MONEY MARKET AN fl OurinTERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The desire of baukers, merchants, and others to have large balances at the end of the quarter when the balances are struck very naturally creates a stro ng demand for accommodation. Among the numerous applicants for assistance at the Bank are several brokers, who are also in want of money. The rate in the open market is therefore firm at 3 per cent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank Yesterday. The share list of the Steam Biscuit and Flour Company will be closed on Monday next for Lon don, and on Tuesday for country applications. The West London Docks and Warehouses Com- Pany have made a call of £2 per share payable at the Bank of London on the 21st July. The Metropolitan Ice Company (Limited) is to he wound up, and the Master of the Rolls has ap pointed Mr. John Lovering, accountant, official The Finance Committee of the Corporation of the City of London have invited proposals for the oeeond issue of City Debenture Bonds of £200,000, ol sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, or £lOO each, for periods of not less than eleven, or more than eighteen years, bearing interest at the rate of 4f per cent.

(Before Mr. Register Brougham.) IN RE J. E. TYRIE-A LATE MEMBER OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE AND HIS LIABILITIES. This bankrupt was described as late of the Stock Ex change and Knight's Hill, Norwood, a stock jobber, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The claims already on the file amount to nearly £22,000, of which, however, a large amount is disputed. Amongst the credi tor are—Mr. Elmslie, solicitor, of Lombard-street, ..£l,OOO ; Messrs. Fortnum and Mason, Italian warehousemen, &c., Piccadilly, £lOO ; Mr. Fellowes, gentleman, St. John's wood, £250 ; Mr. Edward Lewis, attorney, Great Marl borough-street (amount disputed), £2,200 ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, bill discounter, Lombard-street, £375; Mr. Stehu' Old Corn Exchange, £1,000; Sovereign Life Office, about £378 ; Mr. Turner, solicitor, Lincoln's-Inn- Fields, £1,000; trustees under the estate of the late Mr. Maudsley, £2,000 ; Mr. Trollope, upholsterer, Parlia ment-street, £3OO ; Mr. Bainbridge, Winchester, £6,000 ; and the bankrupt states that he gave bills for this amount, to be discounted to help him to pay off other loans, but has received no consideration for theni. The following tailors figure as creditors :—Messrs. F. Barker and Co., 70, Corn hill, £75; Mr. Games, Finch-lane, £7O; Mr. Smallpage, 43, Maddox-street, £6OO. The bankruptcy is ascribed to the petitioner's•having been sued on bills for which he had no consideration. THE COMMISSIONER'S ADVICE TO COUNSEL. During the progress of a case, Mr. Sargood and Mr. Robertson Griffith had a trifling altercation upon some unimportant matter, and his Honour said that he wished counsel would really confine their attention to the business before the Court, as a great deal of time was wasted in private quarrels which were most uninteresting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) TEBB V. LEE-AGENTS AND LAWYERS-A LITTLE PRO FESSIONAL SCENE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an auctioneer, against his porter, to recover damages alleged to have been incurred in consequence of the defendant's having delivered a wrong article to one of the bidders at a public sale. Plaintiff came to the court attended by an agent, who, greatly to the indignation of the attorneys regularly prac tising in the court, occupied a seat at the registrar's table, and held in his hand a bundle of papers. In the course of the case the two legal gentlemen alluded to expressed their annoyance whenever the agent interfered, and upon one occasion his Honour asked for a paper, which the agent said he had mislaid. Again a muttered objection was taken to his addressing the court, and the judge having occasion to leave the bench for a few moments, one of the attorneys, who appeared to be unable to restrain himself any longer, rose and exclaimed somewhat imperatively (pointing at the same time to the agent), " Who is that gentleman ? Is he an attorney ?" Before any answer could be given to that question, Attorney (No 2) broke in with, "Ah ! who is that per son ? I should very much like to know who he is. (To the agent, in a loud voice) —Who are you, sir? I should very much like to know who you are." Mr. Wilson (the registrar)—He is an agent. Attorney (No. 2) —What right has ho to occupy that seat. Attorney (No. 1)—I shall object to his remaining in that seat any longer. Mr. Wilson—He is not standing by the side of the plain- but merely sitting down. I have given him permission to occupy that chair. Attorney (No. 2) —Then I object, and say it would not be allowed at Clerkenwell. Attorney (No. 1) —He must not occupy that seat any longer. 1 call upon you, sir, to retire. Agent (smiling)—Oh !I am sure I have no wish to in trude at all. Mr. 'Wilson—You can remain where you are. Attorney (No. 2) —Indeed he cannot. I say it is most improper and unfair to the legal profession. That chair is not a proper place for any agent to sit in. Attorney (No. 1 (with great warmth)—l call upon the agent to retire from that seat. The Agent—Oh, I am sure I will retire. The agent then left the chair, notwithstanding that the registrar desired him to remain, and took a seat behind that apportioned to the legal profession : the case resulting in a verdict for the defendant.

Selling, a groom, living at 3, Chester mows, Belgrave-square, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, with stabbing Anno Williams, who described herself as employed in army works, and also with assaulting Police-constable George Wilson, 156 C. The prosecutrix said -Last night as I was walking along Berkeley-street, the prisoner and five or six others came up to me,• and one of them said, " Where are you going to-night ? Will you have a drop of gin ?" She to fu ed, stating that she was going to see her aunt, and one of the men then pulled up her clothes,•and the prisoner took out a knife and stabbed her in the side of the head, wounding her and saturating her with blood. Mr. Mansfield—Where was your head dressed ? Prosecutrix—At the station-house, by the surgeon. Mr. Mansfield—Did you know the men before ? • Prosecutrix—No, Sir. Mr. Mansfield—How do you get your living ? ,prosecutrix—By army work sewing. Police-constable George Wilson, 156 o—Between two and three this morning the prosecutrix came up to me and complained of having been stabbed with a knife. I asked if she know who had done it, and she said she should know the person, again. As I was taking her towards the hospital we saw a number of men who had been drinking at the corner of Dover-street, and the prosecutrix pointed out the prisoner as the man who stabbed her. He denied it. The men were about 100 yards from where the prosecutrix first spoke to me. The prisoner had been drinking, but was not drunk when I took him into custody. Mr. Mansfield—Was the prosecutrix sober ? '..lonstable—Not quite, Sir. While on the way to the station-house, and while I was speaking to the prosecu trix, the prisoner tried to get away, tripped me up, and we both fell. Another constable came to my assistance, and wo got the prisoner to the station. I found a knife in his possession. Mr. Mansfield—Were there any traces of blood on it, or on the prisoner's hands ? Constable —There were not, sir. Mr. Mansfield —Is there any certificate from the doctor? Constable—No, sir. Mr. Mansfield—There ought to be a doctor's certificate in all cases of stabbing. I will remand the prisoner for seven days; but as there is no witness to the matter, and the case rests entirely on the evidence of the prosecutrix, I will take two sureties in .450 each for the prisoner's ap pearance in a week. RETURNING FROM CREMORNE.—Harriett Watkins, about 20 years of age, wearing a white figured silk dress, a white crape shawl, and a turban hat with a largo white feather, and whose appearance was somewhat that of an Oriental Sultana, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with wilfully damaging the hat of Mr. Wm. Thomas, gentleman, residing at 43, Albemarle-street. Mr. Thomas said—The prisoner accosted me in Albe marle-street between 2 and 3 this morning. I met with a constable and asked him to see the prisoner away. He declined to do so, saying he was not on duty. The prisoner tried to prevent me going into my hotel. The porter then came out, and the prisoner seized my hat and kicked it against the railings, smashing it so that it is not worth anything. What I object to is the treatment I received. Prisoner —He brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home, and because he would not keep his word I took his hat. Mr. Thomas—Oh! that is not the case. She rode inside the cab with two friends of mine, but I was outside. Mr. Mansfield—Then you did not bring her from Cremorne ? Mr. Thomas—Oh, no, it was my friends. Prisoner—You and your friends brought me from Cremorne and promised me a cab home. Allwood, 186 C—l saw the complainant and the prisoner struggling together. The complainant could not get his hat away, and the prisoner smashed it. Mr. Mansfield ordered the prisoner to pay 10s. for the damage, and a fine of 55., or 14 days in default, THAMES. A LORD OF TILE CREATION.—MURDEROUS ASSAULT. — Henry Waters, described as a runner to an outfitter, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Ann Smith, whose appearance in the witness box created great sympathy and indignation. Her face was contused and swollen, and her eyes blackened. She was very ill and weak from loss of blood. The prisoner and the complainant have been cohabiting together for some time as man and wife, and their con nexion has been a most unhappy one. The prisoner has frequently beaten the complainant, and on one occasion he broke her arm. She was under medical treatment in the London Hospital. She forgave him that outrage. Yester day evening, when he came home, his , tea was not ready, and he expressed his displeasure, and said he expected his meals to be ready when he came home—that he was lord and master of the house, and that he would be obeyed. Some words ensued, and the prisoner kicked and beat the woman in a savage manner about the head, face, and body. She escaped from the house, covered with blood, and made known her ill-usage to Adam Carr, a police-constable, No. 40 H, who went to the house, and found the prisoner in bed and asleep. The prisoner said he was greatly provoked and abused by the woman, and that she was continually using a very foul tongue. Mr. Partridge—Why do you live with her ? You have ill-used her More. You are a great brute. I sentence you to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY. The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Postmaster-General Bill was read a second time. Mr. HIBBERT introduced the Capital Punishment within Gaols Bill, intimating that it would be introduced in the new Parliament.

The Turnpike Acts Continuance. Bill was read a third ime and passed. The Colonial Docks Loans Bill was read a third time and passed. The Lords' amendments to several bills were considered and agreed to. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 1. STATE OF TRADE. MANCIIESTER, June 17.—The business for yarns n the export market to-day has not been large. 'The difficulty is caused chiefly by the advancing tendency of the raw material and the consequent high prices which spinners are obliged to ask. There are plenty of orders in the market, but not available at the extreme prices required by spinners. A fair business has been done by those who have been willing to meet buyers on rather easier terms, but the market closes rather tame. In the home trade market the extreme rates demanded by spinners also check business. .Manufacturers are unable to pay the prices asked without incurring great loss upon the cloth to be made from the yarns offer ing, and this alone keeps them from operating. In the cloth-market sellers say we have not for some days past found buyers willing to follow the advances required by manufacturers, and which they are compelled to ask in consequence of the higher prices of yarn and cotton. A fair busi- ness has been done in re-sale lots, bought on spe culation when prices were lower, and now offering on easier terms than manufacturers can afford. There has, indeed, been as much cloth offering for resale to merchants under such circumstances as from other sources of supply. The position' of the manufacturer is rendered worse by this state of things, and it has been quite impossible for them to obtain orders at prices which would at all approach to remunerative rates. The India accounts are of a nature to discourage shipments to that quarter. They are from Calcutta to the 19th, and Bombay to the 20th At Bombay, 71b. shirtings were sell ing at 14s. per piece, which is the price which manufacturers demand for them in the Man chester market, and as shipping and other charges would be upwards of 3s. (say, 35 per cent.), purchases to ship would be attended with loss. Nearly all the goods purchased recently have been taken for speculation, and will probably have to comp into the market for resale. To-day our quotations have been necessarily rather higher (from the still upward progress of cotton and yarn), but there have been very few offers making for cloths suited to any market. Buyers, indeed, are disposed rather to offer less than give more, and the transactions have been few and of small amount. LEEDS, 27th.—The markets in the cloth halls this morning have not been characterised by much ac tivity, the attendance of buyers being rather limited, and their operations not being extensive in any par ticular kind of goods. Still, though purchases were miscellaneous, the aggregate amount of business done was not much less than is usual for Tuesday's market. Plain cloths of good make are in fair demand, and thick goods for Canada and the United States are moving off, so that there is little or no accommodation going on either in the halls or in the hands of the manufacturers. The latter are mostly in full employment, and they are able to keep prices steady. Indeed, from the recent ad vance in the prices of wool those of goods have more an upward than a downward tendency. NOTTINGHAM, 27 th.—There was a moderate at tendance at this Exchange-hall to-day. The demand for lace yarns was steady, and the full rates of last week were made. A t o l era bl e amo unt of business was done in hosiery y arns, and previous rates, were well supported. Silk s fi rm l y ma i n tained the rates of last week. Bro wn nets h a d a mo d er ate sale, and prices underwent no important alteration. ROCHDALE, 26 th.1Although there has not been the activity to-day which is sometimes seen at our market, there was a sound and buoyant feeling. Both in the plain and fancy department sales were effected without difficulty and to a fair extent. Since our last report, too, the condition of things has been satisfactory, both to the merchants and manu facturers. Buyers, however, are unable to explain the extremely high price still demanded. The popu lar notion some time ago was that when the cotton market approached to anything like its normal state it would powerfully influence the prices of woollen goods in favour of the buyer. This, however, has not proved the case, but rather otherwise, for most good kinds of wool Pre now dearer than they were before the recent London sales of colonial fleeces began. There was more inquiry to-day for the superior kinds of Yorkshire goods, which fetch ex treme prices, but woollens of a lower class are rather a drug in the market, and prices are not b l y any means firm. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. FERGUSON.—The death I of Dr. Robert Ferguson took place, after a few hours' illness, on Sunday, at his residence, Ascot Cottage, Wink field, near Windsor. He was taken unwell at 10 o'clock that morning, and was dead at 6 o'clock. The late Dr. Ferguson was in his 65th yoar. He received his medical education at Edinburgh, at the medical school of which city he gained much praise. He was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1837, after going through the preliminary grades leading to that proud position in his profession. As far back as 1823 he had obtained the degree of M.D. at Edinburgh. The late Dr. Fergusonwa s a phy s i c i a n extraor dinary to tha Queen, and physician- accouc h eu r to her Majesty throughout her confinements.

The amount of surplus land tax paid over to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, pursuant to the Act 24 'and 26 Vic., c. 91, was £54,544 3s. 4d. " A Florence letter," says the Siecle, " states that the strike of the Paris cab-drivers has exercised some in fluence on the similar class in the Italian capital, the saucy independence of whom is proverbial. A deputation of these men having gone to the authcrities and claimed the with drawal of a certain tariff, their demand was immediately acceded to. The Mondini Theatre at Verona has just been destroyed by fire. The building had only a few days before been taken by M. Pinta's equestrian company, and the flames broke out in the stables behind the stage. Five horses were burnt, as well as part of an adjoining house, but no person was injured. Viscount and Viscountess Sydney had a select party at dinner last evening at their residence in Cleve land-squares SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OMEAM RACES-TUESDAY. The Hampshire "campaign" opened on Bartley-heath to-day. The attendance was very large—much larger, in fact, than has been known for somo years. The weather, which is generally wet at Odiham during the races, was an agreeable exception, which was enjoyed by the numerous company of ladies who graced the stands and carriages. The influential supporters of the turf and the bookmaking fraternity wero amply represented, the ring being well filled. There were no special features in the racing re quiring comment here ; suffice it to say, the day was gene rally a disastrous one for backers. The principal race of the day, the Odiham Handicap, brought out but four of the 22 "coloured," the winner turning up in the outsider Sur ney, aft.r a good race.

Thor, who refused to join his horses, and was very fractious at the post, caused a long delay, but on the• flag being dropped Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, in the middle of the course, showed in front, followe'd by Portugal and Viper next the rails. Within the distance Viper drew up to Thor, whom he challenged opposite the Stand, but never reaching him, was defeated after a good race by a neck; two lengths separated the second and third.

After a slight delay a good start was effected, the most prominentbeing Opposition, Sweet Anne and Novice, The Squire lying next the rails on the far side of the course, well up, the others nearly in a line, with the exception of Venturous and Maid of Usk, who brought up the rear. They ran thus to the distance, where Sweet Anne and Opposition came out in the middle of the course, but in a few strides Opposition was in trouble, where upon the Squire challenged Sweet Anne, and heading the Marquis of Hastings's filly at the half distance, won a good race by a neck; Opposition was third, two lengths from Sweet Anne; Novice was fourth, Chicken Hazard fifth, and Duchess of St. Albans and Miss Harriette were next, close together.

Surney was very fractious, and bolted out of the course several times, but being led to the post he jumped off with the lead and made play, followed by Harkaway and Basquine, the favourite lying last. After going about three-quarters of a mile Harkaway drew up to. Surney and took the lead for a few strides, after which the pair ran side by side, closely fol lowed by Basquine. Trapeze dropped back some three or four lengths, till near the half mile post, when he drew up, and the gnat - tett entered straight in compact order. Half way up Trapeze was beaten and dropped back, and at the distance the race appeared to rest between Surney and Harkaway, who commenced an interesting struggle, but Basquine coming again (though ridden from the distance) opposite tho stand, headed Harkaway, but never quite reached Surney, who won by a head; Harkaway beaten half a length from Basquine ; Trapeze was several lengths behind the third.

The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of- London met yesterday at the Guildhall, for the despatch of public business. 11. Dc Jersey, Esq., deputy and under-sheriff, the chairman of the commission, presided. THE RECENT FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE n LEADENHALL MARKET. _he Chairman brought up a report from the General Purposb: Committee, to whom it was referred at the last Court, "to I,:quire into the particulars of the late fire in _ . Leadenhall-mart:t, as to whose duty it was to report the same to the district 7:;:uveyor, or other authorities, and whether any neglect or unn,ilessary delay had ocuJrred in taking the requisite measures in thi,3 arid to repot." The committee stated that they had carefully examined the circumstances of the case, and had been atteAed by Mr. John Young, the district surveyor, Mr. Lightfoot, his clerk, and Mr. Jenkins, the beadle of Lang,bourne Ward, whom they had heard upon the subject. Tho committee went at some length into the evidence submitted to them, the substance of which was that the clerk to the district surveyor went to the fire i about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the 15th inst., and found the walls and timber in a very elfingerous state. Tile firemen were then pulling about the ruins, but he warned them to desist as their lives were in dangei, and be also cautioned the people in the vicinity. Immediately afterwards he got Mt. Young's authority to take the necessary steps for securing the walls, and obtained similar power from the surveyor to the Commissioners of Sewers; that he afterwards went to the contractor, Mr. Crook, took him to the ruins, and in structed him" to shore up and board in, which was done early on Friday morning. He further stated that when he communicated with the firemen on Thursday afternoon they stated they would resume their digging when the ruins were made secure, but they never did, and on the Friday he told the firemen that they might work with safety at It part of the ruins, but they did not do so. Mr. Young in formed the committee that he was told by Mr. Oxford that the assurance company would not take any steps because they were informed there was no salvage, and they had made up their minds to a total loss. Mr. Jenkins, the ward beadle, stated that he did not consider it any part of his duty to communicate with the district surveyor when afire took place in the ward; but if be knew of such, and of the ruins being in a dangerous state, he said he should do so as a matter of propriety. He had informed the deputy of the ward on the Friday morning, and had told him of the bodies being buried in the ruins, and he got shells ready to receive them. He saw the place boarded in on Friday, and on Saturday he asked Mr. Pardoe, foreman of the firemen, what he was going to do about the bodies. To that Mr. Pardoe replied, Who is going to pay us for it?' when he (Jenkins) answered, If I were you I would not make a pounds, shillings, and pence matter of it.' Pardoe said ho had his orders from Capt. Shaw not to put any men on un til he knew who would pay the cost. Having considered those statements and examined the facts, the committee re ported that it certainly was not the duty of the district sur veyor in such cases to employ men to dig for the remains of persons supposed to have been buried in the ruins of a fire. The ruins in such case were the property of the owner or of the assurance company, if insured, who, if there was salvage to claim, would undoubtedly prevent any one but their own servants from interfering. In the present case the assurance company, finding there was no salvage, had withdrawn. their men from the work ; and until the Court interfered, from motives of humanity, and directed, under the peculiar cir cumstances, their contractors to dig for the bodies, no ono but the assurance office, or the owners, could have been legally justified in doing so. The committee addedthat thsol were glad to be able to report that there did not appear in the case to have been any delay at all on the part of the _ _ _ district surveyor, or of any of the officers of the Commis sion, in carrying into effect the powers the Court had in reference to dangerous structures. But they were of opinion that the firemen, who, being on the spot, had the earliest knowledge of danger arising from the condition of the ruins, should on all such occasions immediately communicate with the district surveyor, that the proper steps might be taken to secure them." Deputy FARRAR suggested that not only should the fire men be required to give information to the district surveyor in cases of this kind, but that the police authorities should also be asked to give similar information. It . was then decided that a copy of the report should be sent to Capt. Shaw and Col. Fraser, the Commissioners of Police, with a suggestion that they should, in cases of this sort, give immediate information to the district surveyor. At the instance of Deputy SNELLING, it was resolyed— " That the Remembrancer do apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department to procure the insertion of a clause in the bill now before Parliament for constituting a Metropolitan Fire Brigade to render it the duty of such fire brigade on all occasions when persons are believed to have been buried in the ruins of any building destroyed by fire, to dig and search for such persons immediately that it is possible for them to db so." SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETIIEBY reported on the condition of 237 houses that had been inspected during the week, and ho submitted about 50 places for sanitary improvement. He also reported that he had visited the premises of the gated Bread Com pany in Beech-lane, Barbican, and inquired into the matter of the dangerous nuisance arising from the discharge of acid refuse into the sewers, and he found that about one in every six or seven days there was discharged from the car bonic acid generator about half a ton of the spent mixture of whiting and oil of vitriol, which were used in generating carbonic acid gas. The mixture was a little overcharged with sulphuric acid, and this rendered it dangerous to the men in the sewers. Ile therefore recommended that orders be given for the abatement of the nuisance, by the use of a smaller quantity of acid, so that the refuse might be always freed from acidity by an excess of whiting. The suggestion of the medical officer was at once agreed to, and the necessary order was issued accordingly. Dr. LETIIEBY further reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected, and the officers had condemned 3,547 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 4 sheep, 2 calves, 6 pigs, 25 quarters of beef, and 7 joints of meat ; 1,072 lbs. were diseased, 1,758 lbs were putrid, and the rest was from animals that had died from accident or disease.

ST. HELENA.—A letter from St. Helena states that the anniversary of Napoleon's death was cele brated with proper solemnity on the sth. By a remarkable coincidence a vessel earning the staff and Ist Battalion of the 66th English Regiment reached the island on that day. It was by a company of this very regiment, then in garri son at St. Helena, that Napoleon's remains were carried, on the sth May, 1821, from Longwood to the Valley of the Tomb.

BURGLARY AT WOOLWICH. —A most audacious burglary and robbery took place early on Saturday morning in the official mansion occupied by Major-General Wards, Commandant of Woolwich garrison. Notwith standing the constant attendance of a sentry stationed at' the front entrance, the depredators gained admission unob served at the back of the premises, and penetrates noise lessly to the drawing and reception rooms, which they literally stripped, and to the basement floor, whence they carried off property valued at from .£lOO to £5OO, includ ing some relics and heirlooms in family plate and jewellry, besides bank-notes and a small sum of gold. A crowbar and piece of candle were found in one of the rooms, but no trace has been discovered of the stolen property. R AILWAY COLLISION.—In the paragraph pub lished yesterday, giving an account of an accident on a branch line passing through Hatcham New Town, it was inadvertently described as a branch of the South-iastern Railway. The line referred to is not on the South-Eastern, nor is there any connection with it. ARRIVAL OF DR. PRICHARD IN EDINBURGH.—On Monday morning Dr. Pritchard was brought to Edinburgh by the first train from Glasgow, which reached the Waverley-bridge station at 9 15 a.m. He was in charge of a sheriff officer and two assistants, to one of whom he was handcuffed. The passengers in the train had become aware that Dr. Prichard was in one of the carriages, and on the officer alighting with his prisoner a considerable number gathered eagerly round to see him pass upstairs to the street. The prisoner seemed to smile at the curiosity ma ' nifested by the passengers, and talked apparently at his ease to the officer as he proceeded to the cab which was in wait ing at the front of the station. He was at once conveyed to Calton gaol, where he will remain till Monday next, when his trial commences before the High Court of Jos ticiaxy.—Scotsman. NOBLE TRADERS.—Some forty years ago the man about town, one of the most brilliant of dandies, and the idlest and poorest of well-born " fashionables," wedded the daughter of amen in a lucrative but not a dig nified business. The dandy a ddressed himself to master its details, and for 30 years he has himself been at the head of it. There are scores of scions of good stock whose re venues come from the co unting-house, and who make no secret of it. Others are a little ashamed of their position. One of the oldest wholesale and retail firms in London is carried on under names whose owners were gathered to their fathers a century ago. The real proprietors are never seen upon the premises, and the highly salaried niauager of the business is bound never to reveal their names or whereabouts. By-and-bye they will know better and be ashamed of their wealmus.—iithenxvm. 100 10 10 1U
