the complainant for the ill treatment of which she complained. She must attend on a future day, on her own recognisance); and then any further evidence might be produced. SOUTHWARK. INDUSTRIOUS PICKPOCKETS.—Robert Turner and Tho mas Leack, two boys, between 14 and 15, were charged before Mr. Woolrych with picking pockets. From the evidence it appeared that a police constable who was on duty perceived the two boys together in the Borough, last Saturday evening, and suspecting that they were young thieves, he watched them. He saw them pick several gentlemen's pockets of their handkerchiefs, and took them into custody. Both prisoners denied the charge, and were committed ,o prison for one month each. A MUSICAL MENDICANT.—..Denis Burke, whose accent proclaimed him a native of the " Emerald Isle," was charged with begging. Policeman L5B said that about half-past 8 o'clock on Saturday evening he saw the prisoner in the Lower Marsh , Lambeth. He was singing, and received money from dif ferent persons. On being desired to move on he went about 15 yards further, but in doing so occupied about half-an-hour, and during that time continued his vocal performance. He took him into custody, and 2e. 7d. was found on his person. The Prisoner—l was only singing, and never knew that singing in the open streets was begging. Mr. Woolrych—lf you get money by singing openly ii is begging according to law. The Prisoner expressed some surprise at this decision of the worthy magistrate, and was dismissed with a caution not to repeat the offence. THAMES. THE GROOM AND HIS MASTER.—George Smith, a groom in the service of Mr. Poole, a gentleman residing in the Mile-end-road, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding his master. The prosecutor had occasion to find fault with the pri soner for not properly cleaning out his stables. Some words and a scuffle ensued between them, and the prisoner threatened to hit Mr. Poole with a pitchfork. Mr. Poole immediately took the pitchfork from the groom's hand and told him to leave the premises. The prisoner directly struck his master a violent blow on the mouth and wounded him. Dr. Ansel], who dressed the wound on the complainant's face, said it was 3 in. in length and a third of an inch in depth. ._ Tstriking his master, an d sa id th e wound he ispwrasoinneflr admittedw ithicted thenail of his thumb. Dr. Ansoll, who is a gentleman of great experince in his profession, and is Medical Officer to the Poplar Board of Works, said he would take upon himself decidedly to say the wound was inflicted with a sharp instrument. It was a clean cut. The thumb nail could not have inflicted such a wound. Mr. Paget belived the prisoner had used a knife. It was a most cowardly and malicious act. He sentenced the pri soner to be imprisoned two months and kept to hard labour. LONGFELLOW, THE POET, IS said to be engaged on a new story in verse, the incidents of which are d rawn from the war. Th e measure Is chiefly hexameter, and the poem will possess some of the characteristics of " Evan geline." GOETIIE'S VISIT TO HEAD-QUARTERS.—" As a de licious intermezzo, we may remark that Goethe, who had come to the Prussian head - quarters as a commissary for Weimar—' a tall, handsome man, always dressed in a court suit, powdered, with a hair-bag and dress sword, who looked like a minister'—was only a ' fellow' in the sight of the old Prussian Junkers. An old corpulent major, who marched with his battalion into Weimar, joined a party at a wine-house. A young officer asked him whether be had good quarters. Well, well, decent. lam with one (ethe or Gothe—douce take me if I know the fellow's name. it must be the celebrated Gilthe." It may be so : yes, it may be. I felt the fellow's teeth, and he seems to me to have flies in his bead.' "—Sir Lascelles Wraxall's Posthu mous Book of Miscellanies. DR. TURNBULL'S EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN CURING DEAFNESS.—The Abbe Moigno, at one of his late sittings, stated that the learned doctor had cured several persons deaf and dumb from their birth. The patient is made to stop both his ears ; Dr. Turnbull then places his watch on the subject's forehead, and if the tick ing is heard he thereby argues that the nerve is not para lysed, and that his method of cure may succeed. He then pours a neutral liquid of his own composition into the ear, and a few minutes after the spectators are surprised to find that the patient can hear. From that moment the cure commences, and is almost always crowned with success. Mr. Martin, 16, John-street, Crutched-frairs, said I have a deposit and current account in the Bank of London. On the Bth of November I had £2,800 on deposit there. I did not give the prisoner any directions as to the £1,600, transferred from deposit to my current account. I did not know of any such transaction having taken place until after the prisoner was in custody. The sum of £1,600 has not been transferred. On the Bth of November I did not draw a cheque on the Bank of London for £6OO. I did not receive the bank notes for £5OO and £lOO, of which the particulars have been stated. Mr. Mash—l am in the employ of Mr. Mortimer. I have the care of his cash account, and I am in a position to know what cheques he drew on the Bth of November. Mr. Mortimer did not draw a cheque on the Bank of London that day for £l,OOO or £1,600. He did not receive the bank notes spoken to during the examination from the prisoner. Mr. W. F. White—l am a clerk in the Bank of London. It is my duty to enter particulars of notes of the Bank of England received at the Bank of London during each day. I find in the proper place for bank notes received an entry for £1,600 in bank notes received for Mr. Taylor. Those notes are the same as those spoken of and produced by Mr Mullins. Another clerk in the Bank of London, who had charge of the deposit ledger, said—ln 1865 I debited Mr. Richard Martin's account for £1,600, the initials are in the pri- soner's handwriting. We have no more than one depositor of the name of, Richard Martin. Mr. Mullins said that was all the evidence he had against the prisoner. The Lord Mayor then cautioned the prisoner, and asked him what he had to say in answer to the charge. He merely replied—l leave the matter in the hands of my solicitor. The Lord Mayor fully committed him for trial. The Case of Mr. Tommey. Mr. Tidd Pratt, the Registrar of Friendly Socie • MANSION-HOUSE.--THIS DAY. ties in England, has just made the Report of the Thomas Wood, one of the cashiers of the B an k o f L on d on , proceedings of his offic e f or t h e year 1864, or rather was placed before the Lord Mayor, on remand, charged that report has been printed by order of the House with having stolen the sum of £1,900 and £1,600, the pro- of Commons since the month of July, and is now perty of his employers, the directors of the said corporation. accessible to that large part of the communit Mr. Mullins said the prisoner was a cashier in the Bank y of London, and from circ um st a nces that had t rans pi re d an directly interested in the conditi on o f these Unions. Nor is the report without interest t o th ousands not examination of his books and papers had been m a d e , and a fraud amounting to £3,500 had been die- immediately connected with the Societies, but to covered.

Th e zealously pursued, are beset with difficulties. Th e law itself, carried into effect by a public offi cer, i s prisoner made it appear th a t £1,600 was to be transferred from Mr. Martin's deposit to his drawing account, and only partially successful in obtaining information as a debit note for that amount was passed through his to these bodies. A knowledge of the exact state of the book, and there ought to have been a credit note funds and the number of members of each society, made out, by the prisoner crediting his drawing ac published every year, would be a great protection count with the £1,600, but no such note was passed to the working classes themselves, and a consider through the bank, as it was found in his desk.

Societies as it ought to be. The present annual The prisoner received gold for three Bank of England report closes with a complaint of the registrar of the notes, one for £l,OOO, one for £5OO, and one for £lOO from neglect with which the official forms sent to be one of his fellow-clerks. The second robb er y o f £1 , 900 had been discovered since tho prisoner had b een i n cus- filled up by the trustees an d o ff icers o f th e tody. None of the cash has been recovered. Societies are treated. Last year 22,511 blank forms were sent out by the registrar, but only 10,398, considerably less than half, were returned, filled up with the details the law requires for pub lication. The Act of Parliament is certainly a new one, and its object may not yet be clearly understood. Mr. Tidd Pratt ascribes the gross neglect of a duty rendered as easy to perform as it possibly can be to the fact that "it generally happens " the omission to make the return "is owing to the accounts not having been kept or audited." If this is really the case in any large proportion of 10,000 or 11,000 societies, the state ment ought to excite the attention of the members of those bodies without loss of time. But the more hopeful view of the present inattention to the require ments of the law is that the meaning of the act is not yet understood, and this defect is one that time and better knowledge will remove. The law would protect many thousands against fraud if they would take advantage of it, which at present they do not. Notwithstanding this and other defectsin the ma nagement of friendly societies, the principle on which they are founded is very popular, and the number of the institutions themselves appears to be increas- ing. During the past year the Registrar received only 120 notices of the dissolution of societies, 65 of which have been gazetted as dissolved ; while he has certified the rules of 1,056. A still larger number have made alterations in their rules which the Re gistrar has approved. Thus cases of organisation are far in excess of those dissolution—an encouraging fact, as it indicates the increase of foresight and pro vident habits. The Registrar has still to lament another defect in the management of friendly societies, though he hopes the evil is decreasing, and is able to show that the working classes themselves are becoming aware of the injurious consequences of a very old practice. It is that of holding the business meetings of these clubs at a publichouse, with the accompanying obli gation of drinking for " the good" of the establish ment. The score run up is the landlord's rent, and very dearly is the occupation of his room for an evening paid for on these terms. Unfortunately, it is often very difficult to obtain the use of a room on other conditions. On this subject, and that of " an niversaries, " Mr. Tidd Pratt thus remarks : " The Registrar still continues to receive complaints by and on behalf of members of old-established societies with respect to the compulsory payments they are required to make monthly and annually for beer and the anniversary meetings. The place of meeting, as stated on a former oc casion, should, if poasible, be at some public institution or school-room, and if that cannot be obtained, and there is no other place except an inn or a publicho use, a certain fixed payment should be made for the hire of the room, lights, and fire, with a stipulation that no beer, &c., should be brought into the room until all business is concluded, when each member shall pay for any refreshment he may require. When an anniversary or annual feast is held, the contribu tion thereto and attendance thereat shall be voluntary, though there seems no legal objection to a rule that every member who lives within a given distance should have a ticket sent him, which, if not returned at a certain time, onr - 1 .J.r0 the day of the feast, he should be re -quired to pay for ; but a better plan appears to bo for the stewards to keep a book in which each member who in tends to dine shall enter his name, and pay a monthly cu,, tribution for that purpose. This regulation of course could not be incorporated as a rule, nor would the money sub scribed form any part of the funds of the society. As the compulsory payments for beer, &c., are of no benefit to the members, but for the good of the house,' and as no such payments are inserted in any rules certified under the 18th and 19th Vic., cap. 63, it appears desirable in future legis lation to provide that 'no such payments shall be made any laws, rules, or regulations of any friendly or benefit society to the contrary notwithstanding.' In reports of previous years the Registrar has had to mention instances of largo expenditure for drinking purposes, and the evils arising from clubs being held at publichouses, on which subject there has from time to time been considerable dis cussion in the press and other periodicals ; and although the mischief is not now carried on to the extent it used to be a quarter of a century ago, yet the evils now existing are sufficient to cause a desire for a reform in this matter." As a proof that a feeling against this forced ex penditure is growing up, the Registrar quotes a letter on the subject from the organ of the Society of Fores ters, in which the effect of the practice in encourag ing intemperate habits is fully illustrated.

UNPROVOKED AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—CharIes Downs, a tailor, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr. John Willis, foreman to Mr. Bywater, carpenter and builder, of Carnaby-street, Regent's-street. The complainant, whose head was enveloped in ban dages, said that on Saturday night while talking to Mr. Marsh, a carpenter, residing in Silver-street, Golden square, Mr. Marsh at the time sitting in a chair at his door, the prisoner and another young man came against him and made use of most insulting language towards him, and then assaulted him, knocked him down, and severely injuring his head, and also bruising him about the chest and body. Ho became insensible and was obliged to have medical attendance, and still felt a great deal of pain in his head. In answer to questions put by Mr. Knox, the complainant *id the prisoner threatened him before assaulting him. Mr. Marsh, carpenter, of Silver-street, who gave his evidence seated, being paralysed, said that while sitting at his door the prisoner and another man came up and grossly insulted the complainant, and said they would do for him; the prisoner then struck the complainant three times in the mouth. The prisoner and his companion then closed on the complainant, threw him down, and he became in sensible. The prisoner said the complainant, in the first instance pushed against him. Mr. Marsh said that was not true, and that the prisoner lifted up the complainant's head while he was on the ground and bumped the back part of it three or four times on the pavement, and afterwards made off with his com panion, he (Mr. Marsh) not being able to render the com plainant any assistance owing to being paralysed. Police-constable Grinham, 132 0, said that on stopping the prisoner, who was running pursued by several persons, in John-street, Golden-square, he said it was a bad job, and that he could not help it. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the prisoner was sober at the time, and the constable said he had been drink ing but was not drunk. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and ordered a warrant to be issued against his companion. Friendly Societies. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

MILITARY SUICIDE.—About half-past 2 o'clock on Saturday a loud report of a musket was heard in the encampment of the Military Train on Woolwich-com mon, when it was discovered that a sergeant of the corps named William Benns, of No. 23 troop, had committed suicide. No reason can be assigned for the rash act other than that he had been somewhat addicted to intemperance and had been treated for delirium tremens. It likewise ap pears that ho had been recently in charge of the camp re creation-room, and had been removed in medical charge. He was at that time put under stoppage for debt. Since his return from hospital his habits were remarkably ab stemious, and his friends entertained hopes of his thorough reformation. On Saturday morning, at a quarter past six o'clock, he proceeded on duty, and returned at 1 p.m., at which hour he dined with his brother sergeants at their mess, and was in good health and spirits. After dinner he took a single glass of porter at the canteen, and on his re turn to barracks he found Mrs. Driscoll, the wife of one of the privates, there, who had brought home the men's wash ing, and offered to assist her in allotting each man's to its proper place on the beds. This she declined, stating that he always misled her. He then disappeared unnoticed into a small apartment at the end of the room called the bath room, loaded one of the men's carbines, and shot himself through the head by pointing the muzzle in his mouth. Death was instantaneous. Officers and men rushed to the spot on hearing the report, but assistance was of no avail. The unfortunate man bore a good character in the regiment. He joined the Military Train in 1857 as a volunteer from the 10th Hussars, and was nearly 22 years in the army. He was unmarried. COBDEN'S LAST WORDS IN PARLIAMENT. —The last words of this remarkable speech, and the last words uttered by Cobden in the House of Commons, were these. They are a sacred legacy left to the nation he loved so well :—" I know of nothing so calculated some day to produce a democratic revolution, as for the proud and com bative people of this country to find themselves in this vital matter of their defence sacrificed through the mis management and neglect of the class to whom, with so much liberality, they have confided the care and future destinies of the country. You have brought this upon yourselves by undertaking to be producers and manufac turers. I advise you in future to place yourselves entirely in dependence upon the private manufacturing resources of the country•. If you want gunpowder, artillery, small arms, or the hulls of ships of war, let it be known that you depend upon the private enterprise of the country, and you will get them. At all events, you will absolve yourselves from the responsibility of undertaking to do things which you are not competent to do, and you will be entitled to say to the British people, Our fortunes as a Government and nation aro indissolubly united, and we will rise or fall, flourish or fade together, according to the energy, enter prise, and ability of the great body of the manufacturing and industrious community.' " Speaking with strict ac curacy, these were not absolutely Cobden's last words in the house ; for, subsequently, in the same debate, he curiously enough interrupted a speaker with the characteristic ejscu lation, "It is ridiculous to compare times of peace and war."--11‘Gilchrist's Life of' Cobden. MORISON'S PILLS OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTIi, EUSTON-ROAD, LONDON.—AII persons should know that the above medicine can be sent by post on re ceipt of 30 postage stamps for two boxes, Nos. 1 and 2, 141, size —[A.dvertisement.r Crime in France. 1 The Court of Assizes of the Bas-Rhin tried, the day before yesterday, a man named Steiner, aged 25, on charges of attempt to murder and robbery committed on the 12th May last near Epfig, on the person of a carrier named Joseph. On the above-mentioned Joseph arrived at Itte wilier (Bas-Rhin), on his way to Schlestadt, with a load of poles, which he purposed selling to the hop-growers of that neighbourhood. Not knowing the road, he inquired his way at a public-house, and the prisoner immediately said that he was going to the place, and would not only accom pany him but introduce him to several persons who would purchase his merchandise. They accordingly started to gether and had travelled about a league when the prisoner, who was walking behind Joseph, struck him on the head 1 with a largo stone and knocked him down. Ile redoubled his blows till he thought the man was dead, then stole from his person a knife and a purso containing 60fr., and made off. Joseph was, however, only stunned, and, hav ing recovered his senses, ho with difficulty got to the nearest village and gave informa tion which led to the prisoner's arrest on the followi n g day. The evidence of Joseph and other witnesses b ein g conclusive against the prisoner, the jury foun d hi m guilty, but with ext enua ti ng circumstances, and the Court sentenced him to hard labour for life. The Military Tribunal of Paris has just tried the Turco, named Ali-bel-Abbes, of the 2d Regiment o f Algerian Sharpshooters, who, on 2sth June last, killed one of his comrades named Abdel-Kader-ben-Taar in the Garden of the Tuileries. The circumstances of the case, which were given in the journals at the time, are brie fl y and clearly explained in the prisoner's confession, made on the following day to Captain de Lignieres, of his regiment, as follows:—" Last evening I went alone to the Gardens of the Tuileries. I there met two women, and was going to speak to them, when Abdel-Kader-ben-Taar accosted me. The woman asked me why I was nearly white while he was black, and I replied that in Africa there were black fathers and white mothers. A sharpshooter, who, in passing, had heard what we said, remarked to the women, as he pointed at Abdel-Kader, that in our country negroes were bought and sold for money. Abdel- Kader, incensed at this remark, vented his anger on me : he struck me repeatedly, till I fell, and while under his feet I drew my bayonet and struck him as he stooped over me." When asked by the President whether he intended to kill his comrade, the prisoner re , plied that he was furious at having been insulted and thrown down in the presence of women, and that ho thought only of avenging the outrage. He deeply re gretted what he had done, as he had never had any quarrel with Abdel Kader, and did not even know him. After hearing a number of witnesses and counsel for the prisoner, the Tribunal declared him guilty of wilfully wounding, but without intent to kill, and condemned him to five years' imprisonment. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a man named 011ivier, aged 34, on a charge of having in the evening of the 12th Aug. last snatched a porte-monnaie, containing several hundred francs, from the hand of a lady at the moment she was getting into her car riage, on the Boulevard des Italiens. The thief was pur sued and taken a few yards from the spot, but not before he had thrown away the porte-monnaie, which was, how ever, recovered and restored to its owner, who, when the prisoner was brought into her presence, clea r ly id en tifi e d him. In his defence the prisoner asserted that he was inno cent, that he had seen the porte-monnaie snatched from the lady's hand, and was running in pursuit of the real offender, when he was arrested and charged with the theft. Abundant evidence was however produced to prove the falsehood of this statement, and the tribunal accordingly condemned him to six months' imprisonment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

SPORTING NOTES. The above meeptiOn g N v A i l I S T c o E n t m e H nce C AE. tO S - in orrow. There are thirty races to be decided. The Great Yorkshire Handicap has a very fair acceptance. The field will be made up from the following :—Planet, 4 yrs, Bst 121 b ; Ackworth, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; Hippolyta, 4 yis, Bst 51b ; Gra titude, 5 yrs, Bst 41b ; Dalby, 4 yrs, Bst 21b ; Claremont, 4 yrs, Bst llb Dunkeld, 5 yrs, , 7st 121 b ; Nightwatch, yrs, 7st 31b ; Nemo, 4 yrs, ist 21b ; Verdant, 3 yrs, Est 101 b ; Brindisi, 4 yrs, 6st. 91b ; Swordsman, 3 yrs, Est 81b.; La Fortune, 3 yrs, Est 71b ; Holstein, 3 yrs, sst 121 b. Immediately the weights appeared Claremont was selected as the favourite from the close run he made with Verdant in the Ebor Handicap. He has now 51b the best of the weights with the latter, and, from the improvement the horse has made since, he is bound to finish in the front rank, if he does not turn out the actual winner. Ackworth, from his easy victory over Success and Pearl Diver, must have a great chance, but he had better be left alone at present, as he has lately become very fishy in the market, otherwise he would have been one of my selections. Hippolyta ran well last year, has 21b less to carry than Ackworth, and was always considered to be better than Breeze at level weights. The most dangerous of the light division are Brindisi, Swordsman, and Holstein. Swordsman will be ridden by J. Grimshaw, and if this is his journey in preference to tine Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire he will be difficult to dispose of. Holstein has now superseded his stable companion Brindisi in the market, but I would rather trust the latter. The winner, however, will be either CLAREMONT or Ilipron - TA. The Glasgow Stakes Chibisa or Lord of the Vale will win ; and the Filly Stakes Gretna will have no difficulty in securing. Queen of Trumps or Liddington will win the Revival Plate. Primate and Lord Lyon are the most trustworthy pair in the Champagne Stakes, giving a slight preference to the former. The great race of the meeting is the St. Leger, which comes off on Wednesday. The field will be very limited, in conse quence of the immense support awarded to Gladiateur, the winner of the Two Thousand and Derby. A strong body of the most noteworthy members of the Pugilistic Associa tion, headed by the celebrated Jerry Noon, have been en gaged as a guard to protect the French horse from any hostile demonstration that may be made at the weighing room. The most of those quoted under are likely to face the starter : HORSE. TRAINER. JOCKEY. Gladiateur T. Jennings H. Grimshaw Regalia C. Peck J. Osborne Kate Hampton C. Peck Wheatley Klarinska ' J.

Goater Gladiateur has beaten every horse in the race, with the exception of Klarinske. and The Duke. His easy victory in the Derby, after being shut in at Tattenham Corner, where he lost several lengths, stamps him as the best throe yr-old of his year. Klarinska and Regalia are about one and the same, as the former won the Yorkshire Oaks and Great Yorkshire Stakes quite as easily as Regalia won the Oaks. Peeress, although she defeated Klarinska at Good wood, must succumb to the latter on the present occa sion. Breadalbane may run a better horse than he did in the Derby, as it is impossible to tell how good he may be, especially considering the parties who had the management of him. Witness the out-and-in running of Blink Bonny in the One Thousand Guineas in 1857, who belonged to the same division, and was backed 1 -sr pounds shillings and pence by the public, but in the race run 110, o—ie. which was won by Imperieuse. Three or four weeks afterwma. Blink Bonny carried off the Derby, and on the Friday following won the Oaks, beat ing Imperieuse by nearly a quarter of a mile. Thou cams the Leger, for which Blink Bonny was made a hot favou rite, but she had to lower her colours to Imperieuse. They may have been fair run races, but " Miles's Boy" is very apt to think otherwise. It is needless to discuss the merits of the other horses engaged, as there really seems only four horses in the race, viz., Gladiateur, Klarinska, Regalia, and Breadalbane.

LEOPOLD APCLINTOCK TO BE A COMMODORE OF THE 2D CLASS AT JAMAICA, in succession to the late Commodore Peter Ora croft, is one which cannot fail to give satisfaction to the service. Sir Leopold has completed his 34th year in the navy, h av ing entered it in 1831. He passed his examina tion for lieutenant in 1838, but, being without political in terest, he was not promoted until 1845. He was advanced to the rank of commander in 1851, and was promoted to be a captain in 1854, owing to his great merits, and in defe rence to the public will. Sir Leopold's career is one of too recent a character to require any fresh notice, but we can not refrain from alluding once more to the happy knack which he possesses in rendering his officers and men com fortable. The Aurora, while under his command, has been an example which may be well followed. She has been always contented and well disciplined—the model of a British man-of-war. We can say nothing higher in praise of her captain and her crew.—Army and Navy Ga zette, INGENIOUS DEVICE.—A gentleman near Ware ham, in Dorset, who has a small field in which there aro crops of carrots and mangold Wurzel with which hares and rabbits have been making free, has put a dog's house in the field for the accommodation of a small puppy. The puppy is loose by day, and he barks all night long. ',Chia effectually scares away the hares and rabbits.
