In tho di scoun t mar k e t t o -d a y th e i nqu i r i es are slightly more active, and a little extra animation is likely to be imparted by the settlement of the ac count in Consols.

During the last few days business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce markets has been rather quiet, but the few passing transactions have in most instances been at full rates. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures are steady at 24 26, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. With regard to the corn market at Birmingham, Mr. W. C. B. Cane states as follows :—Up to Saturday evening weather in this district continued fine ; at night we had heavy rain ; Sunday and Monday it was fine, Monday night very heavy rain, with thunder, which cleared off about nine a.m. Tuesday, at half-past three p.m., we bad a tre ruendons storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which did considerable damage; Wednesday it was fine, but more rain at night ; to-day fine. With the heavy rains above alluded to it is not surprising that markets have hardened, and that millers have Shown SOlllO anxiety to increase their small stocks of wheat, as a very considerable portion of the new crop in this neighbourhood previously intended for the machine and the mill, direct from the field, Must remain for some weeks to become in a lit sta te for g r i n di ng. I h ope b e f ore ano th er wee k to have gained more reliable information as to the A Yi'dd, which at present is far from satisfactory. 't this day's market there was a good supply of wheat for the season, and with an improved de /nand an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. was obtained all kinds, resulting in a very fair business.

The act passed b y M r. Gl a dstone in 1860 no doubt gave the grocers the power of selling wine, but we always looked upon such a provision as one directly and most seriously interfering with the rights of the licensed victuallers, a large and important body of traders, and, at the same time, the most highly taxed class of her Majesty's subjects. It was not to be expected that so influential a body would allow their trade to be so seriously interfered with with out taking some measure of self-defence, and accordingly it has been determined to form a " Licensed Victuallers' Tea Association," the object of which is to supply their customers and the public generally with tea of the finest quality at a considerably lower price, than is now charged by the grocers for an inferior article. The tea will come into the possession of the executive manage ment of the association direct, and thus many inter mediate profits being avoided the retailers of the article will be enabled successfully to enter into a competition which they would have willingly avoided, but which the questionable policy of the grocers has rendered a positive necessity. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. (By Telegraph.) FALmouni, Sept. 6.

BOW-STREET. TIIE TOPIC OF THE DAL—John Reid, a respect able-looking man, who described himself as a linen-draper, was charg e d with assaulting Henry Maunder, one of the porters at the Gower-street Station of the Metropolitan Railway. The complainant stated that about a quarter past 6 o'clock last evening he was on duty at the station when the prisoner came on the platform with some friends, sat down upon a bench, and began coughing violently. It was not like a per son coughing naturally, bat a forced and ludicrous coughing, evidently intended to give annoyance. When re:nonstrated with by his own friends he said " he could not bear the atmosphere"—(a laugh)— and continued coughing so loudly that he might have been heard in the street. Witness told him he really must desist, as he was creating a disturbance at the station. The prisoner still persisted, and witness said if he could not keep quiet he (witness) must eject him from the station. As the prisoner still continued the annoyance, witness proceeded to remove him. He then seized witness by the beard, and tore it out by handfuls. [The witness here added ruefully that Ile " had" a large beard. As now seen it was somewhat scanty, but a great quantity of hair was produced by another porter as having been collected on the platform. It was so obvious that a grievous amount of torture must have been suffered from the wholesale tearing of the beard from the roots that a sort of shudder passed through the crowd of spectators.] The prisoner, who was quite drunk, was ulti mately removed from the station and given in charge. John Woodman, another porter, corroborated the preceding evidence. Isaac Burcham, Police-constable, E 45, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that the latter on the way to the station-house, said, "It is a bad job for me ; I ought to have known better." _ _ The prisoner admitted that he was drunk, but said he was really suffering from a cough, and did not wilfully exaggerate it. It was by pure accident that he tore the complainant's beard, by laying hold of it to save himself from falling. The complainant said that nothing of the kind occurred. Mr. Vaughan believed that the cough was a mere pretence. The prisoner had been some time in court and had shown no sign of any such affliction. it was a most brutal and cruel assault, for it would be difficult to conceive anything more painful than tearing the hair out of a man's beard. He must pay a fine of £3 or be committed for 21 days. The fine was immediately paid. 3IARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT THE PATENT REVOLVING SHUTTER WORKS.—Joseph Dodsworth, a workman in the employ of the Patent Revolving Shutter Works (trading under the style of Clark and Co.), Black Horse-yard, Rathhone-place, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing a quantity of tools from the works. Alr. F , manager of the works, said th atrefdroemrickinfoGrrmafatron he received he followed the prisoner from the works yesterday evening until he got to Brook-street, Euston-road, when he ac costed him, and asked him if he " had not made a mistake and taken something which did not belong to him from tho works. The prisoner said he had not made any mistake, neither had he taken any thing from the works. lle then asked the prisoner if he had any objection to his searching his pockets, and the prisoner then unbuttoned a portion of his vest and took out a stock and some dies, the property of the company. Ile then gave the prisoner into cus tody to an officer he had with him, and went with the officer to the prisoner's lodgings, and there found a quantity of tools of different descriptions, some of which were manufactured expressly for the witness. lie (Mr. Grafton) had had twice be fore to appear against workmen for robberies, and had on each occasion asked for clemency, but he now found that in doing so he had made a mistake, for it had not checked robberies being committed, £3O worth of brass having been stolen during the last few days ; -and he had therefore to a-k that the prisoner might be punished with the extremity of the law as an example to the other men employed, about 300 in number. Police-constable Carter, 117 E, gave similar evidence to Mr. Grafton. Mr. Grafton asked that the case might be dealt with summarily. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for six months with hard labour. TrumEs. A chieffCoAra CASE.--TILE mate ET I . y n elateß . Snip COPSE.--Mr.Henry l of the ship Copse, applied to Mr. p —aelE summons against Mr. H. Cross, s hipowner, of No. 178, Ch ester - roa d , Bishopwear mouth, for refusing to p ay hi m a b a l ance o f wages, LARD ge D t amounting to £32 lls. Mr. Hyne said there were nine other seamen in the same predicament as himself. He joined the Copse at Plymouth on a voyage to Venice or any port in the Mediterranean, North America, West Indies, and back again to any port in Great Britain. Mr. Paget—At what wages ? Applicant—At five guineas per month. The cap tain was put in irons by the crew for stabbing Henry Crickmore, the cook and steward, on the 21st, and again on the 31st July, at sea, a few hours' sail from Lisbon. The ship was taken into Lisbon and detained there by the British Consul, who sent the captain home a prisoner, and sent the crew home as witnesses. He had been here since the 17th of August and had not received a farthing wages. He had to maintain himself. He had written to the owner for his wages, and payment was refused. Neither ship nor owne r was h ere . Mr. Paget said he The applicant would help the crew if he could. must go to Sunderland and sue the owner there. Mr. llyne said ho had not the means of reaching Sunderland. Mr. Paget said the British Consul had thought p r oper to stop the ship an d sen d h ome th e cap t a i n, m ate, and crew. Il e h a d i nvest i ga t e d th e case fully, and was satisfied Criekmore was labour ing under a delusion, and that he had not been wounded by Captain Orwin, the master of the Copse, at all. . _ Mr. Hyne—Yes he did, sir ; he made two at tempts in the night time to murder him and cut his throat on the first occasion. Mr. Paget—Yes, he impressed you with the same belief as himself. He was undoubtedly in sane ; he stabbed himself. I took great pains with the case, and I am satisfied with the captain's inno cence. Mr. 'Tyne—There was no one in the cabin on s e a it l l v ie t r b o a c t ca m s y io s n elf b . ut the captain and Crickmore. I Mr. Paget—lie impressed y ou with the same delusion as himself. I cannot help y ou a t a ll . Mr. llyne—There was no complaint against me. The Consul sent me to London, and I ought to have my wages. There are the poor men here starving. Mr. Paget—l cannot help you. The owner is out of my jurisdiction, and the ship is not hero. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF SYSTEMATIC AND EXTENSIVE PLUN DER.—George Rymer was placed at the bar charged Barker,M t• . Rogers, an o t i o i e f r 8 with stealing a gold watch, a quantity of jewellery, and a great number of other articles of considerable value, Vauxhall yl'oung man, t ; h a e nd George property o f was charged with feloniously receiving part of the property, well-knowing the sane to have been stolen. Mr. Smyth, solicitor, °pond the case for the pro secution, and afterwards called witnesses in support of the statement. lie said the prisoner Rymer lodged in the house of M. Rogers up to the 30th ult. For some time past a great number of articles had been stolen, and on the 26th the prosecutor, during Rymer's absence, entered the room he occu pied and there found pawnbrokers' tickets relating to part of the missing property. On the 29th ult. a box, containing a great quantity of jewellery, was broken open in Mr. Rogers' first floor front room. Rymer was there that day, and the duplicates of part of the property were subsequently sent by him to the prosecutor in an impudent letter stating that when he (prosecutor) had overhauled his things he had missed these tickets. Rymer, when apprehended, was found wearing one of the articles of the stolen jewellery, and was possessed of others. As against Barker, it was alleged that he was found in Rymer's room, where part of the stolen property was discovered ; that he had ad mitted pawning a gold watch, and that it could be shown he was found dealing with other parts of the stolen property. Barker, who said that his family was respectable, denied that he had admitted pawning the watch, or that he had had any knowledge of the robbery, or knew anything about the property. The prisoners were remanded, bail in £lOO to be accepted for Barker. Atlantic Telegraph Company. MEETING THIS DAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was held this morning, at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street ; Sir C. M. Lampson in the chair. The Secretary having read the report, which has already appeared in The Sun, The CHAIRMAN said that he should have to address the meeting through the illness of their chairman. That gentleman evinced great interest in the undertaking, and he wassorry that he was absent. It would be necessary to call them together again in Oct. or Nov., and, therefore, he should be as brief as possible. He would direct their attention to the financial sheet. They would find that if it had not been that they had to bear two accidents to the cable of 1866, both it was believed the result of crushing by an iceberg, their receipts would have been larger. These, however, he did not think were likely to occur again. The next point he would allude to was the reduction of the tariff, but he did not think, however impatient the public were for this reduction, they would begrudge the amount of £24,000 put aside by the dues. They had entered into negociations with the Anglo-Ameri can directors for the purpose of a lowering of the tariff, and on the 15th of August the Atlantic Telegraph Company wrote to the Anglo-American Company setting forth the proposed amount of reduction, but these concessions were negatived by the Anglo-American Company. The chairman then called upon the secretary to read the corres pondence on the subject, which was very volu minous. The CHAIRMAN then resumed, and said that the proposal of the directors of this company was almost in accordance with the opinion of Mr. Seward, the chairman of the Anglo-American one. He wished that they should send a message for £5. They had, it would be remembered, first charged £2O, and had reduced that to £lO. It was wished to send as cheaply as possible all messages, and the communications of the press at half price. It was proposed by the Anglo-American that 7s. 61 should be deducted per word, which would bring down a message to £2 10s. This he thought the share holders of that company would not allow, and he did not consider that it would suit them. They must reduce the price, in his opinion, gradually. The shareholders only now received a small pittance, and they must be very cautious how they proceeded, but nevertheless he trusted that some arrangement might be come to which would be advantageous to both companies. Ile would remind them that they had had only one year's experience with regard to the receipts, and if they glanced at the financial statement they would find that there had been great fluctuation. He would urge upon them that, under such circumstances, it, would be very unwise to accept this proposition of 78. 6d., and he was quite sure that it would not enable the Anglo-American to pay 5 per cent. Ile trusted that on the recovery of the chairman the matter might be adjusted. One thing more he had to tell them, and that was with regard to an Act of Parliament which they had obtained, and which enabled them to borrow as much capital as they might require. lie concluded by moving the adoption of the report, and that 4 per cent: dividend be paid on the 8 per Cent. Con solidated Preference Stock. ASIIAREHOLDER said that if he understood rightly, the Atlantic Company thought the reduction of the tariff too much on the part of.the Anglo-American. The CHAIRMAN said they would reduce it 78., whereas the Anglo-American wished to lower the tariff 7s. 6d. Their own company wished to send no message under five guineas. The report was then seconded, and carried unanimously. Aftcr a voto of thanks to the chairman, the meA ing terminated. MARKETS.---This day. MARK LANE. Scarcely any old English wheat was on sale here to-day, and the supply of new was only moderate. Owing chiefly to the changeable state of the weather the demand for both red and white qualities ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday. The imports of foreign wheat having exceeded 25,000 quarters, the- show of samples was good, and sales pro gressed slowly, at previous rates. Thoro was a slight improvement in tho inquiry for floating cargoes of grain, on former terms. The few samples of barley brought forward were dis posed of at very full prices. Malt was very dull, and previous rates were barely sup ported. Oats were in fair request at full quotations. The show of foreign was good.. Both beans and peas wore quite as dear as on Monday. Tho flour trade was inactive at late rates. Cakes and seeds wore a slow inquiry. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

CASTLETOWN OF BRAEMAR, Thursday Evening. The Braemar gathering, the most noteworthy of the Scottish gatherings for competition in Highland games, was held here to-day. There was a large number of persons present, many from great dis tances ; but the gathering was deprived of a chief attraction by the absence of Her Alajesty the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales. There were, however, present from Balmoral Castle Prince and Princess Christian, Prince Leopold, Princess Beatrice, Princess Louisa, and suite, with numerous and distinguished guests, and the summer residents at the principal seats on upper Deeside. The weather was towards afternoon favourable, and the contests were kept up with much spirit Highland honours were maintained by Colonel Far quharson, of Invercauld, and the Marquis of i 3 uutly, Aboyue 3'' i t 113 1 Sy 10 181 20 41 i 1271 50:1 181 1-q t 131 1241 1 113 121 1191 19 toil 5 par THE AUTUMN HANDICAPS.

There was not a very large muster present, but plenty of business was transacted ; in fact the day may be noted as one of the most active for some weeks. Of course the Great Autumn Handicaps were brought under notice, and the opinion formed of the itnposts by those "on change" may be gleaned from the following return of quotations. There did not appear to be any genuine commis sions extant, but Blinkhoolie, it will be observed, was the reigning favourite, though we only heard 'his price accepted to a " pony." Hermit was in good demand for the St. Leger, 55 to 40 being three times accepted in one hand ; while 200 to 100, after being laid, went begging about Achievement. Vauban was much inquired after. The return of quotations anent the Great Yorkshire will suffi ciently indicate the businesss.

Sir James Wilde gave a most elaborate judg ment in favour of the defendants, and refusing probate of the will propounded by Dr. Smith. Against that decision theplaiutiffs have now resolved to appeal to the House of Lords, and that of course throws the whole matter over till after Easter of next year.
