NONE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Two o'CLocK, In the Foreign and Coionial undertakings there has been little variation of importance.

There is great expectation among the mercantile community that the rate of discount will be reduced per cent. to-morrow. The inquiry for accommo dation is, however, larger than usual when a change is anticipated, and the rates are 3i and 31 per cent. for the best bills. The Transatlantic Steamship Company, requiring a capital of £BOO,OOO in shares of £5O ea c h, w ith a first is sue o f 10,000 shares, has been announced. It is formed for the purpose of running a line of first class steamers from Southampton to New York, and it is also contemplated eventually establishing a line from the Continent of Europe, via Southampton, to New York, as soon as an opportunity shall present itself. It has been notified that the share list of the York House Hotel Company (Bath) will close on the 13th inst., for town and country. The Anglo-Austrian Bank has notified that it will be prepared to pay on and after the 15th September out of profits of the current year the sum of 3s. per share, which is equal to 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax. The directors desire to explain that the rate of the present payment has been fixed at 5 Per cent. (instead of 6 per cent. as paid in October, 1864) solely in order to conform to the terms on which the shares of the bank are dealt in on the Vienna Bourse (viz., with 5 per cent. accruing on them). At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 6 9f. 15c. Agitated. The favourable weather for the harvest in the north, whence good accounts are received of the crops, and the prospect of a lower value of money induce confidence, and the English Stock Market, consequently, indicates firmness. The Funds have improved fully f per cent., Consols for money being 90e, and for October, 904 4. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89f ex div. ; Exche quer Bills, 2s. dis. to 2s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 104. No material alleration is shown in the prices of Foreign Stocks, the market for which has been very steady. Turkish Consolides are 48/1 s ; Mexican, 24i ; the New Loan, 231 ; Greek, 204 21 ; Spanish Passive, 301 ; Certificates, 141 15 ; Italian, 644 65 ; and the Confederate Loan, 6 7. American Securities show firmness. United States' Government 5-20 , Bonds, soi ; Erie Shares, 54 ; and Illinois, 781 91. The operations in the Raiway Share Market have been rather numerous, and prices in several instances have shown increased firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire, have advanced £1 ; Metropolitan, and North Eastern (Berwick), each 15s. ; Midland, 10g., and Great Eastern, ss. SHARE MARKETS—This da: ORDINARY MATES AND STOCKS.

The 85th annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science commences here to-morrow, and promises to be as successful as any of its preceding yearly gatherings. The principal hotels are filled with visitors, but of a different class from those who are ordi narily attracted here by the numerous trades and occupa tions of Birmingham. Already you see in the neighbourhood of the Exchange, in New-street, and in the other leading thoroughfares, groups of members of the association, whose style and air of repose mark them out from the busy crowd around. At this beautiful season of the year Birmingham is by no means the first place to which a tourist, seeking health or recreation, would direct his steps. Still, though the town cannot boast of being picturesque, nor of having often an unclouded sky, it occupies, in a sanitary point of view, a much more favourable position than many other places more attractive to the eye or possessing a more un adulterated atmosphere. Besides, much has been done of late years to improve the external appearance of this great centre of the hardware trade. A taste for architecture has sprung up, and extends not only to the public buildings of recent erection, but also to the new shops, many of which may now almost bear favourable comparison with the best in Regent-street or Oxford -street in the metropolis, and what is scarcely less important, the atmosphere is much less impregnated with smoke than it used to be. This desirable result can hardly be attributed to diminution in the number of mills and factories, as the town was never more prosperous or busier ; still less is it probable that the manufacturers have, out of regard for the lungs and noses of the philosophers who are now in vading the borough, put out or toned down their. furnaces. The more likely solution of the matter is, that in London the principle of the smoke-consuming apparatus is now generally introduced in all the great factories and work shops in the town. The association has taken possession of the assembly room of the Exchange, and converted it into a reception room, or rather made it the headquarters of the institution for the forthcoming week. Here a post-office has been improvised, with every accommodation for conducting epis tolary correspondence, and here is to be found a numerous staff of civil and polite officials prepared to give informa tion about lodgings, excursions, railway passes, the busi ness of the sections, and every conceivable subject relating to the proceedings of the association or the comfort of the members. The number of tickets - issued up till to-day is very large, and of these no less than 250 have been taken by ladies. The president at this meeting of the association is Pro fessor Phillips, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S., and the Pro fessor of Geology in the University of Oxford. The objects of the British Association, the prospectus states, are to give a stronger impulse and more systematic direction to scientific inquiry ; to promote the intercourse of those who cultivate science in different parts of the British empire with one another, and with foreign philo sophers; to obtain more general attention for the objects of science, and the removal of any disadvantages of a pub lic kind which impede its progress. To-morrow morning the general commttee will hold its first meeting in the Lecture Theatre, Midland Institute, for the election of sectional officers and the despatch of the business usually brought before that body. It is expected that this meeting will be enlivened by a discussion upon the claims put forward by the Anthropological Society to a special section. By the existing arrangements they are confined to the geogaphical and ethnological section; but for sometime past they have been urgent for a section to be entirely set apart for anthropology. In antici pation of the renewal of •the claim for a separate section, a cheap work by Mr. Hunt, the president of the Anthropological Society of London, on the meaning of the words "anthropology," "ethnography,'' and " ethnology," has been extensively advertised in the town, and will doubtless prove a welcome aid to some of the Birmingham folks in their effort to understand the merits of the forthcoming discussion. The first general meeting will be held in the Town-hall to-morrow evening, when Sir a Lyell, Bart., will formally resign the chair, and Professor Phillips will assume the presidency and de liver the introductory address, which is looked forward to with great interest. On the following day (Thursday), and also on Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, the different sections will meet from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. On Thursday there will be a soi r é e a t th e T own -hall, a t which scientific instruments, interesting articles of manufacture and of mechanism and geological specimens, will be exhi bited ; and on Friday evening, Mr. J. Beete Jukes, local director of the geological survey of Ireland, will deliver a discourse on the probabilities as to the position and extent of the coal measures beneath the red rocks of the Midland counties. There will be another soirée on Monday, Sept. 11, at the rooms of the Society of Arts, which will accom modate 600 people ; and a third one at the Town-hall on the following day, when microscopes and photographs will be exhibited. The mayor will also, on Monday next, en tertain a party of guests at luncheon in the Town-hall. On the same day the general committee will decide upon the place of meeting in 1866. The concluding general meeting will take place on Wednesday, the 13th inst.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to day was moderate. It was mostly composed of new pro duce, which being for the most part in very middling con dition, sold heavily, at 36s to 48s per quarter. For old wheats the trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on sale. The demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and the quota tions were is to 2s per quarter beneath the late highest point. Floating cargoes of wheat sold slowly, at Monday's rates. Spring corn afloat was firm in price. The market was scantily supplied with barley, in which sales progressed slowly, at late rates. The trade for malt was firm at full currencies. Oats were in fair supply and steady request at quite previous rates. Beans and peas, the supplies of which were limited, moved off slowly at late prices. There was a fair demand for flour at previous quota tions. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch. 990 50 860 90 150 Irish Foreign 12,090 5,580 - 21,130 sks. brls.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was apprehended last night by SeKgeant Hamblin, of the F division, at Camberwell, and the event that led to his cap ture was the fact that one of the watches which formed part of the stolen property was brought into M. Loewen lark*s shop in Garrick-street for repair. The watch in question was purchased from the prisoner by a young man named John NI artin, a barman in the employ of Mr. Fetter, the licensed victualler, whose house nearly adjoins that of the prosecutor's. The watch was detained, and the prisoner was soon afterwards in custody. When the constable took Burgess into custody he at first denied the robbery altogether, but when he in formed him that one of the watches had been discovered in the possession of Martin the prisoner said he knew that ho (Martin) had purchased a watch at his employers' shop, and he supposed he (prisoner) hid not entered the purchase in the book left for that purpose. The property stolen consisted of 16 gold and silver watches, 17 gold chains, and a large quantity of various articles of jewellery, consisting of brooches, rings, pins, and earrings. The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.AN ITALIAN ACTOR CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.—Fran cisco Filippi, an Italian actor, residing at No. 68, Dean street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Alexander Avery, a waiter, at Mr. E. T. Smith's Cremorne Branch Restaurant, Coventry -street. The complainant said—About 11 o'clock last night the prisoner came to Mr. E. T. Smith's Restaurant, Coventry street, and observing that he was intoxicated I told him that he could not be served. I got the prisoner as far as the door, and he then tried to get his arm round my neck. I told him to go away, and he then kicked me violently on the leg, rushed back, and called out " I'm a Spaniard: , Some gentlemen then called'out that he had got a knife in his hand. I slammed the door to, and a constable came up and took him into custody. Sergeant John Wheatley, 291 A, said—l was called by two gentlemen, who told me that murder would be com mitted at the restaurant, a man having drawn a knife to the waiter. I went to the door and found the prisoner there—the complainant holding the door so as to prevent the prisoner going in. At the station a knife-case was found on the prisoner, but no knife. It was just possible the prisoner might have jerked the knife away imme diately on my going up. A person is present who saw him with a knife or dagger in his hand. Wm. Thredgold, a bake; living in Drury-lane, said— I saw the waiter putting the prisoner out. The prisoner struck the waiter once or twice, and then kicked him on the leg. He afterwards took something out of his pocket, and took from it either a knife or dagger. The prisoner—l had no knife. Mr. Knox (to the witness)--Are you sure there was any thing besides the case ? Witness—l am. A woman said tho prisoner had a knife, and I told her it was not a knife, but a dagger. The Prisoner—l have been in this country two years. I dined at a restaurant in Upper Stamford -street yesterday, and drank a good deal. I afterwards met two soldiers and got intoxicated. I remember going to the restaurant and seeing the complainant, but I never drew any knife or dagger. Mr. Knox—lt is a serious thing for a man to go abou in a state of intoxication and to draw a stiletto. I shal fine the prisoner £5 or a month's imprisonment for the as. sault. WESTMINSTER. STRIKE OF LAnounEns.— John Edwards and William Roberts, two labourers, were charged with being drunk and disorderly. Sergeant Barber, 16 B, said that yesterday afternoon he found the two defendants at some new houses being erected in the neighbourhood of Emas-terrace, Ring's-road, Chel sea. Roberts was just getting from. a ladder. Both prisoners were drunk and collected a large crowd of per sons. The foreman of the works informed him that the defendants, who were accompanied by other men, were upon strike, and requested that they might be removed from the building. Witness asked the men to go away and three of them were disposed to do so, but Robarts refused, and the men said they would not go till they got their money. The foreman informed witness that he did not owe them any, for that they had not worked there All then wont away but Roberts, and, as he became mor e violent, witness took him into custody, when the other three men, including Edwards, tried to rescue him. Defendants admitted they were drunk, and made no other answer to the charge. The police said that the foremari of the buildings and the master were now present. Mr. Arnold said he should like it hear the foreman. The foreman stood forward, and told the magistrate that the defendants and the other men by whom they were ac companied were perfect strangers to him. They came to his men yesterday afternoon and wanted them to striko. Mr. Arnold—What is their claim ? Foreman—The labourers want sd. per hour from the builder. Theso men struck from yesterday, and they wanted our men to leave the building. Mr. Arnold observed that as the men were only charged with drunkenness he should fine them ss. each or commit them for four days. The master builder said that a great number of men had turned out this morning, and the thing was becoming rather serious. Mr. Arnold—lf anything in the nature of intimidation is attempted, and the offenders are brought here, I shall know how to deal with them. Defendants were then brought from the cells, and ordered, after an admonition, to enter into their recogni zances to keep the peace for three months, THAMES. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.--Joseph Charles Picking, who was also called Pickering, described as a foreman and collector, aged 34, of No. 14, Hardwick-place, Commercial road East, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with embezzling £7OO he had received for on account of his em ployers. It was stated by Mr. Bloomfield Burnell, solicitor, and one of the licensing clerks of the division, before the pro ceedings commenced, that the prisoner, who had been high in the confidence of himself and brother, had feloniously appropriated £2,000 to his own use, and that his pecula tions extended over a considerable period of time. Mr. George Burnell, of Great Prescott-street, White chapel and Banstead, in Surrey, said the movements of his brother, Mr. Bloomfield Burnell, were friendly to his, and that they held property in common. Ho was the manager of the property, and the prisoner was foreman of men em ployed on the estate, and also collector of rents. He charged the prisoner with fraudulently appropriating to his own use £7OO he had collected from tenants. He was pre pared with three cases. Mr. Paget said as there must be a remand, he would only go into one case. Mr. Thomas Abrahams, of No. 88, Leman-street, White chapel, produced a receipt for £lO 15s. he had paid to the prisoner for a quarter's rent. Mr. George Burnell—The prisoner has not accounted to me or my brother for the money. Hero is a lady here who paid him money, and he has not given her a receipt. Will you allow me to ask him ? Mr. Paget—No, sir. You cannot be allowed to ask the prisoner anything. Mr. George Burnell---I only want to ask him if he has received the money of the lady. Mr. Paget said the law did not permit any one to put questions to prisoners charged with criminal offences. He would remand the prisoner until Friday next, the Bth of the present month, when the case would be completed. AN ABSURD CHAR:lE.—Richard Henry Moore, a re spectable man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with embezzling moneys he had received for and on ac count of Dr. Budgett, of Whitechapel. In the first investigation of the charge, Mr. John Burgess, physician and surgeon in Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, said the prisoner was in his employ and had charge of a shop in Old Gravel-lane, Rateliff-highway. He intended to sell the business and advertised it. The prisoner answered the advertisement, and he appointed him shop_ man. Mr. Paget said the first part of a case of embezzlement was to prove payment of money. Dr. Budgett said the prisoner's books would prove that. Mr. Paget - said the books would prove no such thing. He was surprised that any police-constable should put a case of embezzlement before him so imperfectly. H e wanted the persons who paid money to the prisoner. That was the most essential part of the case, which must be adjourned for the production of the proper witnesses. Ann Dennis, married woman, of Old Gravel-lane, paid the prisoner 10d. for a bottle of medicine and stuff for a cataplasm on Saturday night. The prisoner —Certainly, you did. I never denied it. Elizabeth Carter, of the model lodging-house,Bowhouse lane, powder. Wapping, paid th e pr i soner three-half-pence for a Mr. Paget—Which I hope did you good. The prisoner —I received the money. Dr. Budgett said the prisoner never accounted to him for the 10d. or the three-half-pence, except—the sentence was not finished. Mr. Budgett, jun., said he was his father's assistant, and the prisoner ought to have accounted to him for llid. The prisoner said he had received it and would pay it over in an hour. The prisoner said he was ready now to pay the money ; he was struck by the doctor. Dr. Budgett—He hit me on the head. Mr. Paget—l discharge this case as absurd, a quar re l evidently between master and man. It will be a very wise thing to hand over the money to the police. The prisoner is discharged. LAW INT. This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE HENRY GURNEY.-THE CATTLE DISEASE. This bankrupt was described as a farmer of Harrow, and to-day was appointed for proof of debts. The amount al ready on the file is £1,200, and the bankrupt ascribes his failure to expenses in the Divorce Court, and losses through the disease attacking his cattle. Debts were proved, and a day named for the next meeting. IN RE LAVERACK.-A COMPANY PROMOTER. This bankrupt was described as late of Walthamstow, secretary to the Stratford Music Hall Company, and to-day was fixed for the first meeting. The debts are small, and the bankruptcy is ascribed to Mr. Laverack's failure in business as promoter of the Shipowners' Live Stock Com- pally, IN RE LIEUTENANT LYNCH. • This bankrupt was described as late a lieutenant in the 2d West India Regiment, and he ascribes his failure to in sufficiency of pay. The debts are about £1,450, and a day was named for the next meeting. IN RE J. E. ➢IATHEWS. This bankrupt Was a surgeon, of 1, Elvaston-place, South Kensington, late of 54, Conduit-street, Regent street. The debts are about £4,300, and several proofs were made, a day being named for the next meeting. . trader debtor summons was heard, in which the figures are large, but, as it is manifestly improper to give the names, no notice was taken of it by our reporter. Several first meetings wore held besides those reported above, but they were of no public interest, one bankrupt stating that he had failed "because he had no money." Railway Accidents. Wolverhampton was nearly being the 'scene of wo serious railway accidents on Saturday night last. Just before the collision happened on the London and North-Western line in that town, already re ported, a train broke down in the tunnel on the Great Western line in the same town by which the station is approached from Birmingham. The Great Western tunnel is on the low level, and is situate within a few hundred yards of the northern ticket platform on the high level of the Stour Valley branch of the London and North-Western station. The train on the Great Western line, which is duo in Wolverhampton from Birmingham at 9.15, was late at most of the stations, and when it arrived at the southern, or Birmingham, entrance to the town tunnel, was half-an-hour late, and had the London express not far behind it. Here the engine alto gether broke down. The guard alighted from his van, and with the nearest switchman ran back some distance to warn the driver of the express of what was before him. The signals at Priestfield's Junc tion also told of an obstacle, and the express, which was due in Wolverhampton at 9.50, was somewhat late. While the guard was away the driver of the broken-down local thought that he could get through the tunnel and put on what little steam he could raise in the hope of doing so ; but he could not move his train many yards, and was brought to a dead lock in the tunnel, which was soon suffocatingly full of steam and smoke, for a tube in the engine had burst, and the boiler had become so heated that the timber framework in which it was set had fired. Tie passengers were naturally greatly alarmed, know ing that the engine of their train was in this condi tion, and that the express followed them. The guard, however, not only had the express fully in formed of what was going on, but also procured the assistance of its engine to push the local train into the station, and all further danger was over. A spare narrow-gauge engine removed the disabled broad-gauge engine and its attendant carriages, and then the express engine returned for its own car riages. The passengers who received injuries by the collision in Wolverhampton on Saturday night are now known to number about 15, and the list, it is supposed, is not yet full, but the additions have not been cases of importance. The case of one of the ladies (Mrs. Pearce, of Oozell-street, Birming ham), still lying at Wolverhampton, assumed an unfavourable appearance yesterday. DROITWICII, Tuesday. A collision between a passenger and a goods train (briefly telegraphed last night) took place on the West Midland section of the Great Western Rail way, about a mile from the town, yesterday after noon. Happily, however, it has been unattended with loss of life, although several persons have been seriously injured. It should be explained that this portion of the Great Western line forms also a loop line for the Midland Railway, uniting with the Bris tol and Birmingham branch at Stoke Works and at Abbotswood, the Midland train diverging from the old Bristol and Birmingham line and running on the Great Western through Worcester. At Wor cester most of the Great Western Midland trains are so timed as to exchange traffic at that city. The accident happened through a Midland passenger train running into a Great Western goods train. It seems that the Midland train leaving Birming ham at 2 p.m. for Bristol departed without waiting for the passengers from the north, the train thence being behind time. On its arrival about a quarter to 3 p.m., a special was put on to take the Midland passengers on to Worcestershire, and this train ar rived at Droitwich at about 3.30. There the driver was informed that a Great Western goods train was travelling in front of him to Worcester, and a cau tion ticket was given to him. After a stoppage at Droitwich of about ten minutes, he proceeded with his train towards Worcester, but had not gone above a mile when, in turning a sharp curve, he saw the goods train, which had broken down, standing on the line. He immediately reversed his engine, but a collision was inevitable, and the engine of the passenger train dashed into the rear of the goods train, smashing four or five trucks, and scattering the contents about the line. Fortunately, notwith withstanding the severity of the collision, the pas senger train did not leave the rails, but the passen gers themselves were severely shaken, cut, and bruised. Dr. Rodin of Droitwich and other medi calmen were qu i c k ly on the spot, and the passenger train was taken along the down line to Worcester, where they were properly cared for. The chief sufferers were Mr. Hardwick, a commercial tra veller, who has a deep cut on the head, and Mr. Oddy, cut face, both of these travelling to Bristol ; Assistant-Surgeon Adsett, Royal Artillery, injured head and face ; miss Green, Gloucester, severe bruises. Lord and Lady Carnarvon were passengers in a first-class carriage, but escaped without injury. Lady Carnarvon's maid, travelling second-class, sustained severe injuries on the forehead. The in juries to the other passengers were chiefly bruises. It appears the cause of the goods train breaking down was that one of the waggons got off the line and the wheels broke from it and run on the other bar of rails. As soon as the train was stopped, the guard and driver, knowing there was a train nearly due on the other line, directed their attention to the removal of the wheels, as they were not aware of the special train travelling behind them. Therefore they used no precaution against a collision on their own line of rails. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

Mr. H. Gorringe, the High Constable of Lewes, rode over to his premises at Fide, and while engaged inside employed a boy to hold his horse. At the same time two boys, ono of whom is named Minter, were playing in the street, a part of their sport being a race backwards ; while at this fun they approached Mr. Gorringe's horse, and Minter, in swinging a large stick he had to strike the other boy, un fortunately smote the horse on the haunch. The animal let out with his hind legs, giving Minter a tremendous blow with his heels. Minter cannoned against the other boy, and they both bit the dust. They were picked up bleeding very much, Minter being quite insensible, and apparently lifeless. Mr. Gorringe mounted his horse and rode in hot haste to Lewes, to procure the assistance of Mr. Wicksteed, surgeon, who immediately returned with him. He ascertained that the horse had struck Minter on the thigh, which was severely bruised, although the bone was not broken. He had also sustained a fearful blow on the chest, and his face was much cut about, both of which last named injuries were doubtless occasioned by coming in contact with the ground. The other lad had a broken nose and both eyes blackened. The necessary treatment was applied, and we are glad to hear that when visited by Mr. Wicksteed on Sunday they were doing very well .in deed.—Surrey Standard. 261 i 1041 4 ,ITIES.

Rounding the turn into tho straight Sisyphus ran on the inside of the post and was immediately stopped, and the run ning was then taken up by General Hess, who was headed at the distance by Wynnstay, who won in a canter bya length and a half, half a length separated the second and third. Trapeze was fourth, close up, and Longboat, who ran past Idler and Sisyphus at the stand, finished fifth.

Helen jumped away with a clear lead of True Heart, the pair being followed by Alabama, next the rails, and Dun keld, in whose rear came Buckfoot and Pirate, and to these succeeded Dr. Syntax and Stanton. These positions were retained past the Stand, but as they proceeded up the hill Alabama joined the leaders, and the rearmost horses gra dually improved their positions, and ran in a body into the bottom. On entering the meadows Helen and True Heart dropped away beaten, and were passed in succession by Dr. Syntax, who, on reappearing, held a slight lead of Buckfoot, the pair being clear of Stanton, the favourite, and Pirate, who ran nearly abreast to the three-quarter mile west, where the two leaders drew away, and raced for the lead into the straight. Here Buckfoot appeared to have the best of it, but Fordham bided his time until they reached the enclosure, where he obtained a slight advan tage, which he retained to the end, and won after a fine finish by a neck. There were three lengths between the second and third ; Helen finished fourth, Alabama fifth, and Pirate sixth. A long way in their rear came True Heart and Dunkeld.

They ran thus to the three-quarter mile post, where the latter, having headed Mr. Brayley's colt, took his place at the girths of Ackworth, the pair running together to the distance, where the favourite shook off his antagonist, and cantered in the winner by half-a dozen lengths. Success, who was stopped half way up, trotted in a long way in the rear. The AYon Stakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 30 sovs added; 2-yr-olds, ist ; 3-yr-olds, 9st ; fillies and geldings allowed 31b.

The qUotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per raille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 178. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-foths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.7 k per £1 stcrlin.2. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, nearly 2-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1092 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of go'd from the United States.

POLYGRAPHIC HALL.—On - Monday next Mr. and Mrs. Gourlay make their debut in a new Scottish entertainment, entitled " Mrs. M‘Gregor's Levee." Mr. Gourlay is well known as a first-rate actor, and from the thorough artistic manner in which he played the arduous role of " Bailie Nicol Jarvie" at Covent Garden Theatre some few years ago, there can be no doubt that a rich treat is in store for his patrons. As a comedian he was limited in speech, but next week, having a clear stage, he can tell his anecdotes in his own way, and thereby further enlighten us as to the daily doings of our Celtic neighbours. THE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN THE LONDON -1 ROAD.—INQUEST.—This (Wednesday) morning Mr. W. J. Payne held an inquest in the board-room of St George's workhouse, on the body of Jane Nathan, who perished in the fire that occ urre d i n her father's premises, on the night of Sunday last. Henry Jenning, conductor of the Newingt on - causeway fire-escape of the Roya Society, said that h e was called to the fire in Mr. Nathan's premises, forming two houses in the main road. No one had then entered the houSe. A police-constable was then at the door. The fire then appeared to be in the basement and ground-floor shops. He pitched his machine, got into the second floor, found one child, which he got out. The room was full of smoke and quite hot. He went in again and got another out through the window on the right side of the shops, and also another child. He went in search of others, but he could not find any, and he was, owing to the density of the smoke, obliged to get out by the back. After some further evidence the inquiry was adjourned. A. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.—Mr. Carter, coroner for Surrey, held an inquest yesterday re. specting the death of Sarah Ann Scott, who had been kicked to death by Henry Hickman, with whom she lived. The evidence was similar to that which was given before the magistrate at the Southwark Police -court on Monday. After some deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Henry Hickman for feloniously kill ing and slaying Sarah Ann Scott. The coroner issued his warrant for the detention of the prisoner in Horsemonger lane Gaol until his trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. It was stated that the deceased woman drank on an average £1 worth of gin every week. She was in the habit of boiling water for the workmen in the Ber mondsey factories for their teas, at one penn yv Peri-0111127 1 `THE M URDER OF M AJOR DE .
